Slight wrinkles do not need to be surgically removed. Wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid can be used to correct age-related fine lines or small scars. At the same time, the skin’s moisture content is improved, giving it new elasticity and suppleness.
Hyaluron is a substance produced naturally in the body that binds water to keep the skin supple and elastic. As a natural effect of the ageing process, the skin gradually loses its elasticity and volume. This is because the body’s ability to regenerate is reduced with age and important components of the skin, such as the water and hyaluronic acid content, are no longer formed frequently. As a result, lines and wrinkles develop over time into so-called age wrinkles.
If the hyaluronic acid is injected into the corresponding areas of the face, it can bind water there again and plump up the skin in a natural way. Age wrinkles are most common in the lower face, cheeks, lips and eyes.
When injecting the lips, for example, we achieve a reduction in perioral wrinkles, build up the edges of the lips and can also optimize the red of the lips.
The effect of hyaluronic acid must be renewed approximately every 6-12 months for optimal results. The treatment takes place on an outpatient basis in our practice and is painless and scar-free. If you are interested, please contact us and make an appointment. With the help of a skin examination, we can quickly determine whether treatment with hyaluronic acid is an option. You can find more information on the areas of application of botulinum toxin A and hyaluronic acid on our blog.
We differentiate between lip volume enhancement and contouring. Hyaluronic acids are used in both cases. After augmentation of the lips, swelling can be expected to vary from person to person for a few hours. We recommend slight cooling.
