Key points
Happy Face in Geneva
Happy Face is a comprehensive approach in aesthetic medicine aimed at recreating a youthful, fresh and radiant face while maintaining natural, harmonious features. Inspired by Kate Middleton’s elegance and timeless beauty, this concept combines different aesthetic techniques to restore volume, lift
the face and enhance the skin.
Combining treatments such as hyaluronic acid, botulinum toxin, Skinboosters, Sculptra and the PRX-T33 peel can restore a lifted, radiant face without invasive procedures.
Hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume
A cornerstone of the procedure is restoring volume lost over time. As we age, the skin progressively loses collagen and hyaluronic acid, causing facial sagging and reduced volume in the cheekbones, cheeks and facial contours.
How does hyaluronic acid work ?
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the skin, where it plays a crucial role in tissue hydration and suppleness. Its quantity decreases with age, leading to wrinkles, folds and volume loss. In aesthetic medicine, hyaluronic acid is injected beneath the skin to replenish lost volume and smooth wrinkles.
Restoring facial volume with hyaluronic acid
For Happy Face, hyaluronic acid is strategically injected into several facial areas to restore volume and achieve a younger, lifted appearance.
• The cheekbones : with age, cheekbones may lose their natural volume, causing progressive midface sagging and reducing facial vitality. Hyaluronic acid injections restore this support, add definition and lift the face.
• The cheeks : restoring cheek volume gives the face a fuller, more vibrant appearance similar to that of younger faces while respecting natural proportions.
• The facial oval : a well-defined jaw contour plays an essential role in facial harmony and youthfulness. Hyaluronic acid improves contour definition and restores a clear transition between the face and neck.
Non-surgical lifting with hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid can also be used in non-surgical lifting, which involves targeted injections to achieve a lifting effect without surgery. This method tightens the skin and reduces laxity in the cheeks and lower facial third.
Hyaluronic acid injections can achieve a lifted face and ideal facial contours while maintaining a natural, balanced appearance. This technique is ideal for people seeking a subtle, elegant result, like Kate Middleton’s face.
Botulinum toxin to relax the upper third of the face
In addition to restoring volume, Happy Face also uses botulinum toxin to relax the upper facial third. Botulinum toxin softens certain expression lines on the forehead, in the glabella (between the eyebrows) and crow’s feet around the eyes.
How does botulinum toxin work ?
Botulinum toxin temporarily blocks the nerve signals controlling muscle contractions. By relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines, it smooths the skin and reduces wrinkles.
Subtle, natural results with botulinum toxin
One benefit of botulinum toxin in the Happy Face protocol is its subtle results. The aim is to create a relaxed, harmonious face rather than frozen features, reducing wrinkles without completely eliminating expression.
Botulinum toxin for a rested face
In Happy Face, botulinum toxin softens lines in the upper facial third, relaxing the features while preserving a natural appearance. The main areas treated are :
• Forehead lines : horizontal forehead lines can create a tired or worried look. Botulinum toxin smooths these lines and restores a rested appearance.
• Glabellar lines : vertical lines between the eyebrows, also called frown lines, can create a stern look. Botulinum toxin reduces them, softening the expression.
• Crow’s feet : these small lines around the eyes often appear when smiling. Botulinum toxin reduces them.
Dense, plumped skin for a youthful face
Skincare treatments in the Happy Face procedure are important for enhancing and revitalising the skin. A radiant complexion and smooth, well-hydrated skin are essential for an overall harmonious, rejuvenated effect. Treatments such as Skinboosters, PRX-T33 peel and Sculptra provide hydration, radiance and firmness.
Skinboosters to hydrate the skin
Skinbooster treatment involves hyaluronic acid injections intended to hydrate the skin and improve its density rather than add volume. These injections stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity and restoring radiance.
How do Skinboosters work ?
Skinboosters are injected into the middle or deep dermis, where they retain water, hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen production.
What results do Skinboosters provide ?
The skin becomes softer, smoother and firmer. Fine lines are smoothed and natural luminosity returns.
