Key Points

Hyacorp, hyaluronic acid for the body, Geneva 

Hyacorp is a hyaluronic acid specifically formulated for body contouring and reshaping. Used to increase the volume of the buttocks, calves, or to correct body imperfections, Hyacorp offers a safe and effective alternative to more

invasive surgical procedures. Thanks to its unique composition, it provides natural and harmonious results, while improving skin elasticity and texture.

Body reshaping with Hyacorp in Geneva

The HYACorp range offers two different formulations of acid : MLF1 and MLF2.
These two gels have the same concentration of 20 mg/ml but differ in the particle size of the hyaluronic acid, allowing the treatment to be tailored to the specific needs of each body area.

  • MLF1 consists of small particles. It was designed to treat and reshape small body areas such as the calves. This product allows for volume correction with finesse and precision, delivering natural and harmonious results.
  • MLF2 has larger particles and strong cross-linking. It is intended for areas requiring a greater volume increase, such as the buttocks.

Which areas can be treated with Hyacorp ?

Hyacorp injections are performed in-office under local anesthesia, making it an alternative to surgery in some indications. This technique is suitable for patients who do not want to undergo surgery or for whom lipofilling is not possible.
The indications are as follows :

  • Buttock augmentation with Hyacorp.
  • Body reshaping with Hyacorp.
  • Calf augmentation.
  • Correction of post-liposuction depressions, if there is no associated fibrosis.
  • Correction of Hip Dips.

Hyacorp for men : is it possible?

It is absolutely possible to use Hyacorp in men. This treatment allows for reshaping and sculpting different areas of the body.
The indications are :

  • Hyacorp to increase the volume of male buttocks. For the pectorals, Dr. Romano rather recommends the use of implants.
  • Hyacorp to redefine the pectorals. For this indication, Dr. Romano recommends the use of implants.
  • Hyacorp to correct certain body asymmetries in a natural and personalized way.

Gluteal enhancement is an increasingly common request among men. This procedure is performed while respecting the aesthetic criteria of male buttocks – the goal is to create masculine buttocks, not feminine ones.

  • Moderate volume : corresponding to a muscular, toned appearance rather than a very rounded one.
  • Forme carrée ou en “V”.
  • Symmetry : this is not perfect symmetry, but the two sides are balanced in size and shape.
  • Firmness : the buttocks should be toned and well sculpted, with no sagging skin.
  • Moderate projection : this contributes to an attractive profile without exaggeration.
  • Buttocks in proportion with the rest of the body.
  • Muscular definition.
  • Clean contours : the contours of the buttocks should be well defined, with a smooth transition from the buttocks to the lower back and thighs, giving an overall well-sculpted appearance.

How is a Hyacorp injection carried out ?

A prior consultation before the procedure is a medical-legal requirement. A detailed quote is provided. The mandatory reflection period is 15 days. One week before the injection, if you are taking anti-inflammatories or anticoagulants, you will need to consult the prescribing doctor to stop them, if possible.
The injection is performed using a cannula, after administering a local anaesthetic.

How long does a Hyacorp session last?

La séance d’injection dure entre deux à trois heures en fonction du nombre de seringues injectées, de la frome souhaitée et de l’anatomie du patient. 

Hyacorp or implants : which is the best choice ?
Hyacorp vs implants : what are the differences ?

The choice between Hyacorp and implants depends on the patient’s aesthetic goals.

Hyacorp is a less invasive solution with a shorter recovery time, ideal for patients seeking moderate volume enhancement and natural-looking results.
Implants allow for more significant volume increases, but the procedure is surgical, thus more invasive and requiring a longer recovery period.
Hyacorp offers a personalised result, whereas with implants, the outcome depends on the shape of the prosthesis — not all shapes can be achieved with an implant.

A consultation with an experienced physician is essential to determine the most suitable option.

Hyacorp : how many syringes for the body ?

The number of syringes of Hyacorp required for a treatment depends on a number of factors, including the area to be treated, the desired volume and the patient's individual characteristics.

