Hyaluronic acid treatment
Among the many techniques that exist for facial rejuvenation is the use of hyaluronic acid. With it, we can rejuvenate the face and provide it with a natural harmony.
It is an element that is naturally found in all the connective tissue of our body, but that during our aging process, we gradually lose, and this makes us more susceptible to sagging and wrinkles. It plays a fundamental role in the wound healing process and as a treatment for wrinkles. It works as a humectant and retains water molecules on the surface of the skin to keep it pleasant and hydrated, as it can bind up to 1000 times its weight in water.
At Clínica Doctora Mariana Arocha, we offer the application of hyaluronic acid for a variety of facial aesthetic treatments.
Applications of hyaluronic acid
Lip Augmentation:
Lip augmentation with hyaluronic acid dermal filler is a cosmetic procedure that can give you fuller, more hydrated, and defined lips.
Currently, this injectable dermal filler is the most widely used method of lip augmentation. Depending on the patient’s needs, it can be placed on both lips, or fill one part more than another to correct irregularities.
Nasolabial fold:
Also known as marionette lines. It is the fold that forms from the wing of the nose to the corner of the lip.
Hyaluronic acid is the treatment of choice to correct this type of wrinkle, as it restores lost volume and softens the appearance of wrinkles, providing noticeable and natural results.
Chin and cheekbone filling and jawline definition:
With hyaluronic acid we can restore lost volume, helping us to redefine the jawline, harmonizing the profile, softening the skin, and helping to mark the lost features caused by aging.
The chin is one of the central pillars of the face; however, it is not recommended to treat it in isolation, but in conjunction with the jawline. For example, by filling the chin and defining the jawline, we can conceal the double chin.
Dark circles:
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a common method to reduce the appearance of bags under the eyes.
Fillers are widely available and can help address volume deficiency under the eyes by directly filling the ligaments around the eyes and creating a less hollow appearance. Their main function is to reduce the appearance of shadows under the eye and contour irregularities.
Choosing fillers is an easy option to reduce bags under the eyes, as it is a simple procedure that can be reversed if necessary.
Barcode:
This is what we call those small vertical wrinkles that form on the upper lip. They are a little more common in smoking patients. With hyaluronic acid, we can restore elasticity to the area, so that the skin is smoothed and these folds or wrinkles are eliminated.

Frequently asked questions hyaluronic acid application
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our skin that attracts and retains water, providing volume and elasticity. In aesthetic medicine, it is used to fill wrinkles, redefine facial volumes (cheekbones, lips) and improve skin hydration and luminosity.
How is the hyaluronic acid treatment performed?
The product is injected using very fine needles or cannulas, after applying topical or local anesthesia. The session usually lasts between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the area and the amount of product.
Is hyaluronic acid treatment an irreversible procedure?
No. With the introduction of enzymes that degrade hyaluronic acid (hyaluronidase), fillers can be reversed if they produce unwanted results.
Can I go about my daily life after undergoing these hyaluronic acid treatments?
Yes. However, certain considerations must be taken for the four hours following the application, suggesting avoiding physical exercise, sun exposure, excessive heat, alcohol consumption, among others. Once this time has elapsed, the patient can continue with their usual activities.
From what age can I perform these treatments?
From the age of eighteen, these hyaluronic acid treatments can be started, since there are people who gesticulate in a particular way and their dynamic wrinkles appear at an early age.
Does the treatment hurt?
Most commercial hyaluronic acid includes anesthetic (lidocaine), which minimizes pain. The sensation is of an intermittent “pinch”. After the session there may be slight discomfort or tightness that disappears in 24–48 h.
What are the possible side effects of hyaluronic acid?
The most frequent are inflammation, redness, bruising or slight pain at the injection site. They usually resolve in a few days. Serious allergic reactions are exceptional.
