Hyaluronic Acid Treatment

Restore volume and revitalize your face without surgery

Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance in our body that decreases with age. This allows gravity to take its toll, causing volume loss and the appearance of static wrinkles.

At Instituto Dermatológico García-Legaz, we offer personalized treatments to restore hyaluronic acid to the areas that need it most, helping to give your face a renewed and balanced appearance.

What is Hyaluronic Acid?

And how it works on your skin

Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide (a complex sugar) found in connective tissues and the synovial fluid of the joints. Its main function is to capture and retain water, which helps maintain hydration, elasticity, and tissue volume.

As we age, the body’s production of hyaluronic acid decreases, contributing to facial volume loss and the appearance of wrinkles. That’s why hyaluronic acid is used to restore lost volume, deeply hydrate the skin, and smooth wrinkles.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid

Natural and effective facial rejuvenation

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most popular options for facial rejuvenation, thanks to its versatility and biocompatibility. Its resorbable effect, which may vary depending on metabolism and the treated area, allows for precise adjustments in future sessions.

The main benefits of hyaluronic acid are:

Immediate and natural results: Instantly rejuvenated and harmonious appearance.
Minimally invasive procedure: no surgery or long recovery periods required.
Biocompatible and safe: naturally assimilated by the body, with no risk of allergies or rejection.
Deep hydration: works from within to improve skin texture, radiance, and softness.
Volume restoration: restores lost volume, achieving a firm and balanced appearance.
Collagen stimulation: boosts fibroblast activity (the cells responsible for collagen production), enhancing skin regeneration, firmness, and elasticity.

Injectable Hyaluronic Acid

Treatment areas and applications

At Instituto Dermatológico García-Legaz, we apply hyaluronic acid by selecting the appropriate density based on the treatment area. We use denser formulas to add volume where needed, and lighter options for hydration or subtle touch-ups—always ensuring harmony in facial structures.

The most common applications include:

Wrinkle and fold correction: nasolabial folds, perioral lines, and lower face wrinkles.
Lip enhancement and contouring: increased volume and definition without losing natural expression.
Under-eye improvement: for a fresher, more rested appearance.
Facial restructuring: cheekbone enhancement, chin definition, and jawline contouring.
Deep hydration: skin revitalization and improvement in texture and radiance through mesotherapy (skinboosters).

The Hyaluronic Acid Procedure

Facial correction and harmony

Hyaluronic acid treatment is a fast, safe, and minimally invasive procedure.

At Instituto Dermatológico García-Legaz, we follow a rigorous protocol that begins with an initial assessment, where we analyze the areas that need correction or enhancement to improve facial harmony naturally.

Through intradermal microinjections or injections into the deep layers of the skin—depending on each person’s needs—we apply the hyaluronic acid to the agreed areas and finish with a gentle massage to ensure even distribution and a balanced result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions?
We've got the answers.

Is hyaluronic acid treatment painful?

No, the procedure is well tolerated and causes minimal discomfort.

Very fine microneedles are used to apply the hyaluronic acid, and in most cases, topical anesthesia is applied for added comfort. Some patients may feel slight pressure or stinging in certain areas, but the sensation is minimal and temporary.

How long does the effect of hyaluronic acid last?

The duration of hyaluronic acid varies depending on factors such as your metabolism, the treated area, and the type and density of hyaluronic acid used.

In general, results typically last between 6 and 12 months. In areas with more movement, like the lips, the product may be reabsorbed faster, while in less mobile areas like the cheeks, the results may last longer.

To maintain results, maintenance sessions are recommended.

When will I see the results of hyaluronic acid?

The effects of hyaluronic acid are immediately visible, as the product adds volume and improves hydration from the very first moment.

However, the final result is more noticeable after a few days, once the hyaluronic acid has fully settled into the tissues and any initial swelling or redness has subsided.

In some cases, results continue to improve over the first few weeks, as the product stimulates collagen production and retains moisture in the skin, giving it a fresher and more rejuvenated appearance.
