Hyaluronic Acid: 10 Myths and Facts You Should Know

Hyaluronic acid is a substance our body produces naturally. Its main function is to retain water in the tissues, keeping them hydrated and plump. From the age of 25, production gradually declines.

In aesthetic medicine it is used as an injectable gel of synthetic, biocompatible origin, which means the body recognizes and metabolizes it safely.

• Myth: Hyaluronic acid is permanent. Fact: It is biodegradable and absorbs within 6 to 18 months.
• Myth: It thins the skin. Fact: On the contrary, it hydrates and improves the dermal structure.
• Myth: Once you start, you can't stop. Fact: If you don't continue, you simply return to your pre-treatment state.
• Myth: It's only for lips. Fact: It is used on the cheekbones, under-eye area, chin, hands, and many other areas.

Hyaluronic acid can indeed be reversed with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you don't like the results or a complication arises. This is one of the great advantages of this treatment compared to other permanent fillers.

The quality of the result depends largely on the skill of the person applying it. At Med Luxe we use advanced injection techniques and premium products with international certification.

Yes, but with precautions. Heat and intense sun exposure can increase post-treatment swelling. We recommend scheduling sessions while avoiding days of high sun exposure and always applying SPF 50+ sunscreen after the procedure.

At our clinic in Bávaro we adapt the protocols to the local climate to ensure optimal results all year round.
