Hylaform® Injections

Hylaform® is a viscoelastic gel made of hyaluronic acid that allows quick, easy and immediate corrections without the need of a skin test. It is injected just under the skin's surface at intervals along the wrinkle until the right amount is achieved.

Details
Procedure: : Hylaform® gel can be used to "fill" and smooth out deep facial furrows, acne scars, and smile lines. It can also be used to enhance the border of the lips for those who desire a fuller look.

Hylaform® naturally dissolves over time, making it an ideal choice for people who don't want a permanent correction.

Length: Hylaform® treatments take less than half an hour, and may require a little local anaesthetic to numb the area.
Recovery: For most people however, a top-up injection is needed every 5-12 months to maintain the desired level of correction.

Results: One treatment may not be enough for particularly deep smile lines, and a second treatment may be required 2 to 4 weeks later.

Side-Effects: Side effects, which are temporary, may include mild redness, itching, swelling and pain. In very rare cases, persistent redness, red spots and bruising may occur.
