Key points
Facial harmonisation in Geneva
The Trifecta protocol is an innovative aesthetic treatment designed to restore and harmonise key facial volumes : the chin, cheekbones and lips. Whether correcting the effects of
ageing or balancing the features of younger patients, Trifecta adapts to each patient’s needs, offering subtle yet visible and natural results.
Indications for the Trifecta protocol
Trifecta is indicated for patients of any age who want a rejuvenated appearance or simply wish to restore balance to their features. As this method aims to restore volume and harmonise the face, it is suitable for both men and women and remains one of the most sought-after protocols for natural, lasting enhancement.
Trifecta is primarily intended for patients over forty seeking to restore facial volumes affected by time and achieve rejuvenation without surgery. It is also suitable for young adults wishing to improve facial harmony, rebalance proportions or enhance certain features without excessive transformation. Finally, this protocol meets the expectations of patients who prioritise natural results, as it provides subtle improvement while preserving overall facial balance.
How can facial harmony be improved ?
For mature women, the aim is to counter skin laxity and improve the facial oval, which tends to lose definition over the years.
In younger patients, treatment strengthens facial contour definition and structure to enhance natural features through carefully controlled volumes, accentuating some areas and softening others.
The Trifecta protocol was designed to harmonise and enhance facial contours by targeting three key areas : the chin, lips and cheekbones. This treatment creates natural symmetry and balance, addressing each face’s specific needs.
Chin injections
Chin reshaping aims to :
o Provide greater definition to structure facial contours.
o Correct asymmetries and harmonise the profile.
o Create a lifting effect for a clearer, more defined jawline.
The chin plays a key role in facial harmony and overall balance.
With age, it may lose tone, decrease in volume or progressively recede, affecting facial symmetry and aesthetic harmony. Hyaluronic acid injections can restore chin projection and definition and balance the profile.
In young adults, measured chin redefinition enhances the face and refines contours without making the features heavier or disrupting natural harmony.
Lip injections
Lip treatment helps to :
o Restore volume and natural shape for full yet natural-looking lips.
o Subtly accentuate the border for elegant definition.
o Rebalance upper and lower lip proportions for harmonious symmetry.
The lips are also affected by ageing : they may become thinner and develop fine lines. The Trifecta protocol restores lip fullness and hydration while respecting their natural shape.
In young adults, this protocol creates well-defined, full lips perfectly suited to facial proportions. The result is discreet and harmonious.
Cheekbone injections
Enhancing the cheekbones helps to :
o Create soft facial curves by giving the cheekbones a fuller, natural shape.
o Produce a lifting effect by redefining the midface.
o Improve volume distribution for overall rejuvenation.
The cheekbones are an essential feature of the middle facial third.
Over time, volume loss in this area causes sagging that hollows and ages the face. Filling the cheekbones with hyaluronic acid injections restores facial curves and produces an immediately visible natural lifting effect.
For young adults, this treatment improves cheekbone definition and enhances their curve for a discreet, harmonious effect.
What determines facial harmony ?
The Trifecta protocol is therefore designed to :
• Create a more dynamic, harmonious face.
• Rejuvenate the face with clearer lines and well-defined contours.
• Deliver natural, balanced results and enhance each face’s unique features.
What harmonises the face ?
The Trifecta protocol mainly uses hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the skin and known for its hydrating and plumping properties.
Hyaluronic acid fills hollows or creates shapes, providing immediate volume. It also promotes collagen production, improving skin elasticity and density.
The Trifecta protocol is generally performed in a single session, but maintenance is recommended every 6 to 12 months to preserve results and adjust volumes to individual needs if necessary. Each session is quick, lasting approximately 30 to 45 minutes, and requires no social downtime.
What happens during the session
A Trifecta session begins with a personalised consultation to precisely assess the patient’s expectations and the areas to treat.
After disinfection, hyaluronic acid injections are performed with fine needles, delivering small quantities at strategic points in the chin, cheekbones and lips.
Daily activities can be resumed immediately.
Post-treatment instructions
After a Trifecta session, avoiding intense heat (such as saunas or steam rooms) for 48 hours is advised to prevent skin inflammation. It is also recommended to limit strenuous physical activity and avoid massaging or pressing the injected areas for at least 24 hours.
