Whilst looking in the mirror, did you notice that your wrinkles have gotten deeper, your face looks tired and has lost its usual shape? Age, lifestyle, lack of moisture, and sunlight are contributing factors that affect our skin. Thinning skin, the appearance of wrinkles, lowering facial contour, and the change in the oval of the face – these are the first signs of ageing, which, unfortunately, are not pleasant.
These changes can be reduced, and sometimes completely eliminated, by correction of facial contours, volumes and wrinkles with hyaluronic acid injections. This treatment, when injected into a wrinkle, immediately fills it, smoothens and moisturizes the skin, and helps to restore facial contours.
What is hyaluronic acid and its fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body. It gives structure to the tissues and affects the optimal functioning of the biological systems in the human body.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are used in many aesthetic procedures, which are fast, simple, effective and safe. Currently, there are no other fillers that match the hyaluronic acid fillers in terms of their properties and benefits.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are sterile, containing stabilized hyaluronic acid for injection into different layers of the skin.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid injections?
Hyaluronic acid injections:
- reduce the visibility of facial wrinkles;
- provide moisture and brightness to the skin;
- maintain elasticity;
- shape and/or restore facial contours.

How is correction of facial contours, volume and wrinkles performed with hyaluronic acid injections?
First, the future injection site is cleaned with an antiseptic solution, then local anaesthesia is performed – a local anaesthetic is injected into the injection site.
Before the procedure, make sure to inform the doctor if you are allergic to lidocaine or other active substances for pain relief.
After anaesthesia, small amounts of hyaluronic acid filler are injected using a fine needle.
How long does the procedure take?
Correction of facial contours, volumes and wrinkles with hyaluronic acid injections at the Primum Estetica clinic takes 30 – 45 minutes.
If I undergo the correction of facial contours, volumes and wrinkles with hyaluronic acid injections, what care will be required after the procedure?
After the procedure, the injection sites and the skin should be covered with a healing cream recommended by the doctor who performed the procedure.
For the first 24 hours after the procedure, you should also avoid:
- saunas;
- contact with water;
- cosmetic and massage procedures;
- using ordinary cosmetics and make-up.
For 2 weeks after the procedure, it’s advised to avoid direct sunlight and regularly apply protective sunscreen with SPF 30+ and above.
When can I return to my daily activities if I have had facial contouring, volume and wrinkle correction with hyaluronic acid injections?
In most cases, patients tolerate the procedure well and can immediately return to normal daily activities after it.
How long does it take to see the effect after correction of facial contours, volume and wrinkles with injections of hyaluronic acid preparations?
Each person’s organism is individual. How long the effect will be visible depends on:
- age;
- lifestyle;
- skin type, etc.
The effect is visible immediately after the procedure, and the final result is evaluated after 2 weeks.
The results of the procedure last for 8 – 12 months. During this time, the body naturally breaks down the injected hyaluronic acid. Therefore, to continue enjoying the results, it’s recommended to repeat the procedure, otherwise, your skin and facial contours will return to their original appearance after the 8 – 12 month mark has passed.
