Facial Harmonization with Hyaluronic Acid

The application of hyaluronic acid is performed using a needle or a blunt-tipped cannula through various injection points, depending on the area(s) being treated. The procedure can be carried out under local anesthesia, anesthetic cream applied beforehand, or with physical measures such as local cooling.

During the treatment, you may feel some discomfort as the product is injected. Some areas are more sensitive than others, such as the lips.

The effect of the treatment is immediate, although local reactions such as redness, swelling, or even a small bruise may appear, which usually resolve within a few days.

If you want to achieve a more hydrated face, reduce expression lines or wrinkles in the nasolabial folds or around the mouth, or enhance your cheekbones and lips, hyaluronic acid is a quick and safe solution.

You will be able to enjoy the desired results immediately, although these results are not permanent. The effects typically last around 9 months, so the treatment will need to be repeated to maintain the results.

Yes, there are several contraindications to consider when using hyaluronic acid, especially in injectable form for aesthetic or medical purposes:

1. Allergy or hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid or any of the components in the formulation.

2. Active infection or inflammation at the intended treatment site (e.g., acne, cold sores, abscesses).

3. History of herpes simplex in the treatment area — preventive antiviral treatment may be necessary.

4. Coagulation disorders or ongoing anticoagulant therapy, including use of aspirin or supplements that affect blood clotting (e.g., ginkgo biloba, garlic, vitamin E).

5. Pregnancy and breastfeeding — hyaluronic acid injections are not recommended due to lack of safety data.

6. Autoimmune diseases or immune system disorders — use with caution and under specialist supervision.

7. Recent laser treatments, chemical peels, or skin trauma — HA injections should be postponed until full recovery.

Hyaluronic acid injections can be combined with botulinum toxin application to also target expression lines or dynamic wrinkles. They can also be combined with a chemical peel or the removal of certain facial skin lesions.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance present in our body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume.

In aesthetic medicine, it is used as a filler to correct asymmetries, restore lost volume, and redefine facial contours.

• Improvement of facial symmetry and proportion

• Immediate results with a natural appearance

• Quick and minimally invasive procedure

• Does not require surgery or extended recovery time

The effects can last between 9 and 18 months, depending on the treated area, the type of product used, and the individual characteristics of each patient. For example, in smokers, the duration of results is often shorter.
