Hyaluronic acid injections, according to cosmetologists, are the most effective method of combating wrinkles. The main advantage is the rapid onset of the anti-aging effect.

Fillers - hyaluronic acid in the form of a helium filler - are injected with a special syringe-dispenser at a precisely defined depth. An accurate hit of active ingredients into the epidermis of problem areas is achieved.

The drugs do not cause allergies. Can be used for all skin types.

How does hyaluronic acid work when injected?

Artificial hyaluronic acid, at the end of the injection, begins to integrate into the tissue. Involving in natural processes, it normalizes the water balance. Scientifically proven, a hyaluronic acid molecule can attract 1000 water molecules.

As a result, the hollow areas of the epidermis are filled. Synthesis is stimulated. The upper layers of the skin are lifted and stretched. The wrinkles are reduced. A new face contour is formed. Studies have shown that the assimilation of hyaluronic acid by the tissues of the body occurs in 30-40 minutes.

In what areas of the face are injections used?

Lips

Lip reshaping is popular with young girls. One procedure is enough to give volume and a beautiful sexual form. When enlarging, changing thin lips, a dense gel is applied.

With increasing age, the body's production of its own hyaluronic acid becomes slower and in the lips, where there are no sebaceous glands, a decrease in volume occurs. When using soft to medium density gels, these disadvantages are well eliminated.

The procedure takes 15 to 30 minutes. In this case, 1 session is not enough. Hyaluronic acid injections may need to be administered more than once to evenly distribute, fill and shape the lips. Lips are a sensitive area and you cannot do without the help of anesthetic creams and gels

Nasolabial folds

Each patient needs an individual consultation with a detailed discussion of the upcoming procedure. And this concerns the nasolabial folds in the first place, as a rule, it is not enough to make an injection in this particular area. With age-related skin changes, the tissues on the cheeks and cheekbones shift. It is worth listening to the doctor's recommendation.

It may be necessary to carry out several procedures to strengthen these zones as a basis. Conducted with gels of dense compositions. And then nasolabial folds are filled with softer and more plastic compounds of hyaluronic acid. The correction will require several sessions. The effect lasts up to 1 year.

Forehead

Thinning of the facial muscles occurs with age. Age-related changes in the frontal bone lead to a change in the height of the forehead, the eyebrows drop, the bulge of the forehead decreases. Weakened thinned muscles no longer cope with the appearance of wrinkles

With the help of injections of hyaluronic acid for the face, the bulge of the forehead, reviews confirm that cosmetologists were able to achieve excellent results in correcting changes in the surface of the forehead. At a young age, this is the correction of a sloping, flat, concave forehead, pronounced browbone.

By the age of 30, hyaluronic acid needs help in the fight against horizontal wrinkles. Injections - fillers of different densities of hyaluronic acid achieve good results in smoothing wrinkles, filling the epidermis with life-giving moisture. The result lasts for a long period of 1.5-2 years.

Glabellar wrinkles

Glabellar lines are often called arrogant lines. Appear if a person, showing emotions, frowns. Overly emotional people have pronounced facial expressions. Gradually, dynamic wrinkles, which appear during facial movements, turn into static ones.

Resting wrinkles. With age, the brow muscles weaken, and the face takes on a preoccupied look even in a relaxed state. Hyaluronic acid injections, in this case, are done directly into the brow wrinkle.

Carried out with fillers of dense hyaluronic acid. By completely filling the crease, the skin will be lifted and wrinkles will be smoothed out.The face does not lose its natural expression. The effect lasts 6-12 months.

"Crow's Feet"

Crow's feet - wrinkles radiating outward from the corners of the eyes.

Can appear in women of any age. The habit of squinting, the use of poor quality cosmetics, unwillingness to protect the eyes from the bright sun and aggressive atmospheric environment. This brings the moment of the appearance of the mesh closer, then the rays of crow's feet. With age, crow's feet appear in everyone. Owners of thin, thinned skin notice them earlier.

Fillers of high molecular weight, purified hyaluronic acid are used. After filling the area of ​​crow's feet, the gel lifts the skin, smoothing out wrinkles, and starts the frozen process of stimulating the synthesis of fibroblasts. Attracts water molecules, stimulates collagen production. These injections remain effective for 1 year.

Women prone to the formation of bags under the eyes need to have the procedure performed by highly qualified specialists. Hyaluronic acid can increase swelling due to its water-attracting property.

Cheekbones

There is an opinion that a sign of beauty is raised cheekbones. If you draw one line from the corner of the lips to the outer corner of the eye, the other from the edge of the nostril to the protruding part of the ear at a point on the line of intersection should end with the cheekbone. In the resulting triangle there should be a protruding part of it.

Increasing the volume of the cheekbone of the face helps to reduce the overhanging of the cheek (roll) next to the lips. With age, the bulge of the cheekbones decreases, the muscles of the face descend downward.

In this case, hyaluronic acid injections for the face are made with a high-density composition. Local anesthesia is performed. The points of the location of the nerve bundles, the places of the fat packs are applied.

Areas where injections are not allowed. From filling the epidermis, the contour is tightened, the skin of the cheeks is smoothed. An experienced beautician shapes the cheekbones. According to reviews, you should not expect an instant effect. It will appear when the puffiness subsides.

