What you should know.

Nothing. The first consultation is free of charge and places you under no obligation. We analyse your facial proportions, expression and skin quality and tell you openly what makes sense and what does not.

Allow about 30 minutes. We schedule our appointments with a buffer so that there is enough time for your questions.

No. Every treatment begins with a consultation in the same appointment, so you can book the treatment you want directly. If the conversation shows that it does not make sense for you, we do not treat. If you are unsure, choose a consultation when booking.

Online on our booking page: choose the treatment and a free slot, enter your details, and the appointment is booked. You can also reach us by phone on +41 44 323 30 60 or on WhatsApp at +41 78 600 14 10.

Physicians only: you are advised and treated by Barbara Matziris, the clinic's medical director. Consultation and treatment are in the same hands.

Please cancel at least 24 hours in advance, by phone or WhatsApp. That way we can offer the slot to someone else.

Guide prices are listed in our price overview, in Swiss francs and as final prices with no surcharges. We give you the binding price after the analysis in the consultation, before any treatment takes place.

No. Billing is private only; treatments cannot be settled through Swiss basic health insurance. This also applies to the medical treatments such as migraine or sweating.

Directly after the treatment at the clinic, in cash, by card or with TWINT.

For the skin quality treatments, yes: if you book a series of three sessions, the price is reduced by ten per cent.

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

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

We charge by area: one area CHF 300, two areas CHF 490, three areas CHF 650, each additional area CHF 150. Forehead, frown line and crow's feet each count as one area.

There is no fixed age. What matters is whether the lines have already set in at rest or only show with movement. We assess this in the consultation.

The effect gradually wears off after three to six months. When you top it up is your decision; no fixed schedule is needed.

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

We work with very fine needles at only a few points. Most people feel a brief prick; anaesthesia is usually not needed.

Yes. Small red marks at the injection points fade quickly. On the day of treatment, please stay upright for a few hours and do not massage the forehead. Avoid sports for 24 hours and sauna for 72 hours.

The full result shows after about two weeks, when we see you for a follow-up. If one side looks stronger than the other, a small top-up usually evens it out. The follow-up and any top-up are included in the price.

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

Only partly. The treatment targets the laughter lines at the outer corner of the eye. Fine crêpey lines directly under the eye are often caused by thin skin and respond better to polynucleotides.

Ideally not until the next day. For the first 24 hours, avoid rubbing the eye area, including when removing make-up.

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.

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.

Where excess skin rests on the upper eyelid, a muscular lift is not enough. In that case we first recommend an assessment by an ophthalmologist or a surgeon.

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.

Yes. They are often planned together with the forehead or frown line, though, because they can become more noticeable once those are treated. In terms of price, they count as an area of their own.

Usually three to six months, as with the other areas of wrinkle treatment.

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.

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.

Usually three to four months. After that the upper lip lifts as before; the treatment can be repeated.

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.

Usually not. The dose is small and stays confined to the chin muscle. Rarely, the lower lip feels temporarily less mobile; this resolves completely.

Usually three to six months.

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.

The smile itself stays the same; what is softened is the downward pull at rest. Because imprecise placement can make the smile temporarily asymmetric, we inject very precisely and at a low dose.

Usually three to four months.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

A series of two to three sessions two to three weeks apart is usual. How many you need depends on your skin. The price applies per session; for a series of three sessions it is reduced by ten per cent.

With thin, crêpey skin under the eye, often yes, because the skin becomes denser and firmer. Shadows caused by volume loss or pigmentation cannot be corrected this way; we clarify this in the consultation.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

A numbing cream can be applied beforehand. What you usually still feel is a tingling or light scratching.

Yes, there is no real downtime. The skin may be red for the first few days, similar to a mild sunburn, and needs consistent sun protection.

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.

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®.

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.

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.

Two sessions about four weeks apart are usual, followed by a top-up after around six months. The price applies per session.

These are the small raised bumps at the five injection points. They are normal and usually settle within a few hours as the product spreads through the tissue.

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.

For declining firmness in the face, where alongside an immediately visible lifting effect the skin quality should also improve over the following months. Whether it suits your skin is something we check in the consultation.

Up to 24 months. Part of it is visible immediately; the final result shows after about three months, once new collagen has formed.

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.

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.

Usually two to three sessions four to six weeks apart, because collagen builds up gradually. The price applies per session; for a series of three sessions it is reduced by ten per cent.
