Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are used for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and subtle facial contouring. After reaching 30, the body starts losing hyaluronic acid, followed by collagen, elastin and subcutaneous fat.

In addition, gravity and the use of facial mimic muscles lead to mimic wrinkles and loss of volume, making our skin appear tired and lacklustre. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, whose molecular structure is identical to the one our body produces. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our cells and intracellular space, and plays a crucial role in regulating the skin’s water balance and healing as it provides a deep hydration effect.

Therefore, HA dermal fillers are used to restore the fresh and youthful look of the skin.

How do HA dermal fillers work?

HA dermal fillers gently reduce the signs of ageing and subtly improve the natural look of the skin in three crucial ways:

Revitalising – they reduce and smooth wrinkles; when injected under wrinkles they lift the skin up while tightening and rejuvenating it.

Lifting – they replenish the volume and elasticity lost over time, giving a lifting effect and toning the chin and cheeks.

Defining – they subtly reshape and redefine lips and facial features (cheekbones, chin).

Kustec Polyclinic uses Restylane dermal fillers – the magical properties of their Vycross technology offer longer-lasting and completely natural results.

About the procedure

The minimally invasive and nearly pain-free procedure lasts for around 30 minutes and requires no downtime. The results after the first application usually last around 6 months, depending on the skin structure and absorption.

Consistent use increases the longevity, as well as the appearance and effectiveness of the results, so it comes as no surprise that dermal fillers are becoming a staple of anti-ageing treatments.

Besides filling in wrinkles and restoring lost volume, HA dermal filler injections are also used for hydrating the skin, and have been proven to stimulate regeneration and new formation of collagen. Most importantly, HA dermal fillers help maintain the natural appearance of facial contours, and actually benefit the skin.

They can be used for nasolabial fold wrinkles, cheekbones, cheeks, wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, neck, as well as for adding volume to the lips and correcting chin contours.

Candidates

Besides genetics, wrinkles are caused by other factors such as smoking, lack of sleep, everyday stress, and different environmental factors.

Progressive ageing of tissue starts from the age of 25, which is the best time to start wrinkle prevention treatment by adding small amounts of hyaluronic acid.

Midlife, or entering the “golden” years, is a time when skin ageing becomes visible, just when we least want it. Once we have become sure of ourselves, gained self-confidence and become successful, we want to retain our looks. Transitioning from our 40s to our 50s, and then entering our 60s, we experience loss of fat and skin sagging due to gravity, which can deepen our wrinkles.
