Hyaluron Treatments

What are the areas of application?

The classic application area for hyaluronic acid wrinkle injections is the lower third of the face, including the following areas: nasolabial folds (folds between the nose and corners of the mouth), lip wrinkles (also called perioral wrinkles), marionette lines (the fold between the corner of the mouth and the chin), the fold on the upper lip (known as smoker's lines). Hyaluronic acid is also used to make lips, cheeks, chin, and nose more voluminous. However, the application areas of hyaluronic acid go beyond this. In addition to facial tightening, targeted wrinkle injections can also counteract the signs of skin aging on the hands and décolleté. Wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid are low-risk and effective. We offer various hyaluron treatments in Berlin.

Treatment with hyaluronic acid is popular not only in cosmetic medicine due to its diverse treatment options – with the active ingredient, a natural and significant effect can be achieved in a low-risk and non-invasive procedure. Natural results await you after a short treatment period: fresh, youthful, harmonious, and radiant. In wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid in Berlin, medium to deep wrinkles are gently filled and the volume of certain skin areas is increased.

In contrast to Botox injections, all wrinkles caused by loss of elasticity (age-related) and sagging connective tissue can be specifically filled and corrected with hyaluron-based fillers. The cost of a hyaluronic acid treatment depends on the amount of material needed and the area to be treated. In addition, different hyaluronic acid preparations are used for injections in different application areas, which is also reflected in the costs.

Small deviations from the costs due to individual circumstances and anatomy are possible, however. A combination with Botox is also possible. We would be happy to advise you in detail on all possibilities of hyaluron treatments in our practice in Berlin.

How long does the effect of the treatment last?

The effect of the hyaluron treatment is immediately visible. The effectiveness achieved in patients is maintained for 6–12 months, depending on stability. A refresh can then be done without further delay.

Costs of a treatment with hyaluron in Berlin

The costs of a hyaluron treatment vary depending on the scope of the treatment and the materials required and therefore cannot be given as a flat rate. When choosing a doctor, however, you should filter by experience rather than price. I will advise you optimally in my practice in Berlin so that together we can find the right treatment for your wishes.

Various applications of hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a truly comprehensive tool for wrinkle treatment. The preparation can be used to smooth wrinkles, replace lost volume, tighten contours, and reshape lips. Hyaluronic acid fillers are mainly used in the face – but other body regions can also be filled with hyaluronic acid injections. Compared to botulinum toxin, results are visible immediately after hyaluronic acid treatment.

How does a hyaluronic acid treatment in Berlin work?

Hyaluronic acid is used as a filler for many problem areas and is often combined with Botox for a comprehensive anti-aging treatment. Since a young face is primarily characterized by the typical "V" between the cheekbones and chin, it tends to sag more and more over the course of life. Lift the cheekbones for a more youthful appearance. With increasing age, there is often a shift or loss of fatty tissue in the transition zone between the eye socket and the cheek. Therefore, modern wrinkle and volume treatments do not necessarily treat the so-called problem areas, but rather the patient's face as a complex unit.

Problem areas lead to so-called "tear troughs" which cause a tired facial expression. In this case, our specialists work with a long and blunt cannula. During the treatment, fillers are injected from the zygomatic arch into the affected eye area (tear trough). The procedure has the advantage that there are practically no bruises.

My specialists and I will discuss the optimal options and therapies with you. This way, you will find the right hyaluronic acid treatment in Berlin that perfectly suits you!

Less material – For more naturalness

Unfortunately, even today, many providers of hyaluronic acid treatments still follow the motto "more is more." In this setting, as many injections as possible are performed in one session. The danger of this type of procedure: hyaluronic acid gradually binds to water, so the respective area "blooms" and increases tenfold in volume over a certain period. The result of these failed treatments is a disfigured face, swollen lips, and an unnatural mask-like appearance. I actively oppose this dangerous trend and advocate for a careful and responsible use of hyaluronic acid.

With more than 7 years of experience in plastic surgery, I achieve defined facial contours and volume with just a few injections – for a natural, wrinkle-free appearance without a masking effect. In my practice, you place your beauty in professional and reliable hands.

Different hyaluronic acid products

Depending on the application, effect, and treatment area, we have different types of hyaluronic acid fillers in Berlin. The gels differ in their density zones and can also be used in combination. For example, a rather fine substance is needed to gently smooth fine lines, while a stiffer substance is needed to create nasolabial folds and narrow the lips and achieve the desired lifting effect. Attention: We advise all patients not to have permanent fillers like Aquamid injected by amateurs. This filler can cause chronic inflammation and long-term complications.

Aftercare: These things you should consider after your treatment

Immediately after the hyaluronic acid injection, you can resume your normal daily routine – no downtime is required, but the treated areas may swell slightly. You can gently cool them after the treatment by moistening a cloth with cold water. Avoid cooling with cooling pads or other items from the refrigerator or freezer, or wrap the ice pack additionally in a dish towel before holding it to your skin. If the treated areas are cooled too much, this increases blood circulation to the skin and promotes bruising.

Also, do not wear make-up for the first few hours. Avoid hot showers or baths for up to 48 hours after the treatment. Strenuous activities are also taboo during this time. Sports activities can be resumed without problems in about three days, but you should avoid saunas and sunbathing for about two weeks. Whether summer or winter: When you go out for the first time, apply a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor to prevent pigment disorders.

If your lips have been injected with hyaluronic acid, you should not smoke for four hours after the treatment and avoid hot food and drinks. Avoid kissing your partner for the first 24 hours to avoid unnecessarily increasing the risk of infection. From the third day, when the swelling has subsided, it is recommended to gently massage the lips to dissolve the small nodules and to better distribute the substance. In addition, it is recommended to drink a lot, as hyaluronic acid can thus achieve its optimal effect.
