Hyaluronic acid : how much does an injection cost and what factors affect the price ?

Several factors influence the cost of a hyaluronic acid injection.

• The area of the face to be treated : different areas of the face require different amounts of hyaluronic acid, which affects the total price of the procedure. For example, filling lip wrinkles may require less product than augmenting the cheekbones or the chin. The larger the area to be treated and the more product needed, the higher the cost will be.
• The quality and type of hyaluronic acid used : there are different types of hyaluronic acid, each with specific properties. Some products are denser and designed to provide volume, while others are more fluid and suitable for deep hydration. The brands and quality of the product also influence the price. High-quality hyaluronic acids, which offer longer-lasting results, are often more expensive.
• The experience and reputation of the doctor : the experience and reputation of the doctor play a role in the cost of hyaluronic acid injections. A renowned and experienced doctor will often charge more than a less known or less experienced practitioner. In Geneva, experienced practitioners with many years of experience and positive patient reviews may charge higher fees due to their expertise and reputation.
• The techniques used and the level of customization of the treatment : the injection technique used and the level of personalization of the treatment can also influence the cost. Some treatments require more complex techniques, which can increase the cost of the procedure. Likewise, tailor-made treatments, where the doctor adapts the technique and the type of product to the patient’s specific needs, can be more expensive. The injection of dark circles or medical rhinoplasty will be more costly.
• The number of syringes needed : the number of syringes required to achieve the desired results is the major factor in the total price of the procedure. Depending on the area to be treated and the desired outcome, one syringe may be enough, but several syringes may be necessary for more comprehensive treatments, such as full-face reshaping.
• Aftercare treatments : some practitioners include post-treatment care in the total price, such as follow-up sessions or specific products to optimize the results of the injection. Others may charge these services separately, which can increase the overall cost. Dr Romano does not charge for follow-up.
