Our skin changes. With age, it loses elasticity and moisture, leading to wrinkles and loss of volume. Targeted wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid offer a gentle and natural way to counteract these signs of aging and restore the skin’s elasticity and vitality.
Hyaluronic acid, or hyaluron, is a naturally occurring substance that is also produced by the human body and is found primarily in connective tissue and joints. When injected into the skin in a targeted manner, this active ingredient can fill in wrinkles, define contours, and provide the skin with lasting moisture. The treatment is particularly suitable for smoothing deeper wrinkles such as nasolabial folds or drooping corners of the mouth and achieving a youthful, fresh appearance.

You should not take any blood-thinning medication for about 2 weeks before the treatment. You should also refrain from alcohol and nicotine during this time. Please come to your appointment without any makeup on.
Wrinkle injections with hyaluronic acid are performed on an outpatient basis and take 15–30 minutes. Anesthesia is not necessary; upon request, we can apply an anesthetic cream to the treatment area.
The filler is injected into the skin using a fine needle, where it takes effect by filling in the sunken skin with volume. Depending on the depth and amount of the injection, wrinkles are reduced or completely smoothed out. In addition, the tissue is supplied with new moisture, making it appear fresher and healthier.
Immediately after treatment, our patients can usually resume their daily routine, but should wait a few days before engaging in sporting activities. They can return to work the following day.
The initial results of the injection are visible immediately, with further visual improvements to the skin gradually taking shape. The final result is usually visible after 1–2 weeks. The effect of hyaluronic acid lasts up to one year before it wears off and the substance is completely broken down by the body. Refreshers can be administered as often as desired.
The cost of hyaluronic acid treatment depends on the area being treated, the complexity of the procedure, and the amount of active ingredient used. Prices generally start at CHF 750. We will provide you with a detailed cost estimate during your personal consultation.
