Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

The word “filler” means “filling”: the treatment involves injecting a gel-like substance that fills in wrinkles and furrows or adds volume to the lips and cheekbones. In most cases, absorbable hyaluronic acid-based fillers are used, with varying densities depending on the desired result. It is a highly biocompatible molecule that is already present in our bodies, making it very safe. The procedure is simple and virtually painless, using local anesthetics, ice and fine needles that leave no marks. The results are immediate and last from 3 to 6 months.

Botox Injections

Botox is a small amount of botulinum toxin type A, capable of producing rejuvenating effects in specific areas of the face. When used correctly, it has no particular contraindications. It is applied to the upper third of the face (forehead and eyes), smoothing out expression lines to a greater or lesser extent, depending on the patient’s preferences. The effect lasts about 6 months.

Biostimulating and Tension Threads

Stimulation threads are thin, absorbable filaments inserted into the dermis to provide a biostimulating effect or to provide traction and lift to the tissues. There are very thin, superficially implanted threads that provide a revitalizing effect over time and thicker, deeper traction threads that reshape the contours and volume of the face. The procedure takes just a few minutes and is generally performed without anesthesia; in cases requiring deeper placement, a mild local anesthetic is used. The results look natural: the first effects are visible after about 40 days and last up to 1.5–2 years.

Intralipotherapy

This is an injection technique designed to eliminate localized fat deposits, using Aqualyx, a safe and effective substance. The results are noticeable and permanent, making it a viable alternative to surgical liposuction. The treatment is quick and virtually painless and can be repeated after 5–7 weeks. The treatment plan is customized for each patient. There is no risk of gas embolisms: the fat tissue is dissolved and reabsorbed, making the technique highly safe.
