What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide that belongs to the glycosaminoglycan family and is found in many parts of the body, mainly in the skin. Its chemical composition makes it biocompatible, which means our body can accept it with virtually no reactions.
How does hyaluronic acid work in the skin?
Hyaluronic acid is known for its unique ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. When injected into the skin, it acts like a sponge. It penetrates the upper layers of the skin where it attracts and binds water molecules. This results in the skin becoming radiant and looking renewed!
Benefits of hyaluronic acid
- Deep hydration: Replenishes moisture in the skin
- Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines: Fills and smooths the epidermis
- Volume restoration: In cheekbones, lips, nose, eyes
- Improvement of skin texture and tone: Makes the epidermis more uniform and radiant
- Natural result: Adapts to facial expressions

Application areas for hyaluronic acid
It's a flexible treatment that can be applied to various areas of the face, offering personalized results depending on your needs.
Hyaluronic acid in the lips
The lips, one of the most expressive and attractive features of the face, also show signs of aging over time.
They become thinner and more lifeless. Hyaluronic fillers are an ideal choice for restoring lip volume and restoring the aesthetics of one of the most powerful points in the facial image.
For this reason, lip filler is one of the most popular hyaluronic treatments in the world.

Hyaluronic acid in the cheekbones
If you want to enhance your cheekbones, hyaluronic acid fillers are the ideal choice. Over time, volume and firmness in the cheekbone area decreases and the face starts to look more "tired."
Hyaluronic acid for fine wrinkles
It has proven to be one of the most effective ways to reduce wrinkles in various areas of the face.
Application areas:
Nasolabial lines: The lines that extend from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Marionette lines: Vertical lines that start from the corners of the mouth toward the chin.
Glabellar wrinkles: The vertical lines between the eyebrows. Area around the eyes: "Crow's feet" and fine lines around the eyes.
Smoker's lines: Fine wrinkles above the upper lip.
With hyaluronic acid fillers, skin texture improves and we achieve a radiant, firm, and hydrated epidermis.

Hyaluronic acid in the chin
It's an area that highlights the aesthetics and overall symmetry of the face. Sometimes factors like genetic predisposition or due to age can lead to volume loss and asymmetries in the area.

- Accentuates the facial contour
- Fills areas with volume and restores fullness
- Corrects asymmetries
- Improves the profile
Hyaluronic acid in nasolabial folds
The so-called laugh lines, although they were the first lines we used to treat and address in the past, the modern approach wants us to have covered the volume needs overall in the entire face (cheekbones, tear trough (eyes), chin, lower jaw and finally go to correct this area.
The reason is to avoid creating a puffy face around the mouth area (like a snout).

Hyaluronic acid in the eye area
One of the most sensitive areas on the face, it starts to be affected by the time. Dark circles, fine wrinkles, or "bags" can begin to appear that make the gaze look more "lifeless." Hyaluronic in the eyes offers an effective solution for revitalizing the area around the eyes, restoring freshness and radiance to the face.
Classically, the eye area appears more deficient over time and this is mainly due to fat loss from the mid-face. An ideal treatment is a combination of hyaluronic acid in the cheekbone area to provide support and then supplement with special hyaluronic acid for the eye area to cover most of the deficit.

Hyaluronic acid in the lower jaw corners (jawline filler)
The lower jaw line (jawline) is an important area that defines the facial contour and proportions, giving a more harmonious and youthful profile.
With the passage of time, the lower jaw contour can lose its clarity and firmness because volume may be lost, the skin may relax, or tissue structure may change.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are ideal for shaping and restoring the jaw line, as they restore volume and significantly improve the structure of the area. The treatment is quick, non-invasive, and offers immediately visible results.

