Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

透明質酸皮膚填充劑

Description 描述:
Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to hydrate and volumize the skin. As we age, our natural HA production decreases, leading to volume loss and the formation of wrinkles and folds.
透明質酸(HA)皮膚填充劑是一種注射治療,用於增加容量、平滑皺紋和改善面部輪廓。透明質酸是人體內天然存在的物質,有助於保濕和增加皮膚體積。隨著年齡增長,我們的天然HA產量減少,導致容量流失和皺紋、摺痕的形成。

HA fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to:

HA填充劑是一種凝膠狀物質,注射在皮膚下用於:

  • Plump up lips 豐唇
  • Enhance cheek volume 增加臉頰體積
  • Smooth out nasolabial folds (lines from nose to mouth) 平滑鼻唇溝(從鼻子到嘴巴的線條)
  • Fill in under-eye hollows 填充眼下凹陷
  • Reduce the appearance of marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin) 減少木偶線的出現(從嘴巴到下巴的線條)
  • Improve jawline definition 改善下顎線條定義
  • Smooth out chin wrinkles 平滑下巴皺紋
  • Correct asymmetry in facial features 矯正面部特徵的不對稱

The procedure is minimally invasive and typically takes 15-60 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Results are immediate, with some potential for slight swelling in the first few days.
這個程序是微創的,通常需要15-60分鐘,取決於治療的區域。結果立即可見,但在最初幾天可能會有輕微腫脹。

  • Immediate results with minimal downtime
  • Natural-looking volume enhancement
  • Smoothing of wrinkles and folds
  • Improved facial contours and symmetry
  • Hydration of the skin from within

  • 自然看起來的容量增加
  • 平滑皺紋和摺痕
  • 改善面部輪廓和對稱性
  • 從內部滋潤皮膚
  • 隨時間刺激膠原蛋白生成
  • 如有需要可以逆轉(HA可以用稱為透明質酸酶的酵素溶解)
  • 可定制治療(不同區域使用不同配方)
  • 由熟練醫生操作時可達到漸進和自然的效果
  • 可與其他治療結合以達到全面的年輕化效果

Potential Risks:

  • Swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites
  • Lumps or irregularities (usually temporary and can be massaged out)
  • Infection (rare)
  • Allergic reaction (very rare)
  • Vascular occlusion (extremely rare but serious; requires immediate medical attention)
  • Migration of filler from the intended area
  • Asymmetry if not injected evenly
  • Tyndall effect (bluish tint under the skin if filler is placed too superficially)

潛在風險:

  • 注射部位腫脹、發紅或瘀青
  • 腫塊或不規則(通常是暫時的,可以通過按摩消除)
  • 感染(罕見)
  • 過敏反應(非常罕見)
  • 血管阻塞(極為罕見但嚴重;需要立即就醫)
  • 填充物從預定區域移動
  • 如果注射不均勻可能導致不對稱
  • 廷達爾效應(如果填充物放置得太表淺,皮膚下會出現藍色色調)

Expected Outcomes 預期結果:
Results are visible immediately after the treatment, with some potential for slight swelling in the first few days. The effects of HA fillers typically last 6-18 months, depending on the specific product used, the area treated, and individual factors such as metabolism and lifestyle. As the filler gradually breaks down, the volume enhancement and wrinkle-smoothing effects will slowly diminish. Many patients choose to have touch-up treatments to maintain their results.
治療後立即可見效果,但在最初幾天可能會有輕微腫脹。HA填充劑的效果通常持續6-18個月,取決於使用的具體產品、治療區域以及個人因素如代謝和生活方式。隨著填充物逐漸分解,容量增加和皺紋平滑的效果會慢慢減弱。許多患者選擇進行補充治療以維持效果。
