Dermal Filler - Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance produced in the body which gives the tissues volume, moisture and elasticity however, over the years the amount of such substance our body produces decreases.

Hyaluronic acid injection is considered the most effective treatment method for refining and filling wrinkles and is very popular because the results of the treatment are immediate and even gradually improve over time after it integrates with the existing acid in shrunk tissues.

The most common wrinkles/lines to fill with hyaluronic acid are:

 

Nasolabial Folds (wrinkles to the side of the mouth and nose)
In fact it is not a wrinkle but rather a fold of the skin as a result of sagging skin in the aging process which may appear as early as age 30.
The substance is injected deep into the cheekbone area to lift the sagging of the skin in the area and only then can hyaluronic acid be injected directly into the wrinkle.

Smokers and Talkers Lines

Vertical wrinkles that form over the upper lip as a result of hypermobility of the lips, smoking, eating and speaking. Wrinkles are more common in women than men because they have thinner skin.

In addition, these wrinkles appear more clearly and deeply in smokers but they also exist in non-smokers

Marionette Lines
The wrinkles at the corner of the mouth to the line of the jaw, they too are actually folds of skin resulting from sagging skin and loss of support of the jaw and teeth.
They are named after the movement of the jaw in the sting puppet so that it can "talk"; these wrinkles are also called "disappointment/sadness lines" because they give a person a disappointed/sad look.
Restoring volume to the cheek area is done by injecting hyaluronic acid deep into the cheekbone, which will cause it to lift the sagging skin. An injection is also made to the lower cheek and chin to encourage natural protein production and thus lift and support the wrinkle.
