Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

The procedure may cause some discomfort, but it is generally well tolerated. Many hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize pain. A topical anesthetic cream may also be applied prior to treatment for additional comfort.

A treatment session usually lasts between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated and the volume of hyaluronic acid injected.

Results are visible immediately after treatment, although mild swelling and redness may occur during the first hours or days. The final result is best appreciated after a few days, once swelling has subsided.

Results from hyaluronic acid fillers typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the treated area, the product used, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle.

Common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area. These effects are usually temporary and resolve within a few days. In rare cases, more serious complications such as infection, asymmetry, or allergic reactions may occur.

Before treatment, it is recommended to avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory medications, and supplements that may increase the risk of bruising for at least one week. It is also important to inform your specialist about any medications or medical conditions.

After treatment, it is recommended to avoid applying makeup to the treated areas for at least 24–48 hours, as well as avoiding extreme heat (such as saunas) and intense physical activity. Avoid manipulating or applying pressure to the treated areas during the first few days.
