Fillers – Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that is responsible for keeping the skin hydrated.
Hyaluronic acid is responsible for:
1. The transport of skin proteins.
2. Protecting the skin against harmful environmental factors, through its relationship with collagen.
3. The skin’s healing and regenerative processes.
4. The skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the human body and, therefore, is described as not causing allergic reactions or unwanted side effects.
Hyaluronic acid is used in medical practice as an injectable dermal filler to restore volume and enhance the contour of the lips, as well as to correct age-related wrinkles.
Forehead wrinkles, frown lines between the eyebrows, wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, facial contours, and nasolabial folds (the lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth) can all benefit from treatment with hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid treatment is performed by injecting the substance locally using a small needle. The procedure can take approximately 10–20 minutes.
The results of hyaluronic acid treatment are immediate, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Medical note: Although hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, injectable fillers can still cause side effects and complications, including swelling, bruising, infection, and, rarely, serious vascular complications.