Sculptra for progressively denser skin
Sculptra is another treatment used to restore skin density. Unlike hyaluronic acid, which produces immediate results, Sculptra progressively stimulates collagen production in the tissues, gradually improving skin quality and firmness.
How does Sculptra work ?
Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, a biocompatible product that stimulates collagen production once injected.
What results does Sculptra provide ?
Results develop gradually over weeks and months, producing subtle, natural rejuvenation. The skin becomes denser and more elastic, and signs of ageing diminish.
The PRX-T33 peel for a glowing effect
The PRX-T33 peel improves skin quality, reduces imperfections and provides an immediate, lasting glow, a true instant radiance boost.
What is the PRX-T33 peel ? The PRX-T33 peel contains trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and hydrogen peroxide. Unlike traditional peels, it causes no visible peeling, meaning no downtime.
How does PRX-T33 work ? This peel penetrates the deeper skin layers without damaging the epidermis, stimulating cell regeneration and collagen production.
What results does the PRX-T33 peel provide ? The skin immediately looks more radiant, smoother and firmer. Imperfections diminish and the complexion becomes more even.
The PRX-T33 peel is ideal for patients seeking to improve skin radiance and immediately resume their activities. It restores the fresh, luminous appearance essential to Happy Face.
How much does the Happy Face protocol cost ?
The Happy Face protocol combines several treatments. Its cost depends on the products used, the quantities required and the areas treated. There is therefore no fixed price, but a range adjusted to each patient’s actual needs.
When treatment includes a collagen stimulator such as Sculptra, the price is 900 CHF per vial, with one or two vials required. Hyaluronic acid injections cost 600 CHF per syringe. This price may vary if the desired correction requires a particular product or greater technical expertise.
Additional treatments may complement the approach, including Skinboosters at 400 CHF per syringe or the PRX-T33 peel at 200 CHF. These procedures are recommended individually when appropriate for improving skin radiance and quality.
Botulinum toxin injections are frequently included, particularly when the aim is to release tension in the upper facial third and soften expressions. Treatment may target a single area, such as the glabella, or extend to two or three areas for a more balanced result. For one area, the price is 300 CHF for women and 350 CHF for men. For two areas, prices are respectively 450 CHF and 500 CHF. Finally, treating all three standard areas – forehead, frown lines and crow’s feet – costs 600 CHF for women and 650 CHF for men.
These variations reflect the doses needed, adapted to each patient’s muscle strength. The number of areas is decided during consultation according to expressed needs, clinical assessment and the desired result.

Are aesthetic medical techniques for redefining facial contours painful ?
Aesthetic medical techniques such as hyaluronic acid injections, thread lifts and laser treatments generally cause little pain. An anaesthetic cream is often applied before laser sessions for patient comfort. Sensations are mild, often described as slight tingling. After-effects are also moderate, with slight swelling or bruising disappearing within a few days.
How many sessions are generally needed for optimal results with facial rejuvenation treatments ?
The number of sessions depends on the technique and individual needs. Generally, one to two sessions are sufficient for hyaluronic acid injections. Treatments such as mesotherapy or peels may require several sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
Are the results of aesthetic treatments for a younger, rested face immediate or progressive ?
Results from hyaluronic acid injections are immediate, although they improve over the following days as the product integrates. With techniques such as Skinboosters, collagen stimulators and lasers, effects develop gradually over weeks as collagen production and cell renewal are stimulated.
Are aesthetic procedures for a younger, rested face suitable for all skin types ?
Yes, modern aesthetic medical techniques are suitable for all skin types, whether fair, olive or dark. However, some procedures such as peels and lasers require a preliminary assessment to avoid pigmentation risks, particularly in sensitive or dark skin. A personalised assessment identifies the most suitable technique.
What is the difference between gentle aesthetic medical techniques and surgery for facial rejuvenation ?
Aesthetic medical techniques are non-invasive, with natural results and rapid recovery. They correct mild to moderate signs of ageing. Surgical procedures (such as a facelift) offer more substantial, longer-lasting results but require anaesthesia and longer recovery and carry greater risks. Gentle aesthetic medicine is ideal for gradual, natural rejuvenation.
