Depending on the genetic disposition, ageing processes cause a subsidence of areas in the face due to the reduced elasticity in the connective tissue. This in turn, leads to the formation of so-called static, in other words movement-independent wrinkles which may impair a person’s charisma.

But also external factors which depend on the life-style and circumstances of life – such as sun and UV radiation, nicotine, amount of sleep and the quantity of liquid intake per day – of course have a considerable influence on the appearance of the skin. All of these factors may lead to a quicker and then by far more pronounced development of wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid injections against the signs of ageing of the skin

Hyaluronic acid injections have a double effect on the treatment of wrinkles and local tissue deficits: On the one hand, volume is balanced and the naturalness and elasticity of the skin is restored, and on the other hyaluronic acid with its ability to bind water improves the water household (hydration) of the skin.

By applying this method, injections with hyaluronic acid not only fill wrinkles locally, but also improve the quality of the subcutis. These nourishing components of the hyaluronic acid injection entail excellent sustainability effects and lead to a long-lasting build-up. Last but not least, ageing processes and changes in the face are considerably reduced and a prophylactic effect as a result of hyaluronic acid is noticed in the majority of cases after several treatments.

Typical areas which are easily accessed in the scope of a correction by hyaluronic acid are the nasolabial wrinkles and the wrinkles under the corners of the mouth (so-called marionette lines). Low cross-linked hyaluronic acids can fill extremely effectively upper lip wrinkles, cheek wrinkles or wrinkles in the chin area. Hyaluronic acids developed particularly for the mouth region are able to lift the wrinkles around the mouth, even lip contour treatments achieve beautiful effects. This will give you an extremely natural, wrinkle-free appearance with an autologous substance which can be applied as a rule without any side effects at all.

If an accentuation of cheekbones is desired, or if local tissue deficits on the cheeks are to be balanced, a higher cross-linked hyaluronic acid is the method of choice – in this case, the cheek is lifted in its entirety, volume deficits are balanced and your appearance remains natural.
