Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide - a sugar - that is found throughout the human body, such as in the skin. From about the age of 25 years old the body’s production of hyaluronic acid is insufficient causing the skin to slowly lose its elasticity and facial wrinkles and folds begin to appear.
Hyaluronic acid can be injected into the deeper layers of the skin. These injections can target against wrinkling, sagging of the face, revitalise the skin and enhance the volume of the lips.
This treatment method is one of the minimally invasive treatment options, as it shows the least possible injuries to the treated area and is scalpel-free.
The body metabolises and absorbs the injected hyaluronic acid over time and therefore, this hyaluronic acid does not produce a long-lasting effect. The longevity of results not only depends on the applied product but also on the life style habits of each patient. High exposure to sun and increased metabolism through e.g. excessive sport can contribute to the fast degradation of hyaluronic acid. In general, the effects of the treatment last about 6 to 12 months. Afterwards a touch-up procedure should take place.
Patients often ask about permanent implants, as the thought of a one-off treatment seems all too tempting. Due to safety reasons, I offer, like most plastic surgeons, no treatments with permanent filler material as it may lead to unforeseen risks and complications that may occur many years after the performed procedures. Based on my experience in dealing with such side-effects, I strongly advise against permanent filler and therefore, I solely use biodegradable, non-animal stabilised hyaluronic acid offering each patient the highest possible degree of safety with highest efficacy.
