NON-SURGICAL LIFTING : SOFT
FACELIFT

Dernière mise à jour : 26 June 2026

What is Soft Lift ?

Soft Lifting, also called non-surgical lifting, is an innovative aesthetic medicine approach restoring facial youthfulness and firmness without surgery. Modern, non-invasive techniques effectively treat laxity, wrinkles and premature ageing through quick, safe and manageable procedures. Medical lifting gives natural, progressive results for a younger, more rested face without the prolonged recovery typical of surgery.

Soft lift : treatments

The Soft lift protocol includes several methods adapted to each patient’s needs, skin type, treatment areas and desired results.

PRX-T33 for medical lifting

PRX-T33 is an innovative treatment without side effects, combining chemical peeling and biostimulation without flaking. Its distinctive trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide formulation acts only deeply, leaving the surface layer intact.
Within Soft lift, PRX-T33 stimulates collagen to improve firmness and elasticity. It deeply lifts and plumps skin, treating moderate laxity and firming areas such as cheeks, jawline and neck.
PRX-T33 tightens skin rather than deep tissues (muscle, fat).
Results are immediate and optimal after several sessions.
One session monthly for three months, then every six months, is recommended for maintenance.

Dr Di Maio’s 8 Point Face Lift

The 8 Point Face Lift, developed by Dr Mauricio de Maio, injects hyaluronic acid into eight strategic facial points to restore lost volume and rejuvenate. Often called a “liquid facelift”, it creates overall lifting without surgery.
Each precise point is adapted to individual anatomy.
Each plays a key role in tissue support and natural contour improvement.
Results are immediate, lasting and subtle, rejuvenating and sculpting the face without signs of sagging.

Skinboosters for Soft Lift

Skinboosters improve hydration, firmness and radiance.
This very fine-particle hyaluronic acid acts deeply without adding volume, strengthening quality for smoother, firmer, better-toned skin. In Soft Lift, it targets fragile, frequently moving areas such as cheeks, jawline or neck. Improved density and structure contribute to natural, lasting lifting and a genuine radiance boost.
The result is natural : plumper, visibly younger and lifted skin.

Botulinum toxin

Botulinum toxin is a key aesthetic medicine treatment for certain expression lines, particularly forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines.
It can also create a more open-looking gaze and fresher, rested appearance. It is indicated for temporarily improving moderate to severe vertical lines between the eyebrows during maximal frowning and lateral lines during maximal smiling, particularly when aesthetically distressing. Eyebrow lifting is not a direct indication, but treating frown lines and crow’s feet may naturally raise the eyebrow. Results remain harmonious and expressions preserved when an experienced doctor performs injections.

Price of non-surgical lifting : Soft Lift

Soft lifting costs in Geneva depend on techniques and the individual protocol.
Hyaluronic acid costs 600 CHF per syringe, with quantity depending on laxity, anatomy and desired result.
 Botulinum toxin, frequently included, starts at 300 CHF for one area in women (450 CHF for two, 600 CHF for three) and 350 CHF in men (500 CHF for two, 650 CHF for three).
Skinboosters improving skin quality and density cost 400 CHF per syringe, usually with two syringes sufficient.
PRX-T33, often complementary for radiance and dermal synthesis, costs 200 CHF per session.
Final cost depends on the combined treatments, with a detailed quotation at consultation.

WHAT THE STUDIES SAY
01

A publication on injection planning proposes linking volume assessment to perceived expressions, such as a tired or sad appearance. This method helps identify priority areas and discuss the patient’s goals. It provides a clinical framework for measured overall correction, rather than systematically multiplying injection points.

02

In 25 patients, one cheek treated with stabilised hyaluronic acid was compared with the other, untreated cheek. Hydration improved significantly between the second and twelfth week after the session, alongside improved elasticity. These data concern a skin-quality component that may be included in a Soft Lift, rather than the entire protocol.

03

A study involving sixteen women assessed three sessions of non-ablative fractional 1,570 nm laser, one month apart, to improve facial and neck laxity. Three months after the final session, two independent evaluators found visible improvement in every treated area. These results suggest the value of this laser for firming the skin, with the settings and treatment intervals studied.

How does Soft Lifting work ?

Soft Lifting combines hyaluronic acid to restore volume and botulinum toxin to smooth certain expression lines. This non-surgical rejuvenation restores firmness, radiance and natural appearance.

What are the aims of Soft Lift ?

Soft Lift restores harmony by replacing lost volume, reshaping contours and smoothing wrinkles. The aim is subtle overall rejuvenation respecting natural facial anatomy.

What results can be expected after Soft Lift ?

The face looks fresher and younger, with rested features and restored volume. Soft Lift also improves skin quality, reshapes the jawline and smooths expression lines. Results are natural and immediate, improving in subsequent days.

What is the difference between Soft Lift and a surgical facelift ?

Soft Lift non-invasively uses injections to correct ageing, while surgery under anaesthesia repositions sagging tissues. Soft Lift gives natural results with little or no downtime, while surgery lasts longer but requires longer recovery.

Is Soft Lift painful ?

Soft Lift causes little pain. Anaesthetic cream may be applied but is unnecessary. Most patients feel only slight tingling. After-effects are generally mild, with possible swelling or bruising resolving within days.
