What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is an endogenous substance that occurs naturally in the skin. It belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans and is important for the structure and elasticity of the skin. The acid can promote the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. This is why it is used in aesthetic medicine as a filler to reduce wrinkles and restore volume to the face. Due to its natural properties, hyaluronic acid is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of the skin and support a youthful appearance.
High molecular weight vs. low molecular weight hyaluronic acid
However, not all hyaluronic acid is the same. There are two different forms of this endogenous substance that are used in aesthetic medicine: high-molecular and low-molecular hyaluronic acid.
High-molecular hyaluronic acid has larger molecules that remain on the surface of the skin. It acts as a barrier that fends off external influences and protects the skin from environmental stresses. This form of hyaluronic acid is ideal for making the skin appear plumper and giving it a radiant appearance.
In contrast, low-molecular hyaluronic acid consists of smaller molecules that can penetrate deeper into the skin. This improves the skin’s texture and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid also has the ability to boost collagen production and improve skin elasticity. This helps the skin to look fresher and healthier in the long term.
In aesthetic medicine, both high-molecular and low-molecular hyaluronic acid is used in the form of fillers. These injections can be used to reduce wrinkles and restore volume to the face in order to achieve a youthful and radiant appearance.

How does hyaluronic acid work?
Hyaluronic acid unfolds its effect in various ways. In addition to its ability to protect and structure the skin, it can also be used to improve the volume and contour of the face. Through targeted use, individual aesthetic goals can be achieved and an overall rejuvenated appearance can be created.
Hyaluronic acid is used to sculpt and emphasize certain areas. High molecular weight hyaluronic acid can be used to accentuate natural facial structures and create an even appearance. It gives contours more definition and contributes to the aesthetics of the face.
Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, on the other hand, can also be used to build volume by penetrating deeper into the skin and providing more fullness. This form of hyaluronic acid can be used to treat cheeks, lips or other areas, creating a balanced and youthful facial appearance.
Hyaluronic acid in aesthetic medicine
With regard to aesthetic medicine, there are further areas of application. Hyaluronic acid has established itself as an extremely versatile tool. Through targeted injections, it can help to beautify the face, reduce wrinkles and tighten the skin.
- Hyaluronic acid can be injected into targeted areas to reduce fine lines and deep wrinkles on the face. It helps to smooth the skin and make it appear more radiant overall. In addition, the skin can be tightened and its elasticity improved.
- Hyaluronic acid is also ideal for giving the lips more volume and definition. Injections can be used to adjust the shape of the lips and create a more harmonious mouth area.
- Hyaluronic acid can be used in rhinoplasty to smooth out unevenness, shape the tip of the nose or correct asymmetries. It is therefore a minimally invasive alternative to conventional rhinoplasty.
- Hyaluronic acid injections are also possible in the lower eyelid area and the tear trough. Dark circles under the eyes can be reduced to achieve an overall fresher and more awake appearance.
- Small wrinkles around the lips are also known as smoker’s lines or lip lines. They can be easily reduced with hyaluronic acid.
- The nasolabial fold, which extends from the nose to the corners of the mouth, can be treated effectively with hyaluronic acid. By injecting it into this wrinkle, it is filled and significantly reduced.
- Hyaluronic acid can also be used for a neck lift. Targeted injections reduce fine lines and sagging skin.
- Sagging cheeks or sagging cheek areas can be lifted and tightened with hyaluronic acid injections. It is also used in conjunction with other procedures such as a facelift or cheekbone augmentation for optimal results.

What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid?
Treatment with hyaluronic acid offers a number of advantages compared to other procedures. This makes it an attractive option for people who prefer a minimally invasive solution for their concerns.
A major advantage is the immediate results. As soon as hyaluronic acid is injected into the skin or tissue, it immediately fills in wrinkles or areas with volume loss. Hyaluronic acid therefore has an immediate positive effect on the appearance of the skin.
Another advantage is that hyaluronic acid promotes a natural look. It emphasizes the contours of the face and naturally restores volume and fullness so that the result does not look unnatural or exaggerated.
It is also extremely versatile. It can be used in many areas of the body and face to achieve various aesthetic goals.
Hyaluronic acid also has no lifelong effects. It is naturally broken down by the body over time. The result is therefore not permanent. This gives you the option of adapting or renewing your appearance over time.
