FACIAL FILLING MATERIALS
In addition, they also help increase the volume and thickness of lips, mold the chin and cheekbones, and correct other signs of aging such as sagging skin without undergoing surgery.
Treatment
It consists of injecting a biocompatible and non-allergenic substance under the skin surface to replace natural collagen or hyaluronic acid, which are lost over time.
To replenish lost collagen and hyaluronic acid fillers reinforce the connective structures of the skin itself. And thus restoring the shape and smoothing wrinkles and lines to give the skin a smooth, uniform tone.
These results are achieved in one or two sessions of no more than twenty minutes, after which the patient is able to return to normal life – if infiltration is deeper, the patient may need to rest, since he/she will be given a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during treatment.
For the fast, lasting and satisfactory results, each treatment is completely customized: the right product at the minimum possible amount and the depth indicated by the problem and skin type is used.
The effects are long lasting but not permanent. They usually last between six months to a year, depending on skin type, and infiltrated substance. After this time, if infiltration is not repeated, the material is reabsorbed and its effects will gradually disappear.
