How does a wrinkle form?

• Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis
• The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, is composed primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network.
  • Most facial wrinkles and deeper nasolabial folds occur within the dermal layer of the skin
• Much like a sponge, its primary function is to absorb water, which creates volume in the face
• As we age, HA diminishes, which contributes to the presence of lines and folds. Hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm®, Restylane®) work to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin

[av_toggle title=’What is a hyaluronic acid filler made of?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-yekaar’]
Hyaluronic acid is a substance which is naturally present in the skin. It is of non-animal origin and unlike collagen, it does not require any preliminary test.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Who can get this treatment?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-wzz30z’]
Hyaluronic acid is suitable for patients of all ages and all skin types.
[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’How is it done?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-tzt1ub’]

• Hyaluronic acid filler is a nonsurgical, physician-administered treatment
• Using a fine needle, the doctor eases the filler under the skin to fill the soft tissue of the dermis
• This adds volume and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and nasolabial folds instantly
• The treatment session lasts 30 to 45 minutes in most cases
• We offer local anaesthesia to make the correction more comfortable, by applying an anaesthetic cream or by local superficial anaesthesia
  • Some filler products contain local anesthetic to make the injection more comfortable
• Fillers are available in a variety of formulations increasing versatility—
  • some are used for contouring and volumizing facial wrinkles and folds,
  • and others for deeper folds and facial wrinkles

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Post-Injection Recommendations:’ tags=” av_uid=’av-so3l4z’]

• In the hours following the injection, we recommend that you avoid excessive facial expressions.
• You are not recommended to expose yourself to sunlight or excessive heat (e.g. sauna) for long times during the weeks after the injection; or to touch, handle or massage the site injected
• Make up and usual care may be used on the day after treatment

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’What are the possible side effects?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-rj1j9f’]

• Inflammatory reactions (redness and swelling) which may be associated with stinging or pain on pressure may occur after the injection
  • These reactions may last for a week
• Swelling or nodules may develop at the injection site
• Very rare cases of discolouration (reversible) of the injection area have been reported
• Also, very rare cases of necrosis (severe tissue damage), infection, long lasting inflammation (granulomas) and allergy are possible
