Biostimulants

A filling or volumizing agent is made up of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the human body, which helps to hydrate the skin. Over time, however, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin diminishes, causing sagging wrinkles and dryness.

Injecting hyaluronic acid fills in wrinkles, furrows and scars.

It is mainly used to restore lost facial volume, plump lips and improve facial proportions.

Dermal fillers and neuromodulators are both injectable products for the face. However, they do not have the same composition, nor the same function:

• The filling agent compensates for the reduction in our body's natural production of hyaluronic acid. Injecting it will provide volume and a “lift” to the targeted area. It is therefore mainly used on the lower part of the face.

• A neuromodulator is a muscle relaxant that relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines. It is therefore generally used on the upper part of the face. The best-known is botulinum toxin, marketed under the brand name Botox®. Other botulinum toxins are available on the market, and our injection experts can explain the differences and the best choice for you.

Hyaluronic acid injections are available for both men and women, with no age limit. This depends, among other things, on individual needs.

Anyone can benefit from this treatment, provided there are no medical contraindications.

Under the age of 18, parental consent is required.

The duration of the effects varies according to a number of factors, but generally, results are visible for a year.

To maintain the same results, we recommend a touch-up after 6-8 months to avoid starting the treatment from scratch.

The first effects can be seen almost immediately. The results improve with time: after the first week, the result is already visible, and after a month, a beautiful natural effect is obtained.

This treatment is more uncomfortable than painful, the sensation being similar to that of a brief pinch. What's more, most dermal fillers contain lidocaine, which has an anaesthetic effect.

As your well-being is at the heart of our concerns, we use the finest possible needles and proceed gently, listening to you and adopting your rhythm.

This procedure is safe as long as it is performed by a professional. Our team of experts will put their experience, knowledge, dexterity and precision of execution at your service, to guarantee a safe treatment and a natural result.

Good to know: results are reversible thanks to an injectable enzyme.

Prices vary according to the area to be treated, the molecule used and the quantity to be injected.

It's only after we've assessed your face and your needs that we'll be able to draw up a treatment plan and communicate the associated costs to you.

In fact, we can offer you a virtual assessment so you don't have to travel.

This treatment requires no convalescence period.

As soon as the treatment is over, you can go about your business.

However, you may notice slight redness, bruising or swelling at the injection sites for 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Intense physical activity is not recommended during this period.

We're committed to caring for our patients, which is why we recommend a post-treatment follow-up. It's an opportunity to answer any questions you may have, evaluate the results obtained and, if desired, plan the next treatment.

This follow-up can take the form of a virtual consultation, so you don't have to travel.
