Hyaluronic acid

Face — folds, cheekbones, jawline

Over the years, the loss is not only in the skin: deep volumes shrink, and the face hollows before it sags. Hyaluronic acid puts support back where it has been lost — cheekbones, nasolabial folds, jawline. The examination determines which areas to treat, and in what order.

Duration

How it goes

  1. The initial consultation

    Examination, discussion of your request, screening for contraindications and a written plan. No procedure is carried out on the day of the first consultation: the time to think it over is yours.

  2. The session

    Make-up removal, disinfection and a numbing cream. Injection is by fine needle or cannula depending on the area, in small controlled amounts, sitting you up regularly to judge the effect.

  3. The following days

    Swelling and small bruises are common for a few days. Sport, saunas, hammams and sun exposure are best avoided for 48 hours. A check-up is offered at fifteen days, once the product has settled.

Before / after results

Frequently asked questions

Is it painful?

A numbing cream is applied beforehand and most products contain a local anaesthetic. The sensation is most often described as pressure, sometimes a brief sting.

Are there contraindications?

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, an active skin infection, some autoimmune conditions and certain medications are among them. They are checked in consultation, not ticked on a form — and they can lead to a refusal.

What result can I expect?

No result can be guaranteed: it depends on your skin, your age, your lifestyle and the indication retained. What can be stated is what the procedure aims at and what it does not do. The rest is discussed in consultation, in front of your face rather than a photograph.
