Botulinum toxin injections in Switzerland - Smooth wrinkles without surgery
Botulinum toxin treatment (Botox® type) is a recognized technique for reducing expression lines and refining facial features, without surgery or social exclusion. By acting on muscle contraction, this treatment subtly relaxes certain areas, giving a more rested, youthful and natural appearance.
What is botulinum toxin used for?
Botox® injections are particularly effective in treating :
- Forehead wrinkles,
- The lion’s wrinkle (between the eyebrows),
- Crow’s feet wrinkles (corners of the eyes),
- Certain lower-face indications (platysmal cords, gummy smile, etc.).
The effect obtained is gradual and reversible, making it an ideal solution for those seeking a gentle improvement without radical modification.
