Generally speaking: No. Of course, you decide which wrinkles you want to have treated. Some wrinkles are caused by volume loss of the skin, e.g. the nasolabial folds. Volume loss is compensated with the volume replacement material hyaluron. Likewise, lips can only increase in size by adding volume, i.e. hyaluron filler. Botulinum would only cause severe movement disorders in the lips. Conversely, frown and laugh lines are caused by overactive muscles. Only botulinum intervenes in the muscle activity. In addition, deep frown, forehead and laugh lines can be treated with a thin liquid filler. At the express wish of the patient, treatment with filler alone is also possible, but not optimal.
With PRP, recovery takes a little longer than with botulinum: without the addition of hyaluronic acid, the swellings regress by the next day. With the addition of hyaluron, 48 hours are necessary to absorb all the fluid.
No. The injection of PRP is minimally painful, you should only refrain from sports and sexual activities on the day of treatment. However, you can continue your everyday life without any problems.
Normally, it does not. However, it is recommended to inject partial amounts of botulinum in order to avoid this side effetc.
PRP promotes blood flow and the regeneration of blood vessels in the penis. An increase in length is possible, but should be slight. For a significant increase in length, a surgical intervention is necessary. For penile thickening, i.e. increase in girth, a filler injection is the better choice.
The effect of botulinum usually lasts 3 – 6 months, the effect of hyaluron fillers lasts 6 – 12 months, depending on the product and the treated facial region.
If you have mild pain, you may preferably take paracetamol up to 4x 1 g. Alternatively, you can take ibuprofen up to 4x 400 mg. These recommendations only apply if there is no known intolerance or stomach or kidney problems. You should rather avoid aspirin because it promotes haematomas.
If you have severe pain, significant redness and swelling, contact me immediately on +41 (0) 76 578 11 11 or go to an emergency ward. If you are unsure, do not hesitate to call.
If you have mild cold symptoms without fever, we can still perform treatment. However, if you have a fever or are more seriously ill, we should postpone the treatment for your safety.
In this case, you should postpone the treatment. You are probably suffering from a urinary tract infection or urethritis. Make an appointment with your family doctor right away and postpone the treatment with PRP.
In this case, you should postpone the treatment. Infections, whether bacterial or viral, should heal completely first. Eczema can be aggravated by irritation with peeling (acid). Give the skin another 2 – 3 weeks to recover before making another appointment.
In this case, you should postpone the treatment. Infections, whether bacterial or viral, should first heal completely. With simultaneous injections, there is a risk of bacteria being carried under the skin, where they can cause serious complications.
An injection with filler can trigger a new episode of herpes labialis. If these episodes are very pronounced, prophylactic treatment with aciclovir 2x400mg may be advisable. Alternatively, a treatment with Zovirax cream can be kept ready after the injection, or oral therapy with aciclovir 5x200mg can be started immediately at the first signs of an outbreak.
Botulinum injections in other facial regions do not trigger a herpes spurt.
Some mild swelling after a filler treatment is normal, especially on the lips. Cool with ice. If you feel the filler under the skin, you may massage after 24 hours, applying medium pressure. If you notice redness, swelling and pain, please contact me under +41 (0) 76 578 11 11 or any A&E immediately. If in doubt, do not hesitate to phone in!
Slight swelling after the treatment is normal. Cool with ice. If you should feel the filler, you may massage with light pressure after 24 hours. If, on the other hand, you have severe redness, swelling and pain, contact me immediately on +41 (0) 76 578 11 11 or go to an emergency ward. If you are unsure, do not hesitate to call.
The fluid volume of the plasma needs time to disperse. Without the addition of hyaluron, this takes about one night. With the addition of hyaluron, it takes about 48 hours until no more swelling is visible. Cool the treated areas if necessary.
If, on the other hand, you have severe redness, swelling and pain, contact me immediately on +41 (0) 76 578 11 11 or go to an emergency ward. If you are unsure, do not hesitate to call.
