Injecting the skin with fillers such as Radish or Hyaluron is a gentle alternative to surgical facelifts. The skin can be tightened and rejuvenated in this way without the need for a major procedure. The side effects of these treatments are also very limited, and, as a rule, you can usually return to social life immediately.

Filler treatments are therefore a welcome alternative for anyone who wants a younger appearance but doesn't want to go under the knife. In today's article, you will learn everything you need to know about treatments with Radiesse or hyaluronic acid at OmniMed.

Wrinkle injections with OmniMed

At our OmniMed practice in Eisenstadt and Klagenfurt, we use both hyaluronic acid and Radiesse as a proven method for gentle wrinkle treatment.

Radiesse and hyaluronic acid are two different types of dermal fillers that are used in aesthetic medicine to treat wrinkles, restore facial volume and for facial rejuvenation. The main difference between the two lies in their composition.

Radiesse consists of calcium hydroxyapatite, a mineral that occurs naturally in the body. It is suspended in a gel-like carrier solution. Hyaluron, on the other hand, is a substance that also occurs naturally in the body and plays an important role in skin hydration and elasticity.

How do hyaluronic acid and Radiesse work?

Hyaluronic acid and Radiesse are dermal fillers that work in different ways to improve the appearance of the skin:

Hyaluronic acid plays an important role in moisture retention and skin elasticity. During wrinkle injections, hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin, where it binds moisture and increases volume. This smoothes out wrinkles and lines, making the skin appear plumper and more youthful. Hyaluronic acid also stimulates collagen production, which can lead to an improvement in skin quality in the long term.

When Radiesse is injected into the skin, it initially forms an immediate support structure that creates volume and smoothes wrinkles. Over time, Radiesse also stimulates the body's own collagen production, which leads to a long-term improvement in skin structure and elasticity. As a result, the effects of Radiesse can last for several months to a year or longer.

What effects can be expected from wrinkle injections?

Wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid and Radiesse can achieve various aesthetic effects aimed at improving the appearance of the skin and creating a more youthful appearance. These effects include smoothing wrinkles and lines, restoring volume, improving contour, lip augmentation and improving skin texture and quality.

Both hyaluronic acid and Radiesse can help to reduce fine lines and deeper wrinkles, with hyaluronic acid being particularly suitable for finer lines and Radiesse often used for deeper wrinkles. Targeted injections in areas such as the cheeks, chin and temples can restore lost volume and create a more youthful contour. Hyaluronic acid fillers can also be used to enlarge and define the lips.

In addition, hyaluronic acid and Radiesse can help improve skin texture and quality by smoothing scars or imperfections and creating an overall more radiant appearance.

What side effects can occur?

The most common side effects of wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid and Radiesse are redness, swelling, slight pain or bruising at the injection site. These effects are usually mild and temporary, but can last a few days. In rare cases, allergic reactions, infections or granuloma formation may occur.

It is important to see qualified doctors to perform the treatment and discuss all risks beforehand. At OmniMed, we specialize in the treatment of wrinkles and value your safety and satisfaction. Feel free to schedule a consultation to find out which wrinkle treatment is best for you.
