Our History
Starting with a bold move

The beginnings

More than fifteen years ago, on July 13, 2007, Smoothline was founded in Zurich by physicians Philippe Snozzi and Dan Iselin. It was a bold move that generated a certain amount of public opinion, press reports and controversy, as 30-minute wrinkle treatments were still relatively unheard of in Switzerland at that time. Since then quite a lot has changed, and many people have been relieved of their worry lines – indeed, Smoothline has carried out over 84,000 treatments in more than 15 years..

An innovative concept

Smoothline started life as a walk-in clinic at a hair salon in Kirchgasse. Every Monday, the hair salon was transformed into a beauty clinic where customers could drop in without an appointment and have their wrinkles treated by one of the two physicians. This was a brand new concept, since at that time the practical walk-in concept and the acceptance of botulinum toxin beauty treatments were far less widespread than they are today.
