• Once injected into the labial mucosa, Hyaluronic acid recalls the water molecules, producing a three-dimensional bulk.

• The healthier the lifestyle, the longer the effect of the filler will last and will have a greater yield. Smoking and sun exposure is a factor that contributes to a shorter duration of the fill.
• The constant use of moisturizing and nourishing creams based on hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, improves the performance of the fillers on the lips and around the contour.
• Once the hyaluronic acid has been injected, you still have time to go back without waiting for the regular resorption times if you don’t like the result.
• The doctor will indeed have a hyaluronidase enzyme that accelerates the absorption process of the filler.
• You can repeat the treatments as much as you want for aesthetic purposes, but the effectiveness will decrease over time.
• The more you undergo the fillers, the more the body will get used to the acid and will tend to reabsorb it quickly.
