WHAT ARE THE PRICES FOR HAND REJUVENATION IN GENEVA ?

Hand rejuvenation in Geneva

Hand rejuvenation has become a highly requested aesthetic medical procedure, particularly among patients who wish to harmonize the youthful appearance of the face with hands visibly marked by time. In Geneva, this growing demand is accompanied by an increased need for transparency : how much does hand rejuvenation in a medical practice really cost ? Which factors influence the price ? Are there significant differences depending on the techniques used ?
This page aims to answer, in a clear, objective and detailed way, the question every patient asks before booking an appointment : what is the price of hand rejuvenation in aesthetic medicine in Geneva ?
The cost of hand rejuvenation varies according to the techniques used, the amount of injected products, and the personalized treatment plan proposed by the physician. In Geneva, fees also reflect the quality of the medical devices employed (certified injectable products, state-of-the-art lasers), as well as the physician’s expertise.
As an indication, the observed prices are as follows :

  • Hyaluronic acid injections : starting from 600 CHF per syringe, depending on the quantity used.
  • Ablative laser : between 250 and 400 CHF per session, depending on the extent of pigmentation.
  • Peels : starting from 250 CHF, depending on the type of peel and protocol.
  • Mesotherapy : between 200 and 300 CHF per session, often offered in a course of 3 to 5 sessions.

What does the price of hand rejuvenation depend on ?

Contrary to popular belief, there is no standard price for hand rejuvenation. The cost depends on several variables that the physician assesses during the initial consultation.

  • The choice of technique used : hand rejuvenation can rely on different, often complementary approaches. Each of these techniques has a specific cost : hyaluronic acid injections to restore volume, pigment or ablative lasers to treat sun spots, depigmenting peels to improve skin tone and quality, mesotherapy to hydrate and revitalize the skin. The price therefore varies depending on the technique or techniques chosen. A comprehensive treatment, combining several approaches, will naturally be more expensive than a single procedure.
  • The amount of product or the number of sessions required : in the case of injections, the price will directly depend on the number of syringes used, generally between 1 and 3 per hand. For laser or peel treatments, the number of sessions required also affects the overall cost.
  • The type of product or technology used : not all medical devices are equal. Some injectable products are more expensive but offer longer-lasting results. Likewise, physicians using state-of-the-art lasers or high-concentration medical peels will provide more effective treatments, but at a higher cost.
  • The physician’s expertise : in Geneva, the fee for an aesthetic medical procedure also reflects the physician’s experience and reputation. An experienced doctor, specifically trained in the latest rejuvenation techniques, may charge higher-than-average fees — which is justified if it ensures safety, precision, and results.

Average price of hand rejuvenation techniques in Geneva

It is important to note that prices vary from one patient to another, depending on the needs, the complexity of the treatment and the selected products. However, the average ranges observed in Geneva in 2025 are as follows :

Price of hyaluronic acid injections for the hands 

  • Price per session : approximately 600 CHF per syringe.
  • This price generally includes one syringe, the doctor's fees, sterile equipment and post-injection follow-up. If two syringes are needed, the price can exceed 1000 CHF.

Price of pigment laser for the hands 

  • Price per session : between 250 CHF and 400 CHF.
  • One to three sessions are often necessary for a satisfactory result. Some clinics offer sliding-scale packages.

Price of chemical peels for the hands 

  • Price per session : from 200 CHF to 300 CHF.
  • The number of sessions depends on the degree of pigmentation and skin thickness. Peels are often combined with other treatments.

Price of hand mesotherapy 

  • Price per session : between 200 CHF and 280 CHF.
  • In general, a protocol of 3 to 5 sessions is recommended.

Why do these prices vary so much from one clinic to another ?

Several factors explain the price differences observed between clinics, even for the same technique :

  • Type of injected product : the use of a very high-quality hyaluronic acid (latest generation CE/FDA-approved product) will be more expensive, but also more durable and safer.
  • Doctor’s qualifications : a doctor who performs exclusively aesthetic procedures and has recognized experience may charge higher fees than a junior doctor.
  • Quality of technical equipment : modern medical devices (lasers, cooling systems, complementary light therapy, etc.) have a high cost, which affects the final price but contributes to patient safety and comfort.
  • Degree of treatment customization : a standardized protocol will cost less, but it will be less precise. A tailor-made treatment, perfectly adapted to the patient’s morphology and skin age, requires more time and expertise.

Is it possible to get an exact quote before the treatment ?