According to a review of preclinical and clinical studies published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, hyaluronic acid has been proven effective in skin hydration, wrinkle treatment, and overall appearance improvement.
Why does natural hyaluronic acid decrease over time?
Due to age
As the years pass, skin cells lose the ability to produce hyaluronic acid at the same rate. This is a natural cause that affects us all.
From external factors
There are factors that can reduce hyaluronic acid. Some of these are pollution, excessive sun exposure, and smoking. These usually cause oxidative stress, which damages skin cells and makes it harder to maintain moisture.
From hormonal changes
Hormonal fluctuations can affect hyaluronic acid production, leading to drier and less elastic skin.
- The epidermis becomes drier
- Wrinkles and fine lines appear
- Volume and elasticity in the face decrease

Hyaluronic acid fillers can even be used to correct an asymmetrical face.
For example, a person's cheekbones may have different volume on each side due to bone structure, atrophy, or other factors, making the face appear asymmetrical. With injectable hyaluronic, we can increase the volume of the smaller cheekbone, bringing the face into balance and giving it a better aesthetic appearance.

Facial hyaluronic treatment procedure
The treatment procedure is simple, effective, and can improve the areas you want: 
Specialist consultation
Initially, the specialized doctor evaluates the skin and facial features. Then you'll discuss your desires, goals, and any concerns you might have.
Then the doctor will suggest a treatment plan specifically for you, ensuring that the result will be natural and in your proportions.

Area preparation
To ensure a comfortable and painless procedure, the doctor uses a special anesthetic cream on the application area. We wait about 15-30 minutes for the cream to take effect depending on the skin type and area.
Hyaluronic acid treatment
The doctor carefully injects the material at the appropriate points, aiming to improve volume, skin texture, or eliminate wrinkles.
After injecting the hyaluronic acid filler, the doctor massages the areas where treatment has been done to properly distribute the material. The procedure usually lasts from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how many areas are treated.

Immediately after treatment
Once the treatment is completed, moisturizing cream can be applied to the area to reduce skin redness. The specialist provides you with detailed care instructions for the first days after treatment
Pre-treatment instructions
To have the best possible result, follow these instructions:
Before treatment:
Before treatment:
- Avoid alcohol and anticoagulant medications (e.g., aspirin) for 48 hours before
- Inform your doctor if you're taking medications or have allergies
- Come to the appointment without makeup for better evaluation of your skin
What to do to maintain results longer?
- Regular maintenance sessions: Ask your doctor so you know approximately when you'll need the treatment again before the results disappear completely.
- Skin care: Use quality care products that hydrate and help skin health.
- Sun protection: Try to avoid excessive sun exposure and use sunscreen when needed.
Application techniques: Needle and cannula
Hyaluronic acid treatment can be done in two basic ways, with a needle or cannula. The needle is extremely thin, allows precise and targeted application, and is ideal for small areas and fine lines. However, it may cause small bruises due to the application method.
On the other hand, the cannula is a thin, rounded needle that doesn't easily injure blood vessels. It's excellent for larger areas, like cheekbones or chin, as it reduces the risk of bruising and offers more uniform material distribution.
The doctor chooses which method is appropriate, depending on your needs and the specificities of each application area.

