It’s also called "skin cement"! Naturally present in the body, hyaluronic acid is a sugar that acts on different levels of your cells. It captures the water found in the skin and retains it. It works like a sponge capable of absorbing a thousand times its weight, thus giving the epidermis its bounce back. Made up of a series of molecules joined together, hyaluronic acid has a mesh structure and a three-dimensional network, which is the source of its anti-aging properties. Hyaluronic acid maintains hydration, guarantees firmness, and fights against skin aging. It has a regenerating and activity-boosting role by boosting the production of hyaluronic acid naturally present in the skin.
When fine lines appear, and the face becomes more profound, the skin's hyaluronic acid reserves are diminishing. Injections of this molecule are ideal to compensate for this loss, restore a plump appearance and erase the marks of time.
In the case of profiloplasty, hyaluronic acid injections can rebalance a receding chin, correct a nose by filling in a hollow area, and redefine a mouth that is too thin. These densifying injections enhance natural assets and offer balance and elegance to features. The goal is to bring harmony to the face!
Hyaluronic Acid restores bounce to wrinkled areas.
The molecule gives the skin a firmer texture and a tightening effect.
Hyaluronic Acid restores volume to hollowed areas that darken the face.
To plump up the wear of time.
Hyaluronic acid can be used to hydrate the skin and restore freshness. In this case, doctors inject a non-cross-linked fluid of hyaluronic acid as part of mesotherapy or MesoLED face. It’s also possible to use a non-volumizing cross-linked hyaluronic acid, found in Skinboosters, to restore tone and energy to the skin. Finally, cross-linked hyaluronic acid is preferred for volume restoration and filling wrinkles because it’s denser and more volumizing.
The doctor injects a dose of hyaluronic acid into the skin through a flexible cannula. The result is immediately noticeable. The intervention is painless.
The expert doctor listens to your aesthetic issues and rules out any contraindications.
He makes pre-therapeutic drawings of the area to be injected.
The doctor injects with a cannula and needle, depending on the area and the expected results.
There’s always a good reason to have a hyaluronic acid injection, regardless of the patient's age! For example, a young patient may want to enhance their assets to give more volume to the mouth. As for more mature skin, it can be plumped with the help of injections, by restoring lost volume especially in the cheeks, or by filling in folds or dark circles.
At Maison Lutétia, the doctors are all for gentle and progressive injections, preferring to inject gradually to obtain a natural and lasting result. The hyaluronic acid is gently placed under the skin. A follow-up session is scheduled in the following days to assess the effects!
Injections generally last 6 to 18 months. This varies according to the skin type, treated areas, quantities injected, and injection technique.
They are visible immediately! However, to appreciate the final result, you must wait a few days for the hyaluronic acid to settle under the skin.
No! The hyaluronic acid injection is painless, thanks to the very fine cannula. The flexible cannula leaves no trace on the skin, neither bruises nor scars.

Unlike cosmetic surgery, cosmetic medicine is non-invasive and does not require a scalpel. It does not require general anesthesia or social eviction.
The experts at Maison Lutétia are available at 6, rue Ampère in the 17th district (arrondissement) to discuss your aesthetic goals.
Hyaluronic acid is found in ophthalmology in eye drops and solutions: it’s a lubricating substance that hydrates lenses. This molecule is also found in anti-aging cosmetics (creams, serums, gels, masks) and hair care.
No, they’re not covered by the French Social Security system.
Hyaluronic acid is found in natural sources, such as plants, fruits, and vegetables, rich in antioxidants (beta-carotene, vitamin C, D, E, lycopene...) such as carrots, tomatoes, and citrus fruits.
Lotions with hyaluronic acid: They’re to be used after the cutaneous cleaning to awaken the skin and prepare it for further care application.
Hyaluronic acid gels: These products are rich in active ingredients to be applied in the morning or evening as a complement to other care products, such as a day or night cream. Its fluid texture smooths the epidermis and helps absorb the hydrating cream applied afterward.
All products/creams with hyaluronic acid: These products have a filling effect and are recommended to moisturize the skin, soothe it, and plump it up but also to fill in wrinkles. As far as dosage is concerned, it should be applied twice daily (morning and evening), just after the hyaluronic acid serum.
Masks: This can be applied for fifteen minutes or twice a week. They moisturizes, reinforces the hydrolipidic film, protects the skin from external attacks, and tightens it.
Powders: Used as a final touch of makeup to preserve the skin's moisture and beautify.
Hair serums with hyaluronic acids moisturize the hair fiber, protect it from external attacks, and bring shine/strength to the hair.
Oils: to nourish the skin
Why use cosmetic products based on this molecule? To tone the skin, protect it, and fill wrinkles.
