Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and smooth deeper folds where the face has flattened with age — most often the cheeks and the nasolabial folds running from nose to mouth. At Mediclaser the gel is placed under physician supervision after a medical interview, with cheek and nasolabial treatments priced per area. Because hyaluronic acid is a water-binding gel that the body gradually breaks down, results are temporary and build-able session by session.

Facial fillers at Mediclaser use cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks and mid-face with age, and to soften the nasolabial folds that deepen as that support fades. Rather than simply filling a line, restoring volume in the right place can lift and refresh the surrounding area, which is why the clinic assesses the face during the medical interview before agreeing a plan. Numbing is used for comfort and most modern fillers also contain lidocaine. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area, and results are visible immediately, continuing to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises are normal for a few days. Hyaluronic acid results are generally associated with a duration of around nine to eighteen months depending on the product and the area treated, after which the gel is naturally metabolised. A practical safety feature of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with an enzyme if an adjustment is ever wanted. Filler is suited to adults noticing flattening of the cheeks or deepening folds around the mouth; suitability and any contraindications are confirmed with the supervising physician beforehand, and it is avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding.
