HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS:
The treatment for filling wrinkles begins with a comprehensive medical assessment. Care for the face is carried out meticulously to determine the needs for improving skin appearance and reducing existing wrinkles. Gone are the days when aesthetic medicine distorted faces. Today, we lean towards entirely natural aesthetic standards. A treatment to fill wrinkles will be deemed successful if those around you do not notice that you have had treatments, but rather that you have a healthy glow with a radiant complexion.
HYALURONIC ACID:
This is a moisturiser that is naturally present in the epidermis and dermis. As we age, the quality of this hyaluronic acid degrades, and its quantity decreases, leading to changes in the dermis. Your skin becomes drier, and fine lines followed by wrinkles appear. The treatment involves depositing this hyaluronic acid in areas where it is lacking. We have over 20 years of experience with the use of hyaluronic acid for injections.
MUSCLE RELAXANTS:
Due to its action, it relaxes the treated muscles, thereby smoothing the wrinkled areas of the face. This treatment has been used since the 1970s for various neurological conditions. It is applied in minuscule doses on the face compared to the doses used for neurological disorders. Nowadays, these treatments aim to restore a healthy appearance to contracted and tired faces. Both of these products are sterile, medically controlled, and resorbable. Therefore, there is no change that is permanent. The correction lasts between 6 months to 2 years depending on the areas treated.
INDICATIONS:
A face is assessed from top to bottom, revealing each part of the face.
FOREHEAD, FROWN LINES & CROW'S FEET:
These wrinkles are due to hypercontractility of the forehead muscles. They are responsible for a severe expression on the face. To eliminate them, a muscle relaxant must be used, softening the face. These wrinkles should be treated as early as possible before they become established.
The duration depends on numerous factors, including the amount of hyaluronic acid injected, the treated area, and the patient's metabolism. Generally, results last from 6 to 12 months.
It is very important to consider that as soon as one undergoes an aesthetic medical procedure, there is a risk of swelling and bruising.
This is why it is advised not to have injections if you have a busy week ahead with events.
No, hyaluronic acid is not permanent and gradually breaks down. The results typically last between 6 to 12 months.
Yes, there are certain contraindications, particularly in pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals with autoimmune diseases, and those taking anticoagulants.
The most common side effects are redness, swelling, and bruising around the treated area. In rare cases, infections and allergic reactions may occur.
The pain varies depending on each individual's sensitivity level. However, the doctor can apply an anaesthetic cream to the area being treated to minimise discomfort.
A hyaluronic acid injection is carried out by a qualified healthcare professional, typically a doctor or dermatologist. They use a fine cannula to inject the hyaluronic acid directly beneath the skin.
Yes, hyaluronic acid can be used to improve the appearance of acne scars by increasing the volume and hydration of the skin.
The results are generally visible immediately after the injection, but may take up to two weeks to stabilise.
Yes, hyaluronic acid injections can be combined with other aesthetic treatments, such as chemical peels, to achieve optimal results.
Pain can be minimised through the use of a numbing cream or a local anaesthetic injection. However, all hyaluronic acid syringes are equipped with xylocaine.
The duration of the session depends on the treated area, but it typically lasts from 15 to 30 minutes.
No, the results of hyaluronic acid injections are temporary and gradually dissipate.
Patients may experience some pain or mild tenderness following the procedure, but this should subside quickly.
Yes, hyaluronic acid can be used to reduce the appearance of forehead wrinkles by increasing the volume beneath the skin and softening the folds.
DARK CIRCLES – THE EYE:
When your dark circles are pronounced, people will often comment that you look tired, even when you are feeling perfectly fine. A small injection of hyaluronic acid will fill in this defect and give your face a "healthy glow".
THE CENTRE OF THE FACE:
A face should maintain its volume over time. However, as the years go by, the cheeks and cheekbones lose substance and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid injections fill these areas to enhance them and restore the necessary volumes for facial balance.
THE LIPS:
The thinning of the lips and loss of volume is an evolving phenomenon often poorly appreciated by patients. By maintaining a natural sense of proportions (which is more attractive), the injection of hyaluronic acid adds character to the face. The injection is placed at the lip edge to redefine its shape, and we also treat the fine lines above the lip (sun damage or “barcode” lines).
THE OVAL OF THE FACE:
Skin laxity causes irregularities in the lower part of the face. It is possible to fill in the hollows to recreate a harmonious jawline.
Before each treatment, the doctor conducts a free morphological and medical assessment to evaluate treatment options and establish a treatment plan that includes all procedures we will perform throughout the year.
SONIA'S OPINION:
I have been receiving botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid filler injections at the Centre for several years. I desire a very natural result that gives me a vibrant appearance, especially for ageing gracefully. I have a well-established protocol: Twice a year, every six months. Since then, time seems to have slowed down, my jawline remains defined, and my skin is well-hydrated. My forehead lines don’t deepen and are much more controlled. I frown a lot around the glabellar lines, but that stern look is gone. I prefer getting injections rather than undergoing surgery, which terrifies me. Thank you to the Centre and the entire professional team.
