November 3, 2022What are hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are injectable gels composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. They are used to restore lost volume, soften wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
How do HA fillers work?
HA fillers work by replenishing lost volume and hydrating the skin. When injected into targeted areas, they add volume and stimulate collagen production, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance
What areas can be treated with HA fillers?
HA fillers can be used to address various concerns, including smoothing lines and wrinkles, augmenting lips, enhancing cheek volume, correcting under-eye hollows, and reshaping the nose and chin.
How long do HA fillers last?
The duration of HA fillers varies depending on factors such as the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual metabolism. Typically, results can last anywhere from six months to two years. Maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the desired outcome.
Is there downtime after HA filler injections?
Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after HA filler injections. However, mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site may occur, which usually resolves within a few days. It's advisable to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol consumption, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours post-treatment.
Are HA fillers safe?
Yes, HA fillers are considered safe when administered by one of our experienced healthcare professionals. Since HA is a naturally occurring substance, allergic reactions are rare. However, it's essential to consult with our qualified injector to ensure suitability and discuss any potential risks or side effects.
Can HA fillers be reversed if I'm unhappy with the results?
Yes, one of the advantages of HA fillers is their reversibility. In the rare event that a patient is dissatisfied with their results, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to dissolve the HA filler and restore the previous appearance.
