Hyaluronic Acid Volume, to the Millimeter
Restore, redefine, refine. Everything begins with an in-depth discussion to understand your expectations and needs. Then a comprehensive facial analysis, and a step-by-step approach: foundations first, contours next, refinement last.
Bruising possible, concealable with makeup from the next day

A Discussion, Then a Plan.
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the skin. The injectable gels used are biocompatible, reversible, and precise enough to allow the finest work. Their effect ranges from subtle to pronounced, depending on the area, the product chosen, and what you wish to achieve.
I take the time to understand your expectations and needs before any procedure. I analyze the face as a whole and prefer to work in stages: first the foundations (cheekbones, temples), then the contours (facial oval), then the refinement (lips, folds, details). Each stage is discussed.
The Indications
Sagging cheekbones, hollow temples
Facial oval, jawline contour
Hollow tear troughs (tear valley)
Nasolabial folds, marionette lines
Wrinkle reduction
Receding chin, profile
Lips: hydration, definition, volume
Aging hands
How It Works
In-depth discussion to understand your expectations and needs. Comprehensive facial analysis: what has changed, what needs to be restored, what should remain untouched.
I prefer to work in stages: foundations first (cheekbones, temples), then contours (facial oval), then refinement (lips, details). Each stage is discussed and planned.
Cannula or needle depending on the area. Local anesthesia sometimes, depending on the area and sensitivity. ± 60 minutes. Sensation of pressure, rarely painful.
Follow-up appointment scheduled at one month depending on the treated area, to assess the stabilized result and adjust if necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I have a swollen face?
Minor swelling is normal for approximately 48 hours. For certain areas (temples, tear troughs), it may last a bit longer. It is always temporary and does not compromise the result.
How long do the results last?
Between 9 and 24 months depending on the treated areas, the product used, the desired result, and your metabolism. Highly mobile areas (lips) last less time, foundations (cheekbones, facial oval) last longer.
Is it reversible?
Yes, this is one of the great advantages of hyaluronic acid. We have an enzyme, hyaluronidase, which dissolves the product and can therefore correct or remove a result if necessary. It is a valuable safety measure.
What if I don't like the result?
I take the time beforehand to fully understand what you want, which is why I work in discussed stages. If despite everything the result does not suit you, it can always be removed with hyaluronidase.
Can I work the next day?
Yes. Any bruising can be easily covered with makeup. Avoid any intense physical activity for 48 hours, and any intense heat (sauna, hammam) for one week.
