Aesthetic medicine in Switzerland

Aesthetic medicine: what to know

Aesthetic medicine covers non-surgical medical procedures intended to improve the appearance of the skin, face or body. The doctor assesses your request, explains the possible techniques, their limitations and side effects, and then carries out suitable injections, peels or laser treatments.

When to book an appointment

• Softening wrinkles or fine lines on the face
• Treating pigmentation marks or acne scars
• Discussing hyaluronic acid or botulinum toxin injections
• Considering laser hair removal or skin rejuvenation

Costs in Switzerland

In Switzerland, purely cosmetic aesthetic medicine treatments are generally not reimbursed by basic health insurance (LAMal/KVG) or by most supplementary insurance policies.
