Types of Wrinkles and Their Causes
Visible signs of skin aging have different causes — and that’s why effective wrinkle reduction requires different treatment approaches.
Dynamic Wrinkles
These appear due to the constant activity of facial muscles. Common examples include:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
The most effective and low-risk way to treat dynamic wrinkles is with botulinum toxin, provided they are still primarily caused by muscle activity and have not yet become static wrinkles. Those who want to act preventively can start Botox treatments in their late 20s or early 30s on areas such as the forehead, frown lines, or other facial regions with strong muscle movement to significantly delay wrinkle formation.
Static Wrinkles and Volume Loss
As we age, the skin loses elasticity and subcutaneous fat diminishes. This can lead to:
- Nasolabial folds (between the nose and mouth corners)
- Marionette lines (extending downward from the mouth corners)
- Hollow cheeks or sunken facial areas
In these cases, muscle-relaxing treatments like Botox alone are usually not sufficient. Dermal fillers are used instead—primarily hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite.
Hyaluronic acid fillers attract and bind moisture, visibly plumping up wrinkles and sunken areas. They are ideal for gently enhancing facial contours, lips, or cheeks, restoring a fresh and youthful look. Calcium hydroxylapatite additionally has a biostimulatory effect: it stimulates the body’s own collagen production, resulting in longer-lasting firmness and improved skin texture.
Both methods deliver natural-looking results without surgery—facial features remain authentic but appear more balanced and youthful.
Fine Lines and Skin Aging
External factors such as UV exposure, smoking, and chronic stress accelerate skin aging. The result: fine creases, uneven skin texture, and pigmentation irregularities. Regenerative treatments that rejuvenate the skin from within are most effective here.
Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin, stimulating new collagen and elastin formation. Combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)—the body’s own plasma rich in growth factors—this effect can be significantly enhanced. Additional options such as Profhilo or polynucleotides further promote cellular regeneration and provide lasting hydration.
These treatments visibly improve skin structure, elasticity, and radiance—especially in areas where environmental factors have left their mark.
My Approach to Facial Rejuvenation: Timeless Beauty at Every Age, Never Artificial
My philosophy, “Timeless Beauty at Every Age,” reflects an approach to facial rejuvenation that emphasizes natural results and individual radiance—never anything artificial.
At my practice in Munich, facial rejuvenation is about subtle refinement rather than radical change. Whether using Botox, hyaluronic acid, or other advanced techniques, the goal is a refreshed, well-rested appearance that aligns harmoniously with each life stage.
Every treatment at LIPS and SKIN is performed with the highest medical precision and an expert eye for proportion and expression. The result is a naturally balanced look that conveys health, confidence, and well-being—true timeless beauty at every age.
Our Treatment Methods, Their Effects, and Possible Side Effects
On this overview page, you’ll find an introduction to our key minimally invasive aesthetic treatments. Detailed information is available on the corresponding subpages.
Botox – Relaxing Dynamic Wrinkles
In aesthetic medicine, Botulinum Toxin A is used to selectively relax facial muscles responsible for expression lines. Common treatment areas include forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines), and crow’s feet. It can also be applied to the neck and chin area, as well as for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
The effect begins within about 2–5 days, reaches its peak after 1–2 weeks, and typically lasts 3–6 months. Absolute contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or its excipients, and neuromuscular disorders such as myasthenia gravis or the Lambert-Eaton syndrome. Relative contraindications include infections at the injection site and coagulation disorders.
Possible side effects include mild bruising, headache, a feeling of tightness, and temporary asymmetry. In rare cases, ptosis (drooping eyelid) or dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) may occur. Serious systemic side effects are extremely rare when proper dosing and technique are observed.
The efficacy and safety of Botulinum Toxin A for the treatment of facial expression lines are well documented in numerous randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses, providing a strong level of scientific evidence.
Hyaluronic Acid – Volume & Contour
In aesthetic medicine, hyaluronic acid is used to restore volume, refine contours, and harmonize facial proportions. Common treatment areas include the lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, chin, jawline, and tear troughs. Results are immediately visible but continue to improve over the following days as the filler binds water within the tissue.
Depending on the product used, the injection site, and individual metabolism, results typically last 6 to 18 months. Absolute contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, known hypersensitivity to any component of the filler, and acute skin infections in the treatment area. Relative contraindications include autoimmune diseases, bleeding disorders, and a tendency toward excessive scar formation.
Expected side effects include mild redness, swelling, bruising, small nodules, or asymmetry. In rare cases, vascular compression, tissue necrosis, or visual disturbances may occur, underscoring the importance of expert injection technique.
The efficacy and safety of cross-linked hyaluronic acid for aesthetic indications are well established and supported by numerous clinical studies, with a good to very high level of scientific evidence.
Profhilo – Intensive Hydration & Biostimulation
Profhilo is an injectable hyaluronic acid treatment designed not primarily as a filler but to deliver deep hydration and biostimulation of the skin. It is mainly used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to improve skin texture, enhance elasticity, and reduce fine lines.
The effect usually begins within a few days and continues to develop over several weeks as the body’s own collagen and elastin production is stimulated. Typically, two sessions are performed four weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months.
Absolute contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid or its excipients, and active infections at the injection site. Relative contraindications include autoimmune diseases, bleeding disorders, and a tendency toward excessive scar formation.