How do fillers differ from each other?
Hyaluronic fillers differ according to their molecular weight and density. Specifically:
- High molecular weight: Thicker hyaluronic, ideal for areas requiring structural enhancement and volume, like cheekbones, chin, and jaw.
- Medium molecular weight: Offers natural volume restoration, suitable for areas like nasolabial lines, lips, and deeper wrinkles.
- Low molecular weight: Thin and discreet, excellent for superficial lines, fine wrinkles, and epidermis hydration.
Special types of hyaluronic for each area
Choosing the right hyaluronic depends on the facial area and desired result:
- Thin hyaluronic: Has a fine and gentle texture, suitable for small, sensitive areas like fine lines around the eyes and lips.
- Thick hyaluronic: Ideal for structural enhancement and volume creation in areas that need stronger support, like cheekbones, chin, or jaw line. It provides lasting results and enhances your features even more.
Treatment contraindications
Hyaluronic acid treatment is generally extremely safe, but there are certain situations where it should be avoided or done with special care. The main contraindications are:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: There isn't sufficient data on the safety of fillers during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so their avoidance is recommended during these phases.
- Allergies: People with a history of severe allergy to hyaluronic acid or product components should avoid the treatment.
- Autoimmune diseases: In cases where there's an autoimmune disease, like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, careful evaluation and discussion with the specialist doctor is needed.
- Thromboembolic episodes and anticoagulant treatment: The treatment isn't recommended if you're taking anticoagulants or have a history of thrombosis.
- Infections or inflammations: It shouldn't be applied to areas with active skin infection or severe inflammations until they're completely healed.
For each case, it's important to discuss your history with your doctor to have safe and satisfactory results from your treatment.
Possible side effects
There are some minor reactions that may appear:
- Mild swelling or redness at the application site (usually subsides within 24-48 hours)
- Small bruises (disappear gradually within a few days)
Very rarely it may happen:
- Vascular occlusion (intense pain, white or purple skin color). If this happens, it's essential to immediately inform your doctor to apply the special antidote (hyaluronidase).
- Small bruises (disappear gradually within a few days)
Your specialized doctor will guide you at every step, so you feel safe and secure before and after treatment.
Combination therapies for ideal results
Hyaluronic acid can have even more impressive results when combined with other treatments, depending on your needs:
- Botox for smoothing wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and glabella
- Mesotherapy or skin boosters for deep hydration, tightening, and skin radiance
- Laser or radiofrequency (RF) for texture improvement, skin toning, and additional tightening
The combination of treatments will give you a comprehensive result if you need it, covering all your skin's needs.
Hyaluronic acid in other treatments
Hyaluronic acid can also be used in other treatments like mesotherapy and skinboosters. In mesotherapy, it penetrates deeper into the skin and provides rich hydration and radiance from within. Similarly, skinboosters contain specially designed hyaluronic that significantly improves texture, elasticity, and facial appearance, offering natural rejuvenation and freshness.
Myths and truths about hyaluronic acid
Myth: If you start, then you can't stop
Truth: There's no physical or psychological dependence. Hyaluronic acid breaks down naturally by the body as time passes. You can choose whether you want to do the treatment again or not, and there's no negative effect on your skin.
Myth: It has permanent results
Truth: Hyaluronic acid is a temporary filler that usually lasts 6-18 months, depending on where it's applied and the type of product. According to your face's needs, you can adjust the treatment without being "trapped" in one result.
Myth: It's not good for health
Truth: Its safety has been proven and it's approved worldwide by the largest health organizations. Additionally, in cases where there isn't the desired result, an enzyme can be used that dissolves the hyaluronic acid and returns the application site to its original state.
Frequently asked questions about hyaluronic acid
When do results from hyaluronic acid show?
With just one treatment you can see results immediately, which will then improve in the following days as the hyaluronic is absorbed by the body. However, the results of injectable hyaluronic aren't permanent, as the material breaks down and is absorbed.
How long do results from hyaluronic acid treatment last?
Depending on the application site and the material density used, hyaluronic acid duration ranges from 1 to 1.5 years.
Can men also have hyaluronic treatment?
Hyaluronic treatment is popular among men too, as it offers natural and discreet results.
It's often used to more prominently highlight facial contours, correct deep lines and wrinkles, or improve the under-eye area, offering a fresher and more rested look.

Can I do something if the result isn't what I wanted?
Hyaluronic filler treatment is special because it's the only facial implant for which there's an antidote! When the aesthetic result after using hyaluronic doesn't meet expectations, then its antidote, hyaluronidase, can be used.
This substance is in liquid form and whenever it comes into contact with hyaluronic acid, it breaks it down and returns the treated area to its original state. Hyaluronidase breaks down hyaluronic acid into amino acids, which are absorbed by the body. Common cases where the hyaluronic "antidote" is used are when the material is placed incorrectly or if an excessive amount has been used.

Does injectable hyaluronic acid treatment hurt?
The treatment is almost painless because topical anesthetic cream is used before starting.
Are all hyaluronic acid fillers the same?
They're not all the same as they have different density, which is intended for specific purposes as we mentioned earlier. For example, fillers with high hyaluronic density are ideal for shaping the face structure in areas like the cheekbones.
What is the best injectable hyaluronic?
There isn't one "best" hyaluronic that suits everyone. The choice depends on each area's needs and the result you want.
The doctor will use the appropriate one based on the desired result and required density. We always prefer certified, internationally recognized high-quality products.
