Clinic Overview
Nescens Clinic, located on the Genolier medical campus in Switzerland, has been a leader in “better aging” for over 30 years. Its approach combines preventive medicine, regenerative biology, aesthetic medicine, and lifestyle optimisation, guided by Professor Jacques Proust’s research showing that biological aging processes are measurable, modifiable, and respond best to early intervention. The clinic serves a wide range of patients, from executives and athletes seeking comprehensive health assessments to international visitors booking multi-day programmes like the 7-day Cure Reset or 3-day Longevity Collection, which integrate diagnostics, regenerative therapies, and lifestyle recalibration.
The clinic offers specialized aesthetic and regenerative treatments, including stem cell therapies, non-surgical facial procedures, and intimate well-being protocols, all delivered by a multidisciplinary team that assesses patients across multiple medical fields rather than a single specialty. Situated on a luxury campus beside Lake Geneva, Nescens blends rigorous Swiss clinical standards with premium amenities such as private suites, gourmet medical nutrition, concierge services, and optional access to La Réserve Genève’s spa and wellness facilities, creating a holistic, high-end healthcare experience.
Treatments & Services
Nescens organises its clinical offer across several broad categories. Below is the full scope; detailed breakdowns for featured treatments appear in the following section.
Regenerative Medicine:
The Elixir Stem Cell Journey uses autologous adipose tissue as the source for regenerative concentrates. Fat is collected, refined in a GMP-certified laboratory, and reinjected. This is the clinic's most technically intensive programme.
Preventive & Diagnostic Medicine:
Comprehensive medical check-ups range from half-day to two-day assessments. They incorporate blood biomarker panels (hormonal, metabolic, and organ function), diagnostic imaging (CT scans of chest, abdomen, and pelvis), cardiovascular testing (VO2 max), and physical resilience measurement (grip strength).
Holistic Longevity Programmes:
The 7-day Cure Reset and shorter Collection formats combine diagnostics, personalised nutrition, fitness guidance, and targeted therapies into structured stays.
Aesthetic Medicine (Non-surgical):
Botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, DermaV vascular laser, Endolift skin tightening, Plasma IQ eye lifting, and Infrared Zaffiro skin firming. Also NLift structural harmonisation (2-session protocol).
Cognitive Health:
QEEG Brain Mapping followed by Neurofeedback Brainwave Training aimed at improving focus, memory, emotional balance, and mental clarity.
Biohacking Therapies:
Cryotherapy, Hyperbaric Chamber Oxygen Therapy, Photobiomodulation (light therapy), BioCharger energy stimulation, contrast baths, and sensory deprivation.
Intimate Well-Being (NRose):
A multi-layered protocol for women using radiofrequency, laser, and regenerative extracts to address vaginal dryness, laxity, or mild urinary incontinence.
Body Contouring:
Endosphere (mechanical compression and vibrational micro-massage) and Redustim (electrical stimulation combined with massage) for cellulite reduction and body sculpting.
IV Vitamin Therapy:
Intravenous infusion of customised vitamins, minerals, and nutrients.

The Patient Pathway
- Initial Enquiry: Contact the clinic by phone or online to express interest in a specific programme or treatment category. The concierge and clinical coordination team will guide you toward the appropriate entry point a single diagnostic session, a specific therapeutic treatment, or a multi-day residential programme.
- Consultation: A private session with the relevant members of the multidisciplinary team. This covers medical history, current medications, lifestyle factors (diet, physical activity, sleep, stress levels), and your specific goals. For complex programmes such as the Elixir Stem Cell Journey or the 7-Day Cure Reset, this assessment forms the basis of your individualised plan.
- Pre-Treatment Preparation: Preparation requirements vary by procedure. Fat tissue collection for stem cell programmes requires specific pre-procedure instructions. Surgical procedures such as hair transplantation require standard pre-operative assessment. Details are confirmed by the medical team following your consultation.
