As we age, the skin dehydrates, fat atrophies and redistributes, producing concavities on the face that reflect light poorly, especially around the eyes, mouth and cheeks.
There are long-term absorbable products based mainly on hyaluronic acid (it is a component of our connective tissue) that artificially created in laboratories guarantee a quality filler material.
When it is more dense or cross-linked, it is used to volumize areas and when it lacks cross-linking, it is used to hydrate.
They are applied under the skin to restore the volumes lost with age. When the aim is to revitalize or hydrate non-crosslinked or looser products, they are applied more superficially.
Treatment is not performed on pregnant or lactating patients.
It is common to use fillers to lift the eyebrows, cheeks and give volume to flatter or smaller lips.
They can be combined in the same session with other treatments.
The duration of the effect is highly variable and can range from 6 to 12 months depending on the density of the chosen product.
There is no fixed application periodicity, being able to carry out the necessary touch-ups until the desired result is obtained.
