The Happy Face is a term used in aesthetic-oriented medicine to describe a youthful, well-rested, and harmonious face. It is often associated with a naturally lifted face, with well-defined cheekbones, a perfect facial oval, and a radiant complexion. Inspired by beauty icons such as Kate Middleton, this look combines elegance and naturalness. The goal is to restore a “happy face” effect, with a luminous complexion and relaxed, refreshed features.
The Happy Face is intended for anyone who wishes to :
• Prevent signs of aging.
• Redefine facial contours.
• Revive the radiance of the skin.
• Maintain a natural appearance, without radical transformation.
The key to a successful Happy Face lies in the use of gentle yet effective aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques, which help restore lost volumes, smooth expression wrinkles, and densify the skin while preserving the natural expression of the face.
The Happy Face is a comprehensive approach in aesthetic-oriented medicine that aims to recreate a youthful, fresh, and radiant face, while preserving natural and harmonious features. Inspired by the elegance and timeless beauty of Kate Middleton, this concept relies on the use of various aesthetic techniques to restore volume, lift
the face, and enhance the skin.
By combining treatments such as hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, Skinboosters, Sculptra, and the PRX-T33 peel, it is possible to achieve a lifted and glowing face without resorting to invasive procedures.
One of the pillars of the procedure is the restoration of volumes lost over time. As aging occurs, the skin progressively loses its collagen and hyaluronic acid content, leading to facial sagging and a reduction of volumes in the cheekbones, cheeks, and the oval of the face.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin, where it plays a crucial role in tissue hydration and suppleness. With age, the amount of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to the formation of wrinkles, folds, and a loss of volume. In aesthetic-oriented medicine, hyaluronic acid is injected under the skin to compensate for these volume losses and smooth wrinkles.
For a Happy Face, hyaluronic acid is strategically injected into several areas of the face to restore volumes and achieve a more youthful and lifted appearance.
• The cheekbones : with age, the cheekbones can lose their natural volume, leading to a progressive sagging of the middle third of the face and affecting its dynamism. Hyaluronic acid injections help restore this support, bring back projection to this area, and lift the face.
• The cheeks : restoring volume in the cheeks helps give the face a fuller and more vibrant appearance, closer to that seen in younger faces, while respecting natural proportions.
• The facial oval : a well-defined mandibular contour plays an essential role in the harmony and youthfulness of the face. Hyaluronic acid helps improve the definition of the oval and restore a clear transition between the face and the neck.
Hyaluronic acid can also be used in the technique of medical lifting, which consists of injecting the product in a targeted way to achieve a lifting effect without surgery. This method helps tighten the skin and reduce sagging in the cheeks and the lower third of the face.
Thanks to hyaluronic acid injections, it is possible to obtain a lifted face and a perfect oval, while maintaining a natural and balanced appearance. This technique is ideal for individuals seeking a subtle and elegant result, inspired by the face of Kate Middleton.
In addition to volume restoration, a Happy Face also relies on the use of botulinum toxin to relax the upper third of the face. Botulinum toxin is a treatment used to soften certain expression lines, those of the forehead, of the glabella (between the eyebrows), and crow’s feet around the eyes.
Botulinum toxin works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that control muscle contractions. By relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, it helps smooth the skin and reduce wrinkles.
One of the advantages of botulinum toxin within the Happy Face protocol is that it delivers subtle results. The objective is not to freeze the features, but to create a relaxed and harmonious face by reducing wrinkles without completely eliminating expressions.
As part of the Happy Face approach, botulinum toxin is used to soften wrinkles of the upper third of the face, allowing the features to be softened while maintaining a natural appearance. The main areas treated are :
• Forehead lines : horizontal lines on the forehead can give a tired or worried look. Botulinum toxin helps smooth these lines and restore a more rested appearance to the face.
• Glabellar lines : vertical lines between the eyebrows, also known as frown lines, can give a severe expression. Botulinum toxin helps reduce them, thereby softening the overall expression.
• Crow’s feet : these small wrinkles around the eyes often appear when smiling. Botulinum toxin helps reduce them.
Skin treatments in the Happy Face procedure are important to enhance and revitalize it. A radiant complexion, smooth and well-hydrated skin are essential for an overall harmonious and rejuvenated effect. Treatments such as Skinboosters, PRX-T33 peeling and Sculptra are used to provide hydration, radiance and firmness.
