Botox & Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Dr. Rittinger offers non-surgical aesthetic injectable treatments including Botox for dynamic wrinkle reduction and hyaluronic acid fillers for volume restoration, lip enhancement and deep line softening. Administered in the clinic rather than a surgical setting, these treatments require no downtime and provide immediate visible results. Dark circles and lip correction are also available as targeted applications.

Non-surgical aesthetic medicine at Plastische Chirurgie Nürnberg encompasses injectable treatments administered personally by Dr. med. Clemens Rittinger — the advantage of having a fully qualified plastic surgeon rather than a nurse or beauty therapist perform injectables is a deeper anatomical understanding, a lower complication risk and the ability to combine non-surgical treatments within a broader aesthetic plan. Botulinum toxin (Botox) temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for expression lines — frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), forehead horizontal lines, crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes and bunny lines at the bridge of the nose. Effect onset is typically three to five days, with results lasting three to five months before a repeat session is needed. Because the muscle activity that drives these wrinkles is paused rather than the skin being filled, results look very natural and the face remains expressive. Hyaluronic acid fillers restore lost volume and structure to areas where fat has diminished with age. Common applications include the nasolabial folds (nose-to-mouth lines), marionette lines, cheekbone projection, jawline definition, tear trough hollows and dark circles under the eyes, and lip augmentation or reshaping (lip correction). The filler is injected in small amounts with a fine needle or cannula and the result is immediately visible. Hyaluronic acid is biocompatible and gradually metabolised over six to eighteen months depending on the product density and the area treated; the effect can be reversed immediately with hyaluronidase if needed. Botox and fillers can be combined in the same session and are often used alongside a longer-term surgical plan to maintain results between procedures or address areas that surgery does not target. Consultations are available in German and English; the practice is located at Kontumazgarten 3, Nuremberg, Bavaria.
