Botulinum Toxin Treatment
Gently treating expression lines – for a natural, youthful complexion
Botulinum toxin is a proven method to reduce expression lines – the kind of wrinkles caused by constant facial muscle movement. Whether it’s frown lines, forehead wrinkles, or crow’s feet – botulinum toxin offers an effective and gentle solution with visible results.
What is Botulinum Toxin and how does it work?
Botulinum toxin type A is a biotechnologically produced substance that specifically blocks the transmission of nerve signals to muscles. This means: the treated muscles relax, resulting in visibly smoother skin above them. The natural facial expression remains – when applied professionally.
Areas of Application
Botulinum toxin is particularly suitable for expression lines such as:
- Frown lines (glabellar lines)
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet (eye wrinkles)
Also known as “baby Botox,” a low-dose treatment provides especially natural results, making it ideal for younger patients or first-time aesthetic treatments.
Treatment Procedure
- Consultation & Analysis: Your wishes and individual needs come first.
- Injection: Botulinum toxin is injected precisely with a very fine needle.
- Aftercare: No downtime – you’re immediately socially active again.
When does it take effect?
- Initial effects: after about 3–5 days
- Full effect: after about 2 weeks
- Duration: typically 3–6 months
Regular treatments can extend the duration of effect and relax the muscles over the long term.
Is Botulinum Toxin safe?
Yes – when administered professionally by experienced doctors, botulinum toxin is very safe and well-tolerated. Possible, mostly harmless side effects like redness, swelling, or small bruises usually subside quickly. We provide thorough information before every treatment.
After Treatment – What to Consider?
- 4 hours: Keep your head upright, no pressure massages
- 24 hours: No sports, sauna, or hot baths
- 7 days: No intensive cosmetic facial treatments or direct sun exposure
- No alcohol on the day of treatment

Temporary redness, swelling, or bruising – rarely problematic.

Medical Needling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Natural skin regeneration with long-term effects – enhanced by your own growth factors
Medical needling, also known as microneedling, is a highly effective method for treating fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation spots, and for general skin rejuvenation. Tiny micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin – resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin. When combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – a highly concentrated solution made from your own blood – the effects of needling are significantly enhanced.
What is Medical Needling and how does it work?
A motorized needling pen introduces fine needles into the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural repair mechanisms and stimulate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
The result: visibly improved skin texture, refined pores, balanced pigmentation, and reduced fine lines and scars – without artificial substances.
Enhancement with PRP – Blood-derived therapy for even better results
PRP is applied during or right after the needling. It penetrates the skin through the microchannels and unfolds its regenerative power:
- Boosted collagen production
- Faster healing
- Improved skin elasticity and texture
The growth factors in PRP act as a natural “booster” for cell renewal and accelerate regeneration – for radiant, firmer, and healthier-looking skin.
Areas of Application
Medical needling is ideal for:
- Fine facial lines, especially around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
- Acne scars and other superficial scars
- Hyperpigmentation & sun damage
- Enlarged pores and uneven skin texture
- Skin laxity on the face, neck, décolleté, and back of hands
- Stretch marks (striae)
Even sensitive skin areas can be gently and effectively improved through targeted treatment.
Treatment Procedure
- Consultation & Skin Analysis – Thorough skin assessment and personalized treatment plan
- Blood Collection – 10–20 ml of blood is drawn from your arm
- PRP Processing – Blood is centrifuged to isolate platelets and plasma from other components
- Preparation – Skin is cleansed and numbing cream is applied
- Needling – Sterile device creates microchannels in the skin
- PRP Application – Applied during or immediately after needling
- Care & Soothing – Special agents and calming masks support regeneration
When Are Results Visible?
- First effects: after approx. 7–14 days
- Optimal results: after 4–6 weeks
- Long-term effects: due to deeper tissue remodeling
A series of 3–5 sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart is recommended for best and lasting results.
Is Medical Needling safe?
Yes – when performed by qualified medical professionals, it’s very safe. Only sterile, Swissmedic-certified devices are used under strict hygiene standards. Side effects like redness or mild burning typically disappear within 1–3 days.
What should I do after the treatment?
- 24–48 hours: No makeup, no active skincare products
- 1 week: Avoid tanning beds, saunas, intense sun exposure
- Sun protection: Daily high SPF is essential
- Care: We recommend tailored medical skincare products to support healing
