Hyaloform: Part 2

Where are Hyaloform injections performed?

Hyaloform injections are done as an outpatient at a clinic. The site of injection is cleansed and the area is marked. The injections are done using a very fine needle. Because of pain, most physicians apply a topical anesthetic 20 minutes prior to the injections.

Is the procedure painful?

Most definitely. The injections on the face do hurt but those on the lips can be excruciatingly painful.

What happens after the procedure?

After the procedure, most individuals develop some degree of redness and swelling. These transient side effects usually resolve in a few days. The mild pain last a few hours and is easily treated with over the counter pain medications.

The Hylaform once injected, binds to the underlying tissues and proves a strong support for the skin. It also swells and maintains hydration. The end result is a wrinkle free face which is smooth and youthful looking.

When does one see results after Hyaloform?

Most people see the cosmetic benefits within a week. However, because Hylaform is not a permanent cure for aging, maintenance treatments are required at least once/twice a year.