Expected side effects are mild redness, swelling, bruising, and, rarely, small nodules or asymmetry. Serious complications are very uncommon when proper technique is applied.
Clinical studies demonstrate that Profhilo effectively improves skin quality and elasticity. The scientific evidence is good, though not as extensive as for traditional dermal fillers.
Polynucleotides – Regeneration at the Cellular Level
Polynucleotides are biocompatible DNA fragments that promote skin regeneration by enhancing hydration, improving the extracellular matrix, and stimulating fibroblast activity. They are primarily used on the face, neck, décolletage, and eye area to improve skin texture, elasticity, and moisture levels.
Initial results appear after a few weeks, typically following 2 to 4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart, with maintenance treatments recommended every few months.
Absolute contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, hypersensitivity to product components, and active infections at the injection site. Relative contraindications include autoimmune diseases, bleeding disorders, and a tendency toward excessive scarring.
Possible side effects include mild redness, swelling, bruising, or small nodules. Serious complications are rare when performed correctly.
The scientific evidence for polynucleotides is strong and continues to grow. Both preclinical and clinical studies confirm their regenerative effects at the cellular level.
Thread Lift – Gentle Lifting Without Surgery
A thread lift involves the insertion of resorbable sutures into the tissue to lift sagging skin and stimulate collagen production. Common treatment areas include the cheeks, jawline, eyebrows, neck, and chin. The lifting effect is immediate and typically lasts 12 to 18 months, depending on the material used.
Absolute contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infections, and hypersensitivity to the suture material. Relative contraindications include bleeding disorders, autoimmune diseases, and advanced skin laxity.
Possible risks include mild swelling, bruising, asymmetry, or the ability to feel the threads under the skin. Serious complications are rare when the procedure is performed by an experienced physician.
The scientific evidence for thread lifting is moderate but growing, with documented efficacy for selected indications in minimally invasive facial rejuvenation.
Skin Rejuvenation with Microneedling & PRP/PRF
Microneedling combined with PRP or PRF uses fine needles together with growth factors from the patient’s own blood to improve skin texture, elasticity, and fine lines. Common treatment areas include the face, neck, décolletage, and scar tissue.
Visible improvement appears after several weeks, with optimal results achieved after multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Absolute contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infections, bleeding disorders, and certain skin diseases. Relative contraindications include autoimmune disorders and a tendency toward excessive scarring.
Expected side effects include mild redness, swelling, bruising, and temporary irritation. Serious complications are rare.
The scientific evidence is strong, demonstrating significant improvement in skin quality and rejuvenation with combined microneedling and PRP/PRF therapy.
Fat-Dissolving Injections – Non-Surgical Contouringerbesserung ohne OP
Fat-dissolving injections (injection lipolysis) use phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholate to break down small, localized fat deposits in a controlled manner. Common treatment areas include the double chin, cheeks, abdomen, hips, and other limited regions.
Initial results become visible after a few weeks. Typically, 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart are required for optimal outcomes.
Absolute contraindications include pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infections, liver disease, and hypersensitivity to the product. Relative contraindications include autoimmune disorders and bleeding disorders.
Possible side effects include temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, and occasionally small nodules.
The scientific evidence is solid for clearly defined indications. With proper patient selection, results are predictable and reliable.
How a Facial Rejuvenation Treatment Works at LIPS and SKIN
- Consultation & Analysis
We begin with a detailed discussion of your goals, followed by an assessment of your skin condition, wrinkle depth, and facial contours. Together, we select the most suitable approach—or a combination of Botox, hyaluronic acid, Profhilo, polynucleotides, thread lift, microneedling, or fat-dissolving injections. - Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and, if needed, locally numbed. Treatment areas are precisely marked to ensure optimal results. - Treatment
The chosen procedure is performed professionally and with care. Depending on the method, the session lasts 20 to 60 minutes, is generally well tolerated, and performed on an outpatient basis. - Aftercare
You will receive detailed skincare and post-treatment instructions. If necessary, a follow-up appointment or maintenance session will be scheduled to refine or prolong the results. - Results
Some effects are visible immediately—such as after hyaluronic acid or fat-dissolving injections. Treatments like Botox, Profhilo, or polynucleotides reach full effect within days to weeks. Biostimulatory treatments continue to enhance skin quality over the following months.
Risks of Facial Rejuvenation Treatments
Modern facial rejuvenation procedures are minimally invasive and highly safe when performed by experienced physicians such as Dr. Eva Maria Strobl.

FAQ – Facial Rejuvenation in Munich
Depending on the method, results last between 3 and 18 months. Biostimulators such as Profhilo or polynucleotides enhance skin quality over the long term.
Yes. For example, Botox to relax dynamic wrinkles, hyaluronic acid for volume restoration, and Profhilo to improve skin quality. Another effective combination is microneedling with PRP or PRF for enhanced regeneration.ng + PRP/PRF.
Indirectly. The fat-dissolving injection reduces small fat deposits and refines facial contours. By tightening the treated area and improving definition—especially along the jawline or under the chin—it can make the face appear smoother and more youthful, indirectly reducing the visibility of wrinkles.
The treatment usually takes between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the method and the size of the treated areas. If a numbing cream is applied (for example, for lip enhancement or microneedling), an additional 30 minutes should be allowed for it to take effect.
here is no fixed age limit. Some start Botox treatments for prevention in their mid-20s, while others come to me only after 40. In any case, I treat only patients aged 18 and older.
