Lower facial wrinkles
Over time, the lower face loses structure and support, causing pronounced folds and creases. Hyaluronic acid restores volume and relaxes expression without changing features.
Nasolabial folds : these extend from the nasal ala to the mouth corners. Deepening is associated with fat loss and tissue ptosis. Cross-linked hyaluronic acid effectively fills the fold and, if necessary, restores neighbouring volumes — cheekbones, cheeks — as part of a genuine non-surgical medical lift.
Marionette lines : between mouth and chin, these sometimes create a sad or tired appearance. Hyaluronic acid restores volume balance, softens features and supports the lower face while preserving natural expressive mobility.
Perioral wrinkles ("barcode lines") : these vertical lip lines develop through repeated movements (speech, eating, smoking) and lost skin tone. Fluid hyaluronic acid injected through superficial layering smooths skin, gently plumps the mouth and improves comfort without heaviness.
Upper facial wrinkles
Forehead wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet mainly result from muscular hyperactivity. Botulinum toxin is first-line treatment. However, hyaluronic acid may sometimes complement it or be used alone.
Frown lines between the eyebrows may remain visible at rest. After botulinum toxin relaxes the area, a small quantity of hyaluronic acid may fill residual fine lines and smooth skin.
Forehead wrinkles develop through repeated expressions. Botulinum toxin is the main treatment, but if a fine line remains, very superficial fluid hyaluronic acid may provide slight improvement. This remains delicate because skin is thin and product visibility risk higher.
Crow’s feet at the outer eye corners also involve muscular hyperactivity. Botulinum toxin is the reference treatment, but hyaluronic acid may cautiously rehydrate and improve skin quality in some cases. This requires complete technical proficiency because thin, sensitive skin is vulnerable to swelling or the Tyndall effect.
Wrinkles in hollow areas or those losing density
Some facial areas naturally become hollow over time, changing structure and volume balance. This accentuates wrinkles and sometimes causes a tired appearance. Hyaluronic acid injections restore deep support and redefine contours harmoniously.
The tear trough, between the inner eye corner and upper cheek, is particularly prone to hollowing. When it sinks, a shadow weighs down the eyes. Sufficiently cross-linked, low-hydrophilicity hyaluronic acid injected deeply gently fills this fragile area and restores brightness.
Temples also hollow with age, disrupting upper facial continuity. Appropriate injection restores shape and rebalances proportions.
Loss of cheek and cheekbone fat pads causes overall facial sagging. Hyaluronic acid subtly restores volume and provides a natural lifting effect comparable to a “medical lift” without surgery.
Specific expression-related wrinkles
Some wrinkles are not directly age-related but develop through expression, posture or lifestyle. They often reflect repeated movements or prolonged skin pressure, such as during sleep.
Sleep lines, vertical or oblique cheek wrinkles, result from nighttime facial pressure. Fluid hyaluronic acid delivered through superficial layering reduces these marks and restores suppleness.
Chin wrinkles, often associated with orange-peel skin or small horizontal creases, involve repeated contractions and lost skin tone. Small quantities of hyaluronic acid smooth the chin, soften contours and prevent deeper creases becoming established.
Treating these wrinkles early preserves facial balance, maintains smooth, toned skin and retains natural suppleness in expressive areas.
Neck and décolletage wrinkles
Hyaluronic acid is also successfully used in the neck and décolletage, often affected by time and repeated sun exposure. These delicate regions require a gentle, targeted approach adapted to thin skin.
For the neck, Skinboosters or very fluid hyaluronic acids injected through superficial layering are preferred to smooth horizontal folds, improve quality and restore elasticity.
For the décolletage, treatment rehydrates skin, restores suppleness and smooths folds caused by sun or side sleeping.
These injections restore radiance and softness to often neglected areas,.
Hand wrinkles
Over time, the backs of the hands become early visible witnesses to ageing. Skin thins, loses elasticity, veins and tendons become more prominent and fine surface lines appear. Hyaluronic acid deeply rehydrates the dermis, improves quality and increases density in this often neglected area.
Injection through superficial layering or a fan technique using a cannula is quick and well tolerated. Results appear within the first weeks : skin regains softness, suppleness and a visibly younger appearance.
Conclusion : hyaluronic acid injections to correct wrinkles
Hyaluronic acid corrects a wide variety of wrinkles, whether deep folds, superficial fine lines, lost skin density or persistent dehydration.
Effectiveness depends on product quality, injection depth and, above all, precise overall analysis of the area. This personalised approach ensures harmony and naturalness.
Hyaluronic acid is particularly indicated for lower facial wrinkles — nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip contour — and volume-loss wrinkles in the tear trough, cheeks or temples. It also provides excellent results on dehydration lines around the mouth, neck or décolletage.
For upper facial expression lines, such as forehead wrinkles or crow’s feet, combination with botulinum toxin is often recommended for a more complete, lasting effect.
