Hyaluronic acid: how much does an injection cost and what factors influence 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 has an impact on the total cost of the procedure. For example, filling in fine wrinkles around the lips may require less product than an augmentation of the cheekbones or chin. The larger the area to be treated and the more product required, the higher the cost.
• The quality and type of hyaluronic acid used: ihere are different types of hyaluronic acid, each with its own specific properties. Some products are denser and designed to give volume, while others are more fluid and suitable for deep hydration. Brands and product quality also influence price. High-quality hyaluronic acids, with longer-lasting results, are often more expensive.
• The doctor's experience and reputation: The experience and reputation of the doctor play a role in the cost of hyaluronic acid injections. A well-known and experienced doctor will often charge more than a lesser-known or less-experienced practitioner. In Geneva, experienced practitioners with many years of experience and positive patient reviews can charge higher rates because of their expertise and reputation.
• The geographical location of the practice : lhe location of the practice can also affect the cost of injections. In Geneva, for example, the cost of beauty treatments can be higher than elsewhere because of the cost of living and products.
• The techniques used and the degree of personalisation of the treatment : lhe injection technique used and the degree of customisation of the treatment can also influence the cost. Some treatments require more complicated techniques, which can increase the cost of the treatment. Similarly, tailor-made treatments, where the doctor adapts the technique and type of product to the patient's specific needs, can be more expensive.
• The number of syringes needed: the number of syringes needed to obtain the desired results is the major factor in the total cost of the procedure. Depending on the area to be treated and the desired results, a single syringe may be sufficient, but several syringes may be needed for more comprehensive treatments, such as overall facial reshaping.
• Post-treatment care: some practitioners include post-treatment care in the total price, such as follow-up sessions or specific products to optimise the results of the injection. Others may charge for these services separately, which may increase the overall cost. Dr Romano does not charge for follow-up care.
