Hyaluronic acid
Dr. Handl, the expert for wrinkle treatments with hyaluronic acid
Skin changes and the first small lines appear on the face even before the age of 30. Over time, wrinkles change the natural facial expression more and more. Contours become blurred, and gravity makes the face look rounder. The loss of facial volume makes us look older. But there is a solution: hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a popular therapy for restoring facial volume and minimising wrinkles.
In Vienna, there are many ways of treating wrinkles with fillers. Although a healthy lifestyle and drinking enough water can delay the first signs of ageing in the face or slow down changes somewhat, this is not enough to stop wrinkles forming. An individually tailored treatment of wrinkles is therefore necessary. Facial expressions must be taken into account in order to achieve a natural result.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body that binds water in the skin, giving the skin of the face and body moisture and firmness. This property allows wrinkles to be filled in again. Hyaluronic acid fillers are used for nasolabial folds (the folds between the nose and the corners of the mouth), mentolabial folds (the folds between the lower lip and the chin), marionette lines (running down from the corners of the mouth to the lower jaw) and lip augmentation. Hyaluronic acid can also be used here to restore lost volume aesthetically.
In our practice in Vienna, fillers are used by experienced doctors. A treatment with HA is a safe and quick way to look younger and more vital. The treatment usually takes only a few minutes and is almost painless. The results are visible immediately and last for several months. However, regular top-ups are necessary to achieve an optimal result.
If you are interested in a hyaluronic acid treatment in Vienna, it is important to see an experienced doctor who can advise you comprehensively and take your individual needs into account. In Vienna, there are many doctors who specialise in hyaluronic acid fillers and can offer you a safe and professional treatment.
Treatment with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid wrinkle treatments are minimally invasive procedures that can lead to maximum results. They can support the natural appearance of the face and create a fresh, radiant overall impression.
Every treatment is preceded by an individual wrinkle analysis and a detailed consultation in which the treatment goals are defined together. Dr. Handl explains all treatment options to you on the basis of your individual requirements.
During the treatment, all treatment areas are pre-treated with a local anaesthetic cream and thoroughly cleaned. The treatment is carried out with hyaluronic acid, and depending on the treatment area, a different number of injections is made to apply the substance precisely. Patient reports show that the treatment is hardly perceived as painful.
After a short rest in the relaxing surroundings of our practice, you can go home straight away. The result develops fully within one week. If needed, you can come for a free follow-up appointment.
Hyaluronic acid has been tested in international studies worldwide and shows no long-term side effects. For your treatment, Dr. Handl uses only premium products containing lidocaine.
Preparation, risks and aftercare
Preparation
In the consultation, you and Dr. Handl discuss which areas will be treated and which result looks natural. After consulting us, avoid blood-thinning medication and alcohol for a few days beforehand, as this reduces bruising. If possible, come without make-up. Cooling and an anaesthetic cream are usually enough to numb the area.
Risks
Redness, swelling and small bruises at the injection sites are possible. Rarely, palpable nodules, slight asymmetries or delayed inflammatory reactions develop. Very rarely, the filler blocks a blood vessel, which must be treated immediately. Hyaluronic acid is similar to the body's own substances and can be dissolved again with an enzyme if necessary.
In the informed-consent consultation, Dr. Handl discusses all risks in detail and in relation to your personal situation.
Aftercare
You can go out in public again straight away. Cool the areas if needed, do not massage the treated areas and avoid saunas, sunbeds and strong heat for a few days. Sport is possible again the next day. If needed, a check-up takes place after about one week.
Frequently asked questions
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. It binds water and plumps up the skin, which makes it suitable as a filler. For aesthetic treatments, hyaluronic acid is nowadays produced in the laboratory under sterile conditions.
What are the advantages of hyaluronic acid fillers?
Injecting hyaluronic acid can create shapely, full lips. Uneven lips and asymmetries can be evened out. Hyaluronic acid is a proven product and the treatment is low-risk. Hyaluronic acid breaks down again by itself.
Is treatment with hyaluronic acid painful?
With local anaesthesia and very fine cannulas, we make sure that pain is kept to an absolute minimum.
When does treatment with hyaluronic acid make sense?
Hyaluronic acid can be used as a filler to treat wrinkles. The slight build-up of volume plumps up specific areas and smooths the complexion. Hyaluronic acid is also particularly well suited to plumping up or enlarging the lips.
What are the risks of treatment with hyaluronic acid?
Every procedure carries certain risks, but with gentle, minimally invasive methods they are very low. Swelling or small bruises may occur directly after the treatment, but these usually subside within 2–3 days. In the consultation, Dr. Handl informs you in detail about all the risks of the treatment method.
Does the injection leave a scar?
No, no scar remains at the injection site. The injection sites may still be slightly red directly after the treatment but are usually no longer visible the next day.
How long does the result last?
The result usually lasts about 3–7 months. After a few months, the hyaluronic acid is broken down again by the body itself.
