Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers used to restore volume and definition where the face has flattened with age — cheeks, chin, jawline and the folds running from nose to mouth — and to soften static wrinkles. Ars Estetica works with established premium gels such as Juvederm Voluma and Volux, chosen to suit the area being treated. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if an adjustment is ever needed, which is a key safety feature of this material.

Dermal fillers use cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel to replace volume that is gradually lost from the cheeks, temples, chin and jawline with age, and to smooth deeper static folds. Because that volume loss is associated with sagging and deepening creases, restoring it in the right places often does more for a refreshed appearance than treating individual lines alone. At Ars Estetica a doctor assesses the face and recommends a product and volume — from softening a single fold up to fuller facial contouring across more than one session. Numbing cream is applied first and most fillers also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area; results are visible immediately and continue to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises are normal for a few days. Hyaluronic acid results are commonly associated with a duration of around nine to eighteen months depending on the product and area before the gel is naturally broken down by the body. A practical advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which allows a result to be reversed or adjusted. Fillers are suited to adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, a less defined jaw or chin, or deepening nasolabial and marionette folds; suitability is confirmed by the doctor at consultation.
