Injections

Botulinum toxin, from CHF 400 - injection

It treats expression lines at the top of the face by freezing the muscles. The effect is maintained for 3 to 6 months.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the dermis. An essential component of skin structure, it moisturizes tissues. As we age, the quality of this hyaluronic acid deteriorates, altering the dermis and leading to dry skin, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Cheeks and lips lose their substance, leading to facial sagging. Thanks to its moisturizing and volumizing properties, hyaluronic acid injections will fill in wrinkles and add volume to lips and facial contours.

There are 2 types of hyaluronic acid:

Standard hyaluronic acid at CHF 500
Widely used to fill in wrinkles and hollows and restore volume to lips. Assimilable, hypoallergenic product. The effect is immediate, and the injection should be repeated every 3 to 12 months (depending on location).
Several areas are concerned, such as the nasolabial folds, cheek wrinkles, frown lines (between the eyebrows), bitterness folds and lips (volume and wrinkles).

Volumizing hyaluronic acid from CHF 650 to 700
It's a temporary, medium-term injectable implant (9 to 18 months lasting) designed to increase or restore volume to various areas of the face. It can be used to fill in hollow areas of the face or reshape its contours, such as the cheeks, chin, cheekbones and oval of the face. Protocol: Injections are progressive, using a maximum of one ampoule per treated area and per session.
The product will give immediate volume due to oedema on the day of injection, then diminish over the following days. 2 to 3 weeks later, it will regain its definitive volume.
The doctor will schedule a follow-up visit approximately 2 months after the 1st injection, to correct or add product if necessary. It's best to proceed gradually, to avoid over-correction.
The application of an anaesthetic cream (EMLA), or a local anaesthetic (mainly for lip treatment) is possible to increase comfort.
However, there may be certain contraindications to the use of hyaluronic acid, such as autoimmune diseases, known hypersensitivity to hyaluronic acid, inflammatory or infectious problems at the injection site, pregnancy...).

Mesolift, CHF 220 - the session
Youthfulness for the dermis; radiance for the epidermis. Based on the principle of mesotherapy, which involves targeting the treatment to a specific area, Mesolift is a gentle method of bio-revitalizing the skin as a whole or a specific area.

How does Mesolift work?
There's nothing aggressive or allergenic about this cocktail of non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid, vitamins A, C and E, and trace elements: micronutrients that restore to the dermis what it loses year after year. Superficial micro-injections are performed on the face, around the eyes, on the décolleté, or on the tops of the hands.
The technique, which has no contraindications, is light and in line with new aesthetic medicine protocols. A hundred or so tiny injections, made with very fine needles, are all that's required.
It's painless, apart from the stimulating sensation of light tingling.
