What does hyaluronic acid wrinkle treatment involve and what are the side effects of the procedure?
Hyaluronic acid treatment is a non-surgical procedure that provides immediate results with minimal ecovery time. The actual procedure involves the insertion of a fine needle under the skin that helps to correctly fill wrinkles or augment the lips, cheekbones and more. Speaking of wrinkles, the intervention is performed under local anesthesia, and depending on the area in focus, either an ointment will be applied or a local anesthetic will be injected. The injections are not painful and the procedure is quick.
Before treatment, it is important to:
- make-up remover is used to remove any traces of make-up;
- avoid pills such as aspirin and any others with blood-thinning effects for at least 10 days.
It is important to note that there are two techniques that can treat the same problem – hyaluronic acid and autologous injections. The latter represent the injection of one’s own fat – a 100% natural procedure, only performed in an operating room.
As side effects of the injection, we mention some slight discomfort, redness, swelling or bruising. These are normal symptoms that pass within seven days at most.
To lessen the effects, it is important to:
- avoid anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory drugs seven days before the procedure;
- avoid foods such as garlic or coffee seven days before the injection;
- avoid food supplements seven days before the procedure;
- do not apply make-up on the skin for 12 days after the procedure;
- avoid exposure to sunlight and high temperatures for 12 days after treatment.
How long does it take to see the result of hyaluronic acid treatment and how long does it last?
The result of the injection is instant. However, in the case of lip augmentation, the final result will be visible after about two weeks.
As for the persistence of the effect, for lip augmentation and correction of dark circles, the duration is 6 months, for wrinkle treatment – between 6 and 12 months, hand rejuvenation and rhinoplasty – 12 months, and for cheekbone augmentation – 18 months.
