NASHA Gel Wrinkle Injection

NASHA gel wrinkle injections (dermatofiller) is a method in which wrinkles, scars, facial imperfections and contour deficiencies are corrected by injecting a gel.

Almost everyone has some kind of skin imperfections. However, wrinkles, acne scars (e.g. condition after acne vulgaris), scars from injuries and contour imperfections can be very visible and disturbing.

While in the past there were practically no easy-to-perform ways to remove or improve these skin imperfections, wrinkle injection (filler therapy) is now a recognized and effective procedure to get beautiful and even skin.

Indications (areas of application)

  • Age-related wrinkles
  • Scar correction (superficial scarring conditions).
  • Lip filling

Before treatment

  • Before the start of treatment, an educational and counseling discussion should take place between the physician and the patient. The content of the conversation should be the goals, expectations and the possibilities of treatment, as well as side effects and risks.
  • The patient should not apply makeup at least one day before treatment; if this is not done, the skin should be treated with chlorhexidine for at least three minutes after makeup is removed. Regardless, clean the skin before the injection.
  • The patient should clean the hands with an alcohol-based gel.

The procedure

The NASHA gel (= non animal stabilized hyaluronic acid; filler), which consists of non-animal hyaluronic acid, is produced biotechnologically. Allergic reactions are very rare. NASHA gel wrinkle injection is performed along the corresponding skin fold, scar or contour irregularity. As a result, it relines and tightens the skin, improving its contour. However, hyaluronic acid does not contribute to collagen stimulation.

Lip filling should always be performed at the end of the treatment. The practitioner should take care not to touch any other parts of the face after the mucosa (oral mucosa) has been touched.

The effect of the hyaluronic acid wrinkle injection is visible immediately (immediate effect). The NASHA gel is broken down by the body only after 6-18 months. One treatment (= 1 session) takes about 30 minutes.

The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis – under local anesthesia if desired – with a short treatment and recovery period.

After the treatment

  • Avoid extreme cold or heat for at least 48 hours.
  • Avoid strenuous physical activity.
  • Do not massage the treated region!
  • Sleep one night with head slightly elevated.
  • Do not perform skin cleansing until after 24 hours.

Possible complications

  • Edema (swelling)
  • Hematomas (bruises)
  • Infections
