What is Ameela and how does it work?
Ameela is an injectable solution based on natural polymerised polynucleotides. It is a highly moisturising gel that restores skin firmness and elasticity by increasing the skin’s own collagen and reducing the loss of hyaluronic acid up to 40%.
It helps promote healthy skin, that is protected against cellular damage.

How quickly will I notice results?

The most common side effects of Ameela are swelling, redness, tenderness, slight headache, pain and/ or bruising, but these symptoms will usually pass in 1-2 weeks.
In rare cases, these symptoms last longer.
Other possible side effects include allergic reactions to the product. Although Ameela treatments in most cases do not cause allergies or complications, there is no guarantee against this.Ameela comes as a gel and if this is injected into a blood vessel, it can cause blockages. This happens extremely rarely in skilled medical hands, and should it happen, your doctor may be able to clear the blockage with a variety of techniques in the clinic.
