Bioplasty with hyaluronic acid

Bioplasty or filling with hyaluronic acid is a treatment we do at Clínica Sanza in Barcelona.

Facial aging is a complex process that involves changes in all the tissues that make up the morphology of the face. That is why in certain superficial treatments that seek to optimize the skin may not be sufficient to produce an evident change in the search for a more youthful appearance.

Once the patient presents loss of volume, lines of expression permanently marked and displacement of the deepest tissues by laxity, the optimal indication to solve the problem must be the compensation of lost volume with injectable substances like hyaluronic acid, repositioning of the tissues with tensioning threads, or in more advanced cases, with surgery , such as, a weekend lift.

Hyaluronic acid is a collagen protein that every human being has under the skin, which provides elasticity and turgidity to the skin.

Nowadays there are many laboratories that commercialize hyaluronic acid. This product comes in vials prepared to be injected in order to provide volume to areas where it has been lost or to highlight facial features.