Perioral wrinkles

Perioral (purse-string) wrinkles are called wrinkles between the nose and upper lip. They are shallow and come in different depths and are located perpendicular to the lips. The orbicularis muscle of the mouth experiences great stress throughout life.

Unlike other facial muscles that attach to bones, this one attaches to the dermis. There is no fatty bag in it. These muscles constantly stretch the skin. The aggressive atmospheric environment also plays an important role. It is especially worth mentioning smokers, from the effects of nicotine destruction of elastin fibers occurs. The habit of holding a cigarette actively contributes to the formation of wrinkles.

The area around the lips is considered to be dependent on extragens. With an imbalance in the hormonal background, it can manifest itself as changes in the composition of the skin in these areas. Hyaluronic acid injections to eliminate purse-string wrinkles are injected of medium or high density.

An experienced cosmetologist, taking into account the properties of the filler, will choose the best technique and the depth of the injected drug.

It can be linear, fan-shaped, reinforcement method. The introduction of spies is slow. After a few days, not only the elimination of wrinkles, gradual filling, moisturizing of the thinned layers of the epidermis occurs.

Cheeks

For the correction of the cheeks, injections with hyaluronic acid for the face are used in two versions. In the first, when you want to remove wrinkles on the cheeks. The introduction of fillers directly into the wrinkle carries the task of tightening the skin without making changes in volume. The skin becomes supple and hydrated. The effect of the drugs lasts up to 1 year.

In the second, when you want to give the cheeks volume. Use fillers with moderate to high density. Depending on how sunken the cheeks are, and what result the patient expects. The drug is injected in stages to achieve a natural or desired result directly into the cheek. An increase in volume is achieved, the skin is lifted and folds at the lips are reduced.

Doctors pay attention to the fact that excessive filling of the cheeks can lead to overcorrection. According to reviews, they are not visible at rest, but are pronounced with facial expressions and a smile. Begin to inject from 2 ml of the composition, further carrying out the correction.

The result with augmentation of the cheeks lasts from one and a half to two years.

Wrinkles in the corners of the mouth

Researchers believe that the slightly raised corners of the mouth give the mystery to the Mona Lisa's smile. Wrinkles in the corners of the mouth, on the contrary, create an expression of sadness. For correction with hyaluronic acid, you need 0.2ml-0.5ml of medium density gel. Depends on the depth. Injected just below the wrinkles. A pillow is created, it lifts wrinkles, tightening the skin.

The composition of the gel, which includes lidocaine, does not require anesthesia. The effect persists depending on the drug used and the presence of bad habits (smoking, gnawing seeds), from 10 months to 1 year.

Lip contour

The clarity of the lip contour decreases with age. They lose color, decrease in volume. The effectiveness of the introduction of hyaluronic acid in the correction of the shape of the lips is compared with plastic surgery. The beautician makes the first injections in the center of the lips. After observing how the composition is distributed, the contour correction continues. Injections are given in small doses.

Hyaluronic acid plumps the lips and gives them expression:

• proportions.
• makes a clear, expressive contour.
• unpleasant dryness and flaking disappears.

As a bonus, when correcting the contour of the lips, fine wrinkles on the surrounding skin disappear. The sagging corners of the mouth are also tightened. The procedure takes up to 30 minutes. Anesthesia is administered. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is used. The effect is visible immediately. It lasts from 8 to 12 months.

Puppet wrinkles

Puppet wrinkles appear by the age of 35. From the corners of the mouth, they go down (like in puppet puppets) to the chin. If you tackle the elimination with the first manifestations, then, as a rule, it is possible to achieve a good effect.

The goal in this case for injections with hyaluronic acid is to fill the tissues between the lips and chin with fillers. There are no difficult moments in this procedure. It is performed without anesthesia.

How is the injection procedure going?

After consulting with a beautician and checking the result of a mandatory individual test, they begin with cleansing the face. An anesthetic gel is applied to it. The time it takes to carry out the procedure directly depends on the site of the injection, the volume of the injected drug and the technique used for injecting hyaluronic acid.

Injections can be carried out either individually with fillers or inserted into a pistol with a dispenser. The finest needles are used. All syringes are disposable. Also, hyaluronic acid in injections for the face is injected using a cannula.

This is the thinnest needle, but unlike the usual one, its end is rounded and the hole is located on the side. It does not injure tissues, and gently bypasses the vessels. Injuries that lead to hematomas. Highly qualified specialists work with cannulas. The selected disposable filler bag is opened in the presence of the patient.

Each filler is marked with an individual number to protect against counterfeiting. The composition passport and the barcode are handed out and must be kept. After the introduction of the drug, the face is treated with an antiseptic and applied, an anti-inflammatory cream or gel.

It will not be superfluous to recall that, having made a decision on the need for an injection of hyaluronic acid, you need to take a very serious approach to choosing a clinic, based on the reviews of the specialist and his qualifications.

How to determine the frequency and number of injections required for the result?

Cosmetologists recommend to repeat the injections after 7-10 months to maintain the maximum effect. The period of maximum action of hyaluronic acid preparations, in injections for the face, depends on its concentration, the volume injected, and the individual structure of the skin.

Many patients, as the positive dynamics fade away, make corrections. It is necessary to keep the passport of the injected drug.
