Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that can bind large amounts of moisture, thus contributing significantly to the elasticity and freshness of the skin. However, the natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases with age. Lips, in particular, which have very little of their own fat reserves, quickly lose moisture and volume as a result, which is clearly visible in their appearance.
To counteract this natural process, more and more people are choosing to have their lips treated with hyaluronic acid. The treatment replenishes moisture loss, restores fullness to the lips, and creates a fresher, more harmonious contour.
The effect
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the body and known for its exceptional ability to retain moisture. In aesthetic medicine, it is used to reduce wrinkles, restore volume, and visibly revitalize the skin. Through targeted injections, the skin regains its freshness, elasticity, and a pleasant, youthful appearance.

Side effects
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is considered a very safe and well-tolerated substance. Most patients experience only mild, temporary side effects. These include:
These symptoms usually subside on their own within a few days.
Before every treatment at the Swiss Skin Clinic, a detailed medical consultation takes place, in which all risks and side effects are explained transparently.
Follow-up care after a Hyaluronic acid treatment
Patience is important after hyaluronic acid treatment: swelling, minor hardening, or slight asymmetries can occur and may take up to 14 days to completely subside. Only then will the final result be visible.
To ensure optimal healing, please observe the following instructions:
- Do not apply makeup to the injection sites for 48 hours; keep the areas clean.
- No sports for 4-5 days to avoid swelling and inflammation.
- No tanning beds or strong sunlight for at least 2 weeks.
- Avoid applying strong pressure to the treated area for two weeks.
- Especially important when getting nasal injections: be careful with glasses and masks!
- For lip treatments: Gentle lateral stroking with medium pressure morning and evening for 14 days.
These measures support optimal healing and ensure a harmonious, permanently beautiful result.

Questions & Answer
The results of a hyaluronic acid treatment typically last between 12 and 18 months. The exact duration depends on various individual factors, including skin type, age, metabolism, and lifestyle.
Regular touch-ups can help maintain the results in the long term and visibly improve the complexion.
The treatment is generally very well tolerated. Most patients find the injection only slightly painful. The use of fine needles, gentle techniques, and, if desired, a local anesthetic cream further facilitates the procedure.
The downtime after filler treatment is usually minimal. In most cases, you can resume your daily routine and work immediately after the injection, as long as you avoid strenuous physical activity or anything that causes you to sweat.
Temporary redness, swelling, or small bruises may occur – these usually subside within a few days. It's best to factor this in when scheduling your appointment.
