Injections are medical procedures primarily intended to treat ageing signs without aesthetic surgery.
They also address various aesthetic and rejuvenation needs, improving skin appearance, restoring lost volume, reducing wrinkles, plumping dehydrated skin and more.
Consulting an experienced doctor is essential to identify the treatment best suited to your aesthetic goals.
This ensures visible, natural results, a personalised treatment plan and safe procedures.
Aesthetic injections may cause temporary side effects such as redness, swelling or bruising.
Respecting contraindications and following the doctor's recommendations are essential to minimise risks.

Injections now play a central role in modern aesthetic medicine. These medical techniques prevent, reduce or correct certain visible skin ageing signs while respecting tissue physiology and facial harmony. In Geneva, they follow demanding standards based on precise technique, in-depth anatomical knowledge and considered use of products whose effectiveness and safety are scientifically validated. The aim is to preserve facial coherence, vitality and individuality rather than transform a face. Injections precisely target expression lines, volume loss, skin quality or the structure of the face, with gradual, natural and measured results. Each procedure adapts to the patient's age, expectations, facial dynamics and skin biology. The challenge is to combine medical rigour and aesthetic judgement for a visible but subtle result that others notice without identifying it as an aesthetic procedure.
What are aesthetic injections ?
Skinbooster
Skinbooster is hyaluronic acid specially formulated to deeply hydrate the skin and improve its quality. Skinboosters are ideal for :
- Hydrating the skin : providing deep, lasting hydration.
- Improving skin quality : the skin becomes smoother and more radiant.
- Reducing fine lines : Skinboosters soften ageing signs. Effects are visible after a few sessions and last several months.
- Improving signs of skin ageing.
- Providing skin firmness.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy involves painless injections of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other revitalising substances directly into the dermis. It is used to :
- Hydrate and revitalise the skin : improving skin quality and radiance.
- Reduce water-related cellulite : helping drain water stored in tissues (water retention).
- Treat hair loss : stimulating hair follicles. Mesotherapy sessions provide gradual results with a cumulative effect.
Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy involves injecting carbon dioxide (CO2) beneath the skin to improve blood circulation and stimulate collagen production. It is effective for :
- Reducing dark circles : improving dark circles beneath the eyes.
- Reducing stretch marks : softening the appearance of stretch marks.
- Treating cellulite : reducing its appearance. Results become visible after a few sessions.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, uses the patient's blood to promote cell regeneration. It is often used for :
- Skin rejuvenation : improving skin density and firmness.
- Treating hair loss : stimulating hair regrowth and improving hair quality.
- Wound healing : accelerating damaged tissue repair. Results develop gradually, with a noticeable improvement after several sessions.
Botulinum toxin
Botulinum toxin treats certain expression lines by relaxing the muscles responsible. It is commonly used for :
- Forehead lines.
- Glabellar lines.
- Crow's feet.
- Excessive underarm sweating (primary axillary hyperhidrosis).
Sculptra
Sculptra is an injectable poly-L-lactic acid product that stimulates collagen production. It is used to :
- Restore facial volume : filling facial hollows.
- Improve skin elasticity : making the skin firmer and more elastic. Results develop gradually over several months and can last up to two years.
Hyacorp
Hyacorp is hyaluronic acid used for body contouring and restoring body volume. It is ideal for :
- Body contouring : Hyacorp reshapes and adds volume to the buttocks, calves and hips.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the skin and contributes to hydration and firmness. Hyaluronic acid injections are used to :
- Plump the lips : adding lip volume and definition.
- Correct wrinkles and fine lines : filling static wrinkles such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines and vertical lines around the mouth.
- Restore volume : lifting the cheekbones, filling dark circles and defining the jawline. All facial volumes can be treated. Results are immediate and may last between 6 and 12 months, depending on the treated area.
- Treat skin laxity.
- Redefine facial contours.
