Frown line removal Zurich

The frown line is actually called the glabellar line. It is located directly above the root of the nose, right between the eyebrows. It usually runs horizontally, sometimes it appears as a transverse wrinkle - in some cases as a combination of both. Glabellar wrinkles develop during life as a result of facial expressions, but they are often genetic. They can appear at a very young age, sometimes very pronounced. As so-called frown lines, they easily convey a stern or grumpy impression.

The most common method to remove frown lines is botulinum toxin injections. The muscle relaxant is injected into the fine muscles around the wrinkle. You will see the first effects after a few days, and you can expect the maximum result after about two weeks. The session only takes a few minutes. At the Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich we also use hyaluronic acid filler for deep wrinkles. The hyaluronic filler gently fills the tissue. Your advantage from the combination of botulinum toxin and filler: the skin is clearly smoothed immediately after the treatment.

To remove your frown lines, we place pinpoint injections of botulinum toxin into the muscle tissue around the depressions. The active ingredient blocks special nerves and thus causes the fine muscles to relax. As a result, the skin smoothes out - wrinkles disappear. Our specialist, Mrs Georgouli, is an expert in the field of aesthetic medicine - apart from a slight prick, you will not feel anything from the treatment. If you wish, we will also numb the skin area with an anaesthetic ointment. We often combine the injection of your frown line with wrinkle treatment for crow's feet and forehead wrinkles.

If the frown lines are removed with botulinum toxin, you will see the first effects after a few days. It takes an average of two weeks to achieve the optimum result. We achieve an immediate effect with an additional filler treatment. We will discuss which method is best suited to you before your treatment at the Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich.

Injections with botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid are effective for several months. Depending on your constitution, the active ingredient is broken down by the body more quickly or later. The treatment can be repeated after four to six months. In most cases, we need less active ingredient in further sessions to achieve the desired result. After all, the forehead muscles were significantly less tense for several months. As a positive side effect, the smoothing of wrinkles lasts longer from treatment to treatment.

Immediately after we have removed your frown lines, you can usually go about your everyday activities as usual. The treated areas should not be massaged or irritated intensively for the next few days. In some cases, slight bruising or swelling may occur after the treatment. If you wish, you can lightly cover the areas with make-up. If possible, refrain from sweat-inducing sports, sauna and solarium visits for a few days.

The optimum treatment result is achieved after around two weeks. The treatment can be refreshed as required.

The cost of injecting the frown line at the Swiss Derma Clinic in Zurich start from CHF 350 (check our current pricing). Our dermatology doctor will inform you in detail before the treatment.