- Procedure or Programme: Minimally invasive procedures are performed under local anaesthesia or light sedation where required. Non-surgical and wellness sessions take place in the clinic's treatment facilities. Residential programmes are hosted at the on-site Junior Suites.
- Same-Day Experience: For most aesthetic and wellness treatments, patients return to normal activities on the same day. For the Elixir stem cell programme, the mechanical concentrate reinjection takes place on the day of collection; additional concentrates are available within approximately 10 days.
- Recovery & Follow-Up: Specific post-treatment guidelines are provided by the medical team. Personalised medical follow-up is a standard component of executive and athlete check-up programmes. Maintenance sessions typically once or twice per year are recommended for sustained benefits across most treatment categories.
Suitability
Nescens programmes are most clinically appropriate for adults in generally good health who want to optimise their longevity trajectory, address specific aesthetic or functional concerns, or undergo a thorough preventive health assessment. The clinic is particularly well-suited to individuals who have already made lifestyle changes and want clinical support to build on them, executives or athletes who require evidence-based health benchmarking, and international patients who can commit to a multi-day residential stay.
Individuals with active serious illness, uncontrolled chronic conditions, or contraindications to specific therapies (cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen, regenerative injectables) may not be suitable for certain treatments. Suitability for each procedure including candidacy for stem cell collection, neurofeedback, or surgical hair transplant is determined at the pre-treatment medical assessment.
The Nescens team assesses each patient individually. You should not assume eligibility for any specific treatment before a clinical assessment has taken place.
Results & Clinical Outcomes
Nescens publishes limited but specific clinical outcome data for some of its products and associated research:
- Skin Energy Serum: Biophysical testing in 25 volunteers showed a +19% increase in skin elasticity at 8 weeks. This is product-level evidence and does not represent clinical treatment outcomes.
- Positive Self-Perception of Aging (SPA) and Mortality: A 20-year longitudinal community-based cohort study of 22,957 older adults (≥ 65 years) found a meaningful relationship between positive self-perception of aging and all-cause mortality. Individuals in the highest SPA quartile had a mortality rate of 80.7% versus 91.7% for those in the lowest quartile. High social participation mediated 29.7–36.6% of this association; physical activity accounted for 6.0–7.5%; regular vegetable intake for 3.9–5.2%. Individuals with positive SPA also demonstrated lower levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of systemic inflammation. Source: BMC Public Health (2024), DOI: 10.1186/s12889-024-18895-y.
Success rates, patient satisfaction percentages, and complication rates for clinical treatments are not available in current publicly published data. Individual results vary and depend on factors assessed at personal consultation.
Recovery & Aftercare
For the majority of non-surgical and wellness treatments at Nescens, downtime is minimal to none and patients return to normal activities the same day. Aesthetic treatments (botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid, laser) follow standard post-procedural guidance provided by the treating clinician.
The NRose intimate well-being protocol requires temporary abstention from sexual activity and intense sport for several days following treatment. The Elixir Stem Cell Journey involves a period of recovery following fat tissue collection under local anaesthesia or sedation; specific timelines are discussed at consultation.
For surgical procedures including hair transplantation, post-operative care instructions and a follow-up schedule are provided by the surgeon. Maintenance sessions typically one to two per year are recommended for sustained outcomes across regenerative and biohacking therapies. Remote aftercare availability is not confirmed in current data and should be discussed during consultation.
Safety, Risks & Side Effects
Nescens positions its clinical offer around minimally invasive and non-invasive procedures. This reduces acute procedural risk but does not eliminate it. Relevant safety considerations by category:
- Regenerative medicine (Elixir Stem Cell): Fat tissue collection is minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthesia or sedation. As with any procedure involving tissue extraction and reinjection, risks include infection, haematoma, and individual variation in biological response. These are managed within the clinic's integrated framework with Clinique de Genolier.
- Aesthetic injectables: Standard risks for botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid apply — including bruising, swelling, asymmetry, and rare vascular complications. These are assessed individually and disclosed at consultation.
