HA Fillers
What are HA Fillers?
HA fillers, or hyaluronic acid fillers, are injectable substances used to restore volume and fullness to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the body, which helps to hydrate and plump the skin. HA fillers are commonly used to address facial wrinkles, lines, and folds, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth), marionette lines (lines around the mouth), and lip augmentation.
They can also be used to enhance cheekbones, define the jawline, and improve the appearance of under-eye hollows.
How a HA Filler procedure performed?
HA filler injections are a minimally invasive procedure that can be performed in a doctor's office. The area to be treated is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to numb the skin. The filler is injected into the target area using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes less than an hour, depending on the number of treatment areas.
Who is a candidate for this procedure?
Ideal candidates for HA fillers are individuals who have moderate to severe facial wrinkles or volume loss. They should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. Patients with allergies to hyaluronic acid or other fillers should not undergo this treatment.
How long is the procedure?
The duration of an HA filler procedure typically ranges from 30 to 60 minutes.
What is the recovery like?
Recovery from HA fillers is minimal. You may experience some redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. It's important to avoid strenuous activity and excessive sun exposure for a short period after the treatment.

Common risks include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and mild pain at the injection site. In rare cases, complications such as infection, lumps, or asymmetry may occur. Since HA fillers are reversible, any unwanted results can be corrected with an enzyme injection that dissolves the filler.
