Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin that has the ability to retain large amounts of water, which helps keep the skin hydrated, soft and plump. With aging, hyaluronic acid levels in the skin decrease, which can lead to the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used to restore these levels, improving the appearance and texture of the skin.

Benefits of Treatment with Hyaluronic Acid

Reduction of Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Hyaluronic acid fills wrinkles and fine lines, providing smoother and younger skin.
Volume Restoration: Improves the volume of areas such as cheekbones, lips and chin, creating a more defined and balanced facial contour.
Deep Hydration: Increases skin hydration, improving its elasticity and firmness.
Immediate and Natural Results: The effects of the treatment are immediately visible and integrate naturally into the skin.
Scar Minimization: Can be used to soften acne scars and other skin imperfections.

Common Treatment Areas

Nasolabial lines (furrows between the nose and mouth)
Marionette wrinkles (lines that descend from the corners of the mouth)
Lip volume and definition
Cheeks and cheekbones
Jaw contour
Dark circles and bags under the eyes

The Procedure Hyaluronic acid treatment is a quick, minimally invasive outpatient procedure, typically performed in less than an hour.

Initial Consultation: During the consultation, Dr. Pareja will evaluate the patient’s facial structure, needs and expectations, and discuss treatment options.
Skin Preparation: The area to be treated is carefully cleaned and, if necessary, an anesthetic cream is applied to minimize any discomfort.
Hyaluronic Acid Injection: Dr. Pareja uses a fine needle or cannula to inject hyaluronic acid into specific areas. The precise technique ensures balanced and natural results.
Shaping and Massage: After the injection, Dr. Pareja can gently massage the area to evenly distribute the product and achieve the desired result.

Recovery and Aftercare Recovery time is minimal, and patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment. However, they may experience some temporary side effects, such as:

Mild swelling
Redness
Sensitivity
Small bruises at the injection site

These effects usually disappear within a few days. Dr. Pareja will provide specific aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding excessive sun exposure, not engaging in strenuous exercise, and not massaging the treated areas for the first 24 hours.

Results and Duration The results of hyaluronic acid treatment are visible immediately after the procedure and improve as swelling decreases. The duration of the results varies depending on the area treated and the type of product used, but generally ranges between 6 and 18 months. Regular maintenance treatments can help prolong and optimize results.

Risks and Complications Hyaluronic acid treatment is safe when performed by a trained professional like Dr. Pareja. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, allergic reactions, asymmetry, and granuloma formation. Dr. Pareja will take all necessary precautions to minimize these risks and ensure a safe and satisfactory experience.

Ideal Candidates Hyaluronic acid treatment is suitable for anyone who wants to improve the appearance of their skin and reduce the signs of aging without surgery. It is ideal for those looking for fast, natural results with no downtime.
