The ideal of feminine beauty has evolved over time, but certain features are still considered universally feminine.
Facial feminization through aesthetic-oriented medicine techniques has become a popular option for patients who wish to soften their features and achieve a more feminine appearance without resorting to invasive surgery. Thanks to significant advances in the field, various non-surgical methods make it possible to reshape and harmonize facial characteristics to meet different needs.
The flagship technique for facial feminization is hyaluronic acid injections.
Injections are performed with a cannula or a needle using different techniques and injection depths. The type of hyaluronic acid used (firmness, volumizing capacity, cross-linking) will depend on the area to be treated and the patient’s anatomy.
Facial management is carried out globally from the front, in profile (medical profiloplasty technique) and for each element in order to feminize all facial structures.
Botulinum toxin injections are performed to treat dynamic wrinkles of the upper third of the face (frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet) that age the face and give a sad and tired look.
Several techniques are offered for skin enhancement : mesotherapy, PRXT33 peeling, PRP, Skinboosters. Protocols such as Skin Prevent, Skin Restore and Red carpet will be offered according to the needs of each patient.
Facial feminization through aesthetic-oriented medical procedures makes it possible to gently modify certain features in order to make them more harmonious, refined, and delicate, without resorting to surgery. This approach is based on a combination of personalized treatments, adapted to each patient’s morphology and to the desired goals.
At Dr. Romano’s practice in Geneva, hyaluronic acid injections are charged at 600 CHF per syringe for most indications. For more technical indications or specific products, the fee may vary between 650 CHF and 750 CHF per syringe.
Botulinum toxin injections are also used to smooth features and soften facial expression. The fee is 300 CHF for one area, 450 CHF for two areas, and 600 CHF for three areas. In the transgender journey, these fees are slightly higher.
