Upon arrival at the procedure, your doctor will always consult you, examine and assess the condition of your skin and advise you on which preparation is best for you. This procedure requires highly professional knowledge and experience, as a completely different outcome can be attained if the injection is not carried out with sufficient precision. We ensure that the doctors who perform hyaluronic acid injections at “Sapiega clinic” are of the highest qualification and have extensive experience in this field.

No special preparation is required before the procedure, but it is recommended not to overheat in the sun or sunbathing, not to take certain medications that may affect the procedure (blood thinners, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, so if you take anything – caution your doctor).

During the procedure, a small amount of stabilized hyaluronic acid from a special, sterile syringe is injected subcutaneously into the areas of the wrinkles with a thin needle. As already mentioned, hyaluronic acid is injected evenly and precisely to provide a stable volume effect in the areas to be formed and evenly fills the gaps between the collagen fibres – fills in wrinkles, begins skin hydration, stimulates collagen synthesis and forms new skin fibres. The procedure of hyaluronic acid injection takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on its volume.

The medicinal products injected at “Sapiega clinic” meet the strictest standards of medical research, technologically ensure product’s safety, reliability and longevity of the desired results. These are certified hyaluronic acid fillers that have been clinically tested, monitored and compared for long-term results.

The hyaluronic acid filler pack contains one syringe (1 to 1.2 ml) and several sterile non-traumatic needles, which are necessary for the safe and high-quality performance of the procedure. This syringe pack is opened in front of you only and is for your use only.

Because skin fillers do not contain proteins foreign to the human body, the likelihood of allergic reactions is extremely low, and over time, the preparations are completely broken down in the human body. These properties give the products special security.

For the first few hours after the hyaluronic acid injection, the skin at the injection site may be red, slightly swollen – a normal skin reaction that resolves within a few hours. After the procedure, direct sunlight and heating in the sauna should be avoided for some time (usually up to a week). All the necessary information about skin care at home will be provided by a specialist treating you.
