Ácido hialurônico na harmonização facial e possíveis intercorrências

Abstract

Introduction: The search for cosmetic products and aesthetic procedures based on hyaluronic acid has seen a considerable increase in the market, with the aim of delaying aging and obtaining younger, healthier skin. Methodology: This study is a narrative review of the literature, aiming to discuss the applicability of hyaluronic acid in facial harmonization, also exploring the possibilities of complications. Results: The use of injectable hyaluronic acid has become increasingly desirable as it provides tissue repair, collagen stimulation, skin protection against intrinsic and extrinsic factors, in addition to stimulating skin moisture, reducing wrinkles, and restoring deep hydration. Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, filling with hyaluronic acid is a procedure considered safe and minimally invasive. It can have risks and adverse effects during and after the process, which is why it requires a lot of care and attention from both the professional and the patient post-procedure. To complement and offer more balanced, natural, and complete effects, other procedures can be combined, such as: botulinum toxin, collagen bio-stimulators, facial threads, microneedling, mesotherapy and peeling. Keywords: Fillers; hyaluronic acid; complications; skin aging.
