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.
  • Square or V-shaped.
  • 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?

The injection session lasts between two and three hours, depending on the number of syringes injected, the desired chew and the patient's anatomy. 

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.  

For seven days, we recommend avoiding any sporting activity, pressure (even from clothing) on the injected area, saunas, steam rooms, UV booths, intense heat and, for buttock augmentation, avoiding sitting on them too much.

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.

The patient must monitor the injected area: watch for the appearance of redness, swelling or excessive pain and contact the doctor if anything abnormal develops.

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?

Although Hyacorp injections are generally well tolerated, some side effects may occur. The most common reactions are temporary redness, slight swelling and bruising at the injection site. Some patients may also experience localised pain or tenderness. Although these reactions are generally transient and self-limiting, it is important to monitor them carefully.

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.

Hyacorp for the body review

HYACorp is widely recognized in the field of aesthetic medicine for its effectiveness and safety. Patient reviews are mostly positive, highlighting the natural and harmonious results, the minimal downtime, and the speed of the procedure. Hyacorp is appreciated for its ability to restore body volume and reshape various areas of the body.
Patients report a visible improvement in body contour, skin hydration, and elasticity.

Health professionals point to its unique formulation and biocompatibility as a guarantee of safety. However, as with any treatment, results may vary depending on the patient and the area treated. It is important to have these injections carried out by a qualified and experienced doctor, to ensure a risk-free procedure and optimal aesthetic results.

How does Hyacorp work?

Hyacorp is a hyaluronic acid with high volumising power, enabling it to reshape body contours while improving skin texture and firmness.

Hyacorp MLF 1 is used to correct and reshape small areas of the body such as the calves, hands and sometimes other areas requiring minor corrections.

Hyacorp MLF 2 is specifically designed for areas requiring greater volume, such as the buttocks and calves. Its volumising and sculpting results are linked to the large particles of hyaluronic acid that make up this gel.

After an injection of Hyacorp, it is advisable to avoid strenuous physical activity, excessive exposure to the sun and heat for at least a week. It is also advisable not to massage the treated areas to allow the product to settle properly.

Hyacorp is safe if administered by an experienced doctor. The hyaluronic acid used is highly purified and biocompatible, which is a guarantee of safety.

Yes, most patients can resume their normal activities, including work, immediately after an injection of Hyacorp.
Nevertheless, you should follow the post-treatment precautions given by your doctor.

Yes, Hyacorp can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as Botox injections, chemical peels and laser treatments. 

Hyacorp is an effective method for reshaping the buttocks and is a non-surgical alternative to implants. It helps to increase volume, sculpt and firm the buttocks in a natural way. Results are immediate.

Les injections de HYAcorp, utilisées pour le comblement corporel (comme les fesses ou les hanches), sont généralement peu douloureuses. Le produit contient souvent un anesthésiant local, et une anesthési est réalisée avant la séance. Une légère sensation de pression ou d’inconfort peut être ressentie pendant l’injection.

Il est recommandé d’éviter de s’asseoir directement sur la zone injectée pendant 24 à 48 heures pour permettre une bonne répartition du produit et éviter toute pression excessive. Utiliser un coussin adapté ou adopter des positions allongées peut aider à protéger la zone traitée.
