Gentle wrinkle treatment
Aesthetic medicine
In
our specialist aesthetic medicine session, we offer you a professional
treatment of wrinkles, droopy eyelids and other cosmetically bothersome
changes, especially in the area of the face, neck and hands.
The
goal of the treatment at the Augenzentrum Höfe is to meet your
aesthetic needs minimally invasively with the minimum amount of work,
without any significant side effects, and with a concept tailored to
your individual needs at a fair price.
PD Dr.
med. Wegner particularly specialises in gentle and minimally invasive
treatment of age-related changes in the skin (rejuvenation).
PD
Dr. med. Wegner has many years of further training and outstanding
practical experience in this specialist field, in particular also at
university level. For colleagues who also follow the path of aesthetic
medicine, PD Dr. med. Wegener, with his many years of experience is a
tutor, and, as part of the European Excellence Initiative in
Ophthalmology, is also an examiner.
Gentle applications
Gentle, non-surgical methods for the elimination of age-related changes in the skin have become increasingly mainstream.
Wrinkle
treatment with botulinum (Botox) and wrinkle injection by injection
with biodegradable fillers, which are recreated from endogenous
hyaluronan, have proven to be successful methods over many years.
Filler
Over
the last few years, the constant further development of these
substances has also contributed to a broadening of the application
fields beyond enhanced tolerability. Depending on the tissue alteration
and tissue condition, different fillers with a different spectrum of
activity are available. Skilful use of these active substances is the
key to your treatment success.
Active ingredients
Because
of their very good efficacy and tolerability, predominantly
biodegradable fillers, such as hyaluronan, an endogenous substance,
which is degraded by the body after a certain time (similar to
endogenous collagen) are used in aesthetic medicine nowadays.
Areas of application
Fillers
are introduced to pump up the affected tissue to compensate for loss of
substance; it is wrinkles that are usually "filled". This results in a
visible smoothing of wrinkles, and the elasticity of your skin increases
again.
Typical areas of application are:
- Facial wrinkles
- Glabellar creases (frown lines)
- Lip shaping
Onset of effect
The effect occurs immediately, although at first a slight overcorrection may be observed.
After possible injection-induced skin irritations have subsided, the desired compensation for the substance defect sets in.
Duration of effect
The
effect of hyaluronic acid is prolonged and lasts between 6 - 12 months.
Hyaluronic acid is slowly degraded by the body. The duration of the
effect depends on age, skin type, habits, muscle activity and material
used.
Quality standard
At
Augenzentrum Höfe, only high-quality, original products, which have
been tested and approved according to Swiss standards, are used by a
surgically experienced specialist, who has been specially trained for
filler treatments.
Side effects
Treatment-related
reactions such as swelling, reddening, pain, itching, discolouration
and sensitivity at the treatment site are rare and generally disappear
by themselves after 1-2 days.
General tips
Filler treatment is well-tolerated when skilfully applied.
As with any medical application, side effects are also possible with principally well-tolerated substances.
During our consultation, we will evaluate and discuss your personal risk profile.
