Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

The human body naturally contains hyaluronic acid (HA), with the highest concentrations found in the skin, eyes, and joints. HA is known for its ability to attract and retain water, which helps keep the skin well-hydrated. As a body ages, facial muscles, bone, fat, and skin lose volume and structure that lead to sagging, fine lines, and wrinkles. 

Injectable HA fillers restore lost volume, define facial contours and smooth wrinkles by providing hydration and support – effectively regenerating the skin and improving facial balance.

How is HA made?

It doesn’t come from animals (e.g. rooster’s head and face) anymore, it’s now made using biotechnological processes to make sure it’s pure and sustainable.

So, how does hyaluronic acid help?

HA is a special substance that does many beneficial things for your body. Here are just a few of the reasons to use hyaluronic acid:

  • HA filler is safe (biocompatible) for most people and can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if needed. This makes them a low-risk option for aesthetic treatments.
  • Keeps your body moist because it is good at holding water. Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that can hold onto water molecules. When you put hyaluronic acid on your skin, it will do just that: it will hold onto water to keep your skin hydrated. For this reason, it is used in creams, lotions, serums and cures in addition to Botox treatment.
  • Makes your skin elastic. Hyaluronic acid helps the skin to stretch and elasticize and reduces skin wrinkles and lines. Plus, it has also been proven to help wounds heal faster and can reduce scars.
  • Stimulates fibroblasts, which over time can promote your body’s own collagen synthesis and improves skin resilience and shape.

Procedure

Common Treatment Areas

1. Lips

HA is a humectant, it draws moisture in. That’s why your lips feel smoother, more hydrated, and softer.

2. Buttocks

Some researches showed the effectiveness of HA gel injections for short-term aesthetic gluteal augmentation.

3. Under Eye

Hyaluronic acid fills the hollows under your eyes. This reduces the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and bags under the eyes.

4. Cheeks

HA-based fillers add volume to cheeks with visible results. The popular cheek fillers are made of hyaluronic acid.

5. Chin and jawline contouring

HA fillers for chin & jawline soften jowls and sagging, creating a more V-shaped face.

HA-based fillers are now the best-known type of injectable treatment because they are compatible with the body. It last for 3–12 months and can be reversed using hyaluronidase if any problems arise.

In general, they are well-tolerated, but complications do arise. More than 90% of side effects are transient including bruising, swelling, and redness.

You might feel a bit of a burning feeling when we give you the injection. But this doesn’t bother our patients during the 10-15 minute treatment. However, mild pain, swelling or stiffness after the treatment may be more annoying. These symptoms usually go away within 1-2 hours.