Comprehensive, personalised care
Aesthetic medicine injections require a comprehensive approach based on attentive listening and precise observation. The initial consultation is essential to understand expectations, define priorities and anticipate natural facial changes over the years. The analysis considers tissue quality, dermal density, volume distribution, facial muscles, movement and each individual's anatomical features. This overall assessment supports coherent, gradual and appropriate treatment, avoiding standardised or artificial results. Personalisation involves product and technique selection as well as the injected quantity, exact injection depth, session frequency and follow-up strategy. The aim is to support skin ageing respectfully, without excessive correction or changing features. Well-performed treatment should preserve facial identity while enhancing its lines, structure and natural balance.
Indications for aesthetic injections
Aesthetic injections correct different skin ageing signs and improve certain facial characteristics without surgery. Indications are established during consultation after assessing overall anatomy, skin quality, muscle dynamics and expectations. The aim is personalised treatment suited to individual needs while preserving balanced, natural features.
Aesthetic injections may be indicated to :
- Reduce expression lines on the forehead, glabella and crow's feet using botulinum toxin.
- Correct static facial wrinkles and folds, particularly nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
- Restore lost volume in the cheekbones, temples, chin or jaw.
- Redefine facial contours to improve profile and jawline harmony.
- Increase or rebalance lip volume while maintaining a natural result.
- Improve skin quality and hydration using hyaluronic acid injections suited to this purpose.
- Address early skin ageing signs to preserve long-term facial balance.
- Prevent the appearance or worsening of certain ageing signs in patients with early expression lines.
- Correct certain facial asymmetries when appropriately indicated.
What happens during aesthetic injections in Geneva
Aesthetic injection treatment follows a precise protocol from medical assessment through follow-up. Each step ensures treatment suits the patient's anatomy, expectations and medical indications.
Before the session
The consultation is essential. It assesses the whole face, skin quality, volumes, muscle dynamics and ageing signs. Medical history, current treatments and possible contraindications are also reviewed to ensure safe care.
A personalised treatment plan is established after the clinical examination. Dr Romano explains the treatable areas, products, expected results and limitations, and potential side effects. Medical photographs support follow-up.
During the session
After thorough skin disinfection, injections are performed with very fine needles or microcannulas according to the treated area and selected technique. The choice between hyaluronic acid and botulinum toxin depends on the indication and goals established during consultation.
A session generally lasts between 15 and 45 minutes. Injections are performed precisely to respect facial anatomy and achieve a natural result. Most patients describe moderate, generally well-tolerated discomfort. Some products contain local anaesthetic to improve comfort during treatment.
After the session
Daily activities can usually resume immediately. Mild redness, slight swelling or small bruises may appear at injection sites. These reactions are common, temporary and resolve spontaneously within a few days.
Recommendations are provided after the session to optimise recovery. Depending on the indication, avoiding intense physical exertion, significant heat exposure, massage of the treated area or certain activities may be advised during the first hours.
A follow-up appointment may be offered when necessary to assess results and make any adjustments while respecting the goals established during consultation.
Safety and side effects
Safety is fundamental to every aesthetic medicine injection. Certified products, appropriate injection devices, strict aseptic protocols and complete anatomical knowledge are essential to minimise risks and reassure patients. The doctor's experience is also central, particularly in assessing high-risk areas, managing anatomical variations and adapting techniques to skin type or muscle mobility. Safe injection requires precise knowledge of vascular and nerve structures, tissue planes, deep volumes and attachment areas. Each procedure is anticipated, considered and controlled. Immediate after-effects are generally straightforward, limited to mild redness or slight swelling, reflecting the noninvasive nature of these procedures.
An in-depth understanding of facial ageing
Facial ageing results from several processes occurring together. The skin gradually becomes more fragile as collagen and elastin decline, blood vessels change and environmental stressors take their toll. Facial volumes change : deep fat descends and diminishes, and the bone structure often resorbs. Certain muscles also become more active, producing expression lines that may remain visible at rest (static wrinkles).
Injections act at different levels of this process. Their aim is to reduce the most marked signs rather than oppose ageing artificially. Better understanding these biological mechanisms helps provide coherent care that supports the face's natural evolution.
