What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies, mainly in the skin, eyes, and joints. It acts like a sponge, capable of retaining up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it a key component for skin hydration and volume. However, with age, its production decreases, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of firmness. Hyaluronic acid injections help reintroduce this essential molecule into the targeted areas, restoring the skin to a younger, smoother appearance.
The benefits of hyaluronic acid injections
Hyaluronic acid injections offer many advantages:
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles: They effectively fill in facial wrinkles, including forehead wrinkles, nasolabial folds, crow’s feet wrinkles, and wrinkles around the mouth.
- Volume Enhancement: They restore lost volume in the cheeks, temples and lips, providing a natural lifting effect without surgery.
- Intense hydration: In addition to filling wrinkles, hyaluronic acid deeply moisturizes the skin, restoring suppleness and luminosity.
- Correcting imperfections: Injections also help to correct certain imperfections, such as acne scars, and to harmonize the contours of the face.
Contraindications of hyaluronic acid injections
Although hyaluronic acid injections are generally safe and well-tolerated, there are some contraindications to consider:
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding: It is recommended to avoid injections during pregnancy and breastfeeding as a precautionary measure.
- Allergies: People who are allergic to any of the components of hyaluronic acid or the anesthetic used (such as lidocaine) should avoid this treatment.
- Active skin infections: If you have an infection, severe acne, or rash in the area to be treated, it is best to postpone the injection.
- Autoimmune diseases: Patients with certain autoimmune diseases should consult a doctor before proceeding with a hyaluronic acid injection.
Advice before and after hyaluronic acid injection
To optimize results and minimize risks, here are some tips to follow before and after your injections:
- Before injection:
- Avoid certain medications: Anti-inflammatories, aspirin, and blood thinners should be avoided a few days before the injection to reduce the risk of bleeding and bruising.
- Hydrate well: Since hyaluronic acid is a natural moisturizer, drinking plenty of water before the injection can promote optimal results.
- After the injection:
- Avoid physical exertion: For 24 to 48 hours after the injection, it is advisable to avoid strenuous physical activity, excessive heat (sauna, hammam) and exposure to the sun.
- Do not touch the injected area: To prevent infection or displacement of the product, avoid massaging or touching the treated areas.
- Apply cold compresses: If redness or swelling appears, you can apply cold compresses to reduce it.
- Follow the practitioner’s instructions: Dr. Michaël Thanacody and his team will provide you with precise recommendations based on your treatment and skin type.
The durability and frequency of hyaluronic acid injections
One of the most common questions about hyaluronic acid injections is the durability of the results. The effects of the injections can last between 6 months and 18 months, depending on several factors such as the area being treated, the type of hyaluronic acid used, and the patient’s individual metabolism. For example, highly mobile areas of the face, such as the lips, may require more frequent touch-ups, while results on the cheeks or temples may last longer.
Factors Influencing Sustainability
- The type of product used: Some hyaluronic acids are denser or more cross-linked (chemically bonded), making them more durable in areas where a large volume is needed.
- Metabolism: Each person metabolizes hyaluronic acid at a different rate, which affects how long the results last.
- Age and condition of the skin: Younger, well-hydrated skin will tend to retain results better.
How many sessions are necessary?
The first session often offers visible results immediately, but to achieve and maintain the desired appearance, it is advisable to plan regular touch-ups according to your aesthetic goals and the recommendations of Dr. Michaël Thanacody. Follow-up sessions every 6 to 12 months can prolong the effects of the injections while maintaining a natural appearance.
The prices of Hyaluronic Acid injections
The prices of hyaluronic acid injections vary according to several factors. Individual needs influence the amount of product required, while the type of hyaluronic acid chosen can also affect the cost. The expertise of Dr. Michaël Thanacody and the location of the Biolaser center also contribute to the rates. In addition, it is important to consider the costs associated with the initial consultation and any follow-up sessions.
