Facial aesthetic medicine in Geneva
Facial aesthetic medicine covers expression lines, dermal fillers, skinboosters and peels. Every act starts with a medical consultation and is performed by a doctor. Here is how to approach it by indication.
By indication, never by product name
Aesthetic medicine is medicine. In Switzerland these acts are framed by rules, and they are performed by a doctor after an assessment, not in a beauty salon. We describe options by what they address, such as expression lines or volume loss, rather than by brand names, which is also the legal way to talk about them.
Nothing is injected without a consultation. A good doctor listens to your goal, examines you, explains the options, their limits and their risks, and is comfortable telling you when an act is not indicated.
What a fair proposal looks like
A clear proposal sets out the indication, the approach, what to expect and what it will not do. It does not promise a fixed result, because outcomes depend on each face and each situation.
If you ever feel pushed toward a quick decision, that is a reason to pause. A second opinion is always legitimate, and a reputable clinic will not object to it.
Treat the area you have in mind
From consultation to follow-up
It all starts with a medical consultation: no injection without a prior assessment.
Consultation
The doctor listens to your goal, examines you and explains the options, limits and risks.
The act
If indicated, the act is performed by the doctor, with your informed consent.
Follow-up
A review assesses the result and adjusts if needed.
Before a consultation
- Mention your history, allergies and current treatments.
- Some situations such as pregnancy or active infection are contra-indications.
- No result is guaranteed; the aim is a measured, natural outcome.
- Acts are performed by a doctor, never in a beauty salon.
Your questions
Who performs the treatment?
A doctor, after a consultation. Aesthetic medicine acts are medical and are not performed in a beauty salon.
Will the result look natural?
That is the goal of a measured approach. No result can be guaranteed, and a careful doctor aims for a subtle, natural outcome rather than a dramatic change.
Are there situations where it is not advised?
Yes. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active infections and certain conditions are contra-indications. This is exactly what the consultation is for.
Do I have to decide on the day?
No. Taking time to think, or seeking a second opinion, is always reasonable and a serious clinic will respect that.
