Croma-Pharma is a family-owned pharmaceutical company committed to improving people’s well-being through the development and distribution of innovative products in aesthetic dermatology. Croma-Pharma produce Princess fillers which is a Hyaluronic acid based injectable of non-animal origin. It is developed to treat a wide range of cosmetic indications and has proven to correct wrinkles, folds and scars, replenish facial volume, augment the lips and also hydrate and rejuvenate the skin.

How does it work?

As the face ages, the skin begins to lose hyaluronic acid, collagen and it’s elasticity as well as subcutaneous fat. As a result, with repetitive movements of the facial muscles and with the inevitable force of gravity, wrinkles form the face loses volume and the skin sags and droops. The main component of the dermal fillers we use is hyaluronic acid and we are therefore simply replacing the hyaluronic acid naturally lost by the body. The fillers come in a gel form, and are injected through a tiny needle. This is followed by gentle massage to ensure a smooth result and the results are instantaneous. The newly injected hyaluronic acid attracts water and integrates with the surrounding collagen restoring the youthful facial appearance.

Does it hurt?

The treatment takes about 15-30 minutes, and depending on the patient’s pain threshold we can either numb the skin with a topical cream or completely numb the area with a local anaesthetic block, similar to those given by dentists, therefore giving the patient a completely pain free and relaxing treatment.

How long do the effects last?

This varies but the results can last for as long as 6 months, although experience has shown us that the effects can last much longer with repeat treatments.
