NON-SURGICAL REMOVAL OF WRINKLES
.......................................................................................................................................................................................................
For a long time people were looking for a substance that would help them preserve young and beautiful appearance. When the processes responsible for aging were scientifically examined, hyaluronic acid revolutionized esthetic medicine.
Hyaluronic acid is a compound naturally existing in the human organism. One of its basic functions is the ability to bind water that is responsible for sustaining appropriate moisturization of the tissues. Unfortunately, as we grow old and are exposed to the sun, the level of hyaluronic acid in our skin diminishes. Collagen fibers lose elasticity and their number decreases.
As a result, the skin loses elasticity and wrinkles appear. The skin becomes dry, flabby and lips and cheeks lose their volume.
However, we can prevent their formation. Excellent effects are gained after, among others, use of natural products, the composition of which is in over 99% identical with natural hyaluronic acid.
Preparations containing hyaluronic acid injected into the dermis effectively supplement its deficiencies, moisturize the skin, fill in wrinkles, add volume, model lips, improve face contours, enhance natural processes of skin regeneration, due to which even after the preparation has been absorbed the skin looks better than before the procedure.

COURSE OF A HYALURONIC ACID PROCEDURE
Every hyaluronic acid treatment procedure is preceded with medical consultation. The procedure is painless as topical anesthesia is applied or hyaluronic acid preparations with additional lidocain, an anesthetic, are used. Usually the procedure takes up to 30 minutes. Effects can be seen immediately in the mirror. Due to its elasticity and water binding ability after injection the preparation fills and naturally smoothens wrinkles. Virtually right after the procedure the patient can see the effects and resume his or her everyday duties.

EFFECTS OF HYALURONIC ACID TREATMENT
Effects of the treatment are immediate, however, they are not permanent. Duration of the effect is individual and it depends on age, skin type or the patient’s lifestyle, among others. The treatment is frequently repeated after six to twelve months since wrinkle smoothing. Hyaluronic acid wrinkle smoothing is very effective, however, the treatment is not performed once and for all. Hyaluronic acid preparations are degradable and gradually become fully absorbed. Thus the treatment is completely safe.

SAFETY OF THE PROCEDURE
Hyaluronic acid is one of the safest preparations as it is a compound of identical composition both in bacteria Streptococcus, from which it is derived, as well as in the human body.
Hyaluronic acid has been utilized in medicine for a long time. This substance is naturally present in skin. Aside from esthetic effects, it also improves skin hydration, stimulates fibroblasts to produce proteins, which has significance for regeneration of the skin. Safety of the procedure is largely connected with selection of a suitable preparation, application of an appropriate technique by the doctor as well as exclusion of contraindications for the procedure.
Hyaluronic acid used for smoothing wrinkles is a synthetic preparation, which significantly reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
