Treatments & Services

LaCLINIQUE of Switzerland's services span five broad clinical categories. The following is an overview of each; detailed structured blocks for core treatments follow in the next section.

Surgical Body & Face Procedures

Abdominoplasty, mastopexy (breast lift), blepharoplasty, mentoplasty (chin surgery), facelift and cervical lift, arm and thigh lift, gluteoplasty, and gynecomastia treatment. These are performed under local, sedation, or general anaesthesia depending on complexity, with recovery ranging from 48 hours to several weeks.

Body Contouring & Fat Management

Lipo HD (Vaser liposuction), microliposuction, BodyTite, lipofilling using Bioscience Institute protocols, and cryolipolysis. Candidates are patients with localised fat deposits and adequate skin tone; these are not proposed as alternatives to weight management through diet.

Regenerative & Stem Cell Treatments

Biofiller (combining hyaluronic acid and adipose-derived stem cells), Rigenera cellular micrografts for hair regrowth, Profhilo biorevitalisation, and Swiss Cellular Matrix protocols. These aim to harness the body's own biological mechanisms alongside biocompatible materials.

Non-Surgical Aesthetic Medicine

Botox (botulinum toxin), hyaluronic acid fillers, Thermage FLX radiofrequency, HIFU, PLASMAGE® plasma technology, IPL/DPL, Picolaser, and Fractional CO2 laser. Most are performed as outpatient sessions with minimal downtime.

Urology & Andrology

vasectomy, varicocele microsurgery, urinary incontinence treatment, phimosis management, benign prostatic hyperplasia assessment, and penis enlargement using filler, lipofilling, or the permanent PeniFlex™ method. This specialist division draws an international patient base.

Intimate & Gynaecological Medicine

labiaplasty, G-spot amplification, urinary incontinence treatment, and laser vaginal rejuvenation in collaboration with the Los Angeles institute.

Genetic & Diagnostic Testing

HelixGYN (breast/ovary), HelixCOLON (intestinal), HelixMOKER (lung), and HelixPAN (prevention of solid tumours), alongside testicular ultrasound with Doppler for varicocele diagnosis.

Core Treatments in Detail

Abdominoplasty

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Standard tummy tuck — removal of excess abdominal skin and fat with muscle repair where indicated
• Treatment Time: 2–3 hours
• Best Suited For: Healthy individuals with excess abdominal skin and fat not reducible through diet and exercise; commonly sought following significant weight loss or pregnancy
• Recovery: 24–48 hours hospitalisation; sutures removed at 7–12 days; compression garments worn for up to one month
• Results Duration: Long-lasting with weight stability; final result typically visible at approximately 6 months
• Key Notes: General anaesthesia is required. This is a major surgical procedure; candidacy and recovery timeline are assessed individually at consultation.

Biofiller by LaCLINIQUE

• Category: Regenerative
• Technique: Combined injection of pure hyaluronic acid and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs)
• Treatment Time: 30–90 minutes
• Best Suited For: Patients seeking volumisation with concurrent tissue rejuvenation, rather than filler alone
• Key Notes: This protocol combines the volumising effect of a conventional filler with the regenerative properties attributed to ADSCs. It is distinct from standard hyaluronic acid filler treatment.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

• Category: Surgical or Non-Surgical
• Technique: Traditional incision (surgical) or PLASMAGE® plasma sublimation (non-surgical)
• Treatment Time: 30–90 minutes (surgical); 45–60 minutes (PLASMAGE®)
• Best Suited For: Patients with excess upper or lower eyelid skin, puffiness, or early ptosis affecting appearance or visual field
• Recovery: Surgical: sutures removed at 2–4 days; Non-surgical: faster return to normal activity
• Key Notes: The non-surgical PLASMAGE® option avoids incisions; the treating specialist will assess which approach is clinically appropriate based on the degree of tissue change present.

Swiss Mommy Makeover

• Category: Combined — Surgical & Regenerative
• Technique: A proprietary protocol combining lipofilling (Bioscience Institute protocol), abdominal remodelling, HIFU, cryolipolysis, and ADSC-based breast restoration
• Treatment Time: Variable; depends on combination selected
• Best Suited For: Post-partum patients who have completed breastfeeding and wish to address changes to breast volume, abdominal skin, and body contour following pregnancy
• Recovery: Compound recovery period; individual timelines confirmed at consultation
• Results Duration: Long-lasting for surgical components; maintenance may be required for non-surgical elements
• Key Notes: This is a clinic-proprietary protocol. An all-inclusive package is available. The combination and sequence of treatments are determined at individual assessment.

Lipo HD (Vaser Liposuction)

• Category: Minimally Invasive / Body Contouring
• Technique: Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance (Vaser) — cold ultrasound disrupts fat cell membranes before aspiration through 2–4 mm cannulas; heat and vibration also aim to stimulate collagen and elastin production
• Treatment Time: 30–90 minutes
• Best Suited For: Patients with good skin tone and localised fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise; not appropriate as a general weight-loss alternative
• Recovery: Return to daily routine: 7–10 days; moderate physical activity: 2 weeks; intense exercise: from 1 month
• Results Duration: Long-lasting with maintained body weight
• Key Notes: Local anaesthesia is standard. Patients report minimal pain during the procedure; the ultrasound mechanism is designed to act on fat cells without affecting surrounding nerves and vessels.

