Hyaluronic Acid
What is the application of hyaluronic acid on the body

Hyaluronic acid is well known for its hydrating, anti-aging, and regenerative properties. It is a natural component produced by the human body. Specifically, it is a high molecular weight polysaccharide synthesized by fibroblasts in the dermis, just like elastin and collagen molecules. Therefore, it is considered a natural substance, primarily found in the skin, eyes, and joints, and is responsible for hydrating the skin and eyes, as well as protecting the joints. In fact, it is an extremely hydrophilic component, which is why it is directly associated with skin hydration and the maintenance of its elasticity. Finally, it is a non-invasive treatment.

Where Is Hyaluronic Acid Used on the Body?

Hyaluronic acid is primarily used on the body to improve body contour or to fill hollow deformations and scars. Specifically, it can be applied to smooth wrinkles in the female décolleté, enhance the contour of the buttocks,

and restore lost volume in areas requiring natural filling, in order to achieve a firmer appearance and shape. It is also used on the calves (gastrocnemius muscles), arms (triceps), and abdominal muscles.

2
Who Is Eligible for Hyaluronic Acid Application on the Body?

The treating dermatologist is responsible for assessing the patient’s skin needs and recommending the appropriate treatment. However, hyaluronic acid application on the body is mainly intended for individuals who wish to enhance a specific area of their body without undergoing surgical intervention.

3
Who Is Not a Candidate for Hyaluronic Acid Application on the Body?

The treatment is not recommended for individuals with:

  • Dermatological conditions in the treatment area
  • Blood clotting disorders
  • Diabetes
  • Pregnancy
  • Immunodeficiencies or cancer
4
What to Expect After Hyaluronic Acid Application on the Body

Following the treatment, minor bruising, localized swelling, small lumps, and discomfort at the injection site may occur. These symptoms typically subside within the first few days after the application. Over time, the body metabolizes and absorbs the injected material. Results are immediate after treatment; however, the duration of effect varies depending on the individual’s physiology.

Injectable body hyaluronic acid is composed of the same stabilized hyaluronic acid used in over ten million facial treatments, with no life-threatening incidents ever reported. Its safety is certified according to the standards governing medical devices. According to the manufacturing company of the product used by dermatologist S. Theocharis in the clinic, it is approved and certified, meets all necessary European standards (CE mark), and undergoes regular testing and inspections to ensure its high quality and safety.

Here comes the good news. Hyaluronic acid treatment is one of the few procedures for which, if the final result is unsatisfactory, there is a way to reverse it. The removal is achieved by administering its antidote, hyaluronidase. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid and is used in medicine to facilitate the absorption of certain drugs. When injected directly into the area where the synthetic hyaluronic acid was placed, it dissolves it immediately. Hyaluronidase is safe and acts only on synthetic hyaluronic acid, without affecting the body’s naturally occurring substance.

    2
    The stages of the treatment

    The HydraFacial® hydradermabrasion treatment combines cleansing, sebum extraction, hydration, and antioxidant protection in a single procedure.

    • 1st Stage – Skin Cleansing (Facial Cleansing)
      In this initial stage, the skin is prepared with specialized cleansers tailored to each skin type, ensuring it is ready for the next phase of hydradermabrasion.

    • 2nd Stage – Lymphatic Drainage (Optional Stage)
      The enhanced HydraFacial treatment includes lymphatic massage using a dedicated handpiece, which activates the lymphatic system to improve drainage and contributes to skin rejuvenation.

    • 3rd Stage – Hydradermabrasion
      During this stage, dermabrasion is performed across the entire face. Combined with negative water pressure, it removes dead skin cells and makeup residues that may clog the pores. The procedure is also applied to the lips for exfoliation and cleansing.

    • 4th Stage – Chemical Peeling (Glycolic/Salicylic Acid)
      A blend of glycolic and salicylic acids is infused, which brightens and smooths the skin. Exfoliation and removal of dead cells also occur at this stage, renewing the skin. The intensity of the chemical peel varies based on the skin’s condition and tolerance. This step also includes lip exfoliation.

    • 5th Stage – Sebum Extraction (Vortex-Extraction)
      Sebum is extracted using the vortex-extraction method, where a spiral handpiece and simultaneous water infusion deeply cleanse the pores and remove sebum and blackheads. Manual extraction may be performed where necessary.

