Explanations
The hyaluronic acid injection procedure
During the first appointment, a personalized diagnosis is established by your physician. An anesthetic cream can be applied one hour before the treatment, depending on your level of sensitivity.
Details of the procedure
A hyaluronic acid injection session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your personalized treatment plan.
Before the session, your aesthetic doctor will take pictures of your face to better appreciate the treatment to be carried out and, later on, the results. Then he uses a pencil to mark marks for injection.
After disinfecting the face, he injects the hyaluronic acid using a fine needle or micro-cannula into the areas defined with the patient. The hyaluronic acids used at Laclinic contain anaesthetic products, so pain during injection is minimal.
The quantity of product required, and therefore the number of syringes, varies according to a number of parameters which will have been detailed during the consultation. During your consultation, your doctor will perform an analysis to offer you a personalized treatment. This is an essential dynamic process that enables the patient to fully understand the proposed treatment and to express any comments he or she may have. The aim is to define the treatment plan together, in complete transparency. When several areas are treated in a single session, results are more visible, rejuvenation is more global and the face is more harmonious.
The art of your aesthetic doctor at Laclinic lies in his expertise in analyzing your face in order to propose appropriate, harmonious and reasonable corrections for a refreshed and natural result.
Laclinic’s doctors are trained by the world’s best, and undergo regular training to perfect their skills. They are fully conversant with anatomy and the products and techniques available to them. This guarantees the highest level of safety.
A precise and soft gesture allows to minimize the traumatisms on the skin. After the injection, your physician will massage the treated areas to optimize the uniformity of the correction. The patient goes home as soon as the session is over.
Aftermath
For a few days it’s best to avoid taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs, and to avoid the sun in case of haematomas. We also recommend avoiding heavy pressure on the injected areas.
The immediate post-treatment period may be marked by the appearance of edema (swelling) and redness of the skin, the extent and duration of which vary greatly depending on the product and the patient. In any case, these effects usually remain moderate and do not prevent a rapid return to a normal socio-professional life.
On the lips, however, the swelling is often more pronounced and may last a few extra days.
It should be noted that in the first few days, there may be some temporary irregularities due to the inhomogeneous distribution of the edema, or a hypercorrection appearance (in relief) which will rapidly disappear.
Results
A period of a few days is necessary to assess the final result . This is the time needed for the product to be well integrated, for the edema to disappear and for the tissues to regain all their flexibility.
Thanks to the injections, little defects will disappear. The aged and tired aspect of the face is rectified in a discreet and natural way.
Patient satisfaction with hylauronic acid injections is usually very high.
If you wish, your doctor will offer you a follow-up consultation 15 days after treatment, and will be able to carry out minor touch-ups to perfect the result.
Hyaluronic acid is a resorbable product. It therefore ensures that the result holds up on average and in the long term. 8 to 12 months, depending on areas treated and skin type.. To maintain the benefits of hyaluronic acid treatment, maintenance injections should be carried out once or twice a year, depending on your situation. You will be advised on the overall treatment plan and frequency of injections during your initial consultation..
In this way, you maximize the long-lasting beneficial effects of the treatment on your skin and on the support and volume of your face.
The purpose of these injections is to bring about an improvement and not to achieve perfection. If your wishes are realistic, you should be completely satisfied with the result.
