Wrinkles / wrinkle treatment by a specialist
Wrinkles occur during the ageing process due to decreasing skin elasticity, excessive muscle tension (mimic wrinkles such as the "frown line" - the wrinkle above the nose, between the eyebrows) due to the effects of gravity and loss of volume (e.g. the "nasolabial fold" between the corner of the mouth and nose).
There are always several approaches to wrinkle treatment. Depending on the cause and the area of the body, various treatment options are available, which can also be combined for an even better result.
As there are over 150 different products on the market for this purpose, it is necessary and extremely important that your doctor takes a critical look at these products in order to largely avoid undesirable effects.

Personal aesthetics passport
To ensure that you are safely and reliably informed about your treatment, we will provide you with your Personal Aesthetic Passport after your wrinkle treatment with fillers. All the products you have used can be documented there with the corresponding batch number. It is important to us that proof of the products used is not only kept by us, as was previously the case, but is also in your hands. Safety, quality and reliability are important to us! We therefore ask you to bring this passport with you to every treatment so that it can also be updated for further treatments.
Blunt needles (atraumatic needles)
Previously, injections were only carried out using cannulas with sharp tips in order to reach the tissue layers easily. A new technique using blunt cannulas for treatment has recently been introduced. This technique enables a special soft tissue-friendly application in the correct tissue layer. This advanced technique is used in particular for volume augmentation, "liquid" face lifts using the vector technique and lip modelling.
Permanent fillers
We do not use so-called permanent fillers in our practice. The potential risks and side effects are immense. From my many experiences in dealing with such complications, I can only strongly advise every patient against such treatments!
