Hyaluronic Acid

How do the injections work?

Hyaluronic acid is a component produced physiologically in our body. This molecule prevents the appearance of the effects of skin aging such as wrinkles and also helps to rehydrate the skin. It helps to restore radiance to a dull complexion and acts as a firming agent. As we age, we lose our ability to produce it naturally.

Treatment with hyaluronic acid can be considered in two different ways:

Injecting the hyaluronic acid into the superficial dermis helps maintain a good level of hydration.
Injected into the deep dermis, it replaces the fat lost with age and restores volume.

For whom is this aesthetic medicine solution indicated?

Injections are indicated for facial rejuvenation and beautification treatments, as well as preventive treatment of the effects of aging. They can be administered to people who wish to fill in fine wrinkles such as crow’s feet or furrows such as bitterness folds.

Hyaluronic acid also helps to increase the volume of the lips, smoothes the neckline area and rejuvenates the appearance of the hands. It has an anti-aging and anti-wrinkle effect and helps improve skin elasticity.

What part of the body can be treated?

• Forehead wrinkles
• Eyebrows
• Crow’s feet, dark circles
• Nasolabial folds
• Vertical cheek wrinkles
• Cheekbones, nose, cheeks
• The lips
• The hands
• The chin, the jaw
• The neck

What results can we expect after a session?

The first effects are immediate, the lost volumes are restored and the skin appears instantly firmer and more toned. However, the final results appear 15 days after the injection.

The results last from 6 to 12 months depending on the type of hyaluronic acid injected, the area treated and the individual resorption capacity of the product. Your Maison Toa team recommends a maintenance treatment every 12 months.

What happens during the treatment?

First, the skin is removed. The doctor agrees with the patient on the areas to be treated. The product is then injected a few millimeters deep using needles or cannulas depending on the indication.

The hyaluronic acid injection in Lausanne is performed by a dermatologist or surgeon in our Maison Tóā clinic.

Does it hurt?

Hyaluronic acid injection is not very painful and is performed without anesthesia. However, some areas such as the nose or lips remain more sensitive. An anesthetic cream can be used for the comfort of the patients.

What are the consequences of the treatment?

After a session, sports, sun exposure, saunas and hammams as well as the consumption of alcohol and taking Aspirin are to be avoided for 24 hours following the injections. Small redness and slight inflammation may appear after the injections, but disappear within 48 hours. Bruises disappear within 3-6 days after the injection and can be covered by a foundation the day after the treatment.
