What are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid is a component naturally produced by your body and found in the skin, eyes, and joints. Its primary function is to promote hydration and lubrication in your tissues. Injectable hyaluronic acid fillers can be used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as add volume to different areas of the face and lips, resulting in a more youthful look.

Who is a good candidate for hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable fillers can help add contour and lift to your mid-face. Many patients see a decreased volume of the apples of their cheeks as they age or if they have dropped a significant amount of weight. Some people have naturally thin cheeks and may want treatment to plump their mid-face. Female patients who are pregnant or nursing are not eligible for injectable treatments. HA fillers are generally approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for patients 21 and older. You will complete a consultation to decide which is the best filler for you. After considering your needs and cosmetic goals as well as medical history, a custom treatment plan will be formed.
How are Hyaluronic Acid Fillers used?
Good candidates for hyaluronic acid fillers do not have any present skin conditions or infections in the areas to be treated, are not allergic to any components found in hyaluronic acid fillers, do not have uncontrolled diabetes, and do not have any conditions that cause blood-clotting problems. During your consultation with our team, we will assess your medical history and determine what areas to treat in order to meet your aesthetic goals. All injectable fillers are performed in our El Paso, TX office, and local anesthetic creams are available if necessary.
What Should I Expect After Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
When your hyaluronic acid filler injections are complete, you can resume normal activities. Your recovery will vary based on what you are having treated, so you should ask your injector about what to expect. The treated areas will appear slightly swollen and red, but this often fades away after several days. Bruising may be a factor, but this may be concealed with cosmetics. It's recommended that you avoid strenuous activities like exercise for 1 – 2 days, and you should sleep with your head propped up for the first night. Many patients will notice visible improvements right after the injections, but it may take weeks before the final results develop. Hyaluronic acid filler injections often last 6 months or more, depending on the exact product selected.

Will my results look natural?
Absolutely. Hyaluronic acid fillers create very precise results in the face, and our professionals are highly trained to make sure your new appearance is completely natural and youthful. Since cosmetic injections require no incisions, you won't have to be concerned about looking fake or unnatural.
What about other anti-aging options?
