HYALURONIC ACID
Facial Fillers
Dermal fillers are used to treat facial volume loss associated with aging. The most popular variety are hyaluronic acid fillers. In the periocular region, fillers can be used to treat grooves, reduce mild fat protrusions, treat static wrinkles, and compensate for cheek deflation and descent.
AREAS TO BE TREATED
UNDER-EYE HOLLOWS
Fillers can treat sunken under-eye hollows or reduce mild fat protrusions.

APPLICATION
- It is injected into the face with a fine needle or cannula.
- Practically painless (topical anesthetic cream can be applied). Some products include anesthetic.
- Performed in-office.
- Normal activities can be resumed afterward without requiring rest.
DURATION OF EFFECT
- Its effect lasts for 12-18 months. After this time, the treatment can be repeated.
- Part of the effect may persist as it promotes the creation of new collagen.
- The effect is immediate.
SAFETY
- It is a safe treatment.
- Hyaluronic acid is a natural component found in the body and skin, so it does not cause rejection and typically does not lead to adverse effects.
FACIAL FILLERS
Hyaluronic acid is a natural tissue component widely used as an injectable product to restore facial volume and treat deep wrinkles. It allows for repositioning of features and restoring areas that have lost volume over the years, or filling those that are naturally less voluminous: under-eye hollows, cheekbones, lips, jawline, cheeks, or temples.
RESULTS
- Facial volumes are harmonized.
- Treatment is individualized based on each patient's anatomy.
