The Happy Face is a term used in aesthetic medicine to describe a youthful, rested and harmonious face. It is often associated with a naturally lifted appearance, with well-defined cheekbones, a perfect facial contour, and a radiant complexion.
Inspired by beauty icons like Kate Middleton, this look combines elegance and natural beauty. The goal is to recreate a “happy” effect, with a glowing face and relaxed, refreshed features.
The Happy Face is ideal for anyone who wants to :
• Prevent signs of aging.
• Redefine facial contours.
• Revive skin radiance.
• Maintain a natural appearance, without radical transformation.
The key to a successful Happy Face lies in the use of gentle yet effective aesthetic medicine techniques, which restore lost volume, smooth expression lines and firm the skin, all while preserving the face’s natural expressions.
The Happy Face is a holistic approach in aesthetic medicine that aims to recreate a youthful, fresh and radiant face, while maintaining natural and harmonious features. Inspired by the timeless beauty and elegance of Kate Middleton, this concept is based on a combination of aesthetic techniques to
restore volume, lift the face and enhance the skin. By combining treatments such as hyaluronic acid, Botox, Skinboosters, Sculptra, and the PRX-T33 peel, it is possible to achieve a lifted and radiant face without resorting to invasive procedures.
One of the pillars of this procedure is restoring the volume lost over time. As we age, the skin gradually loses collagen and hyaluronic acid, leading to sagging and volume loss in areas like the cheekbones, cheeks and jawline.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the skin, where it plays a key role in tissue hydration and suppleness. With age, its quantity decreases, leading to wrinkles, folds, and volume loss. In aesthetic medicine, hyaluronic acid is injected beneath the skin to fill in volume loss and smooth wrinkles.
For a Happy Face, hyaluronic acid is strategically injected into multiple areas of the face to restore volume and recreate a more youthful, lifted appearance :
• Cheekbones : with age, the cheekbones may lose volume, giving the face a sagging look. Hyaluronic acid injections redefine this area, producing a natural lifting effect.
• Cheeks : restoring volume in the cheeks helps to achieve a fuller, more dynamic face, as seen in youthful facial features.
• Jawline : a well-defined jaw contour is essential for a youthful, harmonious appearance. Hyaluronic acid can be used to sculpt and redefine the jawline, giving a lifted and firmer look.
Hyaluronic acid can also be used in a medical lift technique, which involves targeted injections to achieve a lifting effect without surgery.
This method tightens the skin and reduces sagging in the cheeks and lower face.
Using hyaluronic acid fillers, one can obtain a lifted face and a perfect contour while maintaining a natural, balanced look.
This technique is ideal for those seeking a subtle and elegant result, similar to Kate Middleton’s refined facial appearance.
Beyond volume restoration, a Happy Face also relies on the use of Botox to relax the upper third of the face. Botox Botox, or botulinum toxin, is used to smooth expression lines, particularly on the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), and crow's feet around the eyes.
Botox works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that control muscle contractions. By relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, it smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
One of the advantages of Botox in the Happy Face approach is that it delivers subtle results. The aim is not to freeze facial expressions but to create a relaxed, harmonious look by reducing wrinkles without erasing natural expressions.
As part of the Happy Face, Botox is used to relax wrinkles in the upper part of the face, softening the features while maintaining a natural appearance.
Main treatment areas include :
• Forehead wrinkles : horizontal lines on the forehead can create a tired or worried look. Botox smooths these lines, giving the face a rested appearance.
• Glabellar lines : the vertical lines between the eyebrows, also called frown lines, can create a stern expression. Botox softens them, making the face look more relaxed.
• Crow’s feet : these fine lines around the eyes often appear when smiling. Botox reduces their appearance while preserving natural facial expression.
Skin treatments are an important part of the Happy Face procedure, helping to enhance and revitalize the skin. A radiant complexion, smooth and well-hydrated skin are essential for an overall rejuvenated and harmonious effect. Treatments such as Skinboosters, the PRX-T33 peel and Sculptra are used to improve hydration, radiance and firmness.
Skinboosters treatments consist of micro-injections of hyaluronic acid that do not add volume, but deeply hydrate the skin and improve its texture.
These injections stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity and restoring its glow.
