Cât durează rezultatele injectării cu acid hialuronic

Introduction

Hyaluronic acid injection is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses a synthetic substance similar to the body's natural hyaluronic acid. This substance is injected into the skin to fill wrinkles and restore volume to areas that have lost firmness.

BENEFITS

  • It reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
  • It restores volume to lips, cheeks and other areas of the face.
  • It improves the appearance of the skin, making it more hydrated and elastic.
  • The procedure is quick and painless.

II. Duration of results

Results are visible immediately and can last up to 18 months. The duration of results may depend on a number of factors such as:

  • Type of hyaluronic acid used: there are different types of hyaluronic acid, with higher or lower degrees of crosslinking. The hyaluronic acid with higher crosslinking has a longer shelf life, but may be harder to the touch.
  • Treated area: The results last longer in areas with less movement, such as cheekbones, than in areas with more movement, such as the lips.
  • Injected quantity: the results depend on the amount injected, but care must be taken that only the aesthetic dermatologist decides how much should be injected. 
  • Individual metabolism: each person's metabolism is different, which can influence the duration of hyaluronic acid absorption.
 

Average duration of results:

  • 6-9 months: for most hyaluronic acid treatments.
  • 12-18 months: for certain types of hyaluronic acid with a higher degree of crosslinking, used especially for facial volume augmentation.
 

Tips for maintaining the results of hyaluronic acid injections:

  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure: UV rays can accelerate the degradation of hyaluronic acid.
  • Moisturize your skin: hydrating the skin helps maintain hyaluronic acid in the tissues.
  • Protect your skin from the cold: low temperatures can lead to skin dehydration and accelerated degradation of hyaluronic acid.
  • Avoid vigorous massage of the treated area: vigorous massage can lead to the displacement of hyaluronic acid from the injected area.
 

Reinjections: To maintain long-term results, periodic reinjection of hyaluronic acid is necessary.

III. Post-procedure care

Immediately after the procedure:

  • Apply ice: apply cold compresses to the treated area for 10-15 minutes, several times a day, to reduce inflammation and swelling in that area.
  • Avoid makeup: do not apply makeup to the treated area for 24 hours.
  • Avoid sun exposure: protect the treated area from the sun with a high SPF sunscreen.
  • Avoid intense physical exertion: do not do strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
  • Do not massage the treated area: avoid massaging or touching the treated area for 24 hours.
 

In the coming days:

  • Sleep on your back: sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated for 2-3 nights to reduce swelling.
  • Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications: alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications can increase the risk of bleeding and swelling.
  • Keep the treated area clean: gently wash the treated area with warm water and soap, twice a day.
  • Watch for any signs of infection: if you notice redness, swelling, pain, or fever, contact your aesthetic dermatologist immediately.
 

General recommendations:

  • Moisturize your skin: moisturize your skin daily with a light moisturizer.
  • Use sunscreen: apply a high SPF sunscreen to the treated area daily.
  • Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures: avoid prolonged exposure to sun, cold or wind.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle: a healthy and balanced diet, sufficient sleep and avoiding stress can help maintain the results of hyaluronic acid injections.

IV. Reinjections

In general, as a way to maintain results in the long term, reinjections are necessary at intervals of 6-18 months. There are a number of signs that may indicate the need for reinjection:

  • Reappearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Decrease in the volume of the lips or other treated areas.
  • Change in skin texture.

It is important to consult your aesthetic dermatologist to determine the optimal frequency of reinjections.

 

Preparatory tips for a reinjection:

  • Follow the instructions of your aesthetic dermatologist regarding pre- and post-procedure care.
  • Inform your aesthetic dermatologist about any health problems you have, as well as any medications you are taking.
  • Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications these can increase the risk of bleeding and swelling.

 

Plan your reinjection ahead of time preferably a few weeks before the date you want it to be done.

V. Conclusion

Hyaluronic acid injection is a safe and effective medical aesthetic procedure. It can also be a great way to improve your appearance and restore your self-confidence.
