What it is

It is a medical technique in which hyaluronic acid is injected at a series of points on the face, always after first studying the features that define and give character to each face. All the materials are biodegradable, which means the body absorbs them naturally.

Who it is for

It is suitable if you want to treat wrinkles and folds, restore the volume lost with age or improve the hydration and quality of your skin.

Main areas

  • Nasolabial folds.
  • Corners of the mouth.
  • Lip definition and augmentation.
  • Perioral lines (barcode lines).
  • Cheekbones that have lost volume.
  • Jawline definition.

The session

At the first consultation we listen to your expectations and concerns and plan the treatment with you. The doctor then injects the hyaluronic acid at the planned points. One session is usually enough.

Aftercare

Following these recommendations helps you get the best result and keeps possible side effects to a minimum:

  • Don’t touch your face: do not rub or massage the treated areas for the first 24 hours, so the hyaluronic acid can settle properly.
  • Apply cold: use cold compresses or ice wrapped in a clean cloth to reduce swelling and bruising.
  • Facial hygiene: keep the treated area clean and avoid make-up for at least 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Is hyaluronic acid treatment painful?
Most hyaluronic acid products contain lidocaine, a local anaesthetic that reduces discomfort during the injection. A numbing cream can also be applied to the area beforehand. Some people feel slight pressure or a pinprick, but the procedure is generally well tolerated. If you have a low pain threshold, tell the doctor so they can take extra steps to keep you comfortable.
How long does it take to see the final results of hyaluronic acid treatment?
The first results are visible almost immediately, but swelling and redness can hide the final result for the first few days. Most patients see the final effect about a week after the injection, once the swelling has settled and the hyaluronic acid has integrated into the skin. Over the following weeks texture and hydration keep improving, because hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture. Following the aftercare advice helps you get the best result.
Can I combine hyaluronic acid with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine it with botulinum toxin (Botox), because each works on a different aspect of facial ageing: hyaluronic acid adds volume and rehydrates the skin, while botulinum toxin softens dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles. It can also be combined with chemical peels or laser treatments to improve skin texture and treat pigmentation or scarring. An aesthetic medicine doctor should plan and carry out these combinations, to check the treatments are compatible and avoid complications.
What can I do if I don't like the results of my hyaluronic acid treatment?
Hyaluronic acid is reversible. If you are not happy with the result, the doctor can inject an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid quickly and safely and reverses the effect. It is a relatively simple procedure, so the result can be adjusted or undone. Talking through your expectations and concerns before treatment reduces the chance of disappointment.
Are there any long-term risks with hyaluronic acid treatment?
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body, so long-term risks are minimal when qualified professionals carry out the treatment. As with any medical procedure, side effects and complications are possible. In the short term these can include swelling, redness and bruising at the injection site. In very rare cases infection or allergic reactions can occur. Long-term adverse effects are uncommon because hyaluronic acid is biocompatible and biodegradable: the body breaks it down and absorbs it. An experienced doctor and careful aftercare keep the risk to a minimum.
Are hyaluronic acid fillers available at the Manacor clinic?
Yes. At the Manacor clinic we use hyaluronic acid fillers to soften wrinkles, replace lost volume and improve skin quality and hydration.
What are hyaluronic acid fillers and how do they work?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are injectable gels used to smooth wrinkles, restore volume and improve skin hydration. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that attracts and holds moisture, so the result looks natural and lasts.
Are hyaluronic acid fillers safe?
Yes, when trained professionals administer them. The substance occurs naturally in the body, which minimises the risk of allergic reactions. Treatment should always take place in a specialist clinic.
How long do the results of hyaluronic acid fillers last?
It depends on the product used and the area treated. In general the effect lasts between 6 months and a year. The exact time also depends on individual factors such as each person's metabolism.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers compared with other aesthetic treatments?
They give immediate, natural-looking results without surgery. The same product can correct wrinkles, add volume and improve skin hydration. They are also biocompatible, which lowers the risk of adverse reactions.