No. Ultimately, the cause of nocturnal teeth grinding remains unknown. Patients often blame psychological stress for their disorder. Botulinum only reduces the mechanical stress exerted on the teeth and the temporomandibular joint. At the same time, a dental exam is necessary as well as a search for potential triggers. The patient benefits from treatment as his pain is alleviated, and his teeth suffer less damage.
The treatment is performed with as little pain as possible. Local anaesthesia by nerve block is possible, which requires two punctures at the base of the penis. Alternatively, an anaesthetic cream can be applied for 15 minutes, which is usually sufficient as an anaesthetic.
All things are poison, and nothing is without poison. The dose alone makes a thing not a poison”. The statement comes from Paracelsus. Botulinum in the right dose in the right place has no poisonous effect. For a lethal dose, an injection of about 50 ampoules intravenously would be necessary. For aesthetic applications, the dosages are far, far lower.
The initial consultation and any laboratory analyses are covered by the basic insurance. The treatment itself, however, is at the patient’s expense, the total cost being around CHF 4300.
3 injections of PRP at intervals of 3 – 4 weeks each cost CHF 1500.
Please have your medication list ready and, if available, a list of known diagnoses or chronic diseases.
The cost depends on the number of hyaluron injection sets or the facial areas treated with botulinum, respectively. Depending on the place of residence of the patient or the location of the place of your choice, I calculate a travel allowance. Please get in touch for an individual quote.
Avoid intensive sun exposure already in the 2 weeks before treatment. After the treatment, it is especially important to apply a sunscreen with a high factor (50 or more) daily (!) and to avoid sun exposure. Likewise, you should not forget to continue the treatment with Home Depigmenting Cream.
Avoid alcohol 24 hours before and after a botulinum treatment. This reduces the risk of bruising.
After a botulinum treatment, you should avoid intense physical activity and intense heat (sauna, intense sun exposure) for 24 hours. Normal physical activity, also on sunny days, has no negative effects.
Do not massage the facial area that has been treated with botulinum.
Avoid alcohol 24 hours before and after a botulinum treatment. This reduces the risk of bruising.
Avoid intense physical activity for 24 hours.
Avoid touching the facial area that has been treated, in order to avoid infections.
On the day of treatment, you should shower at home beforehand. Intimate shaving is not necessary. After the treatment, the injection sites should be kept clean. Short showers are allowed in the following days, but dry the skin well afterwards. You should refrain from sports and sexual activities for 3 days.
Avoiding alcohol on the day of treatment and the day before reduces the risk of bruising. After the injection of PRP into the corpora cavernosa, you should avoid sporting or sexual activities on the same day. Dry well after showering. From the following day, all activities are allowed as usual.
- Avoid alcohol 24 hours before and after the treatment. This will reduce the risk of bruising.
- Avoid intense exercise for the first 24 hours after treatment.
- Let the treated facial area rest and do not touch it too often to avoid infections.
No special precautions are necessary before and after shock wave therapy. After the injection of PRP into the corpora cavernosa, you should avoid sporting or sexual activities on the same day. Dry well after showering. From the following day, all activities are allowed as usual.
Erectile dysfunction is usually a vascular disease. However, other causes can also trigger erectile dysfunction (ED). These are discussed in the consultation, e.g. prostate surgery, spinal trauma, hormone imbalances. ED is often associated with coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus. That is why the consultation also includes an examination and a blood sample. Finally, the extent of ED must be determined using the IIEF (International Index of Erectile Dysfunction) to give an approximate prognosis of possible success. Treatment with shock waves and/or PRP should only be used in patients with a vascular cause. Other erectile aids are an alternative, e.g. PDE-5 inhibitors such as Viagra®, Levitra® or Cialis®, which are considered the first choice for the treatment of ED. The second option is Alprostadil®, which is contained in the products Caverject® or MUSE®. In the consultation, we discuss which treatment is right for you.
