Causes & solution

Volume, contour, hydration - the triple effect of hyaluronic acid

With increasing age, the natural content of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin in the skin decreases. This results in sunken areas, diminishing contours and wrinkles. The targeted injection of cross-linked hyaluronic acid can compensate for volume deficits, harmonize contours and smooth wrinkles – without impairing facial expressions.

Differentiation
from botulinum toxin (e.g. Botox®): While hyaluronic acid fills and shapes, botulinum toxin primarily reduces wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Botulinum toxin may therefore be the better choice for forehead/ frown lines or crow’s feet – ideal for pronounced expression lines.

Treatment method

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar building block produced naturally in the body that binds water and thus provides fullness and elasticity. Cross-linked HA gel is used in aesthetic medicine.

We use different hyaluronic gels: Some are firmer and shaping (good for contouring), others softer and smoother (ideal for fine lines, as a “skin booster”). Depending on the region, we choose the product that looks natural and lasts well.

Typical areas of application (depending on gel properties)

Cheeks & cheekbone

firmer, "wearable" gel for volume build-up and a slight lifting effect.

Jawline & Chin

Very dimensionally stable gel for clearer contours and profile definition.

Lips

softer, elastic gel for shape, contour and moisture - with natural movement when speaking and laughing.

Nasolabial & marionette lines

Medium thickness for visible smoothing, without "sticking".

Fine lines/creases

(e.g. cheeks, mouth area) very gentle gel for subtle, even smoothing.

Tear trough*

particularly soft, special gel - only used by very experienced practitioners, carefully and in thin layers.

*Note: The area under the eyes is sensitive; experience and technique are particularly important here.

Security: Can be dissolved again if required

Hyaluronic fillers can be removed again if necessary – for example, if something has been over-corrected or bumps/nodules appear. We use hyaluronidase, an enzyme that specifically breaks down hyaluron.

Only applies to hyaluronic fillers (other fillers cannot be dissolved in this way).
– The dissolution should be carried out by a doctor and is performed by experienced specialists.

Possible combinations

Hyaluron can be combined with Ultherapy® – deep-acting tightening – if tissue tension decreases; Sculptra® is suitable for biostimulation.

Results & durability

The immediate effect is visible directly after the treatment; small swellings subside in the first few days, so that the result looks particularly harmonious after 1-2 weeks. The BfArM provides a central guideline: degradable fillers (e.g. hyaluronic acid) are effective for up to around 2 years depending on the product; the actual duration depends on the region, product characteristics and individual metabolism, among other things. (Source: BfArM)

Why the range is so wide

The German Society for Aesthetic Botulinum and Filler Therapy (DGBT) points out that there are very different hyaluronic acid preparations (e.g. different degrees of cross-linking and viscosities; some with added local anesthetic), which have a significant influence on the area of application and durability – lips often require softer gels with a shorter shelf life, areas such as cheeks/jowls tend to require products that retain their shape. (Source: dgbt.de)

Safety note

In Germany, there is an AWMF recommendation on the management of complications after filler injections for the rare case of side effects or the need for correction, which defines the structured procedure (e.g. for vascular events, nodules, etc.) – another reason to have such treatments performed by a specialist (Source: AWMF)

Supplement treatment sensibly

  • HydraFacial® as preparation for an even surface and better light reflections
  • PRP to improve skin quality/fine structure
  • For predominantly mimic wrinkles: Botulinum toxin.

Your recovery is important to us

Aftercare & progression

  • Avoid sport, sauna and intense heat.
  • Do not massage or press the treated areas.
    Make-up can be applied again after a short time.
  • Slight swelling or small bruises are normal and usually subside quickly.
  • The result appears more harmonious from day to day as soon as the initial swelling subsides.

Rare risks - and how we prevent them

  • Early, mostly mild reactions: Redness, swelling, hematomas.
  • Rare events: Nodule formation, vascular complications.
  • Our safety approach: tested preparations, sterile working methods and precise injection techniques by experienced specialists – this is how we minimize risks as much as possible.
