WHAT IS HYALURONIC ACID ?

Hyaluronic acid (also called Hyaluronan) is a component of connective tissue whose function is to cushion and lubricate. Hyaluronan occurs throughout the body in abundant amounts in many of the places people with hereditary connective tissue disorders have problems such as joints, heart valves and eyes. Hyaluronic acid abnormalities are a common thread in connective tissue disorders. Interestingly, they are also common biochemical anomalies in most of the individual features of connective tissue disorders such as mitral valve prolapse, TMJ, osteoarthritis, and keratoconus.

 

How many types of hyaluronic acid are there ?

The hyaluronic acid used in cosmetic medicine derives from complex laboratory syntheses obtained by means of biotechnology.

There are 2 large families of hyaluronic acids:

 

  • Hyaluronic acid of avian origin (such as Hylaform).
  • Hyaluronic acid of bacterial origin, Streptococcus equi, also known as NASHA (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid) (such as Restylane or Juvederm).
    The hyaluronic acid used in cosmetic medicine is a sterile, viscoelastic, colourless and transparent gel made up of cross molecules of hyaluronate. The best quality and the absorption time of hyaluronic acid depend on the quantity of hyaluronate molecules and on the intermolecular bonds occurring in 1 ml of the product.
 

What anesthetic imperfections is hyaluronic acid indicated for ?

The hyaluronate-based treatment is USED to correct:

  • Lips : fullness, turgor and vermilion border.
  • Volume and contour of the lips.
  • Folds (e.g. nasolabial folds).
  • Face contouring (e.g. cheeks and chin).
  • Wrinkles (e.g. glabellar wrinkles and oral commissures).
  • Periocular wrinkles ("crow’s feet").
  • Post-acneic scars.
  • Post-traumatic scars.
  • Soft tissue blemishes.
  • Rhinoplasty outcomes.
 

How is Hyaluronic acid used in cosmetic medicine ?

Hyaluronic acid is injected in very small doses into the areas to be treated by means of a syringe with a very thin needle.

 

Can the treatment be performed in outpatient care ?

Yes. The injections of hyaluronic acid are made outpatiently and the treatment lasts 15-30 minutes.
Local anaesthetic is usually not needed, but sometimes an anaesthetic ointment may be used, especially if the treatment is performed on particularly painful areas, such as the lips. Only in case of treatment with long-absorption fillers - such as Restylane Sub Q - used to treat the chin or the cheekbone region is it advisable to act under local or nerve-block anaesthetic.

 

Is the cosmetic result permanent ?

Hyaluronic acid is not permanent filler. This means that, once it has been injected, the product is gradually metabolized and thus absorbed by the body within a variable time depending on the area being treated and the product type.
The effect of filling or volume increase or wrinkle reduction is immediate and lasts from 2 to 12 months, after which it is possible to repeat the treatment periodically.

       

What are the risks and complications of acid hyaluronic ?

No. During the first 24-48 hours following hyaluronate-based treatment, slight flush may appear and the treated area might become slightly puffier than the result wanted. Small bruising may rarely appear in the injection area.
However, after a few hours it is possible to cover the treated area with make-up or lipstick.
