Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide that is found in human skin, playing a vital role in maintaining hydration and elasticity. The use of hyaluronic acid fillers for volume restoration and augmentation is one of the most widely used anti-ageing therapies, as well as an effective treatment for atrophic scars. Due to its safety profile and ease of application, hyaluronic acid has become the preferred choice over other dermal fillers, offering immediate and natural-looking results.

The Procedure
The treatment is performed in-clinic by a specialist plastic surgeon and typically takes 20–30 minutes. Before the injection, a topical anaesthetic cream is applied, while for lip augmentation, an anaesthetic spray or injection may be used. The filler is administered using a fine needle or cannula to the targeted areas. Mild swelling or bruising may occur post-treatment, usually resolving within 2–4 days.
About Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Tear Trough Treatment
Hyaluronic acid can significantly improve the appearance of dark circles in cases where volume loss in the tear trough (under-eye area) is the primary cause. When correctly injected with a specialised filler, the treatment significantly improves the tired appearance of the eyes. Given the anatomy of the tear trough area, the procedure is virtually painless but must be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon. Results are immediately visible and continue to improve over 3–4 weeks, with effects lasting approximately 12 months.
Non-Surgical Nose Reshaping
Hyaluronic acid injections provide a temporary, non-surgical solution for minor nasal imperfections, such as a slight dorsal hump, minor asymmetries or a drooping nasal tip. This is an in-office procedure that takes approximately 15 minutes and is virtually pain free. Mild swelling or redness may appear post-treatment that typically resolve within a few days. Results are immediately visible and last between 6–8 months, allowing patients to return to their normal activities straight away
Pre-Treatment Preparation
To optimise results and minimise adverse effects, the following recommendations apply:
- Avoid alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before the procedure.
- Do not take anti-inflammatory medications or aspirin without medical advice, as these may increase the risk of bruising.
- Inform your doctor of any allergies, medications you are taking, or recent dental work.
Post-Treatment Care
Following hyaluronic acid filler injections, mild irritation, swelling or minor bruising may occur but typically subsides within a few days. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately. Results are instantly noticeable and improve further over the following days as the filler integrates into the surrounding tissue. In some cases, gentle massage of the area may be recommended. The duration of results varies between 6 and 24 months, depending on the treatment area and the type of hyaluronic acid used.

DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?
What You Need to Know
Can the treatment be combined with other aesthetic procedures?
Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be safely combined with Botox, mesotherapy, or laser treatments for a more comprehensive aesthetic outcome.
Is the result permanent?
No, hyaluronic acid is a biodegradable substance. The results typically last between 6 and 24 months, depending on the product used and the treatment area. Regular maintenance sessions help sustain the results over time.
Which hyaluronic acid filler brands are considered the best?
Patients should always get adequate information about the exact products that are used by the practitioner in order to ensure quality and safety. Leading brands such as Juvéderm®, Teosyal®, and Restylane® have been extensively studied and are acknowledged for their high quality standards.
Is the treatment painful?
In most treatment areas, the procedure causes minimal discomfort. Additionally, most fillers contain lidocaine to enhance comfort during application. Where necessary, a topical anaesthetic or local injection is used to ensure a virtually painless experience.
Can hyaluronic acid fillers cause facial distortion?
When administered by a trained and experienced practitioner with an eye for facial harmony, hyaluronic acid fillers provide excellent, natural-looking results. Cases of excessive or unnatural outcomes typically result from poor assessment and overuse of the product. These examples are very rare when the procedure is performed by skilled professionals.
Are there any possible side effects or complications?
Hyaluronic acid is highly biocompatible and rarely causes allergic reactions. The most common side effects include mild swelling or bruising, which usually resolve within a few days. More serious complications, such as skin necrosis or unilateral blindness, are exceptionally rare and can be avoided by choosing a qualified plastic surgeon for the procedure.
Who should avoid hyaluronic acid fillers?
Contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain autoimmune diseases, and active skin infections in the treatment area.
How much does the treatment cost?
The cost varies depending on the treatment area, the amount of product required, and the type of filler used. Different fillers are specifically designed for various areas of the face and body. A personalised consultation is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
