What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the human body, and specifically in the skin. It plays a crucial role in maintaining hydration and elasticity. In the context of cosmetic procedures, hyaluronic acid is the most commonly used dermal filler worldwide.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are gel-like substances made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid. They can be used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance facial contours.
The benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers include their ability to integrate with the body's own hyaluronic acid, providing natural-looking results. They can also attract and retain water, which contributes to improved hydration and skin elasticity.
Should I have hyaluronic acid fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are a good treatment for anyone who wants to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, or enhance their facial contours.
During your consultation, Dr. Gino Vissers will assess your anatomy, unique features, and aesthetic goals, and determine whether you are a good candidate for hyaluronic acid fillers.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can treat any of the following issues:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Under-eye hollows
- Volume loss in the cheeks
- Lack of lip fulness
- Deep nasolabial folds
- Marrionette lines
- Underdefined jawline
- Tired or angry look
Lips
Lip fillers are a popular non-surgical treatment to optimise both the shape and volume of the lips. By solely creating natural-looking features, Dr. Gino Vissers is known for his stunning lip makeovers!
Cheeks
As we age, our cheeks lose volume and projection. Cheek fillers with hyaluronic acid can replace the collagen that you lost. It restores the lost volume, balances your face, and creates a refreshed look.
Nasolabial folds
Nasolabial folds, the grooves between your upper lip and your cheek that become more apparent when you smile, can be effectively treated with hyaluronic acid injections.
Marionette lines
Get rid of your marionette lines (also known as "the ageing sad mouth"). Injections with hyaluronic acid give extra support to the lower lip and mouth corners, and can soften the droopy corners.
Tear trough
Tear trough filler is a filler treatment designed to revolumise the groove below the eyes, with the aim to mininise dark shadows and under-eye hollows. It will give you a younger, well-rested look!
Jawline
Jawline filler is an excellent way to add structure and definition to the jawline and chin. Especially for men, jawline filler can be transformative and can immensely improve facial attractiveness.
Non-Surgical Facelift
This is Dr. Gino Vissers' state-of-the art treatment. A non-surgical facelift is a combination of hyaluronic acid filler treatments designed to tackle multiple facial concerns, without the need for invasive surgery. Give Dr. Gino Vissers carte blanche and obtain an complete facial rejuvenation.

How does a filler treatment work?
Fillers work by injecting a gel-like substance made from hyaluronic acid into specific areas of the face. The filler integrates with the body's own hyaluronic acid, providing natural-looking results. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume, and improve hydration and skin elasticity.
Your filler treatment will consist of the following steps:
1. Consultation: During your consultation with Dr. Gino Vissers, your specific concerns and goals will be assessed. The areas to be treated will be identified, and a personalised treatment plan will be developed.
2. Preparation: Prior to the procedure, the target area may be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort during the injections.
3. Injection: Dr. Gino Vissers will carefully inject the hyaluronic acid filler into the predetermined areas to achieve the desired shape and contour.
4. Immediate Results:
The effects of hyaluronic acid fillers are visible immediately after the injections.
Are there any precautions I should be aware of?
Prior to undergoing filler treatments, it's essential to follow specific instructions and be aware of important precautions. Here are some key considerations:
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: It is generally recommended to avoid filler treatments during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as the potential effects on the foetus or infant are not fully understood.
- Avoid Aspirin and Alcohol: To reduce the likelihood of bruising, it's advisable to avoid consuming aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and alcohol from a few days before your treatment until 24 hours after your treatment.
- Quiet Recovery: allow yourself some quiet time in the first 24 hours after your treatment. Avoid excessive heat (including sauna), intense exercise, and facial massages as these may influence the infection risks.
What to expect after filler injections?
You can resume normal activities, drive home, or return to work immediately after the treatment. After your treatment, you may experience some mild swelling, which usually settles within 20 minutes. Avoid any heavy excercise, sauna, facial massages or excessive alcohol in the first 24 hours following your treatment. You may apply camouflage makeup if you have some bruising at the injection site.
The effects of hyaluronic acid fillers are temporary, typically lasting several months to over a year, depending on the specific product used and individual factors. Over time, the hyaluronic acid naturally breaks down and is absorbed by the body.
Dr. Gino Vissers will provide detailed post-operative instructions to promote optimal healing and ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process.
