Hyaluronic acid injections

Indications for Hyaluronic Acid

At Clinique Main d'Or, we recommend hyaluronic acid injections to rejuvenate features, restore volume and rebalance facial harmony. This non-surgical, rapid and minimally invasive treatment delivers immediately visible results, while maintaining a natural look.

Smoothing out superficial wrinkles

Fluid hyaluronic acid injections are ideal for reducing :

• Fine lines on the upper lip
• Jugal wrinkles (in the middle of the cheeks)
• Lion's wrinkle (between the eyebrows)

The injection is very superficial (1 to 2 mm) and is performed with a very fine needle, for immediate wrinkle erasing. A touch-up may be suggested 3 to 6 weeks later, particularly for a first treatment.

Filling deep furrows

Areas frequently treated :

• Nasolabial folds (from nose to corners of mouth)
• Bitterness folds (corners of lips downwards)

A thicker, cross-linked hyaluronic acid is injected more deeply, using a needle or micro-cannula. For patients over the age of 40, an overall facial treatment is often recommended to avoid an isolated correction that would accentuate signs of sagging.

Treatment of dark circles and the valley of tears

We use hyaluronic acid, specifically formulated for this delicate area, to correct the hollowed appearance under the eyes and reduce the look of fatigue. Injected between the lower eyelid and cheekbone, it restores volume, softens the eyes and awakens expression.

Reshaping cheeks and cheekbones

Over time, the face naturally loses volume, particularly in the cheekbones and cheeks. To restore a fresh, rested appearance, hyaluronic acid injections are recommended in hollowed or sagging areas.

Here, we use denser, more concentrated products, injected deep into the skin with a micro-cannula to limit bruising. This technique enhances volumes, rebalances features and restores vitality to the mid-face.

Result: an immediate "healthy glow" effect and a natural lower face lift

We always take care to avoid over-correction to preserve facial harmony.

Redefine and plump lips

A natural, harmonious smile also requires well-shaped lips. Our treatments enable you to :

• Moisturize lips
• Redraw the contour of the mouth
• Sublimating Cupid's bow
• Correct asymmetry or a thin mouth
• Treating gummy smiles (overly visible gums)
• Add volume while respecting natural proportions

Each injection is performed with finesse to avoid an artificial effect.

Medical Profiloplasty: rebalancing the face without surgery

Medical profiloplasty involves harmonizing the facial profile using hyaluronic acid injections. It enables targeted correction of :

• The nose: correct bumps, refine profile
• The chin: advancement in the case of a receding chin (medical genioplasty)
• Lips: to restore balance to facial volumes

By acting on these three zones, we obtain a more harmonious profile, without the need for a scalpel.

Reshaping the oval of the face

When facial contours begin to sag, early intervention in aesthetic medicine can yield excellent results. With the "Point Lift" technique, we use a highly cohesive hyaluronic acid to :

• Redefining the mandibular line
• Bring out the cheekbones
• Raising hollowed-out areas

This treatment restores structure and light to the face.

A radiant complexion

Hyaluronic acid also :

• Reduce signs of fatigue
• Tighten pores
• Deeply moisturize skin
• Revive complexion radiance

A tailor-made protocol is proposed according to your skin type.

Prevent skin ageing

In young adults, hyaluronic acid can be used as a preventive measure. It tones the skin, delays the appearance of wrinkles and preserves skin elasticity.

For mature skin, it stimulates, repairs and revitalizes weakened tissues.

Intervention in practice

A simple, fast and comfortable procedure

Before any injection, an anaesthetic cream can be applied, depending on your sensitivity, to ensure a painless and pleasant treatment.

The products we use are packaged in 1 ml sterile syringes. For greater transparency, each syringe is opened in front of you. The professional begins by carefully removing make-up and disinfecting the area to be treated.

Injection is then carried out using a fine needle or a micro-cannula (round tip) to minimize the risk of bruising. Hyaluronic acid can be injected directly into a wrinkle, or spread evenly as a topping, depending on the aesthetic objective.

Why choose hyaluronic acid?

Biocompatible product, virtually identical to that naturally present in the body

• Immediate effect after injection
• Little or no social eviction
• Reversible result: hyaluronic acid can be dissolved if necessary
• Low risk of bruising or side effects if injection is performed with care

Recommendations for optimal treatment

BEFORE: Avoid taking bleeding-inducing drugs (aspirin, anti-inflammatories, etc.) for 7 days prior to surgery.

Both tanned and untanned skin can be treated

Make-up must be removed before the session for hygienic reasons.

DURING:The average session lasts 30 minutes.

The procedure is fast, precise and generally well tolerated.

AFTER:Immediate resumption of activities

Light make-up can be applied

Avoid the sun, UV rays, swimming pools, saunas and steam baths for 4 to 5 days.

Do not massage or touch the injected area (except for local application of cold or Arnica cream).

FOLLOW-UP: Temporary redness, small bruises or slight swelling depending on the areas treated (especially dark circles and lips). These effects generally disappear within a few days

Expected results

Results are visible immediately, and continue to improve with each passing day. The final result is generally appreciated after one month. As hyaluronic acid is resorbable, it is advisable to repeat injections every 8 to 10 months. For the first few sessions, more frequent injections may be necessary, but the effects are long-lasting with maintenance.

Every face is unique: results may vary according to skin type, treatment area and lifestyle.
