Gender transition
Medical techniques play a limited role in gender transition. Essential changes are achieved through surgery.
Nevertheless, certain treatments help soften the face :
- Lip injections : full, well-defined lips are a beauty asset.
- Cheekbone injections : as the main feature of the midface, a rounded, concave cheekbone feminises the face.
- Skincare : mesotherapy, PRXT33 peel and Skin prevent or Skin restore protocols are offered according to skin needs.
What makes a face feminine ?
The ideal of feminine beauty evolves over time, although some features are considered universally feminine.
- Perfect, radiant skin : the skin is our first point of contact with others. It should be soft, hydrated, dense and radiant, with fine texture and no imperfections. Unfortunately, over time it becomes dull and lax.
- Beautiful cheekbones : the cheekbone is the face’s most important feature. In women, the cheekbone is high, centred over the malar bone, well-defined and follows a gentle curve from the ear to the nose.
- Attractive lips : the lips are well-defined, sensual and full. The lower lip is fuller than the upper lip and has an arched shape.
- An attractive chin : the feminine chin is more elegant, narrower, shorter and less projected than the masculine chin. Two shapes are considered feminine : rounded and rounded-square chins.
- A feminine forehead : the feminine forehead is convex in profile and forms a gentle curve from the hairline to the brow ridges.
- A harmonious nose : the main characteristic of a feminine nose is harmony with the face. The feminine nose is concave (the masculine nose is convex), and the columella has a double curve. The nasofrontal angle is 120°-125° in women and more open in men. The nasofrontal angle is 95°-110° and more closed in men.
- Open-looking eyes and well-shaped eyebrows.

Medical techniques
Facial feminisation through aesthetic medicine has become popular among patients seeking softer features and a more feminine appearance without invasive surgery. Significant advances in the field allow various non-surgical methods to reshape and harmonise facial characteristics to address different requests.
The leading facial feminisation technique is hyaluronic acid injection.
Injections are performed with a cannula or needle using different techniques and depths. The acid type (firmness, volumising capacity, cross-linking) depends on the treated area and the patient’s anatomy.
The face is treated comprehensively from the front, in profile (non-surgical profile reshaping) and feature by feature to feminise all facial structures.
Botulinum toxin injections treat dynamic lines in the upper facial third (frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet) that age the face and create a sad, tired appearance.
Several techniques enhance the skin : mesotherapy, PRXT33 peel, PRP, Skinboosters. Protocols such as Skin Prevent, Skin Restore and Red carpet are offered according to each patient’s needs.
