Hyaluronic Acid
(Juvéderm®Ultra and Juvéderm®Voluma, Restylane®, Teosyal®...)
Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body and plays a critical role in retaining moisture in our skin. With age and environmental factors, hyaluronic acid gradually declines, and without enough moisture skin becomes loose, wrinkled and loses volume.
Formulated with next-generation hyaluronic acid, the benefit of these products is that they penetrate deep and evenly into the skin.
Hyaluronic acid is readily absorbed by the body, thus producing no long-term effect, and has a very low incidence of allergic reactions. These products are designed to plump out wrinkles, restoring volume, shape and firmness to skin virtually instantly.
Dermal Filler Injections
Each wrinkle is a visible sign of aging! Today, an alternative to surgery is available in the form of dermal fillers that deliver reliable, natural-looking results exactly where you need it.
The principle is relatively simple: after administering a local anaesthetic, the doctor injects a dermal filler under the skin to plump out hollows and restore lost volume where needed. The injections may cause mild discomfort (a burning sensation or temporary tenderness). Again, it is highly recommended to choose a qualified specialist to perform this procedure, as it requires expert knowledge and skill.
Dr Raspaldo only uses products that have a very good safety profile and an extremely low incidence of allergic reactions (for example, Allergan’s Juvéderm® Ultra and Juvéderm® Voluma, Q-med’s Restylane®, Sanofi Aventis’ Sculptra® and NewFill®, Teoxane's Teosyal® Pure Sense). The choice of product is determined by the area to be treated, skin type and desired results. Results are instantly visible and last for between 6 and 18 months.
