Seventy Hyal 2000

Although most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, Seventy Hyal 2000 is not a dermal filler. The molecule chains of high molecular weight non-animal hyaluronic acid are stabilised, to form a gel which is injected into the skin and spreads to become integrated into the skin.

Three treatments are required, 4 weeks apart.  In some cases, and depending on your initial skin quality, you may benefit from a fourth treatment, typically 12 weeks from your second treatment.

Treatment with hyaluronic acid is safe, but not risk free, the clinician will discuss all the risks and benefits with you at consultation and again prior to treatment.

Emma will take a detailed medical history to ensure you have no conditions that might increase risk of unwanted side effects, consultation is also important to discuss your expectations and whether this treatment is able to meet them.

Topical anaesthetic can be used to numb the skin prior to treatment.  The injections sting briefly, but patients generally report only a mild discomfort. After the treatment, you may experience some tenderness for the first 24- 72 hours.

After treatment with Seventy Hyal 2000, there is very little marking or redness.  Small ‘lumps’ will be visible, but not particularly noticeable and usually settle within hours, certainly within 24 hours. Do not schedule treatment when you have other procedures planned, without first discussing with your clinician. This includes, but is not limited to, massage, facials, dental appointments, and surgery.

All make up will need to be removed prior to treatment, so please come ‘fresh faced’ if possible. Alcohol, aspirin, Ibuprofen, and a range of dietary supplements including St. John’s Wort, fish oils, Gingko Biloba, Vitamins C and E- may all contribute to bruising and are best avoided 24 hours before treatment. Treatment cannot be administered if there is an active skin infection, including acne or cold sores or if you are unwell- including colds, coughs, sore throats etc. Do contact the clinic to discuss any illness or new medicines prior to attending.

 

Longevity does vary between individuals, but results can be apparent from 2-4 weeks and are gained upon over a period of 4-6 weeks and last for approximately 6 months.  If you choose not to maintain the results with further treatment, your skin will return to its pre-treatment state over time.

Most people can continue with normal activities. Some will have some redness, pin prick marks. Bruising is possible.

The product is injected in small ‘deposits’, you may be able to see them initially, but they settle usually within hours. It may be possible to feel the product where it has been injected under the skin.  It will settle, there is no need to massage.

Make-up should not be worn for 12 hours.

You are advised to avoid alcohol and vigorous exercise for 48 hours.
Avoid sunbathing, and extremes of heat or cold for 14 days post treatment.

Any bruising may take a few days to appear, arnica can be helpful in clearing bruising.  It is advisable to avoid aspirin and alcohol for 12-48 hours after treatment.

Tenderness should settle as swelling and bruising goes down.
