Injectables

Botox & Neuromodulators

Targeted neuromodulator injections that relax expression muscles to soften dynamic lines on the forehead, glabella and around the eyes.

Overview

Botulinum toxin (Botox, Xeomin, Dysport) is the most studied non-surgical aesthetic intervention. A skilled injector tailors dosing and placement to your facial anatomy, preserving expression while softening lines and preventing the formation of deeper static wrinkles. In Switzerland, treatment is performed exclusively by physicians.

How it works

Botulinum toxin type A temporarily blocks the nerve signals that tell targeted facial muscles to contract. Injected in micro-doses at anatomical landmarks, it softens the muscle activity that creates expression lines — without affecting the surrounding sensory nerves or skin. Onset is 3–5 days; full effect at 14 days.

Who it's for

  • Adults 25+ with dynamic forehead, glabellar or crow's-feet lines
  • Preventative treatment for those with strong expression muscles
  • Patients seeking a refreshed look without volume change
  • Bruxism, gummy smile, jaw slimming and hyperhidrosis (off-face indications)

Benefits

  • +No downtime — resume normal activity immediately
  • +Fully reversible over 3–4 months

Risks & considerations

  • Temporary bruising or headache (1–3 days)
  • Ptosis (eyelid or brow drop) — rare, transient, avoidable with experienced injectors
  • Asymmetry — usually correctable with a small top-up at day 14

Recovery

No visible downtime. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas and lying flat for 4 hours. Onset 3–5 days, peak at 2 weeks, lasts 3–4 months.

Typical price in Switzerland

CHF 300 – 700 per zone. Swiss pricing reflects physician-only administration and top-tier product selection. Consultations are typically CHF 100–200, often deducted from a booked treatment.
