The purpose of hyaluronic acid filler is to restore small losses of volume in specific areas of the face such as the tear trough, nasolabial folds, labiomental folds, etc.) and to emphasise structuressuch as the lips, that have become thinner with age or are congenitally too thin in relation to current aesthetic standards.
How does hyaluronic acid filler work?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is injected under the dermis using a very fine needle or cannula and is a fully absorbable product present in the human body and highly tolerable. The purpose of HA is to draw the fluids in the tissues to the area affected, ensuring lasting hydration. Results last between 8 and 12 months. The injection may be preceded by the application of an anaesthetic cream but is considered painless by most patients.
The aims of this treatment are hydration and skin rejuvenation, which prevent or correct the “hollowing” of the face due to age, but without “swelling” the face unnaturally.
