Facial injections, whether hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin , are no longer aimed at transforming features, but rather at preserving the face's natural harmony. Patients now seek subtle and harmonious results, avoiding excess. In Geneva and throughout French-speaking Switzerland, the trend is toward naturalness: preserving facial expression and balance rather than altering them.
Starting injections doesn't depend on a specific age, but rather on the condition of the skin and personal goals. From age 25, they can be used preventively to maintain hydration and slow down skin sagging. Later, they serve to restore volume and tone, while preserving a natural appearance.
This article explains how to achieve a harmonious result, which techniques to favor, and when it is useful to consider a first injection, depending on the needs of each face.
A natural injection is defined not by the product's composition, but by the result: a relaxed, expressive face without excess volume. Hyaluronic acid, a molecule naturally present in the skin, is now one of the most widely used products for its hydrating and plumping effect.
With an experienced practitioner, a successful injection is noticeable by what is invisible. The goal is to improve the radiance and texture of the facial skin without altering its unique character.
At Clinique de la Croix d'Or, each treatment plan is based on a precise analysis of the patient's facial volume, skin type, and natural expressions. For more details, please see our page on Hyaluronic Acid Injections in Geneva .
Yes, provided the procedure is performed by a professional trained in facial anatomy. The secret to a natural result lies in precise dosage and a comprehensive understanding of the face. Modern techniques, such as microfilling or progressive injections, allow for a rejuvenating effect without stiffening the features.
There is no fixed age. It all depends on skin type, lifestyle, and aesthetic expectations. However, doctors generally agree that there are three main age groups, and that each group has its own specific treatments:
This gradual approach helps to avoid sudden changes and preserve the balance of the face.
Two main molecules are used for discreet and harmonious injections:
According to the Swiss Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SSME), these treatments are safe and effective when performed by a qualified professional. The Clinique de la Croix d'Or prioritizes certified products and recognized techniques to guarantee safe and natural-looking results.
In other words, a natural result relies as much on technique as on precision. Here are the main pitfalls to avoid:
Rigorous medical supervision is essential.
Before an injection session, a medical and aesthetic check-up is essential: you should report any current treatment or allergy history, stop alcohol and anti-inflammatories the day before, and choose a qualified practitioner who will be able to adapt the product to your morphology and skin.
The duration varies according to the product, the area treated and individual metabolism: for hyaluronic acid, the effect is often between 6 and 18 months. If there is no follow-up or maintenance, the treatment poses no major risk, but the effect gradually diminishes and the natural volumes of your face will continue to evolve. A proactive approach makes it possible to prolong the effect while maintaining a natural appearance.
Yes, alternatives or complementary treatments exist for facial rejuvenation while preserving naturalness. For example, biostimulation, electrostimulation (EMFace) or radio-frequency techniques can improve the elasticity and texture of the skin without any major change in shape. These approaches are of interest to those who want a gradual, less invasive improvement, or as a complement to injections, while maintaining a natural appearance.
Our clinic's philosophy is based on a simple conviction: natural beauty comes from precision, not quantity. Each of our patients benefits from post-treatment follow-up to guarantee stable and harmonious results. Our practitioners favor customized, progressive, and reversible injections, always preceded by a comprehensive medical analysis.
The desired result: a rested, radiant, and harmonious face, without excess. This commitment to subtlety, combined with recognized medical expertise, makes the Clinique de la Croix d'Or a leading name in natural aesthetic medicine in Geneva.
