Frequently asked questions

What you should know.

Answers to the questions we are asked most often.

Wrinkle Treatment.

Learn more
Forehead LinesHow quickly does the treatment work?

Initial effects usually appear after 3 to 5 days, with the full result visible after about two weeks.

Learn more
Forehead LinesWill it be visible that I was treated?

With expert, individually dosed application, expression remains naturally mobile — a "frozen" look is not the goal.

Learn more
Glabellar Frown LineWill the treatment change my expression?

Properly placed, your gaze appears more relaxed and open — your natural brow shape is preserved.

Learn more
Crow's FeetWill I still be able to smile naturally?

Yes. Dosing is chosen so that the eye area remains lively when smiling, merely softening the depth of lines.

Learn more
Brow LiftHow much does the brow actually lift?

The effect is typically in the range of a few millimetres. This is a subtle refinement of expression, not a substitute for a surgical lift.

Learn more
Brow LiftCan a brow lift be combined with other treatments?

Yes. It is often planned alongside treatment of crow's feet or the glabellar line, as all three areas are muscularly connected. Dosing is then calibrated as one overall concept.

Learn more
Bunny LinesWhy do bunny lines become more noticeable after other treatments?

When the forehead and glabella are relaxed, part of the expression shifts to neighbouring muscles. The nasal muscle then works slightly harder, which can make these lines more visible. This is why the area is often included in the same treatment plan.

Learn more
Gummy SmileWill my smile look different?

The shape of the smile is preserved — only how far the upper lip travels upward changes. With restrained dosing, the difference reads in everyday life as more harmonious, not as a different expression.

Learn more
Gummy SmileWho is this treatment not suitable for?

If the visible gum results from jaw position or tooth length, it cannot be influenced muscularly. In that case, the consultation will point toward dental or maxillofacial assessment.

Learn more
Cobblestone ChinCan this be combined with chin contouring?

Yes. Muscular relaxation and structural volume with hyaluronic acid address different causes and often complement each other. Whether both make sense is assessed during the analysis of the lower face.

Learn more
Corners of the MouthIs muscular treatment alone enough?

That depends on how much volume loss already exists around the mouth corner. If the descent is predominantly muscular, relaxing the muscle suffices. Where structural loss is also present, a combination with hyaluronic acid is often discussed.

Learn more
Lip FlipWill my lip become bigger?

No. No material is introduced. More of the lip becomes visible because it turns outward rather than inward. For actual volume we recommend hyaluronic acid — and the two can be combined.

Learn more
Lip FlipHow long does the result last?

Two to three months, so shorter than a wrinkle treatment. The muscle around the mouth is constantly in motion and breaks the product down correspondingly faster.

Learn more
Lip FlipCan I speak and drink normally afterwards?

As a rule, yes. Some describe an unfamiliar sensation when whistling or drinking from a bottle in the first week. We dose deliberately low so that this stays the exception.

Learn more
Platysma and Nefertiti LiftDoes this replace a neck lift?

No. The treatment releases the pull of the muscle and thereby sharpens the contour. It cannot remove excess skin. Where skin has clearly lost its firmness we say so plainly and recommend a surgical assessment.

Learn more
Platysma and Nefertiti LiftWhat is the difference between the platysma treatment and the Nefertiti lift?

The platysma treatment relaxes the visible bands on the neck. The Nefertiti lift additionally treats the fibres pulling down along the jaw margin — which is where the effect on the contour comes from. Which one suits you follows from assessing the muscle under tension.

Learn more
Platysma and Nefertiti LiftHow long does the result last?

Three to four months. The neck is constantly in motion, so the product breaks down somewhat faster than in the upper face.

Learn more

Hyaluronic contouring.

Learn more
Lip TreatmentWill the lips look artificial afterwards?

The goal is a balanced result that suits your own anatomy. We work with restrained dosing and build volume gradually over multiple sessions if needed.

Learn more
Cheeks & Volume RestorationWill my face look fuller afterwards?

The aim is not more volume but volume in the right place. Built structurally and with restraint, the face reads as more supported and more awake — not fuller. The quantity follows the original anatomy, not an ideal.

Learn more
Cheeks & Volume RestorationHow long does the result last?

Depending on the product, the treated area, and individual metabolism, usually twelve to eighteen months. Breakdown is gradual, so there is no abrupt transition.

