The concept of beauty is intrinsically linked to the social and historical context of the world, and, as such, undergoes various transformations over time. In recent years, the use of fillers for aesthetic facial treatments, such as hyaluronic acid, for example, has grown considerably in Brazil and worldwide. Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule in our organism, located in the extracellular matrix, providing volume, support, hydration, and elasticity to the skin, acting as a dermal filler. In its injectable form, it can be used to mitigate the effects of natural facial aging. Although its hydrating properties are remarkable, there are risks of adverse effects, making a1profound understanding of facial anatomy essential to prevent them. This article aims to present data on hyaluronic acid, application sites, possible complications, overuse in facial harmonization, and ways to mitigate complications. This is a qualitative and exploratory literature review. The keywords used were: hyaluronic acid, facial aging, aesthetics, complications, facial fillers.

"It can be concluded that hyaluronic acid fillers are effective and safe when administered by an experienced and attentive professional, with the collaboration of the patient in following the guidelines.
