Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that plays a key role in hydration, elasticity, and volume. In aesthetic medicine, hyaluronic acid is used as a non-surgical treatment to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and improve overall skin quality.
Treatments are individually planned based on facial anatomy, tissue characteristics, and aesthetic goals. Depending on the indication, hyaluronic acid can be used to define facial contours, soften lines and folds, restore volume loss, or improve skin hydration and texture, always with the aim of achieving natural, balanced results.

Hyaluronic Acid – Treatment Overview
Hyaluronic acid treatment is a minimally invasive procedure performed in a medical setting. Injections are administered using fine needles or cannulas and are generally well tolerated, with only mild and short-lasting discomfort.
Downtime is minimal, allowing most patients to return to their normal daily activities immediately after treatment. Temporary swelling, redness, or small bruises at the injection sites may occur but usually resolve within a short period.
Side effects are typically mild and transient when the treatment is performed by experienced medical professionals. A prior medical consultation is essential to assess suitability, discuss expectations, and explain potential risks.
At our clinic in Lisbon, hyaluronic acid treatments are individually planned and performed exclusively by board-certified plastic surgeons, with a strong focus on safety, anatomical precision, and natural-looking, long-lasting results.
