What is Hyaluronic Acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a transparent crystalline gel. It is an extremely hydrophilic material that has the ability to absorb water locally. As a polysaccharide that naturally occurs in our body, it is a highly reliable and safe material for total facial rejuvenation (mildly cross-linked HA), and it is also an excellent solution for filling deep wrinkles or enhancing cheekbones. The treatment with hyaluronic acid provides immediate results in the treated area, requiring only a minimal time for injection (15 to 30 minutes). In some cases, it can replace or defer surgical interventions.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Implants
Hyaluronic acid implants offer volume, elasticity and deep hydration while always maintaining the natural expression of the face. At Athens Dental Care, we use well-known products with medical CE (European market approval) as well as FDA approval (U.S. market approval), including brands like Juvederm, Restylane and Teosyal.
These implants are fully biocompatible, absorbed by the body, non-animal-derived, reliable, tested, and safe.
By replenishing the lost hyaluronic acid in the skin, fine lines and wrinkles are restored, and lost volume is regained, giving the face youthfulness and radiance.
How Long Does the Treatment Last?
Hyaluronic acid comes in different densities and molecular weights to achieve various goals. The duration of the effect can last from 9 to 12 months for the more fluid hyaluronic acid, or from 18 to 24 months for the thicker type.
Which Type of Hyaluronic Acid is Ideal for Me?
There are various types of hyaluronic acid; the more fluid implants are recommended for fine lines (thin skin wrinkling) and wrinkles, while thicker materials are injected deeper to restore lost volume. At Athens Dental Care, a qualified plastic surgeon will suggest a treatment plan based on your facial needs and your final goals.
In Which Areas Can It Be Applied?
It can be applied all over the face, including the forehead, nasolabial folds, for increasing volume in the cheekbones and chin, enhancing lips and even reshaping the nose.
The application is simple and quick, allowing the patient to immediately return to their daily activities.
Post-Treatment Instructions for Hyaluronic Acid
Immediately after the application of hyaluronic acid, the result is visibly noticeable, although the final outcome will appear after 3 to 4 weeks, as it takes time for the surrounding tissues to absorb the water. However, during the absorption period, it helps to drink more water daily.
Tips
- Gentle massage at regular intervals for 48 hours.
- Optional application of ice locally during the first hours.
