Episode Synopsis "Podcast hyaluronic acid - Episode 07 - How do we calculate the dosage of the hyaluronic acid for a facial treatment?"

It all starts with the consultation, through the anamnesis and the objective local examination of the face, associated with the needs or desire of the patients. In the consultation we explain to patients what can be improved, how and how much hyaluronic acid can be thought of. Through this, we try to translate their desires into the amount of hyaluronic acid that will be needed. This is not often easy, especially when the patient has a limited budget and wants a certain effect. Our recommendation in these situations is to start the treatment using 0.5 or 1 ml in a certain region and so patients can see what is obtained. There are sometimes circumstances when we use 6-8 ml of hyaluronic acid for a treatment because we want to do a panfacial rejuvenation, on multiple and extensive areas. These do not represent large quantities, if the hyaluronic acid is chosen correctly and is also injected properly, with an adequate distribution. On the other hand, at the opposite pole, there may be a treatment in which only 1 ml is too much for that patient. For example, we can refer here to lip augmentation, where different results can be obtained depending on the type of product. The effect is obtained immediately and we evaluate it together with the patient in the mirror. From experience we can inform the patient that for that treatment he would need a certain amount and then after the treatment he sees and expresses his opinion. We do not recommend treatments that involve the use of large amounts of hyaluronic acid in a single area or the inappropriate use of a certain type of hyaluronic acid for a region because the risk of complications can increase exponentially. It is better for the patient to return at 3-4 weeks and supplement with another amount of hyaluronic acid, even with the same amount or with a slightly lower one and thus obtain the desired effect, than to use the entire amount in one. single session. These approaches are healthy both from an aesthetic point of view, as well as from the safety of the tissues and the patient.