How do Skinboosters work ? Skinboosters are injected into the mid or deep dermis, where they retain water, hydrate the skin, and stimulate collagen production.
What are the results of Skinboosters ? The skin becomes softer, smoother and firmer. fine lines are reduced and the skin regains a natural glow..
Sculptra is another treatment used to restore skin density. Unlike hyaluronic acid, which provides immediate results, Sculptra gradually stimulates collagen production in the tissues, improving skin texture and firmness over time.
How does Sculptra work ? Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible product that, once injected, stimulates collagen production.
What are the results of Sculptra ? Results appear gradually over the weeks and months. Rejuvenation is subtle and natural.
The skin becomes denser, more elastic, and signs of aging are reduced.
PRX-T33 peel improves the skin texture, reduces imperfections and gives an immediate effect — a true instant radiance boost .
What is the PRX-T33 peel ? The PRX-T33 peel is a peel based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide. Unlike traditional peels, there is no visible flaking, which means there is no downtime.
How does the PRX-T33 work ? This peel penetrates the deep layers of the skin without damaging the epidermis, stimulating cell regeneration and collagen production.
What are the results of the PRX-T33 peel? The skin appears immediately more radiant, smoother, and firmer. Imperfections are reduced, and the complexion becomes more even.
A harmonious instant, long-lasting glow. . The PRX-T33 peel is an ideal choice for patients seeking to boost their skin’s radiance while immediately resuming their daily activities. It restores a fresh, luminous appearance to the skin — essential for achieving the Happy Face.
The Happy Face protocol is based on a combination of targeted treatments. Its cost varies depending on the products used, the required quantities, and the areas involved. There is therefore no fixed price, but a range adjusted to the actual needs of each patient.
When the treatment includes a collagen stimulator such as Sculptra, the price is 900 CHF per vial, and one or two vials may be needed. Hyaluronic acid injections are billed at 600 CHF per syringe. This rate may vary if the targeted correction requires a specific product or a higher level of precision.
Certain treatments may also complement the approach, notably Skinboosters, offered at 400 CHF per syringe, or a PRX-T33 peel charged at 200 CHF. These procedures are prescribed on a case-by-case basis, when they contribute to enhancing radiance and skin quality.
Botulinum toxin injections are frequently included in this protocol, particularly when the goal is to release tension in the upper third of the face and soften expressions. The treatment may target a single area, such as the glabella, or extend to two or three zones for a more balanced result. When one area is treated, the cost is 300 CHF for women and 350 CHF for men. For two areas, the price is 450 CHF and 500 CHF respectively. Finally, when the treatment covers all three classic areas — forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet — the price is 600 CHF for women and 650 CHF for men.
These variations reflect the required doses, which are adapted to the muscle strength of each patient. The choice of how many areas to treat is made during the consultation, based on the expressed needs, clinical assessment, and the goal of achieving a natural result.

Aesthetic procedures such as hyaluronic acid injections, thread lifts, or laser treatments are generally not very painful. A numbing cream is often applied before laser sessions to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild tingling. Post-treatment effects are usually minimal, with slight swelling or bruising that fades within a few days.
The number of sessions depends on the technique and individual needs. Typically, one to two sessions are enough for hyaluronic acid injections. For treatments like mesotherapy or chemical peels, several sessions spaced a few weeks apart are often recommended for best results.
Results are immediate with hyaluronic acid injections, although they continue to improve over the following days as the product settles. For treatments such as Skinboosters, collagen stimulators, or lasers, the effects are progressive and develop over several weeks as collagen production and cell renewal are stimulated.
Yes, modern aesthetic medicine techniques are suitable for all skin types—fair, medium, or dark. However, treatments like peels or lasers require prior assessment, especially on darker or sensitive skin, to avoid pigmentation risks. A personalized consultation helps determine the most appropriate approach.
Non-invasive aesthetic medicine techniques offer natural results with quick recovery and minimal risk. They are ideal for correcting mild to moderate signs of aging. In contrast, surgical procedures (such as facelifts) provide more dramatic and long-lasting results but involve anesthesia, longer downtime, and higher risks. Gentle aesthetic medicine is best suited for progressive, natural-looking rejuvenation.
