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.
L’acide hyaluronique est une substance naturellement présente dans la peau, où il joue un rôle crucial dans l’hydratation et la souplesse des tissus. Avec l’âge, la quantité d’acide hyaluronique diminue, ce qui entraîne la formation de rides, de plis et une perte de volume. En médecine esthétique, l’acide hyaluronique est injecté sous la peau pour combler ces pertes de volume et lisser les rides.
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.
Le Botox agit en bloquant temporairement les signaux nerveux qui contrôlent les contractions musculaires. En détendant les muscles responsables des rides d’expression, il permet de lisser la peau et de réduire l’apparence des rides.
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 consiste en des micro-injections d’acide hyaluronique dont le but n’est pas d’ajouter du volume mais d’hydrater en profondeur la peau et à améliorer sa texture. Ces injections stimulent la production de collagène et d’élastine, ce qui améliore l’élasticité de la peau et lui redonne de l’éclat.
How do Skinboosters work ? Les Skinboosters sont injectés dans le derme moyen ou profond, où ils retiennent l’eau, hydratent la peau et stimulent la production de collagène.
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 est un autre traitement utilisé pour redonner de la densité à la peau. Contrairement à l’acide hyaluronique, qui donne un résultat immédiat, le Sculptra agit en stimulant progressivement la production de collagène dans les tissus, ce qui permet une amélioration progressive de la texture et de la fermeté de la peau.
How does Sculptra work ? Le Sculptra est composé d’acide poly-L-lactique, un produit biocompatible qui, une fois injecté, stimule la production de collagène.
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 .
Qu’est-ce que le peeling PRX-T33 ? Le peeling PRX-T33 est un peeling à base d’acide trichloracétique (TCA) et de peroxyde d’hydrogène. Contrairement aux peelings traditionnels, il n’entraîne pas de desquamation visible, ce qui signifie qu’il n’y a pas de temps d’arrêt.
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.

Les techniques de médecine esthétique, comme les injections d’acide hyaluronique, les fils tenseurs ou les traitements par laser, sont généralement peu douloureuses. Une crème anesthésiante est souvent appliquée avant les séances laser pour minimiser l’inconfort. Les sensations ressenties sont légères, souvent décrites comme de petits picotements. Les suites sont également modérées, avec de légers gonflements ou ecchymoses qui disparaissent en quelques jours.
Le nombre de séances dépend de la technique utilisée et des besoins individuels. En général, une à deux séances suffisent pour les injections d’acide hyaluronique. Pour des traitements comme la mésothérapie ou les peelings, plusieurs séances espacées de quelques semaines peuvent être recommandées pour des résultats optimaux.
Les résultats sont immédiats avec les injections d’acide hyaluronique, bien qu’ils s’améliorent dans les jours qui suivent, une fois le produit bien intégré. Pour les techniques comme les Skinboosters, le inducteurs de collagène ou les lasers, les effets sont progressifs et se développent au fil des semaines, à mesure que la production de collagène et le renouvellement cellulaire sont stimulés.
Oui, les techniques de médecine esthétique modernes sont adaptées à tous les types de peau, qu’elle soit claire, mate ou foncée. Cependant, certaines procédures comme les peelings ou les lasers nécessitent une évaluation préalable pour éviter les risques de pigmentation, en particulier sur les peaux sensibles ou foncées. Un diagnostic personnalisé permet de choisir la technique la plus adaptée.
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.
