Wrinkle and volume treatment on the face

Wrinkle treatment is a common procedure in aesthetic medicine aimed at reducing or eliminating the appearance of facial wrinkles. Wrinkles develop over the course of a lifetime due to the natural aging process of the skin, but also due to environmental influences such as sun exposure and smoking.

Wrinkle treatment methods

There are various methods of wrinkle treatment, of which filler injections are one of the most well-known. Filler substances such as hyaluronic acid are injected into the skin to smooth wrinkles and improve the complexion. Not only wrinkles, but also volume loss can be naturally corrected with hyaluronic acid to achieve a fresher appearance. With age, the skin loses elasticity and fatty tissue breaks down, which can lead to a sunken or tired appearance.

 

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found in the skin that maintains its moisture and elasticity. When injected into the skin, it binds water and creates a plump appearance.

 

Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be used to enlarge or define the lips. This procedure is also known as lip augmentation and can improve the appearance of the lips by making them appear more voluminous and fuller.

 

The effect usually lasts for a few months, after which the treatment must be repeated.

Wrinkle treatment with "Botox"

Another option for wrinkle treatment is the use of botulinum toxin, also known as Botox. During Botox treatment, the botulinum toxin is injected into the selected facial muscles using a very fine needle.

 

The botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the nerve impulses that trigger muscle movement, causing the muscles to relax and wrinkles and fine lines on the face to appear smoother. The procedure usually takes only a few minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis.

 

The results of Botox treatment are visible within a few days and typically last about three to six months. After this time, the botulinum toxin is gradually broken down by the body, and the muscles begin to move again. To maintain the results, patients must undergo regular treatments every three to six months.


Botox treatments are generally safe, but as with any medical procedure, there are some potential risks and side effects. These may include redness, swelling, and mild pain at the injection site.

 

Botox treatments are often used to treat wrinkles in the forehead and eye area. It can also be used to treat teeth grinding, migraines, and tension headaches.

Botox Treatment

After careful consideration, I decided on a Botox treatment for my forehead and eyebrows. Dr. Wilke was the only person I could consider.

There are few people who have such a sense of aesthetics and proportions as he does. He demonstrates his competence and skill not least through detailed consultations on the treatment process, possible side effects, the materials, and how to behave in the days following, as well as a truly well-communicated and tolerable treatment.

The results, which appear after about 5-10 days, speak for themselves.

I will definitely come back.
