Filling Applications
Due to aging, stress, and some genetic problems, some deformations may occur in our skin. Hardening and wrinkling of the skin, aging of the skin and deterioration in facial contours are the most common deformations that occur in the body over time. Of course, it is possible to overcome these situations with medical aesthetic interventions. People with such complaints can have a better appearance as a result of repairing the deformation in the relevant area thanks to various filling applications.
What are Filling Applications?
First of all, filling and botox applications are different processes. In Botox treatment, protein is injected into the related area, while in filling applications, hyaluronic acid is injected into the problematic areas. Filling applications are an effective solution for filling fine wrinkles, pits, light or moderate lines around the mouth and nose on the face.
As people age, there is a decrease in the ratio of elastin tissue, collagen, and hyaluronic acid in the skin. In filling applications, the decreased hyaluronic acid is supplemented with small needles. Hyaluronic acid has a gel consistency due to its structure. It is preferred for filling the subcutaneous tissues and thus, increasing the water holding capacity and providing a density in the relevant area. As a result, the skin gets a healthier form, providing a younger appearance.

Hyaluronic acid that is already present in our body has many benefits. Hyaluronic acid is a type of polymer with a binding function. The most important feature of this acid is that it offers an intense moisturizing effect. Other benefits can be listed as follows:
