Hyaluronic Acid Fillers in the Algarve Faro

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

Hyaluronic Acid is a substance naturally produced by our body, primarily responsible for the density and radiance of the skin in conjunction with collagen and elastin fibers.

Hyaluronic Acid is used for the temporary filling of lines and wrinkles, mainly on the face.

Considered an alternative to cosmetic surgery, Hyaluronic Acid has become the main ingredient used in aesthetics and aesthetic medicine in topical or injectable products.

How does hyaluronic acid work?

As the name suggests, it fills spaces, stretching wrinkles, making them more superficial or even invisible. It also hydrates and improves the passage of nutrients to the skin.

How is a hyaluronic acid filling done? Know the steps:

1. Cleansing: The area to be treated is cleaned with an antiseptic to ensure hygiene before the procedure.
2. Anesthesia: Depending on the patient’s sensitivity, an anesthetic ointment may be applied or a small injection of local anesthetic may be given in the area to be treated to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
3. Evaluation and marking: The professional evaluates the areas to be treated and marks the injection points of the hyaluronic acid to achieve the desired result. This may include areas such as wrinkles, facial grooves, or areas that need volume.
4. Injection of hyaluronic acid: Using a fine needle or a cannula, hyaluronic acid is injected into the deeper layers of the skin or specific points, according to the markings made earlier. The professional may gently massage the area to distribute the product evenly.
5. Evaluation and adjustments: After the injection, the professional evaluates the results and makes additional adjustments if necessary to achieve the desired result. It is important to maintain open communication with the professional throughout the procedure to achieve the desired results.
6. Recovery: After the procedure, it is common to experience slight swelling, redness, and sensitivity in the treated area. The professional may recommend the use of cold compresses and soothing creams to help reduce these symptoms. It is also important to avoid direct sun exposure, intense physical activity, and alcohol consumption in the first 24 hours after the procedure.
