Hyaluronic acid filler for lips and more: what to know

“Mirror, servant of my desires, who is the fairest in the realm?” To all the tuned Grimilde who, in this last pandemic year as never before, have X-rayed themselves through computer and mobile phone cameras, real magic mirrors in version reloaded: you are in the right place. Because here and now, with the help of industry experts, we will answer all the questions that mostly whirl in your head about putting in the agenda, why not, a little tweak. Because if there is one thing that has not given way even in lockdown, according to the latest data, it is aesthetic medicine, Dermicium first filler.

HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS: WHAT THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY WORK
“How long do they last?”, “How much do they cost?”, “What result to expect?” and let’s not pretend we haven’t Google “Celebrity Filler Before and After”. But what exactly are we talking about? “The filler is an injectable product at the level of the dermis that has the function of filling or redefining. To date, the authorized fillers are based on hyaluronic acid which is already a natural component of our skin responsible for hydration and turgor », explains Chantal Sciuto, doctor of medicine and surgery, specialist in dermatology. How many types are there? “There are filling ones for wrinkles and nasogenic furrows, i volumizing for lips and cheekbones, i protesici for the chin, the bridge of the nose and the jaw angle, moisturizers to improve the quality of the skin (face, neck, décolleté and back of the hands) ».

In any case, before deciding on the so-called puncture, it is important to familiarize yourself with the various types of dermal fillers available, to find the one that’s right for us. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, as mentioned, faithfully mimic the hyaluronic acid present in nature in our body, they give instant plumping results and dissolve naturally over time. But there are cases where it is best to avoid them. «It is strongly not recommended to administer the filler during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Contraindications can represent allergies, inflammatory states, acute atypical dermatitis, Herpes infection, autoimmune skin diseases and collagenopathies. Instead, if you undergo, you may have some bruising and swelling in the treated area which generally resolves within 24/48 hours. It is also necessary to avoid sporting activities and exposure to sources of heat or cold such as saunas and Turkish baths, at least for two days », explains Dr. Marco Iera, specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery.

THE RESULT IS INSTANT AND NATURAL
The hyaluronic acid fillers have an immediate action: «The results are visible right away and always receive a good level of satisfaction in patients. These fillers, in fact, allow to obtain a completely natural rejuvenated and plumped effect which does not give artificiality to the area of ​​the face or body into which they are injected, but only an aspect of freshness. However, despite being almost immediate, the aesthetic rejuvenation effects of the skin given by the hyaluronic acid filler are not permanent, so much so that after a relatively short period of time (ranging from 4 months to 2 years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated), wrinkles begin to reappear, and the lips (cheekbones or other parts of the face and body treated) gradually lose their volume. This happens because the body is able to metabolize the injected hyaluronic acid (hence the name of resorbable filler). This gradual reabsorption by the skin therefore makes it necessary to periodically repeat injections after the disappearance of the effect. Finally it is important to remember that the effects and results obtained with hyaluronic acid filler injections may differ from individual to individual and depending on lifestyle, diet, smoking, stress, exposure to UV rays », emphasizes Dr. Iera.

Ma, after the pandemic, what has changed? «There is now more attention to the periocular area, for the eyes, the fillers are projected more to retouch this area, to smooth out the micro roughness of the eye contour. But anyway, the mask did not darken the lips who do not lose the primacy to show off a beautiful smile », explains Dr. Sciuto. Google also wonders at what age to consider hyaluronic acid fillers and who to contact. «Better to undergo from the age of majority, unless for some minors there is an express, written and signed consent from both parents if there is a psycho-physical discomfort to correct. Hyaluronic acid filler injections are a non-invasive medical treatment that must be carried out in authorized environments only by medical personnel specialized in this field and who use scientifically tested and high quality products, such as, for example, the new generation hyaluronic acid with Vycross technology “, concludes the expert to whom we also asked the costs . «They are variable and also depend a lot on the quality of the product that the injector doctor uses».

After answering the most frequently asked questions about filler issues, in the gallery we have selected skincare products, from creams to serums, from the eye contour to plumping lipsticks with hyaluronic acid, fundamental component of our body and our beauty. And now, mirror (or video camera) to the two of us!