    • 6th Stage – Hydration and Antioxidant Protection
      Once the skin is fully prepared to absorb active ingredients, a serum enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamins, antioxidants, and peptides is infused for deep hydration and antioxidant protection. The process also includes the lips. Lastly, an eye area booster with a peptide complex is applied to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

    • 7th Stage – LED Light Therapy (Optional Stage)
      LED light therapy is used either to soothe acne-prone skin with its antimicrobial effects or to stimulate anti-aging benefits and accelerate skin cell renewal.

    • 8th Stage – Hydrating and Anti-Aging Mask (Face Masque)
      In the final stage, a mask suitable for each skin type—hydrating or anti-aging—is applied to soothe the skin and reduce irritation. For acne-prone skin, soothing masks targeting sebum control and pore reduction are used.

    We answer all your questions

    The treatment protocol recommended by dermatologist Dr. Theocharis includes 3 sessions, spaced one month apart. Thereafter, maintenance sessions are advised at less frequent intervals, depending on the specific needs of each skin type.

    HydraFacial has the advantage of zero downtime, so you can return to your daily activities immediately. Sunscreen use is essential for the first few days after the treatment, and sun exposure should be approached with care for the first 3 days. In cases where manual extraction is performed, mild redness may appear on the face, which typically subsides within a few hours.

    • Avoid sun exposure during the first few days following the session.
    • Use sunscreen daily.
    • It is recommended to keep the skin clean and free of makeup for a few hours,
    • allowing the active ingredients to remain on the skin. After several hours, you may wash your face normally.
    • If you are using topical medications on your face, always consult your dermatologist for application instructions.
    • Avoid intense physical activity on the same day as the treatment.
    • Use clean bed linens and towels.

    HydraFacial is perfectly compatible with all aesthetic dermatology treatments. It is specifically recommended prior to injectable procedures such as Botox, hyaluronic acid, and both autologous and heterologous mesotherapy, as well as other treatments, to achieve optimal results. In cases where HydraFacial follows injectable treatments, a waiting period of 20 to 30 days is usually required.

    RF Tightening Treatment

    Facial Aesthetic Treatments
    RF Tightening Treatment
    What is radiofrequency (RF)?

    Radiofrequency (RF) refers to the frequency of oscillations per unit of time, specifically within the range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, falling within the low-frequency spectrum of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation. The treatment is performed using the certified Accent device, which is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is the only device that combines two types of RF technology: monopolar and bipolar radiofrequencies.

    It is a non-invasive treatment aimed at skin tightening. Thanks to its specialized technology, it delivers thermal energy to the deeper layers of the skin—precisely where collagen fibers are located—raising the temperature to 41–43°C. This results in the immediate contraction of the fibers and, consequently, skin tightening, while also stimulating collagen production in the epidermis.

    RF Tightening Treatment
    Everything You Need to Know
    1
    How effective is it?

    Radiofrequency is one of the most effective therapeutic methods for addressing skin laxity in the field of aesthetic dermatology. It is a non-invasive treatment that targets body tightening, fat reduction, and the improvement of cellulite.

    This is a specialized treatment that delivers heat beneath the skin down to the fatty tissue, enhancing skin circulation and helping to shrink fat cells, tighten and tone the skin, and increase its elasticity, while also providing a particularly pleasant sensation to the body.

    2
    What are the applications of radiofrequency?

    Radiofrequency serves as a therapeutic key for improving various aesthetic concerns, including:

    • Skin tightening on the body (addressing laxity due to weight loss or aging) as well as on the face (improving fine lines and facial contour)
    • Reduction of localized fat
    • Improvement of skin texture with an orange peel appearance (cellulite)
    • Improvement of acne scars (Fractional RF Microneedling)
    3
    Types of radiofrequency and mechanism

    The types of radiofrequency include monopolar, bipolar, and their variations with alternating poles. Monopolar radiofrequency (Accent RF unipolar) can penetrate up to 20 mm without damaging the skin surface, targeting fat mass and superficial trapped fat. In contrast, bipolar radiofrequency (Accent RF bipolar) penetrates 2 to 6 mm, causing collagen fiber contraction, resulting in immediate tightening while also stimulating fibroblasts to produce new fibers.

