Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

As we grow older, the synthesis of essential structural proteins like collagen and elastin starts to decrease.

Collagen and elastin play a crucial role in providing structure and support to the skin. As collagen production diminishes, fine lines and wrinkles become more prominent, mid-face volume decreases, skin sags, and the lips begin to thin.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are made of the naturally occurring substance to address facial wrinkles, replenish lost volume, augment lips, improve fine lines, minimize acne scars, sculpt define the jawline, plump and hydrate the skin, filling in nasolabial folds, marionette lines, glabellar lines, under eye hollows, and provide volume to receding chin.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, HA fillers are in the top five most popular non-surgical treatments available on the market.

What is hyaluronic acid fillers?

Hyaluronic acid fillers (HA fillers) are a type of dermal filler with the key ingredient within the filler itself being hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is extremely hydrophilic, meaning that it attracts water, which helps to keep the skin hydrated and plump. However, as we age, production of hyaluronic acid decreases along with production of collagen, which contributes to the formation of dry, wrinkled, loose skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be used as a way to reverse these signs of the natural aging process.

How do hyaluronic acid fillers work?

The use of fillers can eliminate wrinkles, plump and hydrate lips, replace soft-tissue volume loss, raise scar depressions, volumize creases and folds of the face and rejuvenate the treatment area.

Although the composition and formulation of each hyaluronic acid filler may vary slightly, they all incorporate cross-linking technology to offer structural support in the treated area. Notably,the hyaluronic acid in the filler helps to attract water, contributing to skin hydration and a rejuvenated, plumper look.

The effects of the treatment can be seen immediately and can last for between one to two years for a full facial enhancement.

When will I see results?

While every patient is unique, most patients notice some results immediately after treatment.

Following this, the healing process initiates, involving swelling for 3-7 days based on the injection amount, area, and individual response. The product settles, and your ultimate results are typically around 2-3 weeks after the injections. It’s recommended to allow a minimum of 2 weeks before any events or vacations in case of residual bruising and swelling.
