Hyaluronic Acid Wrinkle Filling

Hyaluronic acid filler placed directly into static creases to soften lines that remain visible at rest — such as marionette lines down from the mouth corners, perioral lines, the frown lines between the brows and fine lines around the eyes. At Wegner Clinic the filler is chosen and placed by a physician to smooth the crease while keeping the face balanced and natural. Because the product is hyaluronic acid, results are gradual to settle and can be adjusted over time.

Hyaluronic acid wrinkle filling targets lines that stay visible when the face is relaxed, which botulinum toxin alone does not fully address. A soft, cross-linked hyaluronic acid gel is placed into or beneath the crease to lift and smooth it. At Wegner Clinic the physician first assesses which lines are dynamic and which are static, since the best results often combine muscle-relaxing injections with filler placed in the deeper folds. Common areas include the marionette lines running down from the corners of the mouth, perioral lip lines, the glabellar frown lines and fine lines around the eyes. Numbing cream is applied first and most fillers 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 are commonly associated with several months to over a year of effect depending on the product and the area before the gel is naturally broken down. A practical advantage of hyaluronic acid is that, unlike permanent fillers, it can be adjusted or dissolved if needed. Treatment is suited to adults wanting to soften specific set-in folds and lines; the doctor confirms suitability and reviews contraindications, and it is not performed during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
