Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic Acid

Volume enhancement for skin rejuvenation

A youthful looking face has rounded contours and high softly curved cheekbones, a clearly defined chin line and smooth curves that extend from the cheeks to the wings of the nose.
As we age, our body produces less natural hyaluronic acid. Facial volume fades. Our skin becomes drier and loses its resilience. The results are wrinkles beneath the eyes and in other parts of the face, along with sunken cheeks. In addition, the nasolabial folds and marionette lines become more prominent.

Previous treatment of decreased facial volume only involved the use of fillers. Our current treatments include the application of additional excellent products and techniques. Of particular mention here are the hyaluron preparations developed for an effect that lasts for up to twelve months and longer. They are applied in the deeper layers of the facial tissue and are even able to reach the underlying bone structures.

With this treatment, you can successfully fight the results of the ageing process. It is a completely natural way to make your skin look healthy and beautiful.

Depending on the diagnosis, the following indications can be treated with specific filler products:

  • Nasolabial folds/marionette lines
  • Smoker’s lines
  • Pleating lines around the lips
  • Lip plumping/Volume enhancement of the lips
  • Deep wrinkles at the corner of the mouth and nasal wings
  • Volume enhancement on cheeks and chin
  • Earlobes
  • Therapy of rings around the eyes

Depending on the specific indication of the individual case, volume enhancement can be achieved with EMERVEL® (VOLU- ME®, DEEP®, LIPS®, TOUCH®) or JUVEDERM® (VOLUMA®, VOLIFT®, VOLBELLA®, ULTRA3® and ULTRA4®).

Treatment Procedure

The dermal filler is injected in the designated area with a fine needle or blunt cannula. The treatment is practically painless, since the products contain a local anaesthetic.
Patients do not have to plan any downtime. You can carry on with social events or professional responsibilities on the same day. Hyaluronic acid is naturally decomposed by the body. Depending on the product, the effect lasts for 8-18 months. We recommend a corresponding follow-up treatment in accordance with your desired results.

Eliminating lines on neck and décolleté

Damage due to exposure to the sun is most noticeably visible on the face, neck, décolleté and hands. In order to eliminate these signs of ageing, different types of hyaluron products can be combined. This can be supplemented with a laser treatment. For mimic lines, a combination with the additional use of botulinum (Botox®) can provide the desired results.

Skin booster for sagging skin

When we age, our skin loses its ability to retain moisture. The skin seems to slack. Special hyaluronic acid injections, injected across the surface of the skin and which combine a low-consistency active substance with good moisture retention capacity, present an ideal therapy.
For this treatment to have a long-lasting effect, it should be repeated after six weeks and again after six months.

Therapying dark circles below the eyes

Many of us already suffer from tired-looking eyes with dark circles around the eye area as early as our late thirties. These can be caused by natural changes to the bone structure of the skull, genetic factors, excessive sunlight, cigarette smoking and not enough sleep. There are a wide range of applications using hyaluronic acid that can counter this. Low-consistency preparations are injected across a larger surface to lift the brow area, to make your eyes larger and brighter again. Volume is injected into dark tear troughs to make them look rested again. Your eyes are clear and open wider. This treatment is ideally suited in combination with fractionated laser therapy (the Fraxel laser/Fraxel CO2 laser).


Radiesse®

AUGMENTATION
WITH RADIESSE®

Stimulation of the natural skin collagen

Our dermal cells produce increasingly less natural hyaluronic acid and collagen fibres with age. The result is dehydration and diminishing cell renewal. The elasticity of the skin decreases, deeper wrinkles “carve” themselves into the face. The fatty tissue of the subcutaneous layer also undergoes changes. Deficits in volume consequently lead to the formation of sunken cheeks.

Radiesse® counteracts this process. In contrast to treatments with hyaluronic acid fillers (see also fillers), it not only effectively eliminates deep wrinkles, but also fills out sunken cheeks.  The special gel matrix in Radiesse® provides an immediately visible effect, while finest calcium microspheres effectuate the targeted stimulation of the skin’s natural collagen production. Facial contours are toned and your skin gains new volume. In a single sitting, the youthful V-form of your face is restored with just a few needle pricks.

Radiesse® is one of the so-called temporary implants. Numerous clinical studies have proven that the body completely eliminates the active substances injected over the course of time. At the same time, Radiesse® stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production. Due to the effectiveness and safety of this treatment, Radiesse® is also one of the few dermal fillers approved for use in the USA.


Skin Booster

SKINBOOSTER FOR
IMPROVED SKIN QUALITY

The moisture-binding capacity of our skin decreases with age. The skin can appear rough and dull and lose its vitality due to failing resiliency. A series of treatments with specially formulated hyaluronic acid can help restore and sustainably maintain skin texture that is nurtured and dewy. The so-called Skin Booster contains a stabilised hyaluronic acid formula that is injected over an extensive area into the deepest layers of the skin. The stabilised formula consequently serves as a moisture-retaining depot for the structure of the skin. In contrast to the superficial application of facial creams, this provides the skin with optimal care.

The unique and highly effective Restylane Skin Booster concept not only reduces signs of premature skin ageing, it also significantly improves the structure of mature skin.

The treatment with Restylane Skin Booster has an extensive skin-hydrating effect that lasts up to one year. This differentiates the treatment from that of hyaluron fillers, which are predominantly suited to fill lines and enhance volume.

The result of the treatment is skin with maximum resilience, structure, firmness and hydration. It supplies the deeper skin layers with sufficient moisture. This consequently leads to radiant-looking skin and has a positive effect on skin quality.

Restylane Skin Booster provides a wide range of treatment options for young or mature skin – they are suited for face, neck, décolleté, knees, elbows and hands. The structure-improving Skin Booster can also benefit very dry or UV-damaged skin.

In order to achieve the best possible results, the application of Skin Booster can even be combined with other therapies like, for example, laser or hyaluronic acid fillers. The effectiveness and the excellent aesthetic results of treatments using Restylane Skin Booster have been documented in extensive clinical studies.
The full therapeutic effect of Restylane Skin Booster is achieved in a step-by-step process that requires several treatment sessions.

The Restoration Phase

The restoration phase should begin with three restoration treatments in intervals of two to four weeks. Effects of Restylane Skin Booster can usually be seen directly after the first treatment, with full results achieved only after two to three restoration treatments.

The Touch-Up

For long-lasting results after improved skin quality is achieved in the restoration phase, and according to the type of treatment and condition of the skin, we recommend about two touch-up treatments per year.
