Hyaluronic Acid Filler

It is a type of filler made from sugar molecules used in the treatment of sagging, drooping, volume loss, and distorted contours, as well as in the reduction of wrinkles and the alleviation of a tired and sad appearance. It provides a filling effect thanks to its water-retaining properties. Depending on the type of product and the body it is applied to, it lasts between 6 and 24 months.

The fat pads that physically support the skin diminish with age; the suspensory-supporting properties of the ligaments that hold the skin in place decrease; and the bone structure both shrinks and changes shape. As a result, signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging, contour distortion, volume loss, and drooping appear on the skin. At the same time, hyaluronic acid filler, which is a natural element of the skin and is applied by injection, shows its effect thanks to its water-attracting property. With the right structure and amount of hyaluronic acid fillers strategically placed in the correct layers of the face, the fat pads regain their former vitality and plump up to the desired amount. Ligaments (connective tissues that support and hold the skin), another structure as important as fat pads, are also supported, and the bone structure is mimicked to alleviate a tired and sagging appearance.

• Reducing the appearance of tiredness, sadness, and sagging. 
• Restoring facial contours. 
• Treatment of volume loss and sagging areas. 
• Treatment of fine lines and wrinkles. 
• Lip filler: Applied to enhance lip shape, restore volume loss, reduce lines around the mouth, and treat downturned lip corners. After the procedure, the lips should be in harmony with all other elements of the face and look natural. The two most important factors determining the outcome are the natural potential of the untreated lip and the doctor's skill in making subtle adjustments without compromising the existing natural beauty. With lip filler, the lip borders become more defined, and lips that have lost moisture regain volume and hydration. The prominence of the lines around the mouth is reduced. 
• Chin filler: In addition to the structural shortness and tightness of the chin tip, age-related sagging occurs in the chin area. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to treat these conditions. 
• Temple filler: The temples are among the first areas to show signs of aging. With age, as fat tissue and muscle deteriorate, hollows begin to appear in this area of the face, and the contours of the upper face become distorted. Apart from aging, people who lose weight rapidly, marathon runners, and those who train intensively may also experience premature hollowing and depressions in the temples. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used to treat this condition. The upper face becomes more harmonious with the middle and lower face. 
• Midface filler (cheek filler): As we age, the bone structure in our midface flattens and the fat pads in the cheeks diminish. The midface region, which loses the support of bone and fat pads, causes the skin and subcutaneous tissues to slide downward due to gravity, and the cheeks lose their natural contour. This causes shadowing under the eyes, deepening of the nasolabial folds (the groove extending from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth) and marionette lines (the groove extending from the corners of the mouth to the jawline), resulting in a tired and unhappy expression even when we don't feel that way. Hyaluronic acid filler, strategically placed in the cheek area where the patient has experienced loss, instantly lifts the tissues as if with a pad. The correct amount of fullness is achieved, improving the proportions of the face. Fillers applied to the cheek area indirectly reduce the tired and sunken appearance of the under-eye area, soften the appearance of the nasolabial folds, and can also positively affect the jawline.

The areas to be treated are determined based on an expert assessment supported by three-dimensional imaging (Vectra), and hyaluronic acid filler is administered using a cannula or a very fine needle.
