Hyaluronic acid is a versatile active ingredient that is also used in the medical and cosmetic fields. It has gained popularity as an anti-ageing agent because it is very well tolerated and has hardly any side effects. The reason for this is that it is also naturally present in the body. The connective tissue, bones, intervertebral discs and synovial fluid in particular contain large amounts of hyaluronic acid.
Treatments with hyaluronic acid generally achieve very natural and healthy-looking results. As the rejuvenation effect is induced from within, the result is a gradual and very harmonious change that leaves the appearance looking fresh and not mask-like. Our following article reveals which treatments are possible with the help of hyaluronic acid.

Wrinkle treatment with Botox® or hyaluronic acid – which is better?
The two most common agents used to reduce wrinkles are botulinum toxin (Botox®) and hyaluronic acid. However, it is not generally possible to say which of the two active ingredients is better. It always depends on the initial findings and the patient’s wishes. Each treatment is individually adapted to the person. When treating wrinkles, it is first important to determine the type and intensity of the wrinkles in order to determine the appropriate treatment. Botulinum toxin is suitable for reducing wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, is used to treat wrinkles that are visible regardless of facial expressions. These are often deeper wrinkles that need to be plumped up from the inside.
Hyaluronic acid improves the complexion
One of the major benefits of hyaluronic acid is that it not only evens out unpleasant unevenness on the skin, but also supports skin quality. Treatment also stimulates the natural production of hyaluronic acid and cell regeneration processes. If the skin has hyaluronic acid deposits, moisturization is generally also very good. This makes the skin look firm, plump and healthy. This can also refine the pores. Overall, the skin appears significantly rejuvenated and fresher without changing the individual facial features.
Volume treatments and contours
Hyaluronic acid is also known as a filler. Hyaluronic acid injections can not only smooth out unpleasant unevenness on the skin, but also correct volume deficits in a natural way. With increasing age, the cheeks or other areas often lose fullness. This changes the proportions and can make the face look tense. A treatment with hyaluronic acid can restore this volume and be used to emphasize and contour individual areas. The jawline and nose in particular are prominent examples of areas that can be brought closer to the patient’s expectations with hyaluronic acid treatment.
Lip treatment with hyaluronic acid
Harmoniously curved and full lips are the dream of many patients. Many people do not want their lips to be overly plump, but simply a little more fullness and contour. With light hyaluronic acid injections, the lips can be built up step by step so that they do not look unnatural but very harmonious. The shape of the lips can also be determined to some extent by the hyaluronic acid.
Regeneration of damaged skin in various stages
It is not possible to say in general terms when the right time is for treatment with hyaluronic acid. In principle, patients decide for themselves when they want to supplement their individual skin care with a hyaluronic acid treatment and contribute to the rejuvenation of their skin. Hyaluronic acid can be used to reduce mild, moderate and even severe damage to the skin.
High-quality hyaluronic acid can be used, for example, as follows and can help:
Success and results depend on the product and the practitioner
Treatment with hyaluronic acid is considered to be particularly gentle and low-risk. However, this is only true if high-quality materials are used and the practitioner has the necessary knowledge and experience.
