Dermal Fillers (Hyaluronic Acid)

Hyaluronic-acid dermal fillers add volume, definition and hydration where the face has flattened or where lines have deepened — cheeks, lips, jawline, tear troughs and nasolabial folds. At Ästhetik Institut Berlin the treatment is performed by a specialist physician who plans the result with you so proportions stay balanced and natural. Hyaluronic acid is a substance the body produces naturally, results are visible immediately, and the gel can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if an adjustment is ever wanted.

Dermal fillers based on cross-linked hyaluronic acid are used to restore volume and refine contour across the face. Because age-related volume loss in the cheeks, temples, chin and jawline is part of what drives sagging and deepening folds, replacing that volume in the right places often does more for a refreshed appearance than treating individual lines alone. At Ästhetik Institut Berlin the physician assesses the face as a whole and proposes an approach measured in millilitres or by treatment area — from a 0.5 ml refinement up to fuller cheek volumetry, with dedicated options for lips, tear troughs, jawline and a non-surgical nose correction. Numbing cream is applied first and most filler products also contain lidocaine for comfort. The gel is placed with a fine needle or a blunt cannula depending on the area; results are visible immediately and continue to settle over one to two weeks as any initial swelling resolves. Mild swelling, tenderness or small bruises are normal for a few days. Hyaluronic-acid results typically last in the region of several months up to about a year depending on the product and the area treated before the gel is naturally broken down. A key advantage of hyaluronic acid is that it can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which allows a result to be adjusted or reversed. Fillers may suit adults noticing flattening of the cheeks, a less defined jaw or chin, deepening nasolabial folds, hollow under-eyes or wanting subtle lip enhancement. Suitability and contraindications — including pregnancy and breastfeeding — are reviewed by the physician at consultation.
