How Do Hyaluronic Acid Filler Injections Work?

Are you interested in finding out how hyaluronic acid filler injections work? You’ve come to the right place! Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a powerful skincare ingredient that can improve skin texture, hydration, and elasticity. It can also be used as a dermal filler through injection treatments to plump up areas of the face like the eyebrows, lips, cheeks, and temples. Let’s take a look at how these HA fillers work, what happens during treatment, and how long it takes to see results.

HA is widely used in skincare products due to its ability to retain moisture in the skin and boost elasticity. It is naturally occurring in connective tissues like joints and muscles and is known for its hydrating properties. When applied topically or injected into the skin as a dermal filler, it helps reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging while restoring volume. 

During an injection treatment with HA fillers, your doctor will inject a special formula directly into your facial tissues using a slim needle. The solution contains both HA and lidocaine for added comfort during treatment. Once injected into the area under treatment, the solution begins to immediately provide smoothing effects by filling in wrinkles or creases. The HA component of the formula works to attract water molecules from surrounding tissues which increases volume within the face - creating lasting anti-aging effects without surgery! 

The good news about injection treatments with HA fillers is that results are immediate after having them done! Some people may experience minor swelling or redness shortly after treatment that should subside within 24 hours or so. However, results will likely last anywhere between 9-12 months depending on your body’s natural rate of absorption - meaning you don’t have to worry about coming back for regular touch-ups if you don’t want to!
