Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers add volume and definition where the face has lost fullness, and can enhance the lips, define the cheekbones and soften the folds from nose to mouth. ArtisMed uses hyaluronic acid, a substance that binds water to hydrate the skin while smoothing wrinkles and restoring contour. Results are visible immediately, and because the gel is hyaluronic acid it can be dissolved if an adjustment is ever wanted.

Dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid are soft gels injected beneath the skin to replace lost volume, refine facial contours and smooth deeper static lines. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule found naturally in the skin that binds water strongly, so as well as physically lifting and shaping an area it draws in moisture to hydrate and plump the tissue. At ArtisMed fillers are used to enhance and shape the lips, restore volume to flattened cheeks and define the cheekbones, soften nasolabial folds and marionette lines, and improve overall facial balance. Treatment starts with an assessment of your face and a discussion of your goals, after which the injector recommends a suitable product and the number of syringes. A topical numbing cream is applied and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area; results are visible straight away and continue to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises for a few days are normal. Hyaluronic acid filler typically lasts from around six to twelve months in mobile areas such as the lips and longer in others, after which it is gradually broken down by the body. A particular safety advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you wish to reverse or fine-tune a result. Fillers suit adults wanting fuller lips, restored cheek or facial volume, or softer folds; they are not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and suitability is checked beforehand.
