New injectable inserts give a natural result without a facelift operation
The Hyaluronic Acid is a completely safe injectable material that has been used for at least the last 15 years. It is friendly to human skin, since it is a normal component of our body, and does not cause allergies. It is used in injectable form to fill superficial and deeper wrinkles on the face.

The action of hyaluronic acid is not limited to filling wrinkles, as it also finds other applications. One of them is the mesotherapy, which is applied to the face to provide radiance, as well as hydration from within.
It can also be applied in cases where we wish to give volume to lips, on the cheekbones or on the cheeks (that part of the face that gives it an oval shape). Spots from which volume is usually lost during the aging process, thus emptying the face. By placing the hyaluronic in the right places, we emphasize the cheekbones and the result looks more natural.
However, in addition to placing the material in the right places to achieve the maximum possible result, the application of the appropriate type of hyaluronic acid in each area by the specialist is also of great importance. So thinner material will be used on the surface layers of the skin, while thicker for expression wrinkles.

New indication for TEAR TROUGH eyes
As presented by Dr De Boulle at WCOCD 2013 in Athens, Juvederm Volbella can be used in the area around the eyes and especially in the much discussed and difficult area called the Tear Trough!
The results are really great and the injection process is relatively simple. However, a very good knowledge of the anatomy of the area is required as well as careful planning before the injection by the doctor.
