What does hyaluronic acid injections involve and what are they used for?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in our bodies, responsible for maintaining the skin’s hydration, elasticity, and volume. Over time, its production decreases, leading to loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles, and changes in facial structure.
The application of Hyaluronic Acid allows:
- Restore lost volume in areas of the face.
- Reshape and harmonize the facial form.
- Deeply hydrates, improving skin texture and radiance.
Most common application areas
- Lips (augmentation and definition).
- Nose (rhinoplasty)
- Dark circles (reduction of wrinkles and tired appearance).
- Cheekbones.
- Jaw and chin (definition of the facial contour).
- Nasolabial folds (lines that run from the nose to the mouth).
Why choose Hyaluronic Acid?
- It is a safe, effective and resorbable treatment.
- It has biocompatible characteristics, so the body assimilates it naturally.
- It does not remain in the body for life, avoiding deforming the features or generating irreversible changes.
- It allows for immediate and very natural results.
At Capilo, our doctors use the highest quality products, all registered with Invima, and advanced techniques to achieve a harmonious, natural, and safe result, tailored to each patient’s unique physiognomy.
