The main component that helps us stop skin aging and the damage caused to it is hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in living organisms, mainly in skin cells. It has unique qualities that allow it to retain moisture and nourish the skin, making it a popular ingredient in the cosmetics industry. In addition to its ability to retain moisture, hyaluronic acid can also fill wrinkles and blur existing facial wrinkles, or contour and add volume to various areas we want to emphasize. When wrinkles are filled with hyaluronic acid, moisture is actually streamed to the skin in a personalized manner that helps fill the wrinkles efficiently and lastingly. The result is a fresher and younger look for the facial skin.
In the past, hyaluronic acid was mainly used through injections or other treatments that required isolation and filtration of the substance from the organism. However, with technological advancements, cosmetic ingredients containing hyaluronic acid in various forms have been created, which can be used at home and promise results similar to professional treatments. These products can be serums, creams, or masks containing hyaluronic acid at personalized levels, allowing for easy and convenient improvement of skin appearance.
To achieve the best results and prevent side effects, it is important to take safety measures such as cleansing and moisturizing the skin before use and checking personal reactions to the substance. Additionally, it is mandatory to consult with a specialized doctor before using products containing hyaluronic acid, especially if there are known skin problems or different sensitivities.
In our clinic, we use top-quality filling materials containing antioxidants (antioxidants) that help stabilize hyaluronic acid and slow down its degradation process, preserving its results over a long period.
The main treatment areas where hyaluronic acid is used are wrinkles around the mouth and nose (also called nasolabial), and lip shaping and filling. But definitely, it can also be used on the laugh lines, eye sockets, cheeks, center, neck, and hands.
Today, there are five main techniques for injecting wrinkle fillers using hyaluronic acid:
- Serial Puncture – repeated injection of equal amounts every few millimeters.
- Linear Threading/Retrograde – insertion of a needle by the doctor at a 30-degree angle and a depth of about 10 mm, and the introduction of the material parallel to the needle’s exit.
- Cross Hatching – creating a grid in the shape of two and evening by the doctor by injecting the material.
- Fan technique – entry into the wrinkle from a certain point without removing the needle and injecting the material from different angles.
- Sandwich Technique – In this method, the doctor injects different layers of hyaluronic acid into different layers of the skin.
He injects a thicker filling material into the deeper layers of the skin to fill the missing volume and then a thinner filling material into the upper layers of the skin to fill the wrinkle. This method is usually used when dealing with deep wrinkles.
In general, injections have mild transient side effects within a few days and hours, including redness, swelling, local pain, and bleeding.
In conclusion, the use of hyaluronic acid has become a leading trend in the field of cosmetics and skincare. Its ability to retain moisture, fill wrinkles, and improve skin appearance makes it an effective tool in the facial rejuvenation process.
It is important to remember that in our clinic, every treatment is performed only after an introductory meeting, a thorough examination, explanation, and recommendations for treatment options available to patients. The treatment will be performed by Dr. Yitzhak Dano himself, in a professional atmosphere and with the advanced equipment at our disposal.
