Which products can be used? And what defines the choice of each product? What are the differences in the action/effect of each product?
I work in my clinic with hyaluronic acid in its different presentations.
Hyaluronic acid is highly versatile and offers natural results. It fills the space between cells and, due to its ability to attract water, it not only smoothes wrinkles but also improves skin hydration.
The choice of type of hyaluronic acid depends on the individual needs of each patient and the areas to be treated.
Understand here why I don’t work with calcium hydroxyapatite and polymethylmethacrylate.
How many sessions do I need on average?
Generally, one facial filler session is enough to achieve the desired results. However, in some cases, a touch-up may be necessary to optimize the results or treat additional areas.
Indications
Dermal fillers are indicated to correct static wrinkles (those that appear even when the face is still), furrows, loss of facial volume, thin lips, acne scars and other skin irregularities. It is an excellent option for those seeking a younger, rejuvenated appearance.
Main areas of application
- Nasolabial fold (the famous “Chinese moustache”);
- Lips and supralabial region (above the lips);
- Tear duct (dark circles under the eyes);
- Malar region (cheeks);
- Jaw line;
- Filling in scars and other skin irregularities.
Contraindications
Some contraindications include:
- active autoimmune diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus,
- pregnancy and breastfeeding

- allergy to the components of the formulation and

It is essential to consult a qualified doctor to assess your eligibility for the procedure. So, let’s book your assessment appointment?
Achievable results and their durability
The results of dermal fillers are immediate and improve over the following weeks, as the swelling lessens and the product settles into the skin. The durability varies according to the type of dermal filler used, but generally the results can last from 6 months up to 2 years.
Possible complications and how to avoid them
Although rare, complications such as swelling, bruising and infections can occur. To avoid complications, it is important to choose a qualified professional and follow all pre- and post-procedure instructions carefully.
Preparation for the procedure
Before the procedure, it is recommended to avoid the use of anticoagulants and to inform the doctor of any pre-existing medical conditions.
Post-procedure care and limitations
After a dermal filling procedure, it is important to…
- avoid massaging the treated area for the first 6 hours. After this period, the patient is free to perform gentle cleansing, apply sunscreen and make-up;
- avoid intense physical activity for the following 24 hours;
- apply sunscreen and avoid excessive sun exposure to prevent the appearance of ecchymoses (purplish spots on the skin).
Possibility of combining with other procedures (Which? When does it make sense to combine?)
Dermal fillers can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as Botox, chemical peels and lasers, to enhance the results and achieve an even more rejuvenated and harmonious appearance, in a protocol known as facial harmonization. In your assessment consultation, we can define which combinations make the most sense for your individual needs.
In short, dermal fillers are an excellent option for those who want to restore youthfulness and vitality to their skin. With proper care and professional follow-up, you can enjoy a younger, more radiant appearance in a matter of minutes.
