It is prepared from a hydrophilic protein, glycosaminoglycan, which naturally exists in our body. It is injected under the skin restoring its volume and structure.
It is mainly used to fill wrinkles on the face and, more specifically, to fill the nasolabial fold (which extends from the base of the nose to the outside of the mouth), to correct deep wrinkles in the middle of the eyebrows, to increase the volume of lips and cheekbones.
It has an immediately visible effect so the patient can decide on the amount of material to be injected.
It is packaged in sterile syringes, usually of 1 ml. Anesthetic cream is used in the area, and with the help of a small needle, the hyaluronic acid is injected within a few minutes (5-10 minutes).
After an hour, a slight erythema and a minor swelling that may be present begin to subside.
