Hyaluronic acid fillers in the Zurich / Lake Zurich region
Natural volume and precise contouring
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the human body, known for its ability to bind water and thus provide the skin with volume, elasticity and moisture. Hyaluronic acid fillers, also referred to as dermal fillers, are biocompatible gels based on hyaluronic acid that are used in aesthetic medicine to restore volume loss, fill wrinkles and contour the face.
What are hyaluronic acid fillers and how do they work?
With increasing age, the natural hyaluronic acid content of the skin decreases, which can lead to wrinkle formation and volume loss. Synthetically produced, stabilised hyaluronic acid fillers are injected specifically into the skin or the subcutaneous tissue to compensate for these deficits. They plump up wrinkles from within, restore lost volume and can define facial contours such as the cheeks, chin or jawline. The results are usually visible immediately.

Safety, side effects and complications: Modern hyaluronic acid fillers are generally very well tolerated. Typical hyaluronic acid side effects are temporary redness, swelling or small bruises at the injection sites. More serious hyaluronic acid complications, such as infections or vascular occlusions, are extremely rare when applied professionally by a qualified doctor. We use exclusively CE-certified brand products and inform you comprehensively.

FAQ fillers
The question “Botox® or filler” or “Botox® vs hyaluronic acid” is central. Botulinum toxin (Botox) is a muscle relaxant. It is used to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle activity (e.g. frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet). Hyaluronic acid fillers, on the other hand, add volume. They are used to fill static wrinkles (visible even at rest), compensate for volume loss (e.g. on the cheeks, lips) or define contours (e.g. jawline, chin). Often a combination of both procedures is advisable.
The durability of fillers varies depending on the type of hyaluronic acid preparation used (degree of cross-linking), the treated region and individual factors. As a rule, you can expect an effect lasting 12 to 24 months. With some products and treatment areas, the durability can extend beyond this.
The most common hyaluronic acid side effects include temporary redness, swelling, tenderness or small haematomas at the injection sites. These usually subside within a few days.
Serious hyaluronic acid complications such as infections, allergic reactions or vascular occlusions are very rare when applied professionally by a qualified and experienced doctor. A careful medical history and consultation before treatment are essential. At our practice, we use exclusively high-quality, CE-certified products to minimise the risk.
Yes, a combination of Botox® and hyaluronic acid fillers is often advisable to achieve a comprehensive and harmonious result. Botox® addresses dynamic wrinkles, while fillers correct volume loss and static wrinkles.
The perception of pain is individual. Injection treatments can be associated with slight discomfort. We use very fine needles and can, if necessary, apply topical (locally applied) anaesthetic creams to maximise comfort during the treatment.
