Treatment for wrinkles

Crow’s feet / forehead wrinkles / expression and facial lines

There are many factors responsible for facial wrinkling. Whether we laugh a lot or frequently give vent to our displeasure, over time all such expressions leave their trace on our faces, be it in the form of crow’s feet or a furrowed brow. The natural aging process makes its own contribution to the process. Personal habits also play a role, and even environmental influences are not entirely without fault for more than a few wrinkles. An effective method against wrinkle formation is treatment with botulinum toxin A.

Botulinum toxin A is a naturally occurring bacterial protein. It is a neurotoxin that inhibits the transmission of nerve impulses. It is these nerve impulses that cause the muscles to contract, hence they are the primary cause of wrinkle formation. With the proper dosage, the muscles responsible can be inhibited. The aim of this treatment is to prevent new wrinkles – such as crow’s feet or the typical forehead frown lines – from forming or becoming more pronounced.

Nasolabial folds / lip injections

Another option for reducing the lines on our faces is treatment with hyaluronic acid. This is injected as a filler to smooth away the wrinkles and folds mentioned above.

The treatment
There are no problems associated with this treatment, it takes about half an hour to perform, and it requires no allergy testing. After local anesthesia is induced or a local anaesthetic cream is applied, the hyaluronic acid-containing Restylane gel is injected into the skin or lips to smooth out wrinkles and folds or to restore volume to the lips.

Effects
The effects last from six to twelve months. The results can be maintained with follow-up treatments. Dr. Hundt would be happy to see you for a personal consultation.
