The treatment session begins with the hygienization of the skin. Next, an anesthetic ointment is used to relieve the discomfort caused by the contact of the needle with the skin. After the first stage, the application of hyaluronic acid is started by injecting it into the skin. Depth measures are used according to the need for treatment. The substance applied promotes the elevation of the treated area, giving the skin the ideal volume. The session is usually performed only once. As it is an absorbable filler, its average duration is 9 to 12 months. Periodic applications can be done depending on the case and the specialist's evaluation. - After-treatment / results
