When we are young, our cheekbones have a smooth shape and perfect elasticity.

The cheekbones are supported by a fat tissu layer, which is thicker than in any other face area. But this fat tissue is not fixed and therefore it can change its aspect.

The cheekbones can collapse progressively, due to the fat loss or the tissue loosening.

That is when the nasolabial folds can become noticeable, giving the face an aged and severe appearance.

We will therefore volumize the cheekbones and restore the face contour using fillers : hyaluronic acid injections in the cheekbones.

In case of very hollow cheekbones, this procedure can also be used to reconstruct the entire cheek, resulting in an overall reshaped face.

The purpose here is to restructure and redefine the face oval in a natural way.

Not only are the forehead wrinkles a well known sign of aging skin, but they also create an unpleasant, strict look on your face.

With age, horizontal lines stretch along the forehead, becoming even more noticeable when you raise the eyebrows. Frowning, on the other hand, makes the lion’s wrinkle visible.

But this is far from being irreparable.

The botulinum toxin injections are a very efficient treatment for the glabellar lines between the eyebrows (the so called lion’s wrinkles).

The botulinum toxin has indeed a relaxing and smoothing effect on all the muscles involved in these wrinkles, preventing them from contracting.

Botulinum toxin injections in the lion’s wrinkle act on the ”corrugator” and the ”procerus” muscles.

Rebuilding volume in the hollow temples with hyaluronic acid injections

Hollow temples can lead to shadow areas, making the entire bone structure more visible and creating an aged look.

As your skin ages, it loses fat tissue in the temporal area, causing the temples to become hollow. Furthermore, this volume loss can also affect the eyebrows, making their external edge sink progressively.

With this in mind, you can actually opt for a global rejuvenating treatment of the whole central area of the face, in which case we will simultaneously treat the eyelids, the crow’s feet and the lowered eyebrows.

The hyaluronic acid injection in the temples will help rebuilding volume.

The aim here is to remodel this entire area in a natural way, make the unpleasant shadows disappear and gently lift the eyebrows.

The procedure results in a younger, rejuvenated look.

Eyebrow surgery: injections of hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin to raise the eyebrows

The eyebrows are an important element guaranteeing the harmony of the face. A high, fleshy, convex and well-drawn eyebrow illuminates the whole face and gives it a harmonious balance. Much easier to wear makeup! Over time, you can see the lowering of the eyebrow, the tail of the eyebrow that will fall, or even the loss of its curve. Too low eyebrows will give a dark look to the face, slightly shapely eyebrows will age the look, and a drooping tip will give a sad and tired look.

 This is why naturally correcting the eyebrowscan make you look younger and more sparkling.

We are going to inject botulinum toxininto the muscle around the eyes, into the orbicularis muscle, responsible for the lowering of the eyebrow, in order to correct eyebrows that are too low. You can also inject hyaluronic acid into the tail of the eyebrow to level and lift it up.

We thus find well-drawn eyebrows and a harmonious curve.

Eyebrow injections to rejuvenate the eyes and erase wrinkles around the eyes in Geneva, Switzerland

This objective of harmonious curve takes up the principle of the Chic Lift®, by smoothing the passage from the temple to the cheekbones without notch or unsightly shadow, which then forms an elegant “C” around the eye and beautifies the look. The injections in the eyebrows will therefore make it possible to raise the eyebrows and raise an excessively drooping point, but also to rejuvenate the look. The eye appears more open, the look is brighter, and the wrinkles around the eyes are reduced.

You might be uncomfortable with different aspects of your lips, but these can all be corrected.

Firstly, you might find your lips too thin, and be frustrated with the lacking volume.

Lips volume can easily be enhanced and the contour reshaped using hyaluronic acid injections. The procedure will redefine the lip boarders, enhance the lip fullness and restore their volume. The hyaluronic acid can even be used to slightly lift the mouth corners up.

Secondly, you might be unhappy with the lines around your mouth, or even the upper lip wrinkles (the so called ”barcode” lines).

These ”dynamic” wrinkles can all be treated with botulinum toxin injections in the orbicular muscle, which is responsible for their development.

But the lips are not the only element pointing out the aging lower face.

The perioral area, such as the dewlap, the chin and the neck are also affected by sagging skin.

We can even restore chin volume if your chin is too small, using hyaluronic acid fillers.

Sagging skin is one of the first signs of aging, because the skin progressively loses elasticity and tissue quality.

The connective tissue of the skin changes and becomes thinner, the elastic fibers decrease. The number of collagen fibers also diminishes, while the hydration becomes less efficient and the blood circulation slower.

The skin is not only affected by natural aging, but also tarnished by various external factors.

The sagging skin condition occurs generally along with volume loss in different face areas.

The entire skin looks aged and dull.

But there are very efficient cosmetic treatments against all these unpleasant changes. Our specific procedures aim to stimulate the cell renewal, boost the collagen production and make your face look younger.

Our treatments against sagging skin :

-> Exfoliation, or peeling: activates the cell renewal

-> Photodynamic therapy, or LED therapy: stimulates the collagen production and helps restore the quality of the skin. This is a great treatment for aging skin conditions but also for scars, acne or stretch marks. It can also be used successfully in slow healing cases.

