Wrinkle treatment with fillers: Fight aging with hyaluronic acid & co.

Wrinkle treatments become interesting for most men and women only after a certain age. Laugh lines, thinking lines, worry lines: In the first two or three decades of a person’s life, they are so fine that they are barely visible. But over time, they become deeper and more numerous. Nowadays, there are a variety of dermal fillers (including hyaluronic acid) for every region of the face and type of wrinkle. 

Injectable dermal fillers come in many forms. The best known is hyaluronic acid, which is a natural skin component. It is most frequently used in the treatment of wrinkles, we are talking about wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid.

Hyaluronic acid as a natural skin component is one of the most popular wrinkle fillers. Not only can hyauron reduce wrinkles, but it also restores the lost volume of the face and lips, improves the contours of the face and provides excellent hydration.

During wrinkle treatment with filler, hyaluronic acid or another filler is used to correct lip wrinkles (“smoker’s wrinkles”), vertical line wrinkles under the corners of the mouth (“marionette wrinkles”) and nasolabial folds.

Prior to wrinkle injections, I apply an anesthetic cream locally at the injection site, if needed. Most injectable implants contain lidocaine, a substance with local anesthetic effects, to make the process painless. Wrinkle injections with fillers are injected into the dermis of the skin (the layer of skin under the epidermis) using very thin needles or cannulas.

In the same way, hyaluronic acid injections can be performed in any area where you want to improve the skin quality, such as the décolleté area or the hands. Hyaluronic acid fillers are also ideal for increasing the volume of thin lips or restoring lost volume in areas such as the cheek, temple or chin. Filler can also be used to correct bags under the eyes and dark circles very well.

The results of filler treatment against wrinkles are visible immediately, but continue to improve over the course of 2-3 weeks after treatment.

Injectable hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan, a natural component of human skin, which is an excellent material for facial wrinkle treatment and lip injections. Under the skin, hyaluronic acid attracts water molecules and helps to better link collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, hyaluronic acid replaces the lost volume of the skin, reduces wrinkles, corrects pre-existing scars, improves the shape of the lips, moisturizes and tightens the skin. Injectable hyaluronic acid is an absorbable material and is degraded within 8-12 months.

At the end of the wrinkle treatment with filler, a slight irritation and swelling may occur, which may last 2-3 days. In rare cases, there may be some bruising, which will disappear in the next few days.

It is important to give the hyaluronic acid time to develop its full effect. In the beginning, fillers attract water, which gradually disappears. The swelling will then disappear completely and you will see the final results after about 2-3 weeks.

The effect is immediate and lasts for about 8-18 months depending on the material used, in some cases even longer. For maximum results, I often combine treatment with injectable fillers with thread lifting, laser treatments, radiofrequency therapy or mesotherapy.

Other preparations can also be considered for wrinkle treatment with fillers. There are some “volumizing” fillers which, compared to hyaluronic acid fillers, replace tissue volume loss while helping with skin rejuvenation by stimulating the body to produce collagen. These are composed of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA). Over time, the material is fully absorbed and the body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres, leaving behind its own natural collagen. Collagen stimulation peaks after 12 weeks, resulting in a final result that lasts up to 18 months. Fillers in this category lead to a significant improvement in skin quality and are therefore excellent for wrinkle treatment and simultaneous rejuvenation of the skin structure.
