How Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen Boosting Injections Combat Aging
Fillers are a popular and effective treatment to combat the visible signs of aging and create a younger, fresher appearance . At Dr. Katrien Lagey in Nieuwenrode, we offer several types of fillers, including hyaluronic acid and collagen stimulating injections, each with unique benefits.
Hyaluronic acid or volumizing filler
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin that retains moisture and adds volume. As we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in our skin decreases, leading to wrinkles, lines and a loss of volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers, available in different concentrations, can be used to:
To fill in superficial to deep wrinkles
Restore lost volume in the face
To hydrate the skin and make it look younger
The results of a treatment with hyaluronic acid fillers are immediately visible and can provide a fuller and younger looking face for about a year .
Collagen stimulating filler
Collagen stimulating fillers work in a slightly different way. This gel matrix is injected and disappears after about 3 months. During this process, it stimulates the natural collagen production in the skin. Collagen is a protein that keeps the skin firm and elastic. Collagen stimulating fillers are extremely suitable for:
Treating deep wrinkles
Building volume in the face
Accentuating and lifting certain facial features
The treatment is performed during the consultation, the results of this treatment remain visible for approximately 12 months or longer .
Liquid facelift
For those looking for a non-surgical solution to a younger appearance, the liquid facelift is an excellent choice. This is a combination of fillers and muscle relaxants (such as Botox) in one treatment. This reduces lines and grooves and lifts sagging skin. Although there may be more swelling after a liquid facelift because larger areas are treated, the results are immediately visible and look very natural.
