Before and after of woman receiving hyaluronic acid facial filler

Having your first facial filler treatment might seem intimidating, and we at CEENTA are here to help. Here are some FAQs about Hyaluronic Acid fillers to help you choose.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Naturally made in your body, hyaluronic acid is a sugar most commonly found in your skin, joints, and eye fluid. This compound is in part responsible for your skin’s firmness. It diminishes over time which leads to wrinkles and facial lines. Hyaluronic acid is also dissolvable. It can be turned to water with a reversing agent. This makes hyaluronic acid fillers ideal especially for a first treatment as your desired result can be fine-tuned and altered as you wish.

How is hyaluronic acid used?

Hyaluronic acid has many cosmetic and health uses. As a tablet, the compound has been used to treat joint pain and aid in skin hydration. Topically as a lotion or foam, hyaluronic acid is an ingredient in skin care used for hydration. When hyaluronic acid is used in fillers, it fills empty spaces in our tissue which improves the contours of the tissue. It is also known to stimulate collagen production in human skin.

What are hyaluronic acid fillers?

Fillers made with hyaluronic acid are clear, smooth gels that are placed into your tissues with either a needle or a cannula, a straw-like instrument with a dulled tip. There are many different brands of fillers which serve different purposes in different parts of the body. While a cheekbone might be best treated with a firm filler that holds together and is cohesive, the lips look more natural with a thinner, softer, more spreadable version.

How long do hyaluronic acid fillers last?

Depending on the type of filler you and your provider choose and the area of the face that is injected, hyaluronic acid fillers last from six months up to two years. In the lips, which take thinner product and have significant movement, it usually lasts 4-6 months. Once you have had an adequate amount of filler for your goals, your result can be stable for as long as 5 years.

What are the benefits of Revance hyaluronic acid fillers?

Compared to other fillers, hyaluronic acid fillers like Revance offer their own unique benefits. It is more similar to our natural human hyaluronic acid than any other fillers. As the only filler FDA approved for facial animation or movement, Revance fillers are made with a minimal amount of cross-linking, which could minimize the risk of adverse reactions.