Any serious care begins with a prior medical consultation, during which the doctor conducts a thorough clinical examination of the hands and discusses the patient’s aesthetic expectations. It is on this occasion that a personalized quote is prepared.
This quote will specify the type of treatment proposed, the number of recommended sessions, the total cost, the payment terms, or any available packages.
The quote is always provided in writing and does not commit the patient as long as no procedure is scheduled.

Hand rejuvenation : is this procedure reimbursed ?

Hand rejuvenation, like all non-therapeutic aesthetic medical procedures, is not covered by health insurance, whether public or private. It is an exclusively aesthetic procedure, performed on a voluntary basis.
The patient therefore bears the full cost.

Why do we talk about the price of hand rejuvenation ?

Over the past few years, the demand for hand rejuvenation has seen a significant increase in aesthetic medicine clinics, particularly in French-speaking Switzerland. Long considered secondary, this area is now treated with the same care as the face, neck, or décolleté. However, unlike other more widely publicized aesthetic procedures, the cost of hand rejuvenation remains unclear for a large majority of patients.
This pricing uncertainty is explained by several factors: the variety of available techniques, the customization of protocols, the absence of a standardized nomenclature, as well as the usual discretion of the sector regarding prices in high-end aesthetic medicine.
In this context, patients are right to ask questions. What budget should be planned ? Why do some treatments cost twice as much as others ? How can one ensure that the proposed price is justified by the quality of care ?
Addressing the question of price transparently is therefore essential. This not only allows for a calm anticipation of the investment, but also enables informed choices, with full knowledge of the real value of the treatments offered.

Why do some clinics offer very low prices ?

On certain websites or social media, it is not uncommon to see prices significantly below the local average for hand rejuvenation procedures. This price disparity rightly raises questions for patients. Why is a treatment offered at 650 CHF in one clinic and at 350 CHF elsewhere for a supposedly identical procedure ?
Several factors can explain this difference. Not all are problematic, but some raise real concerns regarding quality or safety.

  • Lower-quality or alternative injectable products : hyaluronic acids are not all equivalent. Some manufacturers, little known or not approved by European or Swiss health authorities, offer low-cost injectables. These products may be less stable, less durable, or less well tolerated. Their use can certainly reduce prices, but it comes with an increased risk of imperfections, migration, or limited duration.
  • Standardized techniques, without morphological adaptation : in a volume-driven approach, some aesthetic centers favor a quick, identical method for all patients, with little time devoted to customization. This allows them to offer attractive prices, but at the expense of a natural and high-quality result.
  • Insufficient follow-up and lack of medical quality : a lower price may also mean limited follow-up and no control consultation. The environment in which the procedure is performed (licensed medical office vs non-medicalized center) can also influence costs.
  • Deliberately opaque communication : finally, some very attractive prices include only part of the treatment (for example, one syringe, without an initial consultation). The final cost can thus be much higher than advertised, leading to misunderstanding, or even a loss of patient trust.


A low price is therefore not always a good indicator of value. In aesthetic medicine, safety, durability of results, and quality of execution justify a proportionate investment. It is better to choose a doctor for their expertise and ethics rather than for an attractive but unrealistic price promise.

Should one prioritize price or quality ?

Hand rejuvenation, like any aesthetic procedure, represents an investment. But beyond the immediate cost, it is the perceived and real value of the procedure that should guide the patient’s choice.
Price alone does not guarantee competence or results. A high fee does not automatically prove the quality of a treatment, but an abnormally low price should, conversely, raise concerns. In the medical field, there is no “economic miracle”: a certified hyaluronic acid syringe has a set cost; a laser session requires a high-end device, maintained and operated by a trained doctor.
What the patient pays for are results — not a syringe. What the patient compensates is not just an injection or a “laser session.” It is expertise: that of a doctor capable of correctly assessing anatomy, choosing the right product, dosing accurately, acting with finesse, predicting the outcome, monitoring the patient, and intervening if correction is needed.
The difference between subtly rejuvenated hands and altered hands lies precisely in this competence.
Invest in a result, not a gesture. In aesthetic medicine, a poorly performed procedure often costs more to correct than if it had been done correctly the first time. Poorly injected hands, laser-burned pigmentation, or an artificial result are mistakes that can leave lasting consequences, both aesthetic and psychological.
Thus, rather than seeking the lowest price, it is better to aim for a balanced quality/price ratio, based on the doctor’s expertise, product quality, protocol customization, and durability of effects.
