Wrinkle treatment – hyaluronic acid and botulinum
The first impression counts
Indication
As you get older, the skin on your face, neck and decolletage loses elasticity and tone. Muscles, connective tissue and fat deposits sag, resulting in blurred contours and visible wrinkles. The outward appearance often does not always correspond to the inner vitality.
If you feel fit, vital and youthful despite advancing age, you want to show this to the outside world. Wrinkle treatment helps to harmonise your inner feelings with your outer appearance.
Wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid and botulinum
In the case of dynamic wrinkles, such as laugh lines or frown lines, it makes sense to relax the relevant muscles with botulinum. The visible effect appears after 3 to 10 days and lasts for about 3 to 6 months.
Injections with hyaluronic acid are recommended for the reduction of static wrinkles, volume replacement or improvement of skin quality. The visible effect of hyaluronic acid occurs immediately or within 2 weeks and lasts for 6 to 18 months, depending on the region.
The aim is to achieve a harmonious, natural and rejuvenated appearance.

Frequently asked questions about wrinkle treatment
Why is authenticity important?
Our face is often the first thing people notice when they meet us and is usually the thing that sticks in their memory. The facial features reflect the uniqueness of each personality – the character, mood and unfortunately also the age can be recognised in the face. Preserving your authenticity is of great importance when treating wrinkles. Treatments should therefore be subtle and emphasise your natural beauty.
When is a treatment with botulinum or hyaluronic acid useful?
Treatment with botulinum or hyaluronic acid can be useful to harmonise facial features and to counteract and prevent the formation of wrinkles at an early stage.
Why do we often achieve excellent results?
Before treatment, it is important to clearly identify the anatomical problem and check whether a non-surgical treatment is the best option. This is one of the reasons why such treatments should ideally be carried out by plastic surgeons, to achieve the best results with botulinum or fillers. Only those who are proficient in aesthetic facial surgery are sufficiently familiar with the underlying anatomy and can also offer surgical alternatives.

Questions about botulinum
What is botulinum and how does it work?
Botulinum is a neurotoxin derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It blocks nerve impulses in the injected muscles, causing them to relax and smoothing out wrinkles, which also has a positive effect on facial expressions.
Which areas can be treated with botulinum?
Typical areas of application are forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes) and frown lines between the eyebrows.
Are there any side effects associated with botulinum injections?
Possible side effects may include swelling, bruising and, in rare cases, drooping eyelids.
How often should the treatment be repeated?
To maintain the desired results, regular treatments every 3 to 6 months are advisable.
To maintain the desired results, regular treatments every 3 to 6 months are advisable.
Yes, you can usually resume your normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, it is recommended to avoid sports activities and facial massages for 24 hours.
Questions about hyaluronic acid
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin that stores moisture and provides elasticity. In aesthetic medicine, it is used as a filler to compensate for volume loss and reduce wrinkles.
Which areas can be treated with hyaluronic acid?
Frequently treated areas are lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and the jawline. Hyaluronic acid can also be used for wrinkle treatment, skin hydration and to improve skin structure.
Who is suitable for a hyaluronic acid treatment?
The treatment is suitable for anyone who wants to even out volume loss, reduce wrinkles or harmonise facial features and has realistic expectations.
Is the treatment painful?
Most hyaluronic acid fillers contain a mild anesthetic. In addition, an anesthetic cream can be applied to minimise discomfort.
Are there any side effects?
Slight swelling, redness or bruising may occur after the treatment, but these usually subside within a few days.How does the treatment work?
After a personal consultation, hyaluronic acid is injected into the desired areas using a fine needle or a blunt cannula to enhance volume. The treatment usually takes 20 to 40 minutes.
Why do we often use ultra-high frequency ultrasound in our filler treatments?
This advanced technology enables more precise placement of the hyaluronic acid, customised to your anatomy. In addition, vessels can be visualised before treatment, which reduces the risk of complications.
The highest level of safety should always be guaranteed for aesthetic procedures with potential risks. Even if complications are rare, plastic surgeons can treat them optimally with the help of ultra-high-frequency ultrasound, among other things.
Can hyaluronic acid be combined with other aesthetic treatments?
Yes, hyaluronic acid can be combined with botulinum, PRP or exosome treatments to achieve optimal results.