-> Photorejuvenation, or IPL (intense pulse light):  boosts the collagen and elastic fibers synthesis, reducing skin imperfections (brown spots, blood vessels, fine lines, rosacea…)

-> Mesotherapy  / skin booster : will strengthen and densify the skin. The procedure involves injecting a combination of hyaluronic acid and several nutritive and invigorating products.

-> The “BB Program” (Beauty Booster): we have developed a specific medical program for a bright and rejuvenated face. This program combines 4 different treatments (exfoliation, photodynamic therapy, IPL, mesotherapy), for specific and complexe results.

Unwanted skin conditions can occur at any age.

Scars, be they the consequence of an injury or of a surgery, can often be annoyingly noticeable. The difference between the healing skin and the original skin can be more or less visible.

Stretch marks are another unpleasant issue, caused by a pregnancy, a sudden weight loss or different other factors.

But the majority of patients asking for a consultation in our clinic complain about the low quality of skin. Dull skin, loss of tone and elasticity, an overall tired skin.

All these issues can be efficiently treated with the LED Therapy (also referred to as LED Phototherapy, or LED light therapy) : a non-invasive, rejuvenating procedure designed to accelerate the healing, revitalize the skin and restore its radiance and tone.

The nose is a very important part of the face, and a source of frustration to many people.

Sometimes the nose is too small, or too big, or too wide. There can also be issues related to a bump on the bridge of the nose, a nasal tip that droops, nostrils that are excessively flared, or small wrinkles between the nose and the forehead.

If you want to reshape or correct your nose, there are two options you could consider.

Surgical rhinoplasty is performed under anesthesia, and aims to reshape the bone and cartilage. A few weeks recovery is necessary, the nose swelling must go down before you can see results.

But today, you can also consider a much less invasive, non surgical option.

Natural medical rhinoplasty is a cosmetic procedure performed by hyaluronic acid injections, with very good results in correcting nose issues. It is a mild and natural procedure, with temporary results that you can see immediately and will last for 12 to 18 months.

Natural medical rhinoplasty can correct a bump on the nose, a nasal tip that droops or a deficient structure.

We actually designed a global concept called the Eiffel Tower Nose Lift® to offer our patients a complete and global nose treatment: we recreate a solid base and a nicely shaped nose bridge, but also an optimal nasolabial angle, restoring nasal tip support and projection. It is a mild and safe procedure.

This will resulting in a better balance of the facial features.

During your first consultation, you will be able to see a 3D simulation in order to determine your specific needs and expectations.

Sweating can make everyone uncomfortable. Nothing is more unpleasant than having halos under the arms during a meeting because of the stress or the high temperatures.

But sometimes sweat doesn’t occur because of the heat, but because you suffer from excessive sweating, which is a consequence of the glands overactivity.

Excessive sweating can also be an embarrassment because of the smell.

Did you know that you can dramatically reduce perspiration with a simple and natural procedure using botulinum toxin ?

botulinum toxin naturally reduces perspiration.

botulinum toxin is known for its wrinkle reducing action, but less known for its anti-perspiration effects.

When used for wrinkles, botulinum toxin injections act on the neurotransmitter that carries the contraction information to the muscle. botulinum toxin will thus inhibit the contraction. The same thing happens with the neurotransmitter responsible for sending perspiration information to the glands : the botulinum toxin injections will inhibit the sweat secretion.

Some people use botulinum toxin injections to reduce sweating during the summer heat, and feel more comfortable wearing their favorite summer outfits.

Dark circles can be caused by aging, fatigue, an unhealthy lifestyle or simply by genetic factors.

Dark circles tend to make your face appear tired and aged, especially as they can widen and develop various colors.

There are several types of dark circles :

– Black, purplish, gray or brown colored rings, which are due to poor blood circulation revealing pigmented blood vessels.

– Hollow rings, caused by a saggy or loose skin, or by the the loss of fat under the eye.

Furthermore, different other skin alterations can tarnish the look of your eyes, like bags under the eyes, or wrinkles and fine lines.

But today, several non intrusive procedures can help fighting the dark circles under the eyes and give your eyes a brighter, more youthful look :

– Hyaluronic acid fillers, which will reshape the under-eye circles and the hollow areas.
– Peeling, which will allow your skin to renew itself, thus creating a rejuvenated appearance.

botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid injections for the eyelids and blepharoplasty

With age, the skin develops a sagging appearance, because tissues lose firmness and elasticity. Aging is not the only cause of skin slackening, this can also occur after taking up too much weight or loosing weight too fast and too frequently.

The skin slackening generally occurs along with a volume loss in several face areas.

Sagging skin mostly affects the eyelid area, because the skin is thin and fragile.

In order to fight drooping eyelids, restore the volume and give the eye area a more youthful look, two procedures can be used, one non-surgical and the other one surgical :

– botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid injections in the eyelids : combining botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid will reshape and revolumize the eyelids, while simultaneously lifting the eyebrow. 

The entire eye area will benefit from this rejuvenating action.
Injections can be a first step before surgery.

– Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) consists in removing excess skin and fat bulges and even reducing eye wrinkles.
