Hyaluronic Acid Injections
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body that plays a vital role in maintaining the skin’s moisture balance. With age, as well as due to seasonal changes, lifestyle, and dietary factors, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the body may decrease, causing the skin to become dry, flaky, and dull. The purpose of hyaluronic acid injections is to fill the spaces between skin cells, restore hydration, and improve skin firmness and elasticity.Hyaluronic acid injections act like cushions that provide internal support to facial tissues and cells that have lost volume and elasticity due to the aging process.
Hyaluronic acid not only helps maintain skin hydration and radiance, but it is also a popular treatment for enhancing facial features, such as the cheekbones and jawline, as well as filling wrinkles and making them less pronounced. The procedure can also be used for the correction of a nasal hump, lip augmentation, lifting the corners of the mouth, correction of dark and sunken under-eye areas, and chin enhancement.
There are different types and consistencies of hyaluronic acid products available. The most suitable product will be selected by the physician after evaluating the patient’s individual condition.
During the Procedure
The procedure takes approximately 30–60 minutes. Before the treatment, the skin is thoroughly disinfected and a topical anesthetic cream is applied. The injections are performed using a fine needle or cannula. After the injections, the physician gently massages the treated area to ensure even distribution of the hyaluronic acid. The treated area is then cooled to help prevent bruising.
After the Procedure
- You may return to your normal daily activities immediately after the procedure.
- It is recommended to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 2 weeks to prevent migration of the hyaluronic acid filler.
- Mild swelling, redness, or minor bruising may occur at the injection site. These effects usually resolve within a few hours to several days.
