Gel injection
Gel injections: a fast and effective way to rejuvenate and fill facial lines
Introduction
Dermal fillers are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures used to rejuvenate the face, remove wrinkles, enhance certain areas of the face, and even fill in deep lines. With immediate results and a short recovery time, this non-surgical procedure is a great option for people who want to achieve a younger, more youthful appearance without the need for surgery. In this procedure, different types of gels are used to fill in different areas of the face to restore lost volume and reduce lines and wrinkles.
How gel injection works
Dermal fillers involve injecting gel-like substances into the middle and deep layers of the skin. These gels usually contain hyaluronic acid (a natural substance found in the body) or other fillers that help to increase skin volume and improve its structure. These gels create a more youthful appearance by filling in wrinkles, enhancing the lips or cheeks, and improving specific facial lines and areas.
Types of injectable gels
-
Hyaluronic acid gels: These types of gels occur naturally in the body and are used to fill wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin. Hyaluronic acid gels are one of the most widely used types of gels due to their high absorbability and natural results.
-
Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) Gels: These types of gels are used to fill wrinkles and add volume to specific areas of the face, such as the cheeks and chin. These gels are usually used to remove deep wrinkles and create volume in the face.
-
Polylactic acid (PLLA) gels: These types of gels help stimulate collagen production in the skin and are used to strengthen skin structure and restore volume. These gels are usually suitable for moderate to deep wrinkles.
-
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) gels: These gels are used to fill deep wrinkles and facial lines, as well as to add volume to facial areas. These types of gels are long-lasting and are usually used for long-term results.

Increased self-confidence: By removing wrinkles and improving facial shape, gel injections can significantly increase people’s self-confidence.
Areas that can be treated with gel injections

Initial consultation: During the consultation, the doctor will assess your skin condition and determine the best type of gel and areas that need treatment.
-
Local anesthesia: To prevent pain, local anesthetic creams are usually used before the injection.
-
Gel injection: The doctor injects the gel into the desired areas using fine needles. The injection process usually takes less than 30 minutes.

Immediately after treatment: The person can return to their daily activities immediately, although there may be some swelling and mild bruising in the injected areas, which usually resolves within a few days.
Results and durability of gel injections
The results of gel injections are visible immediately after treatment and gradually improve. The duration of this procedure depends on the type of gel used and the injection areas. Results usually last between 6 months and 2 years, after which extension sessions may be required to maintain the results.
