Injectable fillers restore our face’s lost volume and fill the wrinkles, giving an instant youthful look. With their appropriate use, a completely natural result can be achieved, specially adapted to the sex, the age and the special needs of each patient. The most popular ones are the hyalouronic acid fillers.
Where are the fillers used?
They are used on any part of the face with wrinkles, folds or “deficits” or wherever we want to restore the volume of our face.
• Cheekbones.
• Temples.
• Chin.
• Dark circles under the eyes.
• Nasolabial folds.
• Marionette lines.
• Lips (upper & lower lip contouring and augmentation).
• Acne scars.
How is the treatment carried out?
The substance is injected into the treated area with the use of a fine needle or cannula.
Is the fillers treatment painful?
It is usually well tolerated. The use of anesthetic cream or nerve block anaesthesia to more sensitive areas such as the perioral one, can precede. Besides, nowadays, hyaluronic acid fillers contain anaesthetic in the syringe, thus minimising any intolerance.
How long does the treatment last?
It depends on the treated area. It can last from 15-60 minutes.
What does the skin look like afterwards?
The result is immediately visible. Possible complications could be mild redness, swelling or “irritation” at the injected points which go away within a few days. Sometimes, mild ecchymoses (bruises) might appear which last for approximately 10 days.
The use of make-up is allowed 12 hours after the treatment.
How long do the results last?
It depends on the density of hyaluronic acid we use and the treated area.
The result lasts 6-18 months.
