Wrinkle treatment (filler)

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in all living organisms. It binds water in the tissue. In this way, hyaluronic acid fulfills a variety of functions. For example, it gives shape to the eyes, elasticity to the joints and volume and elasticity to the skin. In its natural form, hyaluronic acid is broken down very quickly by the body. However, by slightly changing the structure of hyaluronic acid, stabilization can be achieved, which means that the substance remains in the tissue for a longer period of time.

There are various hyaluronic acid preparations. The various preparations differ slightly in the way they are manufactured. The prevention-center uses preparations from the Restylane®, Juvederm® and Macrolane® series. These products are manufactured without the use of animal-based ingredients and are optimally matched to each other. To date, several million people worldwide have been treated with these products.

The filling material is injected in tiny amounts into the skin under the wrinkle to be corrected or into the lip and along the lip contours using a thin needle. Most facial wrinkles can be easily improved with a single treatment. Wrinkles in the mouth region occasionally require two to three treatments within a few weeks for optimal results.

Depending on the client’s sensitivity to pain, the treatment may cause slight pain. The correction of wrinkles in the forehead or nasolabial folds is usually tolerated without local anesthesia. In individual cases, local anaesthetic creams can be applied one hour before the treatment. As a rule, slight discomfort occurs in the first two to three days after the treatment, which is due to the injections.

Please let us know before a treatment with fillers,

• if other wrinkle treatment products have already been used on you (many products cannot be combined with each other)
• if you have taken blood-thinning medication within the last 7 days before treatment (e.g. medication containing acetylsalicylic acid, vitamin E or gingko-containing medication or preparations, including multivitamin preparations). This increases the risk of bruising (haematoma) after treatment – if you occasionally suffer from cold sores (treatment in the relevant area can trigger a new flare-up)
• if you have a known allergy to injectable filling materials
• if you are pregnant or breastfeeding (treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended)

Many customers have wrinkle injections at the end of the day or lip injections before the weekend. If any minor irritations are also covered up afterwards, the treatment is generally not noticed by work colleagues, for example, apart from the desired positive effect.

Lanluma can be used to optimize various parts of the body in a minimally invasive way, including the buttocks, thighs and arms. By injecting Lanluma, we can improve the shape, volume and firmness of these areas. Stretch marks, cellulite and post-operative atrophy or lipoatrophy can also be treated effectively.

After the treatment, it is important to massage the treated area for about ten minutes every day for up to two weeks after the last session. You should also avoid direct sunlight for 10 days after the injection and refrain from going to the sauna or swimming pool for about a week. Physically strenuous activities should also be avoided during this time.

Jawline

Treatment of the jaw-chin line, also known as the jawline, is suitable for defined facial contours. By injecting hyaluronic acid, sagging areas of the face can be visually tightened and lifted. It is also possible to make the jawline appear smaller through targeted correction. In men, on the other hand, jawline contouring can be used to emphasize the jaw, giving the face a more masculine appearance.

Cheeks

Unwanted wrinkles on the cheeks, which often stretch across the entire center of the face like a net, often make those affected look older than they actually are. They form over time, especially in people who suffer from dry skin and spend a lot of time in the sun. Cheek wrinkles can be optimally corrected with a gentle correction using hyaluronic acid. By adding volume to the cheeks using hyaluronic acid, we can also achieve more defined facial contours.

Nose

As an alternative to rhinoplasty surgery, a precise injection using hyaluronic acid is an ideal way of smoothing out slight imperfections. Thanks to this minimally invasive treatment method, the surgical risks associated with conventional rhinoplasty can be avoided. As hyaluronic acid degrades by itself after a certain period of time, it is also possible to reverse the results of the treatment. This would, of course, not be possible with a surgical procedure. Unwanted nose wrinkles, also known as bunny lines, can also be easily corrected with an injection. A gentle injection into the muscle responsible for the wrinkles reduces its activity – with the effect that the wrinkles are visibly smoothed out.

Chin

So-called chin wrinkles, which often cause a grim or older facial expression, can be visibly corrected by injecting hyaluronic acid or by treating wrinkles with gentle injections. The wrinkle that usually runs across the chin or the wrinkles that run across the entire chin like a grid can be treated in a targeted manner – for a more youthful appearance. If the chin is receding, hyaluronic acid can also be used to build up missing volume. The chin is optically projected forward so that a profile that is optimally adapted to the proportions of the face is achieved.
