Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in all living organisms and capable of binding enormous quantities of water (up to six litres of water per gram).
For cosmetic applications hyaluronic acid is available in the form of synthetic products, i.e. not of animal origin and therefore free of allergens, germs and impurities. Depending on the formulation of the hyaluronic acid, the effects may last for 6 – 12 months.
Designed for specific applications, various products with gel particles of different sizes are available.The ideal filler for you will be decided during your personal consultation with Prof. Kakagia.
These implants do not require an allergy test.
The injected hyaluronic acid replaces the lost volume due to aging. With its own volume and the large quantity of water that it can bind, it pads the wrinkles or creases from underneath, making them less and less visible.
Hyaluronic acid rejuvenates and revitalizes the skin but will be absorbed after a while. Many patients decide to have a refresher about 6 – 12 months after their first treatment. Repeat treatments can be carried out as often as desired.
