Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers restore lost volume and smooth folds using a gel that occurs naturally in the skin and binds water. At Medica Aesthetica dermatologist prim. MUDr. Zdena Stratilová uses them to refine the lips and lip border, soften nasolabial folds, support the cheekbones and chin and correct minor volume loss, with an emphasis on natural-looking results. Most clients return to normal activities shortly after the appointment.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a sugar molecule found naturally in skin that attracts and holds water, giving tissue volume and suppleness. Injectable HA fillers replace volume that is lost with age and smooth static folds and creases. At Medica Aesthetica the treatment is planned and performed by dermatologist prim. MUDr. Zdena Stratilová, who assesses your facial proportions and skin during the consultation and selects the appropriate product and technique for the area. A session takes around thirty minutes. After cleansing and, where appropriate, applying topical numbing, the doctor injects the gel through a fine needle or a blunt cannula to build volume or fill a line, shaping the result as she works. Common areas include the lips and lip contour, nasolabial folds, the chin and lower face, the cheekbones and small areas of volume loss. Results are visible immediately and continue to settle over the following days as any minor swelling resolves; the effect generally lasts several months up to about a year depending on the area and product, after which the filler is gradually broken down by the body. The treatment suits adults wanting subtle volume restoration or smoothing rather than a dramatic change. It is avoided over acutely inflamed skin and in certain systemic conditions, and the doctor reviews your history and contraindications first. Afterwards, heavy exertion, sauna, intense heat and pressure on the treated area should be avoided for several days.
