Hyaluronic acid in nasolabial folds

Hyaluronic acid injections correct the nasolabial folds, wrinkles and marks that are created around the mouth due to gesticulation and age (from the nose to the corners of the mouth). It is a minimally invasive treatment with natural results. Writes Dr. Nélida Grande, Plastic Surgeon and member of Top Doctors.

In addition to smoothing the skin and significantly reducing wrinkles, facial fillers with hyaluronic acid stimulate collagen production, which produces a natural rejuvenating result. It is injected where there is no muscle, under the skin where the wrinkle is. Its additional advantage is that it does not produce allergies, rejections, nor does it require previous tests, since this acid is produced inside our organism in a natural way.

One of the objectives is for the face to look harmonious volumes, avoiding the signs of aging. Another is to restore the skin’s elasticity and turgidity in order to achieve the most attractive and healthy smile. In short, it is a thorough work of facial remodeling, since we are talking about what we show the most to others: our smile and our own gestures.

The results last from 6 to 12 months, although it depends largely on the type of skin and the area to be treated. For nasolabial folds, an additional touch-up is recommended weeks after the first infiltration, in order to optimize the results. Hyaluronic acid, correctly administered, produces a rejuvenating effect on the face without tightening it, no matter how deep the furrows are.

Combination with other treatments

Mesotherapy, Botulinum Toxin, Carboxitherapy or Radiofrequency are aesthetic medicine treatments that can be combined with hyaluronic acid injections -in sessions where the different substances and techniques are alternated- in order to improve facial expression as a whole.
