The effect of hyaluronic injections in the face
Contour plastic surgery with hyaluronic acid is a procedure during which a cosmetologist injects filler under a wrinkle or skin fold and fills the insufficient volume with the drug. This allows you to model your appearance, correct facial asymmetry, smooth out wrinkles, scars, scars, moisturize and rejuvenate the skin.
Hyaluronic facial injections are also popular among women who want to increase the size and volume of their lips.
To prevent pain and discomfort, half an hour before the injections, the cosmetologist applies an anesthetic cream to the affected area.
The result of contouring with hyaluronic acid is noticeable immediately after injection correction, but the final assessment of the result can be made in a couple of days, after the slight swelling in the injection area has subsided.
Expected effect of mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid
The active launch of the processes of restoration and hydration of the skin occurs during mesotherapy sessions, acting from the inside. As a result of the procedure, we observe visible rejuvenation and improvement of complexion: skin elasticity increases, and the oval becomes clearer.
Mesotherapy is rightfully considered the most popular method of rejuvenation of both female and male faces, because the effect of the procedure is amazing. The use of mesotherapy cocktails (several drugs at once) has become quite common, which help cope with a variety of problems with the appearance and health of the skin.
With the help of mesotherapy, it is possible to effectively solve problems to improve the skin of the face, figure and hair. For example, the procedure helps to cope with wrinkles, pigmentation, rosacea, acne, alopecia, seborrhea, cellulite and stretch marks. If there are no pronounced imperfections, mesotherapy can be used for prevention.
During the procedure, the effect occurs not only locally, but also comprehensively: tissue nutrition is stimulated, blood circulation is enhanced, and the skin is vitaminized. The overall appearance becomes more youthful, radiant and toned. Noticeably less fat deposits, orange peel skin and stretch marks.
The following factors influence the result of the procedure:
- the state of the client’s body;
- skin features;
- age-related changes and their degree;
- meso cocktail quality;
- qualification of a doctor or cosmetologist who does mesotherapy.
If therapy is carried out by an experienced specialist, it is possible to eliminate appearance problems that bother the client. When describing the technique, cosmetologists assure of its effectiveness. The procedure helps:
- get rid of shallow wrinkles;
- smooth out old expression wrinkles;
- moisturize the skin;
- overcome dryness;
- reduce the shine of oily skin by regulating the secretion of subcutaneous sebum;
- dissolve acne scars;
- restore elasticity;
- tighten the oval of the face;
- eliminate double chin;
- remove spider veins;
- fight acne;
- improve complexion;
- eliminate scars and scars.
When administering injections with mesococktail, rehabilitation after various surgical operations on the face is accelerated. Grinding or peeling also requires further restoration of the skin, the procedure does an excellent job with this too. A clear difference between photos taken before and after mesotherapy with hyaluronic acid can be seen below.

Hyaluronic acid – how to choose?
When choosing hyaluronic acid, the rule usually works: the more expensive the product, the better it is. Of course, this is a simplified approach, but it can certainly be assumed that more expensive acids have a better purification and cross-linking process.
It is worth explaining that the division of hyaluronic acid into non-cross-linked, slightly cross-linked and highly cross-linked acid is sufficient for choosing a drug. Any other options, for example, HA for the area around the eyes or for filling wrinkles, are a marketing ploy. The doctor chooses the remedy precisely according to the density’s compliance with the goals set.
The drug must be certified because it is a medical item, just like a dental implant, a knee implant, or a breast implant. If there is no certificate, it means it is not hyaluronic acid, but who knows what.
An important indicator of the quality of hyaluronic acid are parameters indicating the degree of its purification, that is, the degree of removal of the cell walls of acid-forming bacteria. This is important because excess elements can cause allergic reactions. Parameters indicating how much bacterial debris remains in the acid should be found in the instructions or on the manufacturers’ website. Preparations can vary in degree of purification by up to ten times. The general rule is to choose drugs with bacterial residue levels below 10 U.
It is important to know how much cross-linking agent is in the preparation. This information is difficult to find, but it can determine the presence of complications. Doctors who practice procedures with hyaluronic acid already know in practice what to expect from a particular brand. For example, a drug may contain up to 9% BDDE, while other acids contain much less of this substance. More chemical products work longer, but using them in very visible areas is risky.
Finally, it should be remembered that since HA, despite its biocompatibility, is a foreign body, therefore not everyone can use it. To avoid complications, you need to choose the right drug, prepare for the procedure and take into account all contraindications and restrictions.
Facial contouring with hyaluronic acid: types and areas of treatment
The popularity of facial contouring is explained by the absence of complications and the immediate effect - rejuvenation and renewal of the face.
Hyaluronic acid injections for the face are performed on the following areas:

Beauty injections into the lips help eliminate wrinkles around the mouth, scars after injuries and surgical interventions, as well as solve the problem of drooping corners and asymmetry of the lips;
- on the nasolabial folds - injections of hyaluronic acid into the face eliminate networks of facial wrinkles and age-related skin creases in the area connecting the wings of the nose and the chin;

- in the periorbital area – smooth out the relief of the skin around the eyes, successfully replacing surgical blepharoplasty;