    Additionally, both the monopolar and bipolar handpieces contain a coordinated radiofrequency mechanism that includes a thermoelectric coupling (TEC) cooling system and an activation switch. These two handpieces can be used individually or sequentially within the same treatment. The Accent system is FDA and CE certified and is completely safe.

    4
    How is the type of radiofrequency selected in each case?

    Radiofrequency is an effective therapeutic tool for improving various aesthetic concerns such as:

    Its selection depends on:

    • Skin thickness
    • Anatomical location
    • Type of concern being treated

    Guideline:

    Monopolar radiofrequency is used for deep stimulation and action, while bipolar radiofrequency is used for more superficial effects.

    5
    Is the energy applied the same in all cases?

    No, it depends on the thickness of the tissue and primarily on the tissue's resistance. The higher the resistance, the greater the energy required.

    6
    What are the clinical signs indicating the completion of the therapeutic process in each area?

    • Clinical erythema of the area

    • Maintenance of temperature at 40–42°C for 2–5 minutes

    • Visible clinical improvement of the area

    • Achievement of the overall “target” for each treatment zone

    7
    Who is RF treatment intended for and on which areas can it be applied?

    Radiofrequency can be applied to both men and women in all areas where skin laxity and cellulite are observed. More specifically, it can be used on the face (for more defined contours and smoother skin), neck,

    knees, arms, inner thighs, buttocks (for lifting), abdomen, and more. It is suitable for all skin types and can be performed throughout the year.

    ΣΥΝΕΔΡΙΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΠΟΤΕΛΕΣΜΑΤΑ
    Number of Sessions

    The total number of sessions required in each case depends on the severity and individual needs of the patient. Typically, a complete protocol includes 5–6 sessions, scheduled every 15 days. The first results are usually visible after the 3rd or 4th session.

    Visible Results

    RF radiofrequency treatments offer noticeable and satisfying results. They contribute to body contouring, skin tightening, cellular renewal, and improved skin circulation and quality. It is an ideal method for areas affected by cellulite, fat accumulation, and skin laxity. Its properties make it an excellent choice for regions with localized fat, such as the arms, thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and knees.

    LPG Endermologie Treatment

    For even better results, RF therapy is often combined with LPG endermologie, performed sequentially. Additionally, it can be paired with HIFU treatment (high-intensity focused ultrasound).

    Post-Treatment Instructions

    · No recovery time is required · Immediate return to daily activities · Adequate fluid intake is recommended · Consistent use of sun protection is essential

    Myth
    RF treatment will make me lose weight.
    Truth
    RF treatment is not a weight-loss method. It helps improve skin laxity and reduce localized fat. However, for the treatment to deliver optimal results, it must be combined with a balanced diet and regular physical exercise.
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    We answer all your questions

    Radiofrequency can indeed be combined with other aesthetic procedures, thereby enhancing the overall cosmetic outcome for each area. On the face, it can be combined with botulinum toxin, mesotherapy, hyaluronic acid, chemical peeling, fractional laser, or SkinPen, depending on the skin’s specific needs—provided that the practitioner follows the correct treatment sequence, ensuring that one procedure does not interfere with or negate the effect of another.
    On the body, RF is commonly combined with mesotherapy, endermologie (LPG), cryolipolysis, or HIFU.

    No, radiofrequency is a painless treatment and, on the contrary, creates a sensation of relaxation due to the warmth generated in the area where the application is performed.

    Contraindications: Radiofrequency is contraindicated in individuals with a history of malignancy, during pregnancy and breastfeeding, in cases of active connective tissue disease, in patients with metallic implants, and in those with severe systemic illnesses. Caution is required in the presence of varicose veins and phlebitis.

    Side effects: Serious side effects are not reported, provided that basic therapeutic guidelines are followed.

    Botulinum toxin (Botox – Dysport)

    Facial Aesthetic Treatments
    Botulinum toxin (Botox – Dysport)
    What is the injectable Botox/Dysport treatment?

    The application of botulinum toxin is now an integral part of the daily practice of modern dermatologists and serves as a unique tool for addressing certain medical and aesthetic concerns. Botulinum toxin type A is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and is available in two formulations: Botox (Allergan) and Dysport (Ipsen). It works by temporarily inactivating striated muscle fibers through its action at the neuromuscular junctions. Both products are approved by the FDA as well as the corresponding regulatory agencies in the EU.

