Hyaluronic Fillers

Hyaluronic Fillers or the “substance of youth” are sterile, biodegradable, transparent gels. They are not permanent and very rarely cause allergic reactions, which gives them a significant advantage over previously more commonly used silicone fillers.

There are various types of dermal fillers; however, hyaluronic acid fillers are an absolute hit of the 21st century and anti-aging medicine. Hyaluronic fillers can be used to treat almost all areas of the face, neck, cleavage, and hands.

The role of hyaluronic acid is to give the face volume, fill in wrinkles (static) in well-known anti-aging procedures, and contour the face (cheekbones, chin, temporal region), which falls under facial beautification procedures.

What Exactly Is Hyaluronic Acid?

You are probably wondering why hyaluronic fillers have replaced silicone and become the number one choice in the world of beauty. The answer is simple – hyaluronic acid is a natural substance already present in our skin.

Hyaluronic acid is actually a complex sugar (glycosaminoglycan) found in the connective tissue of our skin and performs important functions:

• It has the ability to bind large amounts of water, hydrating the skin.
• It maintains skin tone.
• It neutralizes harmful free radicals.
• It replenishes lost fullness and volume.

Given that hyaluronic acid is a natural part of our body, the body “recognizes” it and accepts it as compatible, unlike other substances.

What Can Be Treated with Hyaluronic Fillers?

Hyaluronic fillers are most commonly used to fill in already formed wrinkles for rejuvenation or to add volume (lips, cheekbones, etc.). However, global trends emphasize facial remodeling and harmonization, highlighting its three-dimensionality and individuality. This is precisely what we strive for in our daily work with hyaluronic fillers.

A detailed facial analysis and a combination of various advanced injection techniques are integral parts of the work with hyaluronic fillers at the Rea Medika Polyclinic. You might be surprised by the wide range of areas that can be treated with hyaluronic fillers, and this is part of the secret to their vast popularity. Hyaluronic fillers are used for:

• Contouring and enhancing lips,
• Facial and cleavage rejuvenation,
• Nose correction,
• Under-eye dark circle removal,
• Cheekbone contouring,
• Filling wrinkles around the eyes,
• Hand rejuvenation,
• Lifting the cheeks,
• Removing nasolabial and smokers’ lines.

Hyaluronic Fillers for Rejuvenation – What to Expect and Does It Hurt?

Facial rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid does not require any special preparation. It’s important that you do not have a skin infection or any other inflammation, and that you are motivated for the procedure.

Before the treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed, and all makeup is removed. A professional will then apply an anesthetic cream to ensure you do not feel any pain. After 15 minutes, the anesthetic is removed, and hyaluronic fillers are injected into the facial skin using fine needles.

Thanks to the anesthetic cream and the skilled hands of our doctor, the pain is minimized, making the treatment comfortable. After just a few needle pricks, wrinkles gradually disappear, and your skin regains its glow and youthful appearance.

What to Do After the Treatment?

Recovery after filling wrinkles with hyaluronic fillers is short, and you can return to your daily activities right away. It is common to experience mild redness and swelling immediately after the treatment, but this is a natural reaction that subsides within a few hours.

It is very important not to touch your face after the procedure and avoid applying any cosmetic products. Additionally, try not to expose yourself to sunlight, tanning beds, or extreme cold until the swelling goes down.

20s or 30s – When Is the Right Time for Hyaluronic Fillers?

Wrinkles are easier to correct when they are just starting, so it is recommended to begin using fillers at the appearance of the first fine lines. This way, you can prevent them from deepening further.

Depending on genetics and lifestyle, some people may start developing wrinkles in their late 20s, while for others, it happens much later. In any case, do not wait for wrinkles to “take over” your face—act immediately.

 Hyaluronic Fillers for Lip Augmentation – “Just an Inch” to Perfection

Lips have always symbolized femininity and are often considered the most beautiful feature of a woman’s face. However, nature hasn’t blessed everyone with full, sensual, and well-shaped lips.

That does not mean you have to settle with what you have, as hyaluronic fillers, a completely safe and natural substance, allow you to achieve the lips you have always dreamed of.

“Doctor, I just want to tweak my lips, so no one notices.” This is a phrase we hear almost every day in our clinic. The term just a tweak refers to a gradual lip augmentation so that they appear completely natural both visually and physiologically after enhancement. We do not want our patients to drastically enlarge their lips after just one treatment and change the overall look of their faces. We advise them to make small adjustments to emphasize the shape or increase the volume of the lips.

Lip Augmentation with Hyaluronic Fillers – How It Works with Us

Before the procedure, you will have a consultation and examination during which our specialist doctor will discuss the treatment details with you to achieve the ideal results. Part of the consultation includes determining the exact amount of hyaluronic filler needed to achieve perfect lips and our “just a tweak” effect.

The next step is lip augmentation after applying a local anesthetic, which will reduce or completely eliminate pain, making the treatment comfortable. The fillers are injected precisely into specific areas with fine needle pricks.

The procedure is completed in just about fifteen minutes, and the results are immediately visible. However, on the first day after the injection, swelling occurs, which subsides within a few days, revealing the final look.

For the first twelve hours after the procedure, makeup and intense physical activity are not recommended. If there is any lump or slight asymmetry, corrections are made 10-15 days later.

What Results Can You Expect After the Treatment?

After a period of time, the hyaluronic acid takes effect, and your lips take on the desired shape. After lip augmentation with hyaluronic fillers, you can expect the following results:

• Lips that are plump, rosy, and natural-looking.
• Enhanced lip contours.
• Noticeably increased lip volume, giving them a more sensual and fuller appearance.
• Properly contoured and clearly defined lips, which enhance the overall beauty of your face.

Are Hyaluronic Fillers Permanent?

Of course not, the results typically last up to 12 months. After the first injection, the effects of hyaluronic acid last the shortest time. However, the good news is that with each subsequent application, the hyaluronic acid stays in your lips longer, making the effect more lasting.

It is also worth noting that with each additional treatment, less hyaluronic acid is needed for lip correction.
