Wrinkles and folds treatment with fillers

As we age, our body changes over the years. Everyone will go through this process, whatever genious genes you may have. This process influences our physical activities, how we feel and off course our appearance. Also our face will change as we get older.

Why does our face change over time?

Facial aging is due to changes in several types of the tissues, including skin, underlaying fat, muscles and bones.

Skin

The quality of our skin will change with age. The surface of our skin might become rough and dry. The natural process of cell renewal will slow down. Due to the loss of elastine and moisture (from hyaluronic acid) our skin will become :

• Drier
• Less elastic
• Less supple
• Thinner

There is a significant loss of facial fat and bone with age

The fat in your cheeks will droop, resulting in deepening of the smile lines and the formation of jowls. The neck begins to sag and will develop neck bands.

Your facial bones will become thinner, which will remove the structural support of the overlying tissues. This loss in support contributes to the droopiness and noticeable changes in your tissue and skin.

Your muscles activities and muscle tone will decrease

As a result of all this changes you will get wrinkles and folds, in combination with loss of your facial volume.

How to slow down the facial aging process?

The skin aging can be reduced to a certain degree, by controlling some lifestyle factors, such as:

• No smoking and drinking,
• Avoid exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation,
• Avoid stress,
• Avoid pollution,
• Eat healthy, enough fruit and vegetables,
• Drink enough water.

Possible treatments with fillers

In order to attack the aging process you could apply injections with hyaluronic acid or wrinkle fillers. Fillers with hyaluronic acid can treat following areas:

• Frown lines,
• Nasolabial folds, marionette lines,
• Add volume to your lips,
• Fill the mental crease, lift sagging cheeks,
• Other facial corrections (liquid facelift).

Natural substances (incl. wrinkle fillers or injectables)

Often we remark a lack of hyaluronic acid in the middle layer of the skin. This layer contains apart from collagen also a substance containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid retains moisture, which ensures our hydratation.

Wrinkles can be filled in by injecting hyaluronic acid. As hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body, this product has very few side effects. Your body will dissipate the injected hyaluronic acid over time. This is why the filler injections should be repeated after a certain delay.

How long the results from these injections lasts, depends from person to person. On average the results stays on for 8 to 12 months.

Natural wrinkle treatment by injections of hyaluronic acid

There are different kinds of hyaluronic acid. Depending on the need of the patient we can offer a variety of density.

Different areas of your face can be treated. Depending on the kind of area our doctor will use a different kind of product: e.g. different product for lip augmentation than for the nose to mouth lines.

The product is injected with a very small cannula. As the natural hyaluronic acid is dissoluble, your face will keep a natural expression.
