Description of treatment
Filling wrinkles and folds of skin and improving the appearance of the mouth with hyaluronic acid is a method used for years in aesthetic medicine. It involves injecting the appropriate dose in places that require aesthetic correction.
Hyaluronic acid is used to fill wrinkles surrounding the cheeks and nasal-labial furrows and also to improve the appearance of the lips. The results of the treatment are noticeable for 12 months. The treatment consists in the introduction of the preparation with the help of a thin needle and syringe directly into the places requiring the filling. Depending on the place where the procedure is performed, the entire process takes 15-20 minutes. During the procedure, the patient feels no pain because the formulation contains an anesthetic.

Preparation for the surgery
Good general state of health is the requirement to carry out the procedure. In the case of chronic diseases and constant taking of drugs it is necessary to establish individual approach in a particular case (doctor discusses it in detail with the patient during the consultation). Keep in mind that some generally accessible drugs used, for example, to relieve pain or to cure colds, as well as some vitamin supplements, may influence the processes of bleeding and coagulation and require discontinuation for several days before the procedure. That is why you need tell your doctor about all preparations you are taking.
Contraindications for lipolysis include:

Possible complications
We work with the best specialists and put the greatest emphasis on providing patients with maximum safety. As with any procedure in the field of aesthetic medicine, also in the case of hyaluronic acid, complications are possible. We inform the patient about them in detail before the surgery. Possible complications include:
- allergic reactions (very rare, they typically take the form of self subsiding erythema)
- minor ecchymoses and bruising which subside quickly and are easy to mask with the help of makeup
- granulomas (treated surgically)
Postoperative care
immediately after the procedure slight swelling and erythema may appear which are a local reaction to injections. These ailments usually subside after a few hours. After the procedure it is recommended to drink large quantities of still water (approximately 2l per day). You should also avoid sudden temperature change.
