Hyaluronic Acid
Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers is one of the most innovative and safest methods in Cosmetic Medicine. It is a minimally invasive anti-aging solution that involves injecting Hyaluronic Acid beneath the skin of the face.
Hyaluronic Acid is a multifunctional ingredient, ideal for volume restoration, deep hydration, and skin renewal on the face, body, or limbs.
Its ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water moisturizes and firms the skin, while also strengthening its defense and acting as a protective barrier.
- Improves skin texture and reshapes the facial contour
- Replenishes lost skin volume
- Contours facial lines, cheekbones, and jawline (mid face and jawline contouring)
- Enhances lip contour and reshapes their form
- Quick and painless procedure, using local anesthesia
- Immediate visible results that can last up to 18 months
Over time, the amount of Hyaluronic Acid decreases, leading to the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss in various facial areas.
Applying Hyaluronic Acid replenishes this loss and rejuvenates the skin, giving it a youthful and radiant appearance. The filler is a transparent gel placed in areas of the face to eliminate wrinkles and increase skin elasticity.
Where can it be applied and what needs does it address?
Nasolabial folds (nasolabial ligament)
The restoration of nasolabial folds with Hyaluronic Acid implants is the most widespread application of this treatment worldwide. This method provides complete wrinkle elimination and overall facial support.
Deepening of these folds is often linked to facial sagging and skin folding around the nasolabial ligament. Hyaluronic Acid is the most effective solution for deep, static facial wrinkles such as “smile lines.” The doctor injects the hyaluronic acid directly into the skin folds, resulting in refreshed, firm, and hydrated skin.
Perioral area
Using Hyaluronic Acid filler corrects sadness lines and reduces wrinkles around the mouth corners as well as vertical smoker’s lines. The Hyaluronic Acid “fills” wrinkles, grooves, and fine lines, creating an internal supportive layer and helping reshape and enhance the facial contour.
Tear trough (dark circles)
Injectable Hyaluronic Acid implants help eliminate dark circles and smooth the tear trough. The treatment can correct the tear trough depression under the eyes, which causes heaviness and tiredness in the skin.
Loss of youthful fat around the eyes can be noticeable even at younger ages. Restoring this area with specially developed Hyaluronic Acid implants provides an immediate and minimally invasive solution to this increasingly common problem.
Applying Hyaluronic Acid around the eyes offers a natural result, renewing the face without altering expression and giving a rested, youthful look.
Cheekbones
The cheekbones and mid-face are the primary support areas of the face. Volume loss here can cause vertical sagging.
This worsens nasolabial folds, sadness lines, and the appearance of dark circles. Therefore, restoring volume to the cheekbones improves many adjacent areas and reduces the need for other treatments.

Jawline and chin contouring
With modern Hyaluronic Acid implants, it is now possible to precisely and fully sculpt an impressive jawline and harmonious chin, tailored to each individual’s profile, in minimal time.
For men, masculinization of the jaw is designed, while for women, the treatment aims for a well-defined, clear oval that perfectly separates the face from the neck.
This method highlights the angles of the lower jaw, the jawline, and the facial contour, restoring volume lost over time.
A key advantage of this treatment is the remarkable improvement of neck laxity without the need for additional surgery.
Temples and forehead
Hyaluronic Acid fillers are injected in the forehead (forehead remodeling) and temples. This procedure lifts the brow area and gives the temples a natural, rounded shape with long-lasting results. It also restores forehead hollowness and eliminates wrinkles.
Lips
If you desire full lips with increased volume and defined contours, fillers are the ideal solution. Thanks to the smooth texture of Hyaluronic Acid, lips maintain softness and elasticity, providing a natural feel and appearance.
The doctor uses an appropriate amount to enhance the lip contour, restore the golden ratio between upper and lower lips, and correct any asymmetries, always in harmony with the rest of the facial features. Results are immediately visible and improve over the next 2-3 days.
Nose
Hyaluronic Acid offers a painless and bloodless solution for reshaping the nose without incisions or scars. Using a specialized microcannula from a single entry point avoids multiple traumatic injections typical of classic needles.
The nose shape can be redesigned to enhance the nasal bridge, slim the dorsum, and lift the tip. The doctor can correct imperfections on the dorsum, base, or nostrils, straighten hooked or crooked areas, and fix asymmetries for a more harmonious result in relation to the rest of the face.
Acne scars
Hyaluronic Acid activates collagen and elastin production, leading to the immediate elimination of acne scars and other atrophic scars. It is the top choice for correcting and smoothing scars on the face and body caused by acne, injuries, surgeries, or mild burns. Skin uniformity and softness are restored, the epidermis is smoothed, hydrated, and becomes more even.

Results and Recovery
Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid usually lasts 10 to 20 minutes per ml injected and can be performed year-round. Results are immediately visible from the first session and improve over 2-3 days. Depending on the area and material type, results can last up to 2 years.
The duration depends on factors such as the amount injected, anatomical area, muscle size, gender, and lifestyle. For example, heavy smokers may experience lip results lasting 6-8 months. Return to daily activities is immediate.

Useful Tips
Before Treatment
- If you take blood-thinning medications, you should discontinue them a few days before treatment, always with your doctor’s approval. Similarly, avoid certain supplements like vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, and alcohol, as they increase the likelihood of bruising at injection sites.
- Avoid waxing, sun exposure, and the use of exfoliating products or acids for a few days before treatment.
After Treatment
- Avoid intense physical exercise for 2-3 days.
- Mild bruising or swelling at injection sites may occur but usually subsides quickly. Apply ice and arnica cream locally.
- Use daily sunscreen immediately after treatment.
