Because it is similar to your naturally-occurring hyaluronan, there is no need to have
a skin test before treatment. Hylaform viscoelastic gel "fills" and smoothes facial lines
Having a Hylaform gel treatment is not like cosmetic surgery or laser resurfacing. The
procedure is quick and simple; a treatment may take as little as 30 minutes.
With Hylaform gel, the results are immediate and there is little or no recovery time.
Many patients report that the treatment is quite comfortable. Others notice some
discomfort during treatment which ordinarily quickly resolves.
Hylaform gel is introduced just under the skin's surface through a very fine needle. It is
injected at intervals along the line until the right amount of correction has been
achieved. the treated area is then massaged gently to smooth the surface. Hylaform
gel can be used to "fill" and smooth out smile lines, crows' feet, frown lines, worry
lines, acne scars, small lines around the lips and some other facial lines. Hylaform gel
can also be used to treat the border of the lips. This can add definition to the lip border
for those who desire a fuller look.
Because Hylaform gel is similar to the components of your own skin, it will gradually
break down and be naturally absorbed by your body.
Even if you have sensitive skin, or have had a reaction to a treatment with a different
skin product, you may still be able to be treated with Hylaform gel. |
