Wrinkle treatments

At the Face Atelier, which is part of the Plastic Surgery Pyramid, we offer various treatments to reduce wrinkles and maintain a fresh and youthful appearance. Our focus is on minimally invasive procedures that are customised to your individual needs.

Wrinkle treatment - minimally invasive for natural results

Our wrinkle treatments aim to reduce age-related changes in the skin. These treatments are gentle and lead to natural results.

Treatment methods

• Botulinum toxin A: For smoothing mimic wrinkles such as forehead wrinkles, frown lines (glabella wrinkles) and crow's feet. Botox works by reducing muscle activity and thus preventing wrinkles from deepening.
• Hyaluronic acid fillers: Ideal for compensating for volume loss and reducing deep wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Fillers are particularly suitable for cheek augmentation, lip contouring and reducing dark circles.

Wrinkle smoothing is carried out with botulinum toxin type A. This substance inhibits the transmission of impulses between the nerves and muscles so that the muscles can no longer contract. As a result, wrinkles caused by excessive muscle activity are smoothed out.

Application

• Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabella wrinkles)
• Crow's feet / laugh lines around the eyes
• Forehead wrinkles
• Drooping corners of the mouth
• Upper lip wrinkles (smoker's lines)
• Chin crease
• Vertical neck wrinkles
• Nose wrinkles (bunny lines)
• Therapy for excessive sweating (so-called hyperhidrosis)
• Treatment of muscle hypertrophy and muscle spasms (masseter).

Botulinum toxin A is injected into the muscles with a fine needle and acts locally. The improvement is usually seen after 2 to 3 days, the full effect within a week and lasts up to 6 months. Physical exertion should be avoided on the day of treatment and the day after.

When injecting wrinkles with fillers, we use high-quality hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume and fill in deeper wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid, a natural component of connective tissue, binds water and ensures firm, elastic skin. The hyaluronic acid content decreases with age, causing the skin to sag and wrinkles to deepen. Artificially produced hyaluron replaces this deficit and gives the skin freshness and volume.

There are permanent and non-permanent fillers, whereby the latter, such as hyaluronic acid, are preferred as they are broken down by the body and are characterised by good tolerance. At Face Atelier, we only use degradable hyaluronic fillers.

Application:

• Nasolabial folds
• Lip augmentation and lip contouring
• Cheek augmentation
• Marionette wrinkles
• Acne treatment
• Reduction of dark circles
• Skin hydration (skin booster)

The treatment is carried out using fine injections, with local anaesthetic if required. The results are immediately visible and usually last 9 to 12 months.

Skinbooster for skin improvement

Rehydration of the skin plays a central role in aesthetic medicine. The Skinbooster uses a special hyaluronic acid product that is injected deep under the skin with a blunt cannula to improve elasticity and skin structure and reduce fine lines. Unlike conventional fillers, the Skinbooster provides comprehensive hydration and makes the skin look fresher and more radiant.

This treatment is suitable for all skin types and age groups, especially for acne scars or sun-damaged skin. It can be used on the face, hands, neck and décolleté, also as a complement to surgical procedures such as facelifts or laser treatments.

Products used

We use products from Teoxane Laboratories in Geneva. The fillers have a unique RHA technology. Teoxane Laboratories is the first company to emphasise the natural movement of your face with its innovative TEOSYAL RHA® product line.

Risks and side effects

The treatment is generally well tolerated and possible side effects are generally mild and only temporary. Slight discomfort may occur immediately after the injection, but this will subside after two days.

Possible side effects include localised bruising and temporary redness or swelling at the injection site. Allergic reactions are very rare. After taking blood-thinning medication, e.g. aspirin, you should wait a week before treatment, as otherwise the risk of haematoma may be increased.
