HYALURONIC ACID FACIAL FILLERS

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule in all body fluids and tissues, the skin being its main reservoir. This characteristic is fundamental to skin aging, wound healing, and scarring.

With time, there is a deterioration in the quality of the skin and its repair processes, generating evident changes mainly in the face; this has caused various studies to improve the quality of the skin; among these substances is hyaluronic acid.

What does hyaluronic acid do in aesthetics?

Hyaluronic acid makes it possible to compensate for hydration; it is also an excellent volumizer for atrophies of facial fat due to its ability to generate collagen and static expression wrinkles. Its application provides flexibility, elasticity and moisturizing, so it has become an ally in cosmetic treatments that combat facial aging.

What types of hyaluronic acid are there?

Two types of hyaluronic acid can currently be found

Cross-linked hyaluronic acid:

It is denser and has greater consistency and rigidity, making it more durable over time. This is used to make fillers that aim to give volume. The most common application areas are lips, cheekbones, deep static wrinkles, dark circles and nasolabial folds.

Non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid:

it is lighter; it is usually used as a hydration supplement. It is combined with essential nutrients and vitamins to generate more excellent moisture.

What indications does hyaluronic acid have?

Hyaluronic acid can be used practically on the entire body, being considered a very safe treatment by an expert and with immediate results.

Its main uses in aesthetic medicine are:

Attenuate deep wrinkles and depressions on the face.
Fill the area of the cheekbones to improve the appearance of tiredness.
Outlining the jawline and achieving a more excellent projection of the chin
Increased volume on the lips, nasolabial folds, and conceal small expression lines around the mouth.
Camouflage facial asymmetries.
Reshape or change the relationships of the nose to give a more balanced appearance to the face, especially to the nose.

How long does a hyaluronic acid filler last?

The results after the application are practically immediate, but this is not a definitive result since an inflammatory process will cease between 5 and 15 days after the treatment.

It should be noted that the effects of the filler are always temporary because the body reabsorbs this substance; therefore, depending on the quality of the filler, the area in which it is applied and the density of the substance. The effects usually last between 6 and 12 months.
