Medical facelift with Hyaluronic Acid

A quick reminder about facial aging:

Over time, there is a loss of subcutaneous fat volume and skin elasticity. This leads to tissue sagging. This sagging leads to the appearance of the nasolabial fold, the jowl and loss of facial contours.

What can I expect from a hyaluronic acid injection?

The aim ofhyaluronic acid is to restore volumes lost over time. The aim is to lift the skin by adding volume, restore cheekbones and recreate a harmonious facial oval without surgery.
To achieve this, the surgeon must be able to analyze each patient's face to establish an appropriate treatment. Indeed, increasing volume through injections in the wrong place can worsen a sad, tired look. That's why injections must be carried out by a perfectly qualified doctor who knows how to beautify or rejuvenate a face by resculpting volumes.

What should I do after the injection?

The surgeon who performed the injections must give you post-injection advice:
1) It is not recommended to use make-up for twelve hours.
2) Avoid exposure to UV rays, sunlight and temperatures below zero degrees.
3) Stay away from saunas and steam rooms for 14 days

What are the side effects?

You may experience a little swelling or bruising around the injection sites.
Other side effects have been described as small, red inflammatory reactions, which can last up to a week.

Indurations may also appear at the injection sites, as well as a change in skin color, "particularly around the dark circles, the Tendall effect".
Very rarely, abscesses or necrosis have been described in the glabellar region and on the nose.
