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.

Hyaluronic acid fillers are an effective, nonsurgical option for El Paso, TX patients who would like smoother, younger-looking skin and a variety of options are available to meet different aesthetic goals.

Our patients in and around El Paso, TX talk about a number of benefits that they enjoy from HA fillers, including:

• Targeting pesky lines and wrinkles at various locations around the face, neck, and hands
• Achieving plump, glowy skin that feeds on the benefits of HA
• Treatment of damage done to the skin by sun, age, and smoking
• Increase moisture retention, leading to a hydrated, younger-looking appearance

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.

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. 

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.

Do hyaluronic acid fillers hurt?
Some people may experience an uncomfortable sensation when having injections, but nothing too painful to handle. Needles are very thin, and the most common side effect is some temporary swelling and bruising. SkinSational MedSpa does everything in our power to make sure your treatment is as painless and seamless as possible.

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?
Even though many people in El Paso, TX, turn to options like plastic surgery to appear younger, anti-aging injections actually offer a wider range of benefits. For example, cosmetic surgery of any kind always involves long recovery times, while hyaluronic acid fillers have very little or no downtime at all.