Like any injection, hyaluronic acid can carry risks or rather side effects that affect only 0.1 to 1% of people, according to the ANSM (Agence Nationale de Sécurité du Médicament et des Produits de Santé).
There’s no need to be afraid because they do not present any danger: they fade away within a few days.
Some rare and mild side effects may include: oedema, redness, irritations, itching, erythema, slight bruising.
Then the active ingredient gradually takes over and provides a moisturizing and plumping effect (wrinkles and fine lines). As hyaluronic acid is absorbable, it naturally fades after 18 months, unlike botulinum toxin, whose effects dissipate after 4 months.
These reactions may be related to the poor quality of the product, the inexperience of the practitioner (who must be a doctor), or contraindications that were not respected (pregnancy, breastfeeding, autoimmune diseases, skin diseases, hyaluronic acid allergies, etc.). By choosing Maison Lutétia, you receive advice from the best experts in the field to avoid any of the above mentioned complications.
Unlike hyaluronic acid, Botox® does not restore skin volume. It smooths fine lines by softening facial muscle contractions. A botulinum toxin injection visibly relaxes features and erases frown lines, crow's feet, etc. The results last up to 6 months.
Hyaluronic acid injections have a filling action to harmonize features. They restore the skin's bounce, plumping up hollow areas and restoring volume to areas that have sagged over time, giving the face new contours.
Collagen is also called the "pillar of skin firmness.” A protein widely present in the human body responsible for tissue resistance and maintenance. To boost the production of neocollagen, it’s recommended to inject hyaluronic acid, which acts as a skin stimulant on loose areas.
Do not drink alcohol during the 48 hours preceding the session.
Avoid intense exposure to the sun the day before and on the day of the session.
Do not apply makeup or cosmetics to the area for 2 hours after treatment.
For 48 hours, it’s better to avoid alcohol, Aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, sun, saunas, and hammams.
Avoid doing as much as possible to mobilize your face for 24 to 48 hours.
During the first 6 hours, staying calm, resting, and abstaining from intense efforts is recommended.
Increasing the volume of the mouth brings charm and grace to the face. It’s also possible to smooth fine lines around the lips and correct asymmetry. At Maison Lutétia, we provide an exclusive injection technique, the "French Kiss," which gives the mouth natural enhancement and an elegant hemline.
They’re the leading cause of that tired look on your face. Hyaluronic acid injections are ideal for correcting these hollow areas and opening the eyes because they fill in the spots that lack volume. The plumped-up area catches the light better, and the eyes become brighter.
It’s the main focus of your face, so why not make it more beautiful? Correcting a small bump or a tip that has lowered with age is possible. Recessed areas are eliminated, the nose line regains harmony, and it becomes more asymmetric.
They give a sad and bitter look to your face! These grooves are formed from natural movements of the facial muscles caused by chewing, smiling, etc. Hyaluronic acid injections into the folds help tighten the tissues and plump up these folds that darken features.
These folds descend from the mouth, forming a kind of inverted smile. To remedy this, the doctor performs an injection far back in the face, bringing anchor points to the skin and providing a lifting effect. If the hollow areas are very deep, it’s possible to inject hyaluronic acid on the surface of the bitterness fold for a smoothing action.
They’re the key to youthful, plump features. Injected into the Bichat's ball, the fatty mass that makes the face round, hyaluronic acid in the cheeks brings the features back to life. Ideal for a fuller, younger look!
They guarantee facial harmony! But with age, cheekbones tend to flatten, which makes the features look tired. Hyaluronic acid injections into the cheekbones restore their shape and roundness. They’re also ideal for reshaping the face, with a natural "contouring" effect that makeup addicts are fond of.
In the case of a receding chin, i.e., one that is too far back, hyaluronic acid is used to give it a nice, curved shape. This medical genioplasty method also improves the face’s oval, thanks to its tensing effect on the skin. It’s also possible to redefine the mandibular line (also called jawline) for a more even profile.
Doctors are not obliged to inject the chin if it’s just the jawline that needs reshaping! Hyaluronic acid injections in the jawline bring elegance and character to the face and can masculinize a man's face that may be a little narrow.
Profiloplasty is the ideal procedure to rebalance the proportions of the face (nose, lips, oval, chin) to restore balance! It allows us to subtly modify and add volume to certain parts of the face, both in profile and in front. To soften a somewhat square face, the doctor can place a little hyaluronic acid in the center of the chin and deep down.
As we age, the skin loses volume at the temples, giving the face a skeletal appearance. These hollow areas can be filled using a temple procedure to restore a full face and enhance the eyes.
As for hyaluronic acid injections in the chest, they have been banned since 2011 by the French Health Security Agency as a precautionary measure because they would interfere with breast cancer screening. Our expert doctors have also chosen not to inject the buttocks, as the work involved is too great in comparison with the duration of the product.
