Fillers are used in contouring of the lips, cheekbones, nose, and other areas of the face. Before being supplied to the global market, these fillers undergo independent testing and certification. The Prisma Medical Center in Podil uses high-quality products (face fillers) that have proven themselves in Europe and the United States.
Advantages of the method:
- facial contouring without surgery or anesthesia;
- instant results;
- no long rehabilitation period.
What problems does contour plastic solve
Injections of hyaluronic acid-based filler are effective for:
- With the lowest density, they are used to moisturize and rejuvenate the skin;
- More dense – to remove wrinkles, creases;
- Correction of lip shape or filling their volume with fillers;
- Modeling the contours of the face oval;
- Correction of the nose, chin, cheekbones, and temple area.
How filler injections work
Hyaluronic acid-based preparations are gels of varying densities that are injected into specific areas to restore lost tissue volume. In addition, hyaluronic acid moisturizes and nourishes surrounding cells, maintaining healthy skin even after the preparation has been completely absorbed. Our skin has its own hyaluronic acid, which is responsible for water balance and cell regeneration. With age, the amount of this component decrease – for this reason the skin becomes dry, the volume of facial tissues decrease, and wrinkles are formed.
Injections of fillers into the lips and other areas of the face compensate for the lack of hyaluronic acid that occurs with age. The introduction of such preparations under the skin allows you to correct age-related changes without pain or harm to health.
Fillers come in different densities:
- With the lowest density, they are used to moisturize and rejuvenate the skin;
- More dense – to remove creases, wrinkles, lip augmentation;
- Medium-density gels are used to correct the cheekbones, nose, and facial contours;
- The most dense ones are used to model contours.
Also, preparations differ in the rate of biodegradation – the denser the gel, the longer its effect.
How is the contouring procedure performed at “Prizma”?
All injection procedures for the face are performed on an outpatient basis. The effect of injecting fillers into the lips, cheekbones, or other areas of the face is noticeable after the first session. During the consultation, a cosmetologist at the Prizma Medical Center conducts a detailed interview, determines the extent of the necessary corrections, and explains the stages of the procedure.
The first step is skin cleansing and application of anesthetic cream. Then the dermatologist proceeds directly to the introduction of injection according to the treatment plan. The contouring procedure may take from 15 to 40 minutes depending on the treated area.
The results are noticeable almost immediately, but a sustainable effect can be assessed after 5-7 days. Changes after the introduction of fillers will be visible from 4 to 18 months, then the gel is eliminated from the body and the procedure can be repeated.
After the injection contouring procedure, swelling and redness of the skin may be observed at the injection sites, which disappear within 1-2 days. There is no rehabilitation period as such. It is necessary to limit physical activity, the use of cosmetics, as well as visits to the pool, solarium, and sauna. Your cosmetologist will tell you more about the rules for care after injections during an in-person consultation.