    Botox - Dysport
    Everything you need to know
    1
    Mode of action of Botox/Dysport and application areas.

    In most cases, wrinkles form as a result of changes in the skin’s architecture, with a gradual replacement of elastin fibers by collagen fibers, under the influence of various factors such as exposure to ultraviolet radiation, smoking, sleep, daily habits, the patient’s constitution, and the activity of facial muscles through expressions.

    As previously mentioned, botulinum toxin acts on the presynaptic membranes of postganglionic cholinergic nerve fibers, inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This leads to temporary, reversible muscle weakness and the desired therapeutic effect. The onset of action is typically observed 3–4 days after injection, with results peaking around the 2nd to 3rd week. The duration of the treatment's effectiveness depends on the severity of the wrinkle-related aesthetic issue, the dynamic strength of the muscles, and the degree of the patient's facial expressiveness. The application is fully individualized, with the dose and injection sites tailored to the muscle activity, size, age, and gender. Muscle function gradually returns, usually within 4–6 months.

    2
    What are the indications for Botox/Dysport treatment?

    Botulinum toxin has been used for over 15 years in aesthetic dermatology to correct hyperdynamic expression lines in the glabella (frown lines), forehead, periorbital area (crow’s feet), expression lines at the nasal base, and to correct facial asymmetries. The strictly medical applications include improvement of hyperhidrosis in the axillae, palms, and soles, as well as treatment for certain types of migraines, blepharospasm, torticollis, and cervical dystonia.

    3
    Contraindications for the application of botulinum toxin

    Botulinum toxin is contraindicated in: Individuals with neuromuscular disorders (Myasthenia Gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome) Those with an allergy to any of the product's components or in the presence of inflammation at the injection site

    In patients taking medications that affect the neuromuscular junction by enhancing the effect of botulinum toxin (e.g. aminoglycosides, penicillamine, quinine, calcium channel blockers) During pregnancy and breastfeeding.

    4
    Possible side effects after botulinum toxin treatment

    When Botox®/Dysport® is administered correctly by a well-trained dermatologist in a specialized medical setting that meets all necessary standards, the likelihood of side effects is minimized.

    Common side effects observed after the procedure include bruising at the injection sites and minor extravasation of the product. Some patients may also experience headaches for 1–2 days, while in rare cases, temporary eyelid drooping (ptosis) has been reported, which typically resolves within 10–15 days.

    For these reasons, and to perfect the aesthetic outcome of the Botox/Dysport treatment, a follow-up evaluation is performed in our clinic approximately 15–20 days after the procedure by our physician, Dr. S. Theocharis.

    It is important to note that the goal of proper botulinum toxin administration is not to completely immobilize facial movement, but rather to reduce involuntary or habitual facial movements that lead to the formation of specific wrinkles.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
    We answer every question you have.

    The initiation of Botox/Dysport treatment is determined by a specialized dermatologist according to the individual needs of each patient and, of course, after obtaining a complete medical history. The primary goal is to prevent the transformation of dynamic wrinkles (those that appear during facial expressions) into static ones (visible at rest), rather than intervening when treatment is not deemed necessary. Our aim is always to achieve a natural-looking result.

    Το ChatGPT είπε:

    Yes, injectable Botox/Dysport treatment is generally considered safe when performed by experienced and professional dermatologists in a clinically secure environment. Botox has been used for decades in medical applications, and its safety has been documented in millions of patients worldwide.

    • Try to exercise the facial muscles for 2–3 hours after the treatment (e.g., frowning, raising eyebrows, smiling). This helps the toxin take effect faster and distribute evenly across the muscles. Although this technique is helpful, forgetting to do it will not significantly affect the final result.

    • Do not rub the treated areas for the next 24 hours.

    • Do not apply makeup for 4 hours after the treatment.

    • Do not lie down for 2–4 hours after the treatment.

    • Avoid strenuous exercise for 2 days following the treatment.

    • Avoid hot showers, blow dryers, excessive sun exposure, massage, sauna, or hammam for the next 2 days.

    • Avoid additional facial treatments such as laser therapy, chemical peels, or dermabrasion for 1 month.

    • For optimal and lasting results, the procedure should be repeated every 6 months, according to international medical standards.
