Botulinum Toxin
Often signs of aging on the face have not progressed enough to require facial plastic surgery. You might be interested in a non-surgical way to soften lines and creases for example, between the eyebrows (frown lines). Women and men can look years younger with quick, effective Botulinum Toxin treatments in Geneva, Switzerland at the Concept Clinic.

How It Works
Instead of replacing lost facial volume and "plumping" wrinkles as injectable fillers do, Botulinum Toxin smoothes out wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause them. Within 3 to 5 days after treatment, the skin will begin to gradually smooth out as muscle movement quiets. In rare cases, patients might have a light headache for 24-48 hours and a transitory weakness of the eyelid has been described as a rare complication in the medical literature. Final results are reached over the following 7 to 10 days and last for 4 to 6 months. For Dr Schlaudraff, the aim of Botulinum Toxin treatments is to reduce the activity of the facial muscles while maintaining the natural expressions of the face and avoiding the unpleasant "frozen look."
Treatments
We perform Botulinum Toxin treatments during a quick office visit. A short, fine needle is used to make the injections, so there is little to no pain. These treatments can be performed alone, in combination with injectable fillers, and to enhance facial plastic surgery procedure results. When you visit us for a consultation, we will develop a treatment plan that will help you attain the improvements you desire.
