The anti-ageing benefits of filling injections

Dr Arie Azuelos' blog in Paris

Injections of hyaluronic acid-based fillers have become a common solution for reducing the signs of skin ageing. These non-surgical procedures offer an effective and safe approach without being invasive.

What are dermal fillers?

Filler injections, also known as hyaluronic acid injections, are a non-surgical aesthetic procedure used to restore lost volume in parts of the face, hands or other areas of the body. Hyaluronic acid, a product naturally present in the skin, is injected to fill in wrinkles, restore facial contours and give a rejuvenated appearance. This substance is valued for its ability to retain moisture, which helps to hydrate and revitalise the skin, improving its elasticity and firmness.

The benefits of filling injections

Hyaluronic acid-based filling injections offer a multitude of benefits for the skin and facial contours. By filling in wrinkles and hollows, these injections restore the volume lost over time, giving the skin a smoother, younger appearance.

What’s more, hyaluronic acid is known for its moisturising properties, which help to improve the skin’s elasticity and firmness. By revitalising skin tissue, these injections can also help to reduce signs of fatigue and stress, giving the face a natural radiance and rejuvenated appearance.

Thanks to their long-lasting effect, filler injections can not only correct the visible signs of ageing, but also prevent them from appearing in the future, offering an effective, natural solution to the effects of time on the skin.

At what age should I start injecting fillers?

There is no specific age at which to start filling injections; it depends on the individual needs of each patient. However, most patients start to consider this procedure in their thirties or forties, when the first signs of skin ageing, such as fine lines and loss of volume, begin to appear. Filler injections can be an effective way of preventing or correcting the visible signs of ageing, giving the skin a fresher, younger appearance.

First session and follow-up: what happens during the procedure?

During the first consultation, Dr Arié Azuelos assesses the patient’s needs, discusses treatment options and suggests a personalised procedure. The injection itself is generally quick and painless. The procedure is carried out on an outpatient basis. After the initial session, regular follow-up is required to assess the results and carry out touch-ups if necessary. Results can last from several months to over a year. Follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain results over time, thereby prolonging the anti-ageing benefits of the filler injections.
