Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers at Estetika by Medfima provide immediate, precise volume correction and contouring for the mid and lower face using stabilised HA gel. The clinic's aesthetic physicians use premium cross-linked HA products to restore volume to nasolabial folds, cheeks, and facial contour areas where ageing or weight changes have caused hollowing. The procedure takes approximately 50 minutes total — 30 minutes for numbing cream — and results are visible immediately, with the full effect settling at approximately one month as any residual swelling resolves. Duration is 6–18 months depending on the product used and the area treated. HA fillers can be combined with mesotherapy treatments for enhanced hydration alongside structural correction.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are the most widely used injectable in aesthetic medicine, and their popularity reflects a genuine effectiveness at restoring facial volume and softening the structural changes that accompany ageing. At Estetika by Medfima, the filler menu focuses on stabilised HA products — meaning the HA chains have been cross-linked to create a cohesive gel that retains its shape and position within the tissue rather than dispersing like the native HA used in Profhilo. HA is a naturally occurring polysaccharide found throughout the body's connective tissue; as a filler, it is biocompatible, gradually metabolised, and — crucially — reversible. If a result is unsatisfactory or a client wishes to return to their natural state, hyaluronidase enzyme dissolves the HA within hours. This reversibility is a meaningful safety advantage over non-HA biostimulators and makes the treatment appropriate for first-time filler clients who may want flexibility. At Estetika by Medfima, the standard filler protocol for facial treatments (excluding lips, which have a dedicated treatment) covers the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheek projection, temporal hollowing, and jawline definition. The physician uses a combination of needle injection for precise deposit and, in larger areas, blunt cannula technique to reduce bruising and improve safety around vascular zones. Topical anaesthetic cream is applied 30 minutes before the procedure begins, making the injections comfortable for most clients. One millilitre of filler treats approximately one target zone — for example, the full nasolabial fold on both sides, or one cheek. The physician will assess at consultation how many millilitres are appropriate for the client's goals and facial anatomy. Results are visible immediately; final settlement occurs at 4 weeks when any residual swelling has fully resolved and the gel has integrated with surrounding tissue. Duration ranges from 6 months in high-movement areas (lips, perioral) to 18 months in lower-movement zones (cheeks, temples). HA fillers work well in combination with other Estetika treatments: pairing with mesotherapy adds hydration at a different dermal depth, while the sequence of PLLA or Profhilo first, then HA filler for residual volume correction, produces comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The Medfima team plans these combination approaches at the initial consultation and will advise on sequencing and interval between treatments. Contraindications include active infection or inflammation at the planned injection site, blood-clotting disorders, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Post-procedure: avoid intense heat (sauna, steam) and vigorous exercise for 24 hours; no facial massage for 2 weeks; swelling peaks at 24–48 hours and fully resolves within 2 weeks.