Learn more
JawlineWill this make the face wider?

With expert placement along the bone, the jawline appears more defined, not wider — contouring follows individual anatomy.

Learn more
Chin ContourDoes this replace chin surgery?

No. Contouring with hyaluronic acid works with soft tissue and achieves a subtle, reversible change in projection. For pronounced skeletal discrepancies, maxillofacial assessment remains the appropriate route.

Learn more
Nasolabial FoldWhy is the cheek sometimes treated instead of the fold?

Because the fold is often only the visible result of volume loss higher up. Filling the fold alone while the support above it is missing can make the area look heavy. Treating the cause usually gives a more natural result with less material.

Learn more
Nasolabial FoldWill the fold disappear completely?

Complete smoothing is neither realistic nor the goal. The nasolabial fold is part of normal facial anatomy and is visible in everyone when smiling. What is treated is its etched depth at rest, not the fold as such.

Learn more
Marionette LinesIs the chin treated at the same time?

Often, yes. Marionette lines, chin contour, and jawline form one anatomical unit. Considering the line in isolation often falls short of what is achievable. Whether to extend the treatment is discussed in the consultation, never assumed.

Learn more
Dissolving Hyaluronic Acid with HylaseWhen can new filler be injected after Hylase?

We recommend waiting at least 10 to 14 days. Once the tissue has completely settled and the old material is fully cleared, a fresh, natural contouring can be performed.

Learn more
Dissolving Hyaluronic Acid with HylaseHow quickly does Hylase take effect?

The enzyme begins working immediately upon injection. Noticeable changes occur within hours, with the final result visible after 3 to 7 days.

Learn more
Dissolving Hyaluronic Acid with HylaseDoes Hylase damage natural tissue?

Hylase predominantly targets the cross-linked synthetic filler. While natural tissue hyaluronic acid may experience minor transient depletion, the body fully regenerates it within days.

Learn more

Skin quality & regeneration.

Learn more
PolynucleotidesWhat are polynucleotides made of?

Highly purified DNA fragments obtained from fish and refined through several purification steps. With a known fish or seafood allergy the treatment is therefore not suitable — please raise this during your consultation.

Learn more
PolynucleotidesHow does this differ from a hyaluronic acid treatment such as Profhilo®?

Profhilo® works with hyaluronic acid and acts mainly through water binding. Polynucleotides also bind moisture but additionally have a regenerating and calming effect on the tissue. With very thin or irritated skin, particularly under the eye, the choice therefore often falls on polynucleotides.

Learn more
PRP/PRF · FaceIs PRP/PRF a fully natural procedure?

Yes, only your own body's material is used — no foreign substances are involved.

Learn more
PRP/PRF · FaceHow many sessions do I need?

Usually three to four sessions four weeks apart. The change builds over weeks because the skin does the work itself — judging right after the first session would be premature.

Learn more
PRP/PRF · FaceCan PRP/PRF be combined with medical microneedling?

Yes, and often it makes sense. The medical microneedling opens fine channels through which the plasma reaches the skin across the whole area. We offer this as a treatment in its own right. Which treatment makes most sense for you depends among other things on the skin findings and is discussed in the consultation.

Learn more
PRP/PRF · FaceDo you also treat hair with PRP/PRF?

Yes, on the scalp where hair is thinning. The procedure is the same, the aim is different. We carry this out as a treatment in its own right.

Learn more
PRP/PRF · HairIs PRP/PRF a fully natural procedure?

Yes, only your own body's material is used — no foreign substances are involved.

Learn more
PRP/PRF · HairWhat is PRP/PRF for hair suited to — and what not?

It makes sense with thinning hair as long as the follicles are still present. Where scarring has occurred or no follicles remain, there is nothing to stimulate. What applies to you is assessed during the consultation, based on the scalp and hair density.

Learn more
PRP/PRF · HairWhen will I see a change?

After three months at the earliest, because the change follows the hair growth cycle rather than the treatment. Three to four sessions four weeks apart are planned; assessment comes after those, not between them.

Learn more
PRP/PRF · HairDoes PRP/PRF replace a hair transplant?

No. PRP/PRF works with the follicles that are still there — it does not add new ones. Where nothing grows any more, a transplant is recommended, not PRP/PRF. What makes sense in your case is assessed from the scalp and hair density during the consultation.