The treatment with Skinboosters consists of hyaluronic acid injections whose goal is not to add volume but to hydrate the skin and improve its density. These injections stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which improves the skin’s elasticity and restores its radiance.
Skinboosters are injected into the mid or deep dermis, where they retain water, hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen production.
The skin becomes softer, smoother and firmer. Fine lines are smoothed and the skin regains a natural radiance.
Sculptra is another treatment used to restore density to the skin. Unlike hyaluronic acid, which provides an immediate result, Sculptra works by gradually stimulating collagen production in the tissues, allowing a progressive improvement in the quality and firmness of the skin.
Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible product that, once injected, stimulates collagen production.
Results appear gradually over the weeks and months, the rejuvenation is subtle and natural. The skin becomes denser, more elastic and the signs of aging are reduced.
The PRX-T33 peeling improves skin quality, reduces imperfections and provides an instant and long-lasting glow effect, a true instant radiance boost.
What is the PRX-T33 peeling ? The PRX-T33 peeling is a peel based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide. Unlike traditional peels, it does not cause visible peeling, which means there is no downtime.
How does PRX-T33 work ? This peel penetrates the deeper layers of the skin without damaging the epidermis, thereby stimulating cell regeneration and collagen production.
What are the results of the PRX-T33 peeling ? The skin appears immediately more radiant, smoother and firmer. Imperfections are reduced, and the complexion is evened out.
The PRX-T33 peeling is an ideal choice for patients who want to improve their skin’s radiance and immediately resume their activities. It helps restore a fresh and luminous appearance to the skin, essential for the Happy Face.
The Happy Face protocol is based on a combination of treatments. Its cost depends on the products used, the quantities required and the areas to be treated. There is therefore no fixed price, but a range adjusted to the real needs of each patient.
When the treatment includes a collagen inducer such as Sculptra, a price of 900 CHF per vial should be expected, one or two vials will be necessary. Hyaluronic acid injections are billed at 600 CHF per syringe. This price may vary if the desired correction requires a specific product or a higher level of technical expertise.
Certain treatments may also complement the approach, notably Skinboosters, offered at 400 CHF per syringe, or the PRX-T33 peeling billed at 200 CHF. These procedures are recommended on a case-by-case basis, when they are part of a strategy aimed at enhancing radiance and skin quality.
Botulinum toxin injection is frequently included in this protocol, particularly when the objective is to relax tensions in the upper third of the face and soften expressions. The treatment may involve a single area, such as the glabella, or be extended to two or three areas for a more balanced result. When only one area is treated, the price is 300 CHF for women and 350 CHF for men. For two areas, the cost rises respectively to 450 CHF and 500 CHF. Finally, when the treatment concerns all three classic areas – forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet – a price of 600 CHF for women and 650 CHF for men should be expected.
These variations take into account the doses required, which are adapted to the muscular strength of each patient. The choice of the number of areas to be treated is decided during the consultation, and will depend on the expressed needs, the clinical analysis and the desired result.
A precise quote is established at the end of the first consultation, based on a personalized treatment plan.
Aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques, such as hyaluronic acid injections, thread lifts or laser treatments, are generally minimally painful. A numbing cream is often applied before laser sessions for the patient’s comfort. The sensations felt are mild, often described as slight tingling. After-effects are also moderate, with mild swelling or bruising that disappear within a few days.
The number of sessions depends on the technique used and individual needs. In general, one to two sessions are sufficient for hyaluronic acid injections. For treatments such as mesotherapy or peels, several sessions spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.
Les résultats sont immédiats avec les injections d’acide hyaluronique, bien qu’ils s’améliorent dans les jours qui suivent, une fois le produit bien intégré. Pour les techniques comme les Skinboosters, le inducteurs de collagène ou les lasers, les effets sont progressifs et se développent au fil des semaines, à mesure que la production de collagène et le renouvellement cellulaire sont stimulés.
Yes, modern aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques are suitable for all skin types, whether fair, medium or dark. However, certain procedures such as peels or lasers require a prior assessment to avoid pigmentation risks, particularly on sensitive or darker skin. A personalized diagnosis makes it possible to choose the most suitable technique.
Aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques are non-invasive, the results are natural, and recovery is quick. They make it possible to correct mild to moderate signs of aging. In contrast, surgical procedures (such as a facelift) offer more significant and longer-lasting results, but require anesthesia, a longer recovery period, and involve more risks. Gentle aesthetic-oriented medicine is ideal for gradual and natural rejuvenation.
