Wrinkle injection

Sunken areas of skin, especi­ally the zygomatic region or the temples, for example, can be refilled with volume. This gives the face a more youthful expres­sion and tightens fine lines. However, defining the angle of the chin or changing the chin area itself also helps to even out the expression. 

Indivi­dual, more prono­un­ced mimic wrinkles can be treated well with filling materials (so-called "fillers"), which are injected with very thin needles under the depres­sion (wrinkle) to be lifted and, thanks to this volume effect, eliminate the wrinkle or make it mostly disappear 

We only use substances that have been tested and approved by the Federal Health Office, such as Hyalu­ro­nic acids from "Juvederm", "Teosyal", "Croma", "Merz" and othersfurther­more Hydroxyl apatite as original prepa­ra­ti­ons such as "Radiesse", "HArmoniCA" as well as poly-lactic acid prepa­ra­ti­ons such as "Ellansee" and "Sculptra" - no dubious gray imports of questionable provenance. 

Depending on the treatment objective, products of different molecular sizes and degrees of cross-linking are used (the durabi­lity in the tissue also depends on this). 

The effect of these various treat­ments is immedia­tely visible, but builds up over time. Depending on the product, the wrinkles continue to appear over a few days (or several weeks with the stimu­lants). In the case of very deeply ingrained wrinkles, a so-called "subcision" can also be performed. This is the cutting of an adhesion of the fold that extends into the depth of the skin using a sharp needle and then filling this sunken area of skin with the patient's own fatty tissue. own fatty tissue be refilled with the patient's own fatty tissue.

In principle, only biode­gra­da­ble substances are used, which are comple­tely reabsor­bed in the body after a limited shelf life. If mimic wrinkles are filled with biode­gra­da­ble fillers, the effect usually lasts for 6 to 24 months, depending on the substance and lifestyle habits. 

Poly-lactic acid products such as "Ellansé" and "Sculptra"; hydroxyl apatite such as "Radiesse" - or combi­na­tion products such as "HArmonyCa" have a filling effect on the one hand, while on the other they strongly stimulate the fibro­blasts and thus the formation of new collagen. In this way, the body itself builds up elastic volume in the desired regions. 

For collagen restruc­tu­ring and stimu­la­tion : here come "Sculptra" and "Sunekos" are used.

These have no volume effect of their own but generate new collagen and repair the cross-linking of the collagen fibers and give new elasti­city, firmness and water-binding capacity.

The prepa­ra­tion "ProfHilo" is a low-injury hyalu­ro­nic acid which, when injected super­fi­ci­ally under the skin, is distri­bu­ted fluidly in the subcu­ta­neous area, where it creates a beautiful plumpness, water-binding capacity and a glow without injecting specific indivi­dual struc­tures. This appli­ca­tion is normally repeated about every 6 months. 

The insertion of thin threads(thinner than in a thread lift) can also lift and stabilize sunken areas of skin. This is parti­cu­larly useful for deeper wrinkles or "creases" on the upper lip. Here we use "Croma" products. These threads stimulate collagen biosyn­the­sis and fibro­blast activity. 

Another excellent, slightly more complex method of filling tissue is to use the patient's own fatty tissue. A small amount of these fat cells must be taken from another part of the body (usually the waist/​hips) under local anaes­the­tic and, after appro­priate prepa­ra­tion, are injected under the area to be filled using special needles.

As these are the patient's own living cells, there is no foreign body reaction, only swelling and a discreet reddening after the treatment. Depending on the nutrient supply from the surroun­ding tissue, experi­ence has shown that 40-70% of these injected fat cells grow back and thus achieve a permanent filling effect.

Lip augmen­ta­tion and contou­ring are excellent with hyalu­ro­nic acid prepa­ra­ti­ons. Sensitive injec­tions can be used to change both the lip contour and, in parti­cu­lar, the lip volume; the shape of the lips can also be modified. There are countless techni­ques for achieving the desired result. As experi­en­ced users with many years of experi­ence, we can realize your wishes and ideas. The treatment is hardly painful (all injec­ta­bles contain a local anesthe­tic). Using the latest, smooth hyalu­ro­nic fillers, we achieve a natural, impres­sive result.

Botox is of course also used to treat wrinkles and, especi­ally as a prophy­la­xis, prevents the deeper burrowing of mimic wrinkles, including upper lip wrinkles (popularly known somewhat uncha­ri­ta­bly as "smoker's wrinkles").

In the lip area, Botox can also be used for the "LipFlip", an appli­ca­tion in which an injection into the upper lip muscles causes an eversion of the lip, making the red of the lip appear more prominent and thus making the lip appear more volumi­nous. A simple but effective application. 

After applying anesthe­tic cream and / or injecting local anesthe­sia, the filling substance is carefully injected into the subcu­ta­neous tissue.

The substances also contain an anesthe­tic substance so that hardly any pain is felt. The hyalu­ro­nic acid or filler prepa­ra­tion is injected with a very fine needle directly under the wrinkles or above the bone (perio­s­teum) to fill the volume. The "filler" takes immediate effect here by "filling up" the sagging skin with volume from below. Wrinkles are thus reduced or comple­tely smoothed, and sagging tissue regions are lifted and evened out. The tissue is also supplied with new moisture, as hyalu­ro­nic acid stores water in its molecular structure, making the comple­xion appear fresher and healthier.

This effect is parti­cu­larly striking for lip augmen­ta­tion and a beautiful result can be seen immedia­tely. The threads are inserted under the skin using very thin needles. The volume effect is immedia­tely visible, but takes 3-5 days to fully build up. The biosti­mu­lants (such as Sunekos) are injected very super­fi­ci­ally into the skin using extremely thin needles. This does not even require anesthesia. 

The filler materials are well tolerated and biocom­pa­ti­ble (integrate into the tissue and are not recognizable as foreign bodies). They are substances that occur naturally in the human body.

Serious side effects do not occur; however, a certain amount of redness and swelling should be tolerated for the first 1-2 days. Ultim­ately, sensi­ti­vity reactions to carrier substances / accom­pany­ing substances can never be comple­tely ruled out. 

As with any cosmetic procedure, the cost of treatment with fillers can vary greatly and depends on the amount of active ingre­di­ent used. Naturally, the costs incurred will be discussed and deter­mi­ned in advance.

Depending on the scope and materials required, CHF 400-1600 should be budgeted.

Health insurance companies do not cover the appli­ca­tion as it is an aesthetic treatment of choice.

The cost of an initial on-site consul­ta­tion is CHF 150. This amount can be credited towards your treatment if it takes place within 6 months.

If you do not show up for the bindingly agreed initial appoint­ment, a cancel­la­tion fee of CHF 150 will be charged. If you do not show up for the bindingly agreed treatment appoint­ment, a cancel­la­tion fee of CHF 250 will be charged.
