Introduction

Aesthetic injections have become essential for those who wish to rejuvenate their face without surgery. In Switzerland, the two most requested treatments are Botox and hyaluronic acid fillers. But what are their differences? What results can one expect? And how to choose the solution most suited to your needs?

In this article, our experts at ANAGEN explain everything to help you make an informed choice.

What is Botox?

Botox (botulinum toxin) works by relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines.

• Main indications: forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet.

• Result: a more relaxed face, natural rejuvenating effect.

• Duration: approximately 4 to 6 months.

Ideal for individuals looking toreduce dynamic wrinkles (those that appear with expressions).

What is a filler (hyaluronic acid)?

Fillers are injections of hyaluronic acid that fill volumes and deeply hydrate the skin.

• Main indications: lips, cheekbones, tear trough, jawline, chin.

• Result: harmonious volumes, reshaped face, better hydration.

• Duration: 9 to 18 months depending on the area and product used.

Ideal for restoring volume and correcting signs of skin sagging.

Botox or fillers: what are the differences?

Even though they are often confused, Botox and fillers serve different purposes:

• Botox addresses the cause of dynamic wrinkles by relaxing muscles. It smooths the forehead, eyes, and softens expressions.

• Fillers correct volume loss and redefine facial contours. They act as a natural filler and provide an immediate effect.

In summary, Botox primarily targets expression-related wrinkles, while fillers restore facial harmony by adding volume.

Which treatment to choose?

The choice depends on your aesthetic needs:

• To smooth dynamic wrinkles (forehead, eyes) → Botox.

• To restore volume (cheekbones, lips, chin) → fillers.

• For an overall natural anti-age effect → combination of Botox + fillers.

At ANAGEN, each treatment is personalized after a complete diagnosis to ensure a harmonious and natural result.

Cost of injections in Switzerland

The price varies based on the product used and the area to be treated:

• Botox: from 350 CHF per area.

• Fillers: from 450 CHF per syringe.
