Crow’s feet are sometimes so deep that they do not respond to treatment with botulinum toxin and it is necessary to fill those wrinkles that we call static with low-density hyaluronic acid. It is injected very superficially, flattening the wrinkles from the inside and thus achieving a double objective: rejuvenating the skin and “erasing” the wrinkles. The treatment is comfortable and virtually painless with the use of topical anesthesia. Its effects begin to be noticed from the moment the treatment is applied and can last 6 or more months.
Arrugas finas
Flat, poorly defined lips do not stand out in the lower third of the face. To improve their definition by marking their limit, a small amount of hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin in the upper and lower lip. This way you can highlight their edges with respect to the jaw. The result is seen from the day of treatment and can be associated with an increase in lip volume.
Contorno de labios
Forehead wrinkles are produced by the contraction of the frontalis muscle that raises the eyebrows to express surprise or disbelief. This muscle may be stronger on one side of the forehead than the other or act more or less symmetrically. Small amounts of botulinum toxin will allow us to continue moving our eyebrows after 48 hours without marking the wrinkles that give our forehead an aged appearance.
Volumen de labios
Currently lip volume will determine not only the attractiveness of a face but also an alternative focus to the eyes of beauty and facial balance. Under topical anesthesia and in a short time we can increase the volume of small lips or give greater roundness to those with a good size. The injections are camouflaged and you can eat and drink from the moment you leave the clinic. Results can be enjoyed for 10 – 12 months.
Ojera
Dark circles can be marked because a furrow forms between the lower eyelid and the cheek, giving our eyes an aged and tired appearance. This area is a particularly visible part of the face, so improving it will produce a notable rejuvenating effect on the face. Depositing a small amount of filler in that area will hide the effect of time and improve the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. The anesthesia is usually local and the effect is visible from the first day of treatment.
Surco nasogeniano
This groove appears on both sides of the mouth, starting on the side of the wing of the nose and reaching the corner of the mouth. This furrow, which is usually a common cause of complaint, is present in all people, but if it is very noticeable, it ages the face and gives it a sad appearance. Although it can be improved by focusing the treatment on that area, many times it will involve the use of two types of hyaluronic acids in the sulcus region and on the cheekbones.
Pómulos
With the passage of time, the volume of the cheekbones tends to decrease and flatten and this gives a mature appearance to the face. By filling this area we recover a more youthful appearance and the luminosity of the face. We try to avoid puffy-looking faces or exaggeratedly voluminous cheekbones so that the result is more natural.
Cejas
Some people have a sad appearance due to the drooping of the outermost part of the eyebrow, the tail of the eyebrow. The reason is a mix of injury factors, the strength of the orbicularis oculi muscle, and loss of eyebrow support (either bone tissue or fatty tissue). By filling the tail of the eyebrow with hyaluronic acid and limiting the strength of the orbicularis muscle with botulinum toxin we are able to lift the eyebrow and improve the arch it forms to improve its appearance and change the expression of the face.
WHAT ARE THEY?
Facial fillers are substances that are used in aesthetic medicine for different purposes, mainly to temporarily improve the appearance of facial wrinkles and furrows and improve depressed areas of the face and other areas of the body. The two main fillers used are hyaluronic acid (in different concentrations and with different properties depending on the area injected) and calcium hydroxyapatite.
HOW DO THEY ACT?
Fillers “occupy” the tissue space that has been lost as a result of the aging of the body. As we age, we lose the volume of the face that gives us a youthful appearance, “shadows” appearing on the face that gives us a more mature appearance. When we fill those areas without volume with fillers we manage to give the face a more homogeneous appearance and, therefore, rejuvenate our appearance.
WHAT CAN BE CORRECTED?
The areas that we can improve are the nasolabial folds (folds at the corner of the mouth), the cheekbones, the expression wrinkles that cannot be corrected with botulinum toxin, the folds that appear in the area between both heads of the eyebrows, the “ barcode” (folds that appear on the lips), volume deficits in the lips, eyebrow drooping due to loss of volume, dark circles… that is, they can be used for many purposes with very good results. results.
HURTS?
The injection of these substances can be uncomfortable for some people, so a little anesthetic can be used on the skin topically or injected.
HOW LONG DOES THE EFFECT LAST?
Depending on the area acted upon and the amount of substance injected, the effect can last from 3 months to 2 years.
IF I DON’T LIKE THE RESULT, IS IT REVERSABLE?
In the event that the result is not as expected, it can be reversed with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that can be injected into the area that has not satisfied us and that acts immediately.
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WITH VERY STRANGE FACES, WILL IT HAPPEN TO ME TOO?
Nowadays, we are looking for “natural” results, that is, those that improve our appearance without attracting attention. The goal is to feel better about one’s appearance without noticing that a substance has been injected into our face.
CAN I ASSORT OTHER AESTHETIC TREATMENTS?
Treatment with botulinum toxin can be combined on the same day without problem. In the case of other treatments, they can be brought forward or postponed depending on each case.
CAN TOUCH-UPS BE MADE?
Yes, the patient is usually reviewed after 2 weeks to check if the result is good and the patient is satisfied.
ARE THERE CONTRAINDICATIONS?
Like any medical treatment, fillers cannot be applied to everyone. They should NOT be used in patients allergic to hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxyapatite or lidocaine, patients with autoimmune diseases, problems with coagulation or altered healing. You can always consult the doctor if you are not a candidate for this type of aesthetic treatment.
