FACIAL FILLERS

• HYALURONIC ACID

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that helps rejuvenate and improve the visual appearance of our skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers are widely used and demanded in aesthetic medicine. Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that is naturally present since we are born in all the cells of our body, especially in the outermost layers of the skin and in the joints. But with the passage of the years it is disappearing from our organism and it is just at that moment where we need its replacement. Although basically associated with cosmetics, there are many more areas where it is beginning to be used, for example in the field of rehabilitation and traumatology.

Its main functions are based on improving the elasticity of the skin, the hydration of the tissues in the area of the epidermis and the construction of hard tissues such as joints and cartilages, hence its association with the field of rehabilitation. But depending on the use that is given to this substance will get a type of result.

• CALCIUM HYDROXYAPATITE

Facial filling with calcium hydroxyapatite is characterized by being a natural substance that rejuvenates and improves the visual appearance of our skin. Being a product that can be used in any field of aesthetic medicine has become an innovative and effective treatment. Like hyaluronic acid this substance is present in our body from birth, helping to give

elasticity and firmness to our skin, and it also slowly disappears over the years. It is at that moment when we have to re-inject in our body and thus help their recovery. It is currently used as a resorbable substance that is implanted in specific areas of our skin, injecting the compound of synthetic hydroxyapatite calcium microparticles in a safe and minimally invasive manner.

The main functions of this facial filler are to reduce the appearance of expression lines, achieve a younger and healthier appearance, soften and correct skin features, help the body generate a greater amount of collagen and beautify those areas that They have lost their brightness and volume. Being a biodegradable product, it will adapt perfectly to the needs of each patient, providing immediate results in the applied area.

Like the hyaluronic acid fillers, the effects are appreciated immediately and it is our body that is responsible for progressively absorbing the microparticles that are injected. Although a priori they may seem almost identical treatments there are several differences that make calcium hydroxyapatite a more effective filler to hyaluronic acid.

• Production of new collagen: once it is injected into the patient’s face, his organism begins a process of producing new collagen, also improving the growth of the existing one in the injected area.
• Longer duration: results can be visible up to 18 months.
• Volume effect: being a denser compound allows us a greater effect of volume in the areas where it is injected, so it will be more visible and effective than fillings with hyaluronic acid.

The filling technique with calcium hydroxyapatite is characterized by being safe and simple. Our medical team will previously study the face and skin type of patients to know the amount of compound that needs to be injected into the area. Before starting the treatment, a local anesthetic cream will be cleaned and applied in the area to avoid possible discomfort. From the first moment the compound is injected, the volume effect that the area is taking will be seen, always in a natural way and according to the rest of the patient’s face.

Each session usually has a maximum duration between 30-45 minutes. Once the process is finished you can see the first results that will progressively improve over time. The duration of this filling in our body is usually between 14-24 months, being advisable to wait for a period of 3 to 6 months to replenish some other area or enhance the effect of the first procedure.

As we have seen, the calcium hydroxyapatite filling is used not only to gradually improve the appearance and shine of the skin, but also to end the aging process of the face and to be able to return the elasticity and flexibility in a natural and immediate way. Together with hyaluronic acid, it has become one of the best biodegradable fillers in the field of aesthetic medicine. Although there are many areas where they can be applied, it is not valid for our entire face.

• Cheeks and cheeks
• Jaw line
• Nasolabial grooves
• Barcode
• Rhinoplasty without surgery
• Chin
• Eye bags
• Rejuvenation of hands
• Frown lines
