What is that?
In our practice, we use an innovative method for gentle appetite regulation: a botulinum toxin injection in a specific ear region to effectively reduce the feeling of hunger. This application integrates modern neurological findings with minimally invasive technology – in line with our holistic approach, which combines aesthetics and well-being.
This is how it works:
The auricular branch of the vagus nerve runs in the auricle and plays a key role in hunger signals. The targeted injection of a few units of botulinum toxin (BTX-A) at the auricular recess modulates signal transmission, resulting in a significantly increased feeling of fullness even with a small amount of food.
The process – clear & customer-friendly
