Hyaluronic acid injections can reshape the contours of the face, soften wrinkles and rebalance its proportions, without surgery and with respect for your natural beauty.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body, particularly in the skin, where it contributes to the hydration, suppleness and support of the tissues.

In aesthetic medicine, it is used in the form of injectable gels with different properties depending on the areas treated and the results sought. It can restore certain lost volumes, fill hollows, improve the contours of the face or correct certain wrinkles.

The treatment is based on a precise analysis of facial anatomy, tissue ageing and the balance of proportions. The injections are targeted, with quantities adapted to avoid any overcorrection.

The goalTo restore the volumes and contours of the face while preserving its proportions, its expressions and its natural appearance.

Hyaluronic acid injections are intended for women and men who wish to correct a loss of volume, soften certain wrinkles or improve the proportions of their face without resorting to surgery.

They may be indicated in younger patients to correct certain anatomical features or asymmetries, and in older patients to compensate for age-related changes in volume.

The best candidates are in good general health, have realistic expectations and are looking for a subtle improvement. Treatment should be avoided or postponed in certain situations, particularly during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in the presence of an active infection in the area concerned.

To enhance or rejuvenate the face in moderation, respecting its identity and natural characteristics.

Use of specific products to correct certain fine lines or improve skin hydration.

Step 01

Consultation

This first meeting is an opportunity to analyse the shape of your face, the quality of your skin, the distribution of volume and the changes related to ageing.

A precise clinical examination makes it possible to identify the areas that could benefit from treatment and to distinguish loss of volume from skin laxity, which would require a different approach.

We discuss your expectations, the products that could be used, the quantities required, the expected duration of the results and the risks of the treatment, in particular vascular complications, which are rare but potentially serious.

To define a personalised treatment plan, favouring gradual, balanced and natural corrections.

Step 04

Follow-up

A check-up is offered at two weeks; most patients repeat the treatment every 9 to 18 months, depending on the area.

Step 02 · Treatment

Anaesthesia

Generally no anaesthesia is needed, as the products often contain a local anaesthetic. An anaesthetic cream may be used for certain sensitive areas.

Step 02 · Treatment

Duration

Approximately 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.

Step 02 · Treatment

Setting

Treatment carried out at the medical practice, without a hospital stay.

Step 02 · Treatment

Technique

Injection of hyaluronic acid gels using fine needles or microcannulas, at depths adapted to the anatomy and the desired result.

Step 02 · Treatment

Recovery

Daily activities can usually be resumed immediately. Slight swelling, redness or bruising may appear for a few days.

Step 03 · Settling period

The first few hours

Slight redness, local tenderness or swelling may appear at the injection points. It is advisable to avoid strong pressure on the treated areas. Any severe or increasing pain, unusual change in skin colour or visual disturbance requires immediate medical assessment.

Step 03 · Settling period

The first days

Swelling and any bruising gradually subside. The result is already visible, but may be temporarily accentuated by oedema, particularly in the lips.

Step 03 · Settling period

After 2 to 4 weeks

The product gradually integrates into the tissues and the result can be assessed more precisely. A check-up consultation makes it possible, if necessary, to consider a complementary correction.

Step 03 · Settling period

After 3 to 6 months

The result is generally stable, with a lasting improvement in volume and contours. How long it lasts depends on the product used, the area treated and individual characteristics.

Step 03 · Settling period

After 6 to 18 months

The hyaluronic acid is gradually reabsorbed, at a rate that varies between patients and treated areas. Some products may last longer. A new session can be considered when necessary, with no obligation to repeat the treatment systematically.

Common question

Is the result immediate?

The volume is visible immediately, but because of the initial swelling, the final result is best assessed after two weeks.

Common question

Can the product be removed?

Yes, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an enzyme if the result needs to be adjusted.

Common question

Does the result look natural?

The aim is a subtle, harmonious improvement rather than a marked transformation.

Common question

How long does it last?

Generally 9 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and how quickly your body metabolises it.
