Hyaluronic acid is a natural occuring substance in our skin, which can absorb water and have a filling effect. As days go by and the skin ages, hyaluronic acid will slowly be lost thus causing wrinkles, sagging or sunken skin to appear.
Injections of hyaluronic acid can improve these conditions, filling in sunken areas, lifting the skin and improving the contours.
Since hyaluronic acid is a non-permanent substance, it will decompose by itself in time, from 6 months to a year. The advantage of its injection is that if there are complications, there are specific dissolving agents that can be used. In addition the chance of hypersensitivity and infections very low in good hands.
Our specialist will assess the condition and discuss with clients on their expectations to determine the brand, the product and the amount used and its various advantages and risks, and different options. After the decision is made, a consent form will be signed.
There are different brands of hyaluronic acid, the density is different, and the effects are different, so our specialist will decide which one to choose after discussing with the patient. Different hyaluronic acids are used to treat wrinkles, improve contours, or fill in depressed areas.
Before injections, the skin will be completely cleansed and disinfected. Usually, no anaesthetics are used unless the injected areas are massive.
During injection, a suitable needle size will be selected. After injection, there will be instant lifting effects, and the satisfaction rate is very high. The injects will target static wrinkles mainly. Static wrinkles are wrinkles that can be seen without facial expressions, and are often seen in vertical lines between the eyebrows, or prominent nasolabial fold, wrinkles near the lips, and so on.
For facial contouring, it is used for nose augmentation or chin contouring. It can also be used to improve temporal area hollowness or sunken cheek.
Since hyaluronic acid is non-permanent, we can tailor the contour and amount used while our facial contour / features change over time and will not have inappropriate deformity associated with plastic surgery.
