Wrinkle Treatment Using Hyaluron | Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Hyaluronic acid is a hygroscopic sugar compound which occurs naturally in the human body in sinews, ligaments, the skin, and in synovial fluid (in the joints) and lymphatic fluid. Using state-of-the-art methods, it can be synthesised in its purest form.

The Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has access to a number of preparations containing various concentrations of hyaluronic acid precisely focused on the respective application area. A wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid is tried and tested e.g. in these cases:

• Injection treatment of nasolabial folds
• Smoothing forehead wrinkles
• Filling the “marionette creases” which lead from the corners of the mouth down to the chin
• Filling tissue defects on and around the chin
• Extensive bolstering of tiny wrinkles in the cheek and eye area, the throat and the neck
• Treatment of aged backs of the hand
• Increase in lip volume
• and even for correcting the nose shape without surgery

Like all biological fillers, hyaluronic acid will eventually be absorbed by the body over time – the effect will become less. Modern preparations, however, show a duration of effect of up to 12 months. If needed, repeating a wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid is possible without any problems at the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

A wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid does not take long; depending on the area of application, a treatment session at the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery can be over after as little as 20 minutes or one hour. In order to prevent the risk of haematomas at the injection sites, patients should discontinue using blood-thinning medication before the treatment. Of course, we will advise you individually about any potential risks and side effects of a wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid in advance. The injection itself can take place under local anaesthesia. After disinfecting the injection site, we will use a very fine needle to inject the filler which has been adjusted individually for you into the respective skin layer: for deeper wrinkles, we will choose a preparation with a higher dosage that will exert more “leverage”; for tiny superficial wrinkles, a preparation with medium dosage will suffice.

A smoothing effect will be well visible at the treated areas after only a few minutes. Initially, the respective areas may still be somewhat swollen or reddened. Immediate cooling after the wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid is hence pleasant and will alleviate these symptoms quickly. Small haematomas at the injection sites are possible. Generally, you will already be presentable right after the treatment session. But you should not be wearing any make-up during the first two hours after the treatment with hyaluronic acid in order to avoid contaminating the injection sites.

We will be happy to inform you comprehensively in a detailed personal consultation about any potential risks as well as how we will proceed with our treatment at the Nürnberger Klinik for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in your individual case. Please feel free to contact us about this.

If you want to have a wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid performed, you should not have any acute infections (colds) nor take any antibiotics. Moreover, this treatment must not take place while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. No blood-thinning medication or pain killers (e.g. Aspirin) must be taken for at least 1 week before the treatment. If you are allergic to hyaluronic acid, the treatment can also not be carried through.

If you are not sure whether there is a contraindication in your case, the doctor will of course discuss this with you personally during the preliminary consultation.

As a rule, the hyaluronic acid, which is a skin filler with a long effect and medium-term degradation, will be absorbed by the body over the course of 3 to 12 months. How long exactly this will take depends on the product and material used. Naturally fluid hyaluronic acid, however, will degrade in the body after 1 day already. As a gel, the hyaluronic acid is to trigger the production of new collagen in the connective tissue so that the treatment effect is long-lasting.

The price for a wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid depends on the amount of material used. Depending on the desired treatment and the depth of the wrinkles, this will vary from patient to patient. Our experienced medical specialists only use high-quality hyaluronic acid fillers. During a comprehensive consultation, we will be happy to advise you about the costs of a wrinkle treatment with hyaluronic acid.

Only doctors are authorised to conduct a wrinkle treatment by injecting hyaluronic acid. It is very important that you only go to a doctor for your treatment who has already gathered comprehensive experience in this field. Please don't let yourself be deceived by some surprisingly low-priced offer.
