Seventy Hyal treatments
​Seventy Hyal is an injectable Hyaluronic Acid skin treatment that aims to improve hydration levels within the skin.
Along with Seventy’s moisture-surging benefits, the scientifically advanced skin booster simultaneously stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin to further enhance the skin. Ultimately, Seventy Hyal treats the physiological depletion of Hyaluronic Acid within the skin lost as we age.
Initially two to three treatments of the injectable skin booster are needed four weeks apart. Essentially, this will be required to achieve the desired result. In some cases, and depending on initial skin quality, a fourth treatment may be necessary. Treatments will then need to be topped up every 6-12 months, dependent on skin quality.
The skin booster can be used for facial enhancements to create a rejuvenated and revived look. It can also be used to rejuvenate and refresh the neck area, arms, knees, and hands also.
Seventy Hyal 2000 is a high-dose injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler that is used to correct moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. This dermal filler contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to keep skin hydrated and plump.
RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS: As with any procedure there are potential risks and complications associated with Skin Boosters Injections. You must be aware of the following possible risks before proceeding. You must fully discuss any questions with your practitioner.
Common complications:
These include pain, bleeding and bruising at the time of injection. After injection, the area may feel tender but should not be actively painful. If you experience significant pain then you must contact your practitioner as soon as possible for review. Bruising is dependent on several factors, most of the time bruising is mild but occasionally can be more significant. Bruising can take up to 2 weeks to fully resolve but should be much improved after 1 week. More uncommonly severe bruising can lead to haematoma formation, a collection of clotted blood. In this case the swollen collection of blood will need at least 2 weeks to resolve naturally and your practitioner will give you the appropriate after care advice. Your skin may appear red and swollen after the injection, this is usually mild and should improve after a couple of days, but it can last up to 14 days in some cases.
Uncommon complications include:
Skin infection (cellulitis) which presents as hot, red, shiny skin and you may also be generally unwell. In the case of suspected infection, you should contact your practitioner but also seek medical assessment as soon as possible as you will likely need antibiotics. Occasionally infection can form a swollen collection called an abscess. In this case you again must seek urgent medical attention. If you suffer from cold sores (a herpes virus infection of the lip) these can sometimes be reactivated following injections. Occasionally people can develop an unwanted inflammatory reaction and this can lead to nodule formation called granuloma. These often present as a delayed complication several months after the treatment. Several treatment options are available for granuloma formation and you may require medical assessment. Sometimes people can faint or feel faint with injections, you must tell your practitioner as soon as possible if you feel unwell during the treatment.
Rare complications include:
Allergic reaction including anaphylactic reaction which would require emergency medical assistance and transfer to hospital. Rarely, it can be injected into an artery blocking the flow of blood to the tissue being treated. This is known as vascular occlusion, if untreated it is serious because it can lead to death of tissue (necrosis) which may require reconstructive surgery to correct. In the rare event of vascular occlusion, it would be treated with emergency injections of a dissolving drug called Hyaluronidase. This is an enzyme that removes the hyaluronic acid occluding the blood vessel and can usually fully reverse the vascular occlusion leading to no long-term harmful effects. Your practitioner will be trained in how to use Hyaluronidase in an emergency, however if treatment with Hyaluronidase is not successful then you would require urgent medical assessment or assessment by a doctor who is a specialist in aesthetic medicine.
