FAQ
Hyaluronic acid is the supporting structure of our connective tissues: its job is to keep the skin hydrated, elastic and firm. However, we know that with advancing age, its concentration in the body decreases.
We notice this because skin tissues begin to sag, and the skin gradually loses its elasticity and radiance. The first signs of ageing appear on the face: wrinkles form, the eye contour becomes duller and wrinkled.
Instead of resorting to surgery and invasive treatments, we can reactivate the skin's natural beauty through hyaluronic acid injections.
This regenerate the components of the dermis structure, visibly improving its hydration and elasticity, with natural and long-lasting results.
No, our hyaluronic acid is obtained through a bacterial biofermentation process with no risk of contamination by antigenic proteins and residual solvents.
The result is an ultra-pure molecule of superior quality, biocompatible and resorbable, with reduced allergenic risk, to ensure a natural and long-lasting anti-ageing effect.
Hyaluronic acid injections are performed with very fine needles, so the pain perceived is completely tolerable.
If necessary, the doctor can apply an anaesthetic cream to the area to further reduce discomfort during treatment.
Like any other percutaneous injection, hyaluronic acid injections may cause side effects, which are generally minor and resolve within a few days.
Some of the most common side effects include:
- inflammatory reactions (redness, oedema, etc.), sometimes associated with itching and slight pain to the touch
- haematomas
- discolouration of the skin at the injection site
These reactions are common to all injection treatments and are easily counteracted with a cream prescribed by a doctor.
Results are visible immediately after the treatment.
After a single session, the effects of the treatment generally last between 6 and 9 months. This variability depends on the type of product injected and the individual reaction.