For small areas such as the calves or parts of the body requiring subtle adjustments, six syringes may be sufficient. For larger areas such as the buttocks, several syringes may be necessary to achieve the desired volume and reshaping. It is not uncommon for buttock treatments to require between fifteen and thirty syringes, or even more, depending on the aesthetic goals and the patient’s initial volume.

It is essential to consult a qualified practitioner who will be able to assess your specific needs, advise you on the exact amount of product required and draw up a personalised treatment plan.

Instructions after an injection of Hyacorp

hyaluronic acid precautions

After an injection of Hyacorp, it is important to follow certain instructions.  

Pendant sept jours, on préconise d’éviter toute activité sportive, la pression appuyée (même vestimentaire) au niveau de la zone injectée, sauna, hammam, cabine de UV, les chaleurs intenses et, pour  l’augmentation des fesses, d’éviter de trop s’assoir dessus.

Anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-coagulants should be avoided for one week before and one week after the operation, with the agreement of the prescribing doctor.

Le patient doit surveiller la zone injectée : surveiller l’apparition de rougeur, gonflement ou douleur excessive et contacter le médecin en cas d’évolution anormale.

Patients should use gentle skin care products and avoid those containing chemical exfoliants or potentially irritating ingredients for a few days after treatment.

What are the risks of Hyacorp injections?

Les injections de Hyacorp, bien que généralement bien tolérées, peuvent entraîner certains effets secondaires. Les réactions les plus courantes sont : rougeur temporaire, léger gonflement et ecchymoses au site d’injection. Certains patients peuvent également ressentir une sensibilité ou une douleur localisée. Bien que ces réactions soient généralement transitoires et spontanément résolutives, il est important de les surveiller attentivement.

To minimise the risks, it is essential to follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your doctor and to report any unusual symptoms as soon as possible.

In rare cases, more serious complications, such as infections or allergic reactions, may occur, particularly if the injection is not carried out by an experienced doctor or a non-doctor.

Hyacorp breasts

Hyacorp is prohibited in the breasts due to potential health risks. Unlike other areas of the body, the breasts require a very specific approach to ensure the safety and effectiveness of aesthetic treatments.

Injecting hyaluronic acid into the breasts can lead to serious complications, such as infections and granulomas.
There are also interferences with mammograms: early detection of breast cancer becomes more difficult, and the diagnosis of breast cancer may be clearly impeded.
In addition, uneven resorption of the product is particularly visible in the breast area, unlike in the buttocks, and may therefore require relatively frequent injections over time.
For these reasons, the use of Hyacorp in the breasts is strictly prohibited by health authorities.

Hyacorp results : before / after Hyacorp injection

The results of Hyacorp injections are visible immediately after the procedure, but swelling caused by the treatment creates surface irregularities that persist for about ten days.
The final result becomes noticeable three weeks after the session.
Patients can expect a significant improvement in the shape and volume of the treated areas.
The skin appears smoother and firmer, with a natural increase in volume, giving a more sculpted and youthful appearance.

How long do Hyacorp's results last?

Hyacorp hyaluronic acid is highly purified, which allows for long-lasting results, generally between one and two years, depending on the injected area, the product used, the quantity applied, and the individual’s metabolism.
To maintain the result, a maintenance session is recommended every year and a half. During this session, the quantity of acid injected equals 60% of the product used during the first injection.

What is the price of a hyaluronic acid injection for the body (Hyacorp) in Geneva ?

The price of a hyaluronic acid injection for the body using Hyacorp is 300 CHF per syringe in Geneva. This treatment is intended for areas of the body requiring reshaping or volume correction, such as the buttocks, hips, sub-gluteal hollows, or calves. Unlike facial injections, the volumes treated on the body are larger, which often requires the use of multiple syringes per session.
The total cost therefore depends on the number of syringes needed, which varies according to the targeted area, the patient’s anatomy, and the desired aesthetic result. As an indication, a moderate buttock or lateral contour augmentation may require between 15 and 20 syringes.
The preliminary consultation is used to determine the necessary quantity and to provide a personalized quote.
In Geneva, hyaluronic acid injections for the body are performed under strict medical standards. The price per syringe reflects the quality of the product used, the complexity of the procedure, and the level of safety required for this type of treatment.
