Ask via WhatsAppHow treatment works here.
Every treatment starts with a conversation: what bothers you, what do you expect, what makes medical sense – and what does not? Sometimes the outcome of that conversation is advice against treatment.
The aim is a natural result. Dosage and technique are matched to your anatomy and facial expression so your own expression is preserved. Effect, durability, possible side effects and alternatives are discussed openly beforehand.
Treatments are carried out by the physician herself – consultation, injection and follow-up stay in one pair of hands. Appointments are by arrangement so there is enough time.
The practice treats patients in German, English and Farsi.