- Biohacking therapies: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has specific contraindications, including certain respiratory and ear conditions. Cryotherapy is not appropriate for individuals with certain cardiovascular or circulatory conditions. Eligibility is determined at baseline diagnostics.
- NRose intimate well-being: Temporary activity restrictions apply. Long-term safety data for the specific multi-modal combination used is not provided in published clinic material.
- Hair transplant: Surgical procedure carrying standard risks including infection, scarring, graft failure, and variation in final density. Specific risks are discussed during the surgical consultation.
- General safety infrastructure: The partnership with Clinique de Genolier provides hospital-grade complication management. The GMP-certified biotech laboratory meets Swiss regulatory standards for regenerative concentrate processing. Stem cell cryopreservation is clinically traceable.
Contraindications for individual treatments are not published in the clinic's general materials and are assessed at the pre-treatment clinical consultation. This is standard practice for personalised medical programmes.

Why Patients Choose Nescens Clinic
Clinical depth of the team. The medical team at Nescens includes recognised specialists in regenerative medicine, plastic and reconstructive surgery, geriatrics and gerontology, longevity medicine, and the biology of aging. Professor Jacques Proust is a pioneer in aging biology research. Dr. Elisabeth Roider holds recognition as one of Europe's longevity medicine leaders. Three plastic surgeons on the team are FMH-certified specialists with former university clinic and department leadership roles. This is not a single-discipline aesthetic clinic.
Institutional infrastructure. Few private longevity clinics operate with direct integration into a partner hospital (Clinique de Genolier), affiliation to the Mayo Clinic Care Network, and a GMP-certified biotech laboratory on-site for regenerative work. This infrastructure matters clinically: it enables the kind of stem cell processing, complication management, and diagnostic imaging capacity that an outpatient aesthetic clinic cannot offer.
Programme coherence. The multi-day residential formats are designed to deliver diagnostics, treatment, nutrition, and lifestyle support as an integrated clinical experience — not a collection of standalone sessions. For international patients, this means meaningful clinical work can be completed within a single stay rather than across multiple visits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Nescens Clinic suitable for a first-time patient?
The clinic accepts patients at all stages from those attending for a single diagnostic check-up to those booking their first aesthetic treatment. The initial consultation is designed to assess your goals and health status before any treatment is recommended; no prior experience of longevity or regenerative medicine is required.
Are the procedures at Nescens Clinic painful?
Most treatments at Nescens are non-invasive or minimally invasive. Where physical discomfort is anticipated particularly for fat tissue collection in the Elixir Stem Cell Journey procedures are performed under local anaesthesia or light sedation. Aesthetic injectable treatments involve standard procedural discomfort, and individual pain tolerance is discussed at consultation.
What is the recovery period after treatment?
Recovery varies by procedure. The majority of non-surgical and wellness treatments involve no downtime, with patients returning to normal activities the same day. The NRose intimate well-being protocol requires temporary abstention from intense sport and sexual activity for several days. Recovery timelines for the Elixir Stem Cell Journey and surgical hair transplantation are confirmed at individual consultation.
How long do results from Nescens treatments last?
Results are not permanent for any treatment category and typically require maintenance. For most therapies, the clinic recommends one to two maintenance sessions per year to sustain benefits. Specific duration of results varies between individuals and is influenced by factors assessed at your personal consultation.
Is the 7-Day Cure Reset programme medically supervised?
Yes. The programme includes a comprehensive medical assessment at the outset, personalised nutrition and fitness programming, and ongoing medical support throughout the week-long stay. It is not a spa retreat; it is a clinically guided residential health programme.
How do I arrange a consultation at Nescens Clinic?
Contact the clinic directly through its official website or by telephone. The coordination team will advise on the most appropriate programme or treatment entry point based on your goals, and will schedule your initial assessment.
Arrange a Consultation
Choosing a longevity or regenerative medicine programme is a clinical decision that requires individual assessment before any treatment plan is confirmed. A consultation at Nescens Clinic allows the multidisciplinary team to review your health history, understand your goals, and advise on whether — and which programmes are appropriate for you.
