Aging of the skin occurs as a result of skin examination and loss of elasticity, which occurs as a result of the decrease in collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin in the skin over time. External factors such as sun exposure and smoking also contribute to this process.
Since we use our mimic muscles a lot, especially in the upper part of the face, muscle contraction has a great effect on the formation of wrinkles in this area. Loss of volume in the wrinkles formed in the middle and lower parts of our face and looseness in the tissues are in the foreground with the effect of gravity to a large extent. Apart from the factors mentioned above, the decrease in fat tissue and fat pads on our face and bone resorption in our bones over time also have a great effect on the formation of volume loss. Fillers are widely used to complete the deficiencies due to tissue loss in this area and to remove and reduce wrinkles. It is possible to classify fillers roughly in three groups as temporary, semi-permanent and permanent. After the application, temporary products stay on average for 6-12 months, semi-permanent products stay for 1-2 years, and permanent products stay for 2 years or more. In filling applications, temporary fillings and semi-permanent fillings are the most common ones because they are safe.
HA is a substance normally found in our skin, providing structural support and nutrition to the skin, and giving volume and fullness thanks to its water retention feature. Commercially produced HA has different forms depending on the area to be applied in patients and for what purpose it will be used. In addition, there are forms with anesthetic substances in order to cause less pain during the application in patients. HA disappears after an average of 6-12 months after application. Since HA is a substance normally found in our body, allergic reactions develop very rarely.
In semi-permanent products, there is Calcium Hydroxy Apetite (KHA) filling. In these fillers, KHA crystals are contained in a gel. The gel part is absorbed in about 3 months and collagen production is stimulated by the person's own tissue cells. taste. The feature of this filling is that it provides volume and structural support especially in deep tissues and is generally used for this purpose. Its permanence is between 1-2 years and it is among the fillings that can be used safely. In addition, this filler can be used by mixing with anesthetic agents to reduce pain.

Considerations to be considered after application
1- On the day of treatment, do not massage the treatment area, do not rub that area (especially when removing make-up), avoid lying on your face and applying heat.
2- Avoid alcohol consumption, exercise, sauna and hot shower, which may cause flushing on the day of the treatment.
3-After the treatment, it is expected that redness and swelling will occur on the skin in the application area. It is a condition and is expected to pass in a few days. Please contact your doctor if there is a pause that lasts longer than 3 days.
4-Your doctor will call you for a check-up within 1-2 weeks, and additional doses may be required during this check.
We can divide the unwanted situations after the filler application into two as the injection and the wrinkle treatment itself.
DEFECTED TO THE INJECTION
Pain
Although very thin needles are used, mild It can be a pain.
Bruise and Edema (Swelling)
It occurs due to subcutaneous bleeding at the injection site and usually resolves within 1 week.
Redness
It usually happens in every application and goes away by itself in a few hours.
DEFECTED TO THE FILLER
Asymmetry
It may occur due to edema or dose inequality after the application. � The inequality caused by the disease will go away by itself in a few days. Inequalities depending on the amount of dose administered can be compensated by additional dose administration in deficient patients and with dissolution treatment in excess. In this case, additional treatment methods are applied.
Subcutaneous Stiffnesses and Masses
Depending on the sensitivity of the people who are applied, fillers may cause stiffness under the tissue in the early or late period, although it is rare. In this case, additional treatment methods are applied.
Apart from these, serious conditions such as tissue loss and blindness that may develop due to the vascular-nerve anatomy in the application areas are reported in the medical literature. Your doctor will share detailed information about these conditions and the risks specific to the application areas.
Who Should Not Have Filling Application
Pregnancy-suspicious pregnancy and breastfeeding women
Those with active infection in the area to be treated (Herpes, acne, soft tissue infection, etc.)
Those with wound healing disorders
In patients with bleeding disorders
In patients with skin disease in the treatment area (psoriasis, eczema, etc.)
People with uncontrolled systemic disease (high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure, etc.)
People with unrealistic expectations or body image disorders
Very severe allergy
If you have a medication or a disease other than the above-mentioned conditions, please inform your doctor. Your doctor will give you detailed information about whether there is an obstacle or not.
