Botox Zurich - Natural
Wrinkle Treatment by Experts
Natural-looking results for a fresh, relaxed appearance – your personalized Botox treatment at our clinic in Zurich.
What You Should Know About Botox Treatment
Fine lines, laugh lines, crow’s feet, and even deeper wrinkles are caused by the skin’s natural aging process and repetitive facial expressions, but are further exacerbated by sun exposure, smoking, and dietary habits.
In the United States, as in Europe, the use of botulinum toxin—a natural protein—is extremely widespread and is perhaps the easiest way to get started with aesthetic medicine. This substance temporarily blocks the connection between nerves and muscles, thereby slowing down or preventing the contraction of the affected muscle.
With targeted Botox treatment at our practice in Zurich, various wrinkles can be significantly reduced in a brief outpatient procedure. Typical areas of application include the treatment of frown lines and forehead wrinkles, as well as specialized treatments such as masseter Botox for jaw relaxation or Baby Botox for particularly natural results. In addition, Botox can help prevent wrinkles from becoming deeper over time, thereby also providing a preventive effect.
If you're unsure which method is best suited for your wrinkles, the article “Botox or Hyaluronic Acid for Wrinkles: Which is Better?” provides clear guidance on the differences and uses of both treatments.
In this video, Dr. Peter Dietz explains the Botox treatment step by step: how it works, suitable treatment areas, and how the dosage is determined individually.

Applications of Botox Treatment
At our practice, we use Botox specifically to treat various expression lines. Our goal is always to achieve a natural-looking result that preserves your individual facial expressions while making your face appear fresher and more relaxed.
We would be happy to provide you with comprehensive advice on Botox in Zurich.
Treating frown lines (glabellar lines)
Frown lines are caused by repeated muscle movements between the eyebrows and can give the face a tense appearance. Botox can be used to specifically relax this area and visibly smooth it out.
Many patients want to get rid of their frown lines—find out what options are available and which treatment is best for you in our detailed article.
Treating forehead wrinkles
Forehead wrinkles are caused by frequently raising the eyebrows and can give the face a worried or tense appearance. Botox can be used to specifically relax the muscles, visibly smoothing the skin and giving the face a more relaxed overall appearance.
Many patients want to smooth out their forehead wrinkles without losing their natural facial expressions. By tailoring the dosage to each individual, a harmonious result can be achieved that allows facial expressions to remain natural.
Treating crow's feet (eye wrinkles)
Crow's feet are caused by repetitive movements around the eyes, especially when laughing or blinking. While these fine lines can add expression to the face, they are often considered unsightly.
With precise Botox application, crow’s feet can be gently smoothed without restricting natural facial expressions. This preserves the liveliness of facial expressions while making the skin appear fresher and smoother.
Masseter Botox (jaw area)
Masseter Botox is administered in the area of the masseter muscle and is suitable for both aesthetic and functional purposes. Treatment can help slim the face and create a more harmonious overall appearance.
At the same time, Botox injections into the masseter muscle are often used to treat teeth grinding or jaw tension. By specifically relaxing the muscle, symptoms can be reduced and quality of life improved.
Baby Botox (natural results)
With so-called “Baby Botox,” a smaller amount of the active ingredient is used to achieve particularly subtle and natural results. This method is ideal for patients who want to preserve their facial expressions and gently treat early wrinkles.
Baby Botox is often chosen by younger patients or by those who value a subtle, fresh appearance. At our practice in Zurich, we also use this technique selectively to achieve particularly harmonious results.
Lip Flip
A Lip Flip is a specialized Botox treatment targeting the upper lip area. It involves the precise, low-dose treatment of the muscles surrounding the mouth, thereby making the upper lip appear visually more prominent.
This method is particularly suitable for patients who desire a subtle enhancement of the upper lip without adding extra volume through fillers. A Lip Flip may also be a viable option if the upper lip is barely visible when smiling.
We will determine whether this treatment suits your individual lip shape and facial expressions during a personal consultation at our practice in Zurich.

Costs, Consultations, and Scheduling for Botox Treatment
As with any cosmetic procedure, the cost of botulinum toxin treatment at our practice in Zurich can vary significantly and depends on the amount of the active ingredient used. Prices typically range from CHF 300 to CHF 800, depending on the treatment area and individual muscle activity.
Of course, the associated costs will be discussed and agreed upon in advance. Health insurance plans do not cover the use of botulinum toxin, as it is considered a cosmetic procedure. Only in cases of excessive sweating in the armpits, hands, and feet (hyperhidrosis) do some private insurance plans cover these costs.
The cost of an initial in-person consultation is CHF 150. This amount can be applied toward your treatment, provided it takes place within 6 months.
If you fail to show up for a confirmed initial appointment, you will be charged a cancellation fee of CHF 150. If you fail to show up for a confirmed treatment appointment, you will be charged a cancellation fee of CHF 250.
What does a Botox treatment involve?
Every Botox treatment at our practice in Zurich begins with a personalized assessment of facial expressions and a discussion of the desired outcome.
Every person is unique and has their own distinct facial expressions. That is why the number of injections varies from patient to patient. A precise analysis by an experienced specialist forms the basis for a natural and personalized result.
Only then can an optimal result according to the individual expectations of the patient be achieved on the basis of extensive professional experience and precise knowledge of the anatomy (which is not the case with beauticians, for example).
The active ingredient is injected with a very thin needle into the muscle whose activity is to be weakened. The predominant blockade of muscle function begins immediately, but only builds up completely after 3-8 days. The effect lasts for around three to five months, after which a new application is required. Repeated applications can prolong the duration of effect.
Serious side effects are not to be expected if used correctly. However, minor redness and bruising may (very rarely) occur at the puncture sites, no matter how carefully the procedure is carried out, but these will quickly disappear. To be on the safe side, you should not plan any official events for the following day. Botulinum toxin should not be used during pregnancy or certain nerve diseases.

How does Botox work in the body?
The application prevents the weakened muscle from contracting and causing the skin to wrinkle, thereby smoothing out the wrinkle (it does not disappear completely, as the “crease” remains, similar to folded paper), but it is significantly flattened. If you want to eliminate it completely, additional volume must be added using a so-called “filler.”
What is botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin (colloquially known as "Botox", "BTX") was first used in medicine in the 1980s to treat neuro-muscular disorders (e.g. permanent spasms of the eyes or the oblique neck muscles). Its use for cosmetic purposes to smooth mimic wrinkles began in the 1990s. Botulinum toxin is particularly suitable for smoothing wrinkles in the upper part of the face, especially in the forehead/eyebrow area and around the root of the nose. However, other facial wrinkles caused by facial expressions can also be treated, as well as drooping corners of the mouth, annoying chin wrinkles or so-called "crow's feet" and neck wrinkles ("platysma bands").
What types of botulinum toxin are there?
There are various manufacturers who market botulinum toxin under different trade names; however, all are chemically "botulinum toxin A": Botox®, Vistabel (onabotulinum toxin A or botulinum toxin type A); Bocouture, Xeomin (incobotulinum toxin A or botulinum toxin type A); Azzalure (botulinum toxin type A); Dysport (abobotulinum toxin A or botulinum toxin type A). There are also always new manufacturers on the market.
According to studies, however, these do not differ significantly in terms of effect and duration.
