Lip Filler

The sensation of pain is individual and depends on the area of treatment. Most patients do not experience the injection of HA fillers as painful. The use of a numbing cream at the injection site prior to treatment may be recommended by the physician to minimise discomfort during the cosmetic procedure.

Yes, the results are visible shortly after the treatment and continue to improve over the course of a few days. Within no time you can expect a natural, radiant complexion which makes make-up application and skin care a lot easier.

Hyaluronic acid is a volumising substance produced naturally by our organism. It is a major component of connective tissue and responsible for the hydration, elasticity and protection of our dermis. In addition to its healing and anti-inflammatory properties, hyaluronic acid reactivates the number and functioning of fibroblasts that are responsible for collagen production. However, as we age, our bodies tend to produce less hyaluronic acid, which can lead to a loss of volume. Therefore, this type of filler has been used as a skinbooster in aesthetic medicine for years.

Commonly used in varying concentrations, hyaluronic acid injections offer a versatile approach for treating nasolabial folds, marionette lines, smile lines and performing midface rejuvenation. Additionally, the injectable fillers can be successfully used for augmentation – specifically as lip fillers or for the enhancement of the cheekbones or the jawline.

Furthermore, they are applied to smooth expression lines and reduce dark circles in the under-eye area as well as for nose correction (rhinoplasty). The same goes for tear troughs and sunken lower eyelids which can be ideally treated with hyaluron fillers.

The treatment goal determines which layer of the skin the filler is injected into. In some cases, such as with advanced facial wrinkles, a combination of hyaluronic acid with other treatment options such as a muscle relaxant might prove useful. Your physician will give you an individual consultation to achieve optimal results.

As with any medical procedure, risks and side effects can occur. Rare adverse effects include allergic reactions and herpes reactivation. Your specialist will inform you about possible risks and how to minimise them.
