Its effect becomes apparent after the first 48 hours to the first 7-10 days, while its duration is about 4-6 months, when it can be repeated. It is aimed at women and men whose expression wrinkles are starting to appear more intensely, as well as for the renewal of their face. It should always be performed by specialized doctors to avoid mistakes that can cause deterioration of the image of the face (drooping upper eyelid, ‘frozen’ face, drooping corner of the mouth, etc.).
Injectable fillers are now just as popular. Hyaluronic acid is mainly used, as well as fat, as well as processed blood, etc. Hyaluronic acid is a normal component of our body and therefore harmless to inject. Injectable implants give us incredible opportunities to change, reshape and renew the face.

The effect offered by hyaluronic acid is immediately apparent after a mild local swelling that subsides the next day. Its duration of action is about 8 to 12 months, at which time its application will need to be repeated. The latest generation injections are of much higher quality and have evolved a lot, as a result of which they last longer. Its infusion is relatively painless and it is wonderful that in a direct, easy and economical way we can have results almost similar to surgeries.