Learn more
Medical MicroneedlingHow many sessions are recommended?

For a visible result, we generally recommend a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Learn more
Medical MicroneedlingHow does this differ from cosmetic microneedling?

Mainly needle depth. We work with the medical version of the device, which reaches three millimetres; devices used cosmetically stay considerably shallower. That makes shallow scarring and deeper structural change treatable — and which depth suits your skin is a medical judgement.

Learn more
AQUAGOLD® fine touchHow does this differ from medical microneedling?

Medical microneedling creates deliberate micro-injuries so the skin responds by forming its own collagen — the stimulus is the treatment. AQUAGOLD® instead delivers a solution; what matters is what reaches the skin. Downtime is therefore considerably shorter — but AQUAGOLD® works on the freshness of the skin, not on its structure.

Learn more
AQUAGOLD® fine touchHow long does the result last?

Usually three to six weeks. This is the treatment for a fresher complexion, not for a different skin structure — anyone looking for change that lasts months is better served by medical microneedling or a collagen stimulator such as Sculptra®. Both can be combined with AQUAGOLD®.

Learn more
AQUAGOLD® fine touchWhat does the solution contain?

That is determined individually for each skin and discussed with you in the consultation — depending on the findings, skin type, and treatment goal. There is no standard mixture.

Learn more
Profhilo®Does Profhilo® change my facial contour?

No. Because the product is not cross-linked, it forms no volume in place but spreads diffusely. What is treated is the quality of the skin, not its shape.

Learn more
HArmonyCa®Can the result be reversed?

Only partly. The hyaluronic acid component can be dissolved with hyaluronidase; the calcium hydroxylapatite component cannot — it is broken down by the body alone. For this reason dosing is deliberately restrained and the indication carefully reviewed beforehand.

Learn more
Sculptra®Why do I have to massage after the treatment?

Massage distributes the product evenly through the tissue and reduces the risk of palpable nodules. With this method it is an integral part of aftercare; you will receive specific instructions covering frequency and duration.

Learn more
Sculptra®How does Sculptra® differ from a hyaluronic acid treatment?

Hyaluronic acid creates volume immediately and is dissolvable. Sculptra® creates no volume of its own but stimulates the body's own collagen — the result develops more slowly, lasts longer, and cannot be dissolved. Which method suits depends on the findings and the desired progression.

Learn more

Medical Indications.

Learn more
Masseter & Teeth GrindingHow long until the jaw appears slimmer?

The contouring effect usually becomes visible after 4 to 8 weeks, as the muscle gradually reduces in size.

Learn more
Masseter & Teeth GrindingDoes the treatment really help with grinding?

Many patients report significantly less nighttime grinding and tension. For pronounced bruxism, we also recommend a dental evaluation.

Learn more
Sweating of the Underarms and ForeheadDoes my sweating have to be pathological for you to treat it?

No. Hyperhidrosis is a diagnosis with clear criteria: sweating far beyond what temperature regulation calls for, with a noticeable limitation in daily life. Anyone who simply does not want a wet shirt in a meeting usually does not meet those criteria — and can still be treated. Method, dosing, and safety are the same. What we will not do is record a diagnosis that does not apply.

Learn more
Sweating of the Underarms and ForeheadHow long does the effect last?

Depending on the body region, the effect typically lasts 6 to 9 months, often longest in the underarms.

Learn more
Chronic MigraineWhen does migraine count as chronic?

Usually at least 15 headache days per month over more than three months, of which at least eight meet the criteria for migraine. Below that threshold the treatment is not indicated — even where the attacks are severe.

Learn more
Chronic MigraineDoes it also help in episodic migraine?

No. The registration studies showed no benefit in episodic migraine. In that case we do not treat, and discuss in consultation which other routes make sense.

Learn more
Chronic MigraineDo I need a diagnosis from a neurologist?

The diagnosis of chronic migraine is normally established neurologically — it is the basis for the treatment being indicated at all. Please bring any existing findings and your headache diary to the first consultation.

Learn more
Chronic MigraineHow much is injected — and is that included in the price?

The protocol provides for 155 units across 31 injection sites. At the physician's discretion, up to 40 further units may be added where the pain sits strongest. Both are included in the price — we do not bill by quantity. We do not offer a reduced protocol with fewer injection sites, because the benefit is only established for the full one.
