FAQs
What is Hyaluronic Acid (HA)?
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. In dermal fillers, synthetic HA is used to add volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
How do HA dermal fillers work?
HA fillers work by attracting and retaining water molecules, adding volume to the treated area. This helps smooth wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and restore a more youthful appearance.
How long do the results of HA fillers last?
The duration of results varies among individuals and the specific filler used. On average, HA fillers can last six months to two years. Regular touch-ups may be needed to maintain results.
Are HA fillers reversable?
Yes, most HA fillers are reversible using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This enzyme can be injected into the treated site to dissolve the HA filler if necessary.
Who can perform HA filler injections?
Only licensed and trained healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants), should administer HA fillers. Proper training and certification are essential.
