Wrinkle treatments

A “fresh” look is desirable at any age. The reasons for looking “tired” and “exhausted” may vary, and it is necessary, of course, to analyse the causes (stimuli) of the processes. As life expectancy increases, so do the social and leisure activities of people in the age group of 65 and older. This has also resulted in an increased demand for “revitalizing” treatments, which primarily involve non-invasive (non-surgical) techniques.
In this context, the primary focus is on issues of wrinkle formation, reduced skin elasticity and volume changes.
In wrinkle formation, a broad distinction can be made between dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscles) and gravitational wrinkles (caused by gravitation). Typical dynamic wrinkles are “glabella wrinkles”, “lofty brow” and “crow’s feet”. Examples of gravitational wrinkles are the “nasolabial fold” and “chubby cheeks”.
A negative volume will arise primarily due to reduced elasticity combined with gravity, such as “deep under-eye circles” or “sunken cheeks”.

The following methods can be applied for these reasons:

Botulinum toxin A

For dynamic wrinkles of muscular origin (there are also many other indications for Botox, e.g. heavy sweating).
Cost: CHF 350.– to 800.– per session

Filler (hyaluronic acids)

For lack of volume and filling of small wrinkles. During consultation, we will provide you with the information about the active substance, mechanism of action, efficacy spectrum and any potential adverse effects.
Cost: CHF 450.– to 1000.– per session

Autologous blood growth factors (PRP – platelet-rich plasma)

For intensive improvement of skin structure and quality.
Cost: 3 treatment sessions are recommended. First two sessions each CHF 1,000.–; third session CHF 800.–

DermaPen

Strong positive impact on skin structure and elasticity. Scarred areas are also improved significantly.
Cost: Face and neck CHF 650.–.
