Instant results!

The procedure is performed using safe hyaluronic acid preparations designed to be injected deeply and provide rapid effects in areas where larger quantities are required: the cheeks, the chin and the lower face.
Hyaluronic acid, the basis for these preparations, is the most widely used filler in aesthetic medicine. Used for over 17 years in ophthalmology, rheumatology and dental surgery, hyaluronic acid is also a tested and frequent ingredient of cosmetic products. The acid occurs naturally in the skin and is one of its main components. The above-mentioned volumising preparations are injectable biodegradable implants that will be absorbed completely within 12 to 18 months.
They are recommended for filling the cheeks, the temples, the chin and lower face.
These fillers are very effective in correcting facial asymmetry and restoring facial contours. They are particularly recommended for people who have lost weight and their faces have been affected by the process, for patients with increasingly sagging skin, and those suffering from facial lipoatrophy.
The formulations are extremely well tolerated because they are composed of pharmaceutical-grade hyaluronic acid. They integrate completely with dermal tissue and adapt to the treated areas of the face. They also nourish and hydrate the skin, making it smooth and tighter.
After applying Emla cream to the skin as an anaesthetic, the filler is injected into the bottom of the treated area. The entire procedure usually lasts about 40 minutes.
Post-treatment recommendations:
There may be occasional swelling after the treatment, but it will usually subside within 24 hours. If your blood vessels are very fragile or if a vessel is inadvertently punctured, bruising may occur. Both effects are normal and will subside. Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, needle marks may be visible for some time, which is also normal and temporary.
The full effect of the treatment will be seen after 2-3 days.
Normal washing and make-up products may be used; they must be applied with clean hands.
The following are best avoided for 24 hours after the treatment:
– fruit acid creams – they may cause stinging and irritation of the skin
– alcohol consumption, sauna, swimming and sun exposure
– exercise involving jumps (aerobics, running)
– air travel immediately after the treatment
An interval of 28 days is recommended before treatment with laser, IPL and skin tightening devices. Other injections, peelings and microdermabrasion may be performed after 7 days. Healing therapies (e.g. red light) can be used immediately.
Air travel is allowed, but it may cause swelling to recur or last longer. The filler is best injected at least 72 hours before the flight.
Contraindications:
– inflammation of the skin,
– herpes,
– serious systemic diseases,
– pregnancy and lactation (relative contraindication),
– autoimmune diseases,
– tendency for scarring.
