Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

What Are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture, keeping your skin hydrated, plump, and youthful. As we age, our natural HA levels diminish, leading to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of facial volume.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are injectable gels designed to replenish these HA levels, smoothing wrinkles and adding volume to enhance your natural beauty. These types of fillers are biodegradable, meaning they are gradually absorbed as the gel breaks down and is replaced by water.

Once fully absorbed, the filler gel disappears from the body without noticeable effect.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Immediate result
Minimal downtime
Reversibility: if the desired results are not achieved or if complications arise, the effects of HA fillers can be quickly and effectively reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme breaks down the hyaluronic acid, allowing for the filler to be dissolved and absorbed by the body within hours to days, ensuring patient satisfaction and safety.

What aesthetic concerns can be addressed with HA fillers?

Restoring volume to cheeks, temples, and under-eye hollows

Enhancing and defining lips for a fuller, more youthful look

Contouring the jawline and chin for a more defined profile

Softening nasolabial folds and marionette lines

FAQ
