Hyaluronic acid

1. Principle of action: Hyaluronic acid is an integral part of the human connective tissue and binds water molecules in the skin and thus bolsters up (hydrates) the connective tissue of the skin. Application of hyaluronic acid into the skin enhances the ability to bind water in the skin, so the connective tissue appears firmer.

2. Used Materials:

• Hyaluronic acid in different densities (highly conjugated hyaluronic acid) is used for the treatment of deep furrows and wrinkles of the naso-labial fold, the mouth, cheeks or to flatten depressed scars.
• Hyaluronic acid (non-conjugated) can also be used for „biorevitalisation“ of the skin, for fine lines on the cheeks and the chest (V-neck) as well as wrinkles around the eyes.
• We exclusively use genetically enginieered hyaluronic acid.

3. Indikations: Wrinkles, fine lines, scars

4. Preparation: Prior to the treatment of more sensitive areas, a local anesthetic ointment should be applied for 30min-1 hour. During your first visit with us, we will prescribe this ointment for you, so you can apply it at home (and come prepared); you may also apply it here and then wait in our waiting area.

5. What to expect: Immediately after the traetment, hemorrhage at the injections sites, small crust formation, swelling, redness and bruising might occur.

6. Side-effects: In rare cases, small nodules or strands might be palpable under the skin or even appear as white areas through the skin. Very rarely, these nodules become encapsulated and might require surgical removal. Sometimes 'over-corrections' occur, leading to a bulge in the skin which usually dissapears within a short time.

7. The durability depends on the product used (highly conjugated hyaluronic acid lasts longer than non-conjugated one), mimic action of the treated area, patient's age (durability is longer in younger patients), amount of repeat treatments (typically, durability is enhanced with more treatments as skin regenerates better) and thus, effects last between 4-9 months.
