HYALURONIC ACID INJECTIONS:
The treatment for filling wrinkles begins with a thorough medical assessment. The management of a face is conducted meticulously to define the needs for enhancing skin appearance and reducing existing wrinkles. Gone are the days when the perception of aesthetic medicine distorted faces. Today, we tend towards entirely natural aesthetic benchmarks. A treatment to fill wrinkles is considered successful if those around you do not notice that you have undergone treatment, but rather that you look well with a radiant complexion.
HYALURONIC ACID:
Is a moisturiser naturally present in the epidermis and dermis. As we age, the quality of this hyaluronic acid deteriorates, and its quantity decreases, leading to an alteration of the dermis. Your skin becomes dry, and fine lines followed by wrinkles emerge. 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 in injections.
MUSCLE RELAXANTS:
Due to its action, it will relax the treated muscles, thus smoothing the wrinkled areas of the face. This treatment has been used since the 1970s for various neurological conditions. It is administered in minute doses on the face compared to doses used for neurological pathologies. Nowadays, these treatments aim to restore a healthy appearance to contracted and fatigued faces. Both products are sterile, medically controlled, and resorbable, meaning there is no permanent alteration. The effects last from 6 months to 2 years depending on the areas treated.
INDICATIONS:
A face is studied from top to bottom, revealing each part of the face.
FOREHEAD, FROWN LINES & CROWS' FEET:
These wrinkles are caused by hypercontractility of the forehead muscles. They contribute to a severe expression of the face. To eliminate them, muscle relaxants must be used to soften the face. These wrinkles should be treated as early as possible before they become entrenched.
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 prominent, people will often comment that you look tired even when you're in great shape. The small injection of hyaluronic acid will fill in this defect and give your face a "healthy glow".
THE MIDDLE OF THE FACE:
A face must maintain its volume over time. However, as time passes, the cheeks and cheekbones lose substance and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid injections fill these areas of the face to enhance them and restore the necessary volume for facial balance.
THE LIPS:
The thinning of the lips and loss of volume is an evolving phenomenon often underestimated by patients. By maintaining a natural perspective on proportions (looking more attractive), the injection of hyaluronic acid restores character to the face. The injection is placed at the lip contour to reshape it, and we also treat the fine lines above the lip (solar plication or "barcode").
THE FACE OVAL:
Skin laxity causes irregularities in the lower 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 the procedures we will carry out throughout the year.
SONIA'S OPINION:
I have been performing botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid filler injections at the Centre for several years. I desire a very natural result that gives me a healthy look, especially to age gracefully. I have a well-established protocol: twice a year, every 6 months. Since then, time seems to have slowed down, my oval is well maintained, and my skin is hydrated. My forehead wrinkles do not worsen and are better controlled. I frown a lot on the glabellar line, and the severe look is gone. I prefer injections over resorting to surgery, which terrifies me. Thank you to the Centre and the entire professional team.
