What are aesthetic injections?
The aesthetic injections today represent a benchmark solution in aesthetic medicine to find younger-looking skin, smooth and dazzling without surgery. These treatments effectively prevent and correct the visible signs of skin ageing while preserving the natural harmony of your face.
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in our bodies, renowned for its exceptional moisturising properties. Over time, our bodies produce less of it, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles known as dehydration lines. At the same time, we lose collagen at a rate of 1% per year from the age of 20, causing the skin to sag and volumes to shift from top to bottom. Hyaluronic acid and bio-stimulants help to compensate for, and even correct, hydration and volume.
The injections offered in our centres at de Geneva, Lausanne or Nyon use different absorbable products adapted to each specific need. The BOTOX acts on expression lines at the top of the face, while’HYALURONIC ACID or BIOSTIMULANTS (Sculptra or Radiesse) can be used to redefine contours (oval of the face, cheekbones), fill in dark circles, project the chin, moisturise, increase volume or simply redefine lips.
These aesthetic medicine treatments offer the advantage of being gradual, customisable and reversible, thus guaranteeing results that perfectly match your expectations.
