What is it and how does it work
What is hyaluronic acid wrinkle filling?
This is an aesthetic medicine treatment that involves injecting hyaluronic acid with very fine needles or cannulas to correct wrinkles and folds, and to restore volume that is lost with age (nasolabial folds, barcode lines, dark circles, cheekbones). It is not surgery and is performed in a consultation room in just a few minutes.
Does wrinkle filler hurt?
It’s usually a very comfortable treatment. Current hyaluronic acids incorporate anaesthetic (lidocaine) and, when necessary, topical anaesthesia is applied beforehand, so discomfort is minimal.
Duration, reversibility and zones
How long does the result last?
Hyaluronic acid is gradually and naturally reabsorbed. Orientatively, the effect lasts between 7 and 12 months depending on the area, product, amount and individual metabolism. Periodic touch-ups help to prolong the result.
Is the filling reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid is reversible: if necessary, the doctor can apply hyaluronidase, an enzyme that dissolves the product and allows the result to be corrected or reversed. This provides an additional margin of safety.
What areas can be treated?
The most common areas treated are the nasolabial folds, perioral wrinkles (smoker's lines), dark circles and tear troughs, cheekbones and facial volumes, and lips. The area and product used are determined during a consultation, specific to each case.
Dermal filler or Botox, price and areas
Fillers or Botox: which is right for me?
It depends on the type of wrinkle. Hyaluronic acid fillers correct wrinkles and lines that are already noticeable at rest and replenish volume; botulinum toxin relaxes the muscles that cause expression wrinkles (frown lines, forehead, crow's feet). In many cases, they are used in combination. The doctor will determine the best option during your consultation.
How much does wrinkle filler cost in Girona?
There isn't a single price: it depends on the product, its density, the number of zones and the quantity needed. The price is personalised after an evaluation, which is free and non-binding. You can also explore financing options.
Do you see patients from outside Girona?
Yes. We regularly receive patients from all over the province of Girona and the Costa Brava (Salt, Figueres, Blanes, Lloret de Mar, Olot, Banyoles, Palafrugell, Sant Feliu de Guíxols...). If you are coming from outside, we coordinate assessment and treatment on the same day whenever possible.
