About the Procedure:
Hyaluronic acid is a highly effective non-surgical treatment to combat the signs of aging, improve skin hydration and restore lost volume in specific areas of the face. This procedure consists of the injection of a biocompatible gel that adapts naturally to your skin, offering immediate and natural-looking results.
It is ideal to fill wrinkles, expression lines, increase the volume of lips, cheekbones or redefine facial contours. In addition, hyaluronic acid stimulates the production of collagen, improving the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