Side effects
Side effects are generally minimal and temporary.
Mild redness, slight swelling or bruising at injection sites is common. These reactions disappear within a few hours to a few days.
In rare cases, tenderness or discomfort may occur.
Results are immediate but optimal after a few weeks, once mild swelling has subsided.
Results : before/after facial harmonisation
Results in terms of facial rejuvenation and harmonisation become visible fairly quickly.
Within a few days, the face is refreshed, with softer, perfectly balanced features. Before-and-after photographs show a clear improvement in contour harmony, natural chin and cheekbone definition, and full, elegant lips. The face looks younger, facial features and expressions are respected, and results are appreciated for their subtlety and natural appearance.
The benefits of the Trifecta protocol
The benefits of this technique are :
- Natural, subtle results : small quantities of hyaluronic acid are injected at strategic points to respect natural facial harmony without transforming the face.
- A personalised solution : the protocol is tailored to each patient’s needs, whether rejuvenation or improved proportions.
- An immediate, lasting effect : results are visible at the end of the session and last approximately one year.
- A non-invasive procedure : without surgery or general anaesthesia, Trifecta is a gentle, safe protocol for visible, harmonious rejuvenation.
How much does the Trifecta protocol cost ?
The Trifecta protocol follows a treatment plan defined according to each patient’s specific aesthetic needs. Its cost mainly depends on the number of areas treated and the volumes required to achieve harmonious, natural and lasting results.
The protocol includes hyaluronic acid injections. A syringe usually costs 600 CHF, although this amount may vary according to the indication. Some areas, such as the lips, require a more precise technique and particular attention to anatomy : in these cases, a syringe costs 650 CHF.
The overall treatment cost therefore depends on the number of syringes used and the strategy agreed during consultation. This personalised assessment, essential for reliable, safe results, adapts the protocol to the patient’s actual needs.
Patient reviews of the Trifecta protocol
Patients are often surprised by the subtlety and quality of the results.
• “I was looking for a treatment to harmonise my features without a radical transformation. With Trifecta, I regained real definition in my cheekbones and chin while still looking like myself ! ”.
• “I had lost volume with age and wanted a fresher face without surgery. Trifecta restored fullness to my lips and beautiful projection to my chin. I am delighted with the result”.
• “After a Trifecta session, my face is more harmonious and the proportions are better balanced. The result is discreet but makes all the difference”.
In a randomised trial involving sixty adults with cheek volume loss, hyaluronic acid injections using a cannula were compared with needle injections. Both techniques improved volumes, with comparable results at one month. This study concerns cheek-volume restoration, one of the three areas considered in the Trifecta approach, alongside the chin and lips.
In a randomised trial involving 119 adults with a recessed chin, hyaluronic acid injections improved the profile more than in the control group at three months. Patient satisfaction also increased and correction remained visible at twelve months. These results show the value of correcting chin projection when it unbalances facial proportions.
In a controlled trial involving 180 adults with thin lips, a measurable increase in lip volume was observed at eight weeks in 93% of treated patients, compared with 29% in the control group. At six months, most patients still showed aesthetic improvement. These results concern lip treatment. They do not demonstrate the need to systematically treat the lips alongside the chin and cheekbones in the Trifecta approach.
What are the benefits of hyaluronic acid injections for redefining facial contours without surgery ?
Hyaluronic acid injections shape and redefine facial contours without surgery. This technique is non-invasive, with immediate, natural results. Hyaluronic acid restores volume, fills hollows, improves facial harmony and hydrates the skin. Treatment is also reversible, adapts to each patient’s specific needs and has mild after-effects with no social downtime.
Are hyaluronic acid injections in the chin, cheekbones and lips suitable for young adults wishing to improve facial harmony ?
Yes, hyaluronic acid injections are well suited to young adults seeking to enhance certain facial features. They define the chin, raise the cheekbones to create more structure and redefine the lips by adding volume or correcting asymmetries. The aim is to improve facial harmony discreetly and naturally without altering the features.
How can hyaluronic acid injections correct age-related volume loss in the chin, cheekbones and lips ?
With age, the face naturally loses volume, particularly in the cheekbones, chin and lips. Hyaluronic acid injections restore lost volume, bring back fullness and recreate well-defined contours.
