In 2024, the world of aesthetic medicine continues to evolve, offering new approaches to combat the signs of ageing. In Switzerland, a country renowned for its excellence in health and well-being, preventive treatments have become essential for those who wish to maintain a youthful, dynamic appearance. This article explores the most effective treatments for preventing ageing, while highlighting the importance of a preventative approach to maintaining healthy, radiant skin.


The importance of preventing ageing


Ageing is a natural process, but its effects can be mitigated with a proactive approach. By incorporating preventative treatments into your skincare routine, you can not only delay the onset of the signs of ageing, but also improve the overall quality of your skin. This is particularly important in a country like Switzerland, where the climate can affect the skin, particularly through exposure to the sun and varying weather conditions.


Preventive treatments are not limited to facial skin. They also involve other aspects of the body, including the hair, neck and even the hands, which are often the first areas to show signs of ageing. By taking a holistic approach and treating the whole body, you can not only look younger, but also feel more confident and healthier.


Aesthetic trends in 2024


Aesthetic trends in 2024 focus on non-invasive treatments and cutting-edge techniques to prevent ageing. The growing demand for solutions that offer natural results without the need for surgery is a clear indicator of this trend. In Switzerland, patients prefer treatments that are not only effective, but also safe and comfortable.


1. Ultherapy: a facelift without surgery

Ultherapy continues to be a popular choice for those seeking a facelift without surgery. This treatment uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the production of collagen under the skin. Collagen is an essential protein that maintains the skin's firmness and elasticity. As we age, collagen production declines, leading to sagging skin and the appearance of wrinkles.

In Switzerland, where people are keen to maintain a youthful appearance without surgery, Ultherapy is particularly popular. This treatment is often used to lift and firm areas of the face, neck and décolleté. Results are progressive, with visible improvement within a few months, allowing patients to maintain a natural appearance without interruption to their daily lives.

2. Hyaluronic acid injections: hydration and volume

Hyaluronic acid is a molecule naturally present in the skin, known for its ability to retain water and keep the skin hydrated and plump. However, as we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin decreases, which can lead to a loss of volume and the appearance of wrinkles.

Hyaluronic acid injections have become the treatment of choice for restoring lost volume and smoothing wrinkles. They can be used to treat various areas of the face, including the lips, cheekbones, nasolabial folds and even around the eyes. In Switzerland, these injections are often carried out in renowned aesthetic clinics such as ALTA Aesthetics, where the emphasis is on natural, harmonious results.


One of the advantages of hyaluronic acid injections is that they offer immediate results. After treatment, the skin appears more hydrated, wrinkles are smoothed out and the face looks younger and more radiant. What's more, this treatment is minimally invasive and requires no recovery time, making it ideal for those with active lifestyles.

3. Profhilo: remodelling the skin

Profhilo is a relatively new treatment that has rapidly gained in popularity. Unlike other hyaluronic acid injections, Profhilo acts not only as a wrinkle filler, but also as a genuine skin remodeller. It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, improving the skin's texture and firmness.

The Profhilo treatment is often recommended for those looking to improve the elasticity of their skin without altering their natural features. It is particularly effective on the face, neck and even the arms. By stimulating cell regeneration, Profhilo helps to keep skin firm, smooth and radiant, while preventing the appearance of new wrinkles.


In Switzerland, Profhilo is appreciated for its subtle yet effective results. Patients who choose this treatment notice an overall improvement in the quality of their skin, with a reduction in fine wrinkles and improved hydration. As it is a non-invasive treatment, there is no recovery time, making it a practical option for those wishing to incorporate a preventative treatment into their skincare routine.

4. Microneedling: natural collagen stimulation

Microneedling is a proven technique for stimulating the skin's natural production of collagen. This treatment involves using fine needles to create tiny perforations in the skin, triggering a healing process that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.


Microneedling is particularly effective in improving skin texture, reducing the appearance of acne scars and minimising dilated pores. In Switzerland, where demand for non-invasive treatments continues to grow, microneedling is often used in combination with serums enriched with vitamins and antioxidants to maximise results.


One of the benefits of microneedling is that it can be tailored to different skin types and aesthetic concerns. Whether you're looking to smooth wrinkles, improve skin texture, or reduce the appearance of scars, microneedling offers a versatile and effective solution. What's more, this treatment is relatively quick and doesn't require significant recovery time, making it an attractive option for those with active lifestyles.

5. M22 laser: treatment of blemishes and imperfections

The M22 laser is an advanced technology used to treat a variety of skin problems, including pigmentation spots, redness and scars. This treatment uses pulses of light to target and destroy pigmented cells, leaving the skin more even and luminous.


The M22 laser is renowned for its effectiveness and safety. It is often used to treat age spots, sun spots and the redness associated with rosacea. What's more, this treatment can be tailored to each patient's individual needs, guaranteeing optimal results.


The M22 laser is also effective in stimulating collagen production, which helps to improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. In Switzerland, where quality of care is a priority, this treatment is often carried out in renowned aesthetic clinics, where the emphasis is on natural, long-lasting results.

6. CoolSculpting: reducing localised fat

Although CoolSculpting is best known for its action on localised fat, it also plays a role in firming the skin. This non-invasive technique uses cold to destroy the fat cells under the skin, while firming the surrounding tissue.


CoolSculpting is particularly effective for treating areas of the body where fat is difficult to eliminate through exercise or diet, such as the abdomen, thighs and arms. This treatment is often used in conjunction with other anti-ageing treatments to provide a more youthful, toned body contour.


One of the advantages of CoolSculpting is that it is non-invasive and requires no recovery time. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. What's more, the results are progressive, with a visible reduction in fat over time.

7. PRP Exokine: skin regeneration

The Exokine PRP treatment, also known as the ‘facial vampire’, uses your own platelet-rich plasma to stimulate cell regeneration. This treatment is particularly effective in improving skin texture, reducing fine wrinkles and promoting a brighter complexion.


Exokine PRP is often used in combination with other aesthetic treatments to maximise results. With an emphasis on natural, non-invasive treatments, it is becoming increasingly popular among those looking to improve the quality of their skin without the use of chemicals or surgery.

The Exokine PRP treatment is relatively quick and minimally invasive, with results visible within a few weeks. What's more, because it uses the patient's own platelets, there is minimal risk of allergic reactions or side effects. It's an ideal option for those looking to improve their skin naturally and effectively.

8. Chemical peels: deep exfoliation

Chemical peels are treatments that use acids to deeply exfoliate the skin, removing dead cells and stimulating cell renewal. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels are particularly effective in reducing wrinkles, brown spots and scars.


Chemical peels are often carried out in specialist aesthetic clinics, offering visible results after just one session. These treatments are ideal for those looking to improve the texture of their skin and reduce the visible signs of ageing.


Chemical peels can be tailored to each patient's individual needs, ensuring optimal results while minimising the risk of complications. What's more, these treatments are relatively quick and do not require significant recovery time, making them an attractive option for those looking to effectively improve their skin.
