Hyaluronic acid treatment (filler)
Fillers are often used to fill in wrinkles. In dermatology, hyaluronic acid preparations are primarily used for this purpose; they are available in various degrees of cross-linking and concentrations to treat wrinkles of all depths. Hyaluronic acid treatment offers a wide range of benefits, including immediately visible skin tightening and hydration, since hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin and improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture.
How do wrinkles form and why does hyaluronic acid help combat them?
Wrinkles are caused by a combination of internal and external factors. As we age, the skin’s production of collagen and elastin slows down, causing it to lose firmness and elasticity. In addition, the skin’s hyaluronic acid content decreases, leading to a loss of moisture and making the skin appear less plump. External factors such as UV radiation, smoking, and environmental pollution accelerate this process and lead to premature skin aging and the formation of wrinkles.
An effective method for treating wrinkles is the use of hyaluronic acid products. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin and has the ability to bind large amounts of water. Injecting hyaluronic acid fillers can effectively fill in wrinkles and restore lost volume. This results in immediate skin tightening and provides long-lasting improvement in the skin’s appearance. Hyaluronic acid treatments are particularly popular because they are well tolerated and provide natural, long-lasting results. Targeted treatment with hyaluronic acid allows for optimal addressing of individual needs and varying wrinkle depths, resulting in an overall more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Hyaluronic acid treatment with injections
Hyaluronic acid treatment with injections is an effective method for reducing wrinkles and rejuvenating the skin, performed at the DERMIS Skin Clinic. Here you’ll find a detailed explanation of how the treatment works and why it’s so effective:
- First, a detailed consultation with a dermatologist takes place at the DERMIS Skin Clinic. During this consultation, your individual needs and expectations are discussed.
- The doctor explains the treatment procedure and answers all questions about hyaluronic acid treatment.
- The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove dirt and make-up.
- An anesthetic cream is often applied to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
- The doctor marks the treatment areas on the skin. These markings help ensure that the hyaluronic acid is injected precisely into the correct spots.
- The hyaluronic acid is injected directly under the skin using a fine needle.
- The depth and quantity of the injection vary depending on the type and depth of the wrinkles.
- The procedure usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas to be treated.
- After the injection, the treated area can be gently massaged to distribute the hyaluronic acid evenly. (Sometimes, however, you may not want to do this—e.g., omit this sentence)
- Any redness or swelling that may occur usually subsides within a few hours to days.
- The results are immediately visible. Wrinkles are filled in, and the skin looks firmer and fresher.
- The final result can be seen after about two weeks, when the hyaluronic acid is fully integrated.
- The results of a hyaluronic acid treatment usually last 6 to 12 months, depending on the product used and individual factors.
- Regular follow-up treatments at the Dermis Skin Clinic can prolong the effect and continuously improve the appearance of the skin.
Effectiveness:
- Hyaluronic acid injections are very effective in reducing wrinkles and improving skin texture.
- The treatment is minimally invasive, well tolerated and delivers immediately visible results.
- As hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin, it is easily absorbed by the body and slowly broken down.
Overall, hyaluronic acid treatment offers a safe and effective way to maintain a youthful and fresh appearance.
Which wrinkles are particularly suitable for treatment with hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid treatment is particularly effective at reducing various types of wrinkles and is frequently used at our clinic. Here are some areas where hyaluronic acid treatment is particularly beneficial:
These wrinkles extend from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are caused by the natural aging process and repeated movements of the facial muscles. The hyaluronic acid treatment can fill in these deep wrinkles and thus create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Wrinkles that run from the corners of the mouth toward the chin are often referred to as “sadness lines” or “Merkalt lines,” as they make the face look tired or sad. Injecting hyaluronic acid can effectively plump up this area, making the face appear friendlier and more vibrant.
Also known as pleated wrinkles, smoker’s lines, or radial upper lip wrinkles. These fine lines above the upper lip are caused by a loss of skin elasticity and frequent pursing of the lips. Hyaluronic acid helps smooth these wrinkles and improve skin texture.
Also known as crow’s feet. These fine lines appear around the eyes and are caused by smiling, squinting, and a loss of skin elasticity. A hyaluronic acid treatment can quickly and effectively eliminate these wrinkles, making the eye area look fresher and younger.
Hyaluronic acid treatment is a versatile and effective method for reducing various types of wrinkles and improving the appearance of the skin. At the DERMIS Skin Clinic, these treatments are always tailored to each individual to achieve natural and aesthetically pleasing results.

Hyaluronic acid for lips and cheekbone
Hyaluronic acid can not only be used to reduce wrinkles, but is also ideal for enhancing specific areas of the face, such as the lips and cheekbones.
In lip treatments, hyaluronic acid is used specifically to add volume, define the lip contours, and correct asymmetries. Lip fillers make the lips look more sensual and fuller, yet still natural. Hyaluronic acid provides additional moisture, making the lips softer and smoother.
The cheekbones can also be contoured with hyaluronic acid treatment. Precise injections are used to add volume, accentuate the cheekbones, and give the face a defined contour. This results in an overall firmer and more youthful appearance. Highlighting the cheekbones can also help make the face appear more harmonious and balanced.
