Fillers
Fillers
A filler is a thin gel that is injected into or just under the skin using a very fine needle, with the intention of creating local filling and/or firming.
There are many different types of fillers, with varying properties. Cosmetic Clinics works exclusively with premium filler products based on hyaluronic acid, a natural substance almost identical to that produced by our connective tissue itself. As we age, however, the composition of our body's own hyaluronic acid changes and the body can produce less and less of it itself.
As a result, moisture in the skin also decreases, the skin loses volume and firmness, and wrinkles develop. Hyaluronic acid expands and can increase up to 30 times its own volume (which is why a minimal amount is also injected). Moreover, it attracts additional water molecules to maintain this volume as long as possible. We work with Restylane fillers.
All about fillers
Fillers are used to address areas of the face, including volume loss in the cheeks, bags under the eyes, lips, smoker's lines, nasolabial fold, jawline, cheekbones, temples, marionette lines and chin.
Another, somewhat lesser-known treatment with fillers is hand rejuvenation, which combats the aging of the hands by adding volume. Neck and décolletage are also areas that can be treated.
All treatments are performed under strict hygiene and safety guidelines, and a comprehensive consultation is always conducted beforehand.
Because hyaluronic acid is an endogenous substance, an allergic reaction to it is exceptionally small. What you can expect after treatment is the following: redness, bruising, swelling, pain or stiffness in the treated areas. These symptoms usually disappear after a week (and two weeks in the most extreme cases). By the way, these are reactions to the giving of the injections themselves and not to the hyaluronic acid used.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are naturally broken down again by the body. This ensures that a treatment is best repeated after several months to maintain the desired result. Depending on the type of hyaluronic acid, the location of injection, the depth and the technique used, the effect of treatment lasts from 6 to 12 months. Clinical studies have shown that after each repeat injection, the interval until the next treatment increases, as the results last longer and longer.
Treatment with fillers
After treatment, it is best to leave the treated area alone. You should not massage the skin; the filler needs at least 2 weeks to integrate. You should also avoid heat such as sauna, tanning bed and sun for 2 weeks.
