Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally occurring in the skin that helps to provide volume and hydration. Hyaluronic acid injections (Juvederm, Restylane) help reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity and enhance skin rejuvenation.

Filorga or hyaluronic acid injection do wonders by replacing the elasticity and plumping-up the skin hence a more youthful skin.  It is injected under the skin to smooth away facial wrinkles such as "smile lines" (nasolabial folds - lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth) and wrinkles around the mouth. 

Filorga injection typically last for about six months and can also be applied to many treated areas such as smile lines, lips, perioral wrinkles, cheeks, chin, jowls, hands and any area with volume loss. It has immediate results and minimal downtime.  The procedure can last for up to a year.

Patients considering this treatment should avoid aspirin, oral supplements, and other anti-inflammatory medications at least 3-4 days before treatment in order to avoid unusual bleeding or bruising.
