HYALURONIC ACID
(FILLER)
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin that binds moisture, plumps the tissue, and supports the skin structure. In aesthetic medicine, biotechnologically produced fillers are injected to fill wrinkles, sculpt contours, or restore volume to lips, cheeks, or other areas of the face.

Q&A
Are there any limitations after the treatment?
Light physical activity is usually possible immediately, but strenuous exercise or sauna/solarium use should be avoided for 24–48 hours.
Is the treatment painful?
Most fillers contain a local anesthetic, so the treatment is only minimally uncomfortable.
Are there any side effects?
Temporary redness, swelling, small bruises or slight sensitivity at the injection sites are possible, but usually subside within a few hours to days.
How long does a session last?
Typically 20–60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated and the desired result.
What is the difference to botulinum toxin?
Hyaluronic acid plumps and shapes volume, while Botox relaxes the muscles to smooth out expression lines.
