Hyaluronic fillers are one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments today. They are gels based on hyaluronic acid that are injected into the skin with fine needles to restore volume, fill in wrinkles, and return a fresher appearance to the face. The treatment is quick, painless, and requires no recovery time, which is why both women and men who want visible results without surgery choose it.
Results are visible immediately after the treatment.
What are hyaluronic fillers and how do they work on the skin
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that our body naturally produces. It is found in the skin, joints, and connective tissue, and its main role is to bind water and keep the skin hydrated, elastic, and firm. With age, the body’s production of hyaluronic acid declines. The skin becomes dry, loses volume, and wrinkles begin to form. Hyaluronic fillers replenish the substance that the skin loses over time.
The fillers used in aesthetic medicine are sterile, biodegradable gels. The body recognizes them as compatible because hyaluronic acid is already naturally present in the body. After a certain period of time, the filler naturally breaks down and is reabsorbed, leaving no residue in the tissue. At DentalVortex, we use fillers from trusted brands: Revanesse, Stylage, and Neauvia.
What hyaluronic fillers are used for
Hyaluronic fillers can treat a large number of areas on the face and body. They are used both for rejuvenation, where the goal is to fill in already-formed wrinkles, and for beautification, where the goal is to shape or accentuate certain facial features.
Lip augmentation and correction
Lip filling with hyaluronic acid is one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments. Fillers are injected into the upper and lower lip to increase volume, define contours, or correct mild asymmetries. The treatment can also be used to remove fine lines above and below the lips. The goal is not a dramatic change, but a natural result that suits the proportions of the face.
Under-eye correction
Dark circles under the eyes are often not the result of fatigue, but rather a loss of volume in the tear trough area. By injecting filler into this zone, the skin is lifted, shadows become less visible, and the eyes look more rested and refreshed.
Nose correction
Hyaluronic acid can correct mild irregularities of the nose without surgical intervention. With precise filler injections, it is possible to conceal a bump on the nasal bridge, lift the tip of the nose, or improve symmetry. The effect is immediate, and the procedure takes only 15 to 20 minutes.
Wrinkle filling and facial rejuvenation
Fillers are used to fill nasolabial folds (wrinkles that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth), forehead wrinkles, wrinkles around the eyes, and in the chin area. In addition to filling, hyaluronic acid also stimulates collagen production, which is why the skin looks firmer and healthier over time. The treatment can also be applied to the neck, décolletage, and hands.
What a hyaluronic filler treatment looks like
The treatment requires no special preparation. It is sufficient that the skin has no active infections or inflammation and that you are motivated for a change. The procedure takes place in several steps:
Skin cleansing
All makeup is removed and the skin is thoroughly prepared for the procedure.
Anesthesia
A topical anesthetic cream is applied, which takes effect in about 15 minutes to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
Filler injection
Performed with fine needles or a cannula (a blunt needle that reduces tissue trauma), precisely into the areas being treated.
The entire treatment lasts between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Results are visible immediately. The final appearance is seen once any swelling subsides, usually after two to three days. The effect of hyaluronic fillers lasts on average from 6 to 12 months, depending on the type of filler, the area treated, and the individual characteristics of the patient. With each subsequent treatment, a slightly smaller amount of filler is needed.
RRS HA Long Lasting treatment
RRS HA Long Lasting is a hybrid preparation that combines the effects of a filler and a biorevitalizer (a treatment that renews the skin from within by stimulating its natural regeneration). It is injected into the skin and works simultaneously on two levels: it fills and restores volume like a filler, while also deeply hydrating and improving skin quality like a biorevitalizer.
The treatment improves skin turgor (firmness and tension), elasticity, and hydration. The effects are visible immediately after the procedure and last up to three months, thanks to the slow biodegradation of hyaluronic acid. RRS HA Long Lasting is a good option when the goal is not the correction of one specific area, but overall refreshing and improvement of skin quality on a broader level. It is recommended for people whose skin looks tired, dull, or dry, not just wrinkled.
Does hyaluronic filler treatment hurt
The treatment is largely painless thanks to the anesthetic cream applied before the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild push or pressure, not pain. After the treatment, you may feel slight sensitivity at the injection site. This is a normal reaction of the body and passes within a few days.
In addition to sensitivity, the following may also occur:
- mild redness at the injection sites
- minor swelling that subsides after two to three days
- bruising, especially in more sensitive areas such as the lips and the area around the eyes
All of the above are temporary occurrences. Serious adverse reactions are extremely rare, especially when the treatment is performed by an experienced physician and high-quality, tested fillers are used.
Tips before and after treatment
A few simple steps can affect how smoothly the treatment goes and how long the effect lasts.
Before treatment:
- Avoid alcohol for at least 48 hours before the procedure
- Do not take aspirin or ibuprofen two weeks before the treatment (risk of bruising)
- Come without makeup or with minimal makeup
After treatment:
- Do not apply makeup or get your face wet for at least 12 hours
- Avoid saunas, tanning beds, and direct sun exposure until the swelling subsides
- Do not touch the treated areas with your hands for at least 24 hours
- Avoid intense physical activity on the first day
The effect of the fillers lasts longer when attention is paid to hydration. Drink enough water daily, as hyaluronic acid retains water and in this way maintains volume.
Who hyaluronic fillers are for, and who they are not for
Hyaluronic fillers are suitable for women and men who want to fill in wrinkles, restore facial volume, or correct certain areas without surgical intervention. There is no strict age limit. The treatment can be recommended at the appearance of the first wrinkles, as it is easier to correct wrinkles in their early stages than to wait for them to deepen.
The treatment is not suitable for people who are or have:
- pregnant or breastfeeding
- autoimmune diseases
- blood clotting disorders
- endocrine diseases
- cardiovascular or renal insufficiency
- acute infectious conditions or active skin inflammation
- malignant diseases
- a known allergy or intolerance to the ingredients of the preparation
If you are not sure whether you are a good candidate for the treatment, it is best to schedule a consultation. During the examination, the physician assesses your condition and together you determine whether the treatment is appropriate and which approach would produce the best results.