Botox (Botulinum Toxin)

• Category: Non-Surgical / Aesthetic Medicine
• Technique: Microinjections of botulinum toxin to targeted facial muscles, interrupting neuromuscular transmission
• Treatment Time: 30–90 minutes
• Best Suited For: Individuals with dynamic expression lines — glabellar (frown lines), forehead, or crow's feet — and patients with hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
• Recovery: 3–15 days for the full effect to settle; no significant downtime
• Results Duration: Clinical studies indicate effects typically persist 4–6 months in men and 3–5 months in women 
• Key Notes: Contraindicated in pregnancy, albumin allergy, autoimmune disease, or active infection. The clinic's approach is described as gradual, aiming to maintain natural facial expressiveness. Starting price: 450 CHF.

Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Round-block, vertical, or inverted-T incision technique; optional Elasticum® suspension threads
• Treatment Time: 75–150 minutes
• Best Suited For: Patients with breast ptosis (sagging) due to weight loss, pregnancy, or ageing; not combined with implant placement unless separately indicated
• Recovery: 10–15 days; specific supportive bra required for 1 month before return to sport
• Results Duration: Long-lasting; final appearance settles at approximately 6 months
• Key Notes: The technique selection — incision pattern and optional thread suspension — is determined by the degree of ptosis assessed at consultation. Sutures removed at 7–14 days. Starting price: 8,500 CHF.

Gynecomastia Treatment

• Category: Surgical
• Technique: Liposuction (pseudo-gynecomastia) or surgical excision of the mammary gland (true gynecomastia)
• Treatment Time: 30–40 minutes
• Best Suited For: Males presenting with increased breast volume, associated pain, or nipple discharge; underlying hormonal causes should be assessed prior to surgery
• Recovery: Normal activity: 2 days; light sport: 14 days; competitive sport: 30 days
• Results Duration: Long-lasting following glandular excision
• Key Notes: A periareolar incision is used for glandular removal; compressive bandaging is applied post-procedure to limit oedema. Starting price: 6,500 CHF.

Male Varicocele Microsurgery

• Category: Surgical (Outpatient)
• Technique: Microsurgical ligation under high-magnification optical microscope; selective ligation of dilated venous branches while preserving the artery and lymphatics

The Patient Pathway

Initial Enquiry Contact is made through the clinic's booking channel or direct enquiry. A personal consultant is assigned to the patient at this stage and remains their named point of contact throughout the entire process.

• First Consultation A specialist medical visit is conducted to assess the presenting concern, confirm the pathology or aesthetic goal, and determine whether the proposed treatment is clinically feasible for the individual patient. This is not a sales meeting; candidacy is evaluated by the treating specialist.
• Pre-Treatment Preparation The preparation requirements vary by procedure. Surgical cases will require pre-operative assessments; specific pre-treatment instructions are issued by the medical team following the consultation. Where imaging or diagnostic testing — such as Doppler ultrasound for varicocele is indicated, this is arranged at this stage.
• Day of Procedure Most treatments at LaCLINIQUE are structured as day surgery or outpatient sessions, allowing same-day discharge. For major surgical procedures requiring hospitalisation, the standard stay is 24–48 hours. Post-procedure clinical monitoring takes place in a dedicated recovery area before discharge is confirmed by the medical team.
• Recovery at Home Written aftercare instructions and prescriptions for necessary medications — analgesics and antibiotics where indicated — are provided at discharge. Compression garments are issued for relevant procedures and worn for 10 days to one month, depending on the intervention.
• Follow-Up The personal consultant remains available after discharge. Clinical follow-up appointments are scheduled according to the procedure. Patients with complex or surgical cases are reviewed by the specialist team at defined intervals. For international patients, the consultant supports remote coordination.

Suitability

LaCLINIQUE of Switzerland assesses individual suitability for every procedure at a personal specialist consultation. No procedure is offered without this assessment.

• Strong candidates tend to be adults in good general health with a clearly defined and realistic aesthetic or medical goal. For body-contouring procedures, stable body weight and adequate skin tone are important candidacy factors. For surgical lifts and reconstructive work, overall health status, healing capacity, and absence of contraindicated conditions are assessed. Post-pregnancy patients considering the Swiss Mommy Makeover are assessed following the completion of breastfeeding.
• Patients who may need to wait include those who have recently completed a significant weight change and not yet reached a stable weight, patients currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and — for mentoplasty specifically patients under 18 whose bone growth is not yet complete.
• Patients who are likely unsuitable for specific procedures include: individuals with active infections at the treatment site; those with autoimmune conditions or albumin allergies (Botox-specific); patients with uncontrolled systemic conditions that would affect healing; and those seeking body-contouring surgery as a primary weight-loss strategy rather than a targeted intervention following weight stability.

All candidacy is confirmed or excluded at the specialist assessment. The first consultation is the correct step for any patient unsure of their suitability.

Results & Clinical Outcomes

• Results vary between individuals and depend on multiple factors assessed at a personal consultation. The following summarises what clinical data the clinic's protocols report.
• Lipo HD and body contouring results are typically visible progressively, with final outcomes assessed at approximately 6 months post-procedure. For lipofilling procedures, an initial fat reabsorption rate of approximately 30% in the first months is anticipated; the Bioscience Institute protocol is used with the aim of maximising long-term fat cell survival.
• For Profhilo, maximum skin lifting and tissue strengthening is typically observed at 8 weeks after the first session, following the standard 2–3 session protocol. Botox results generally persist for 4–6 months in men and 3–5 months in women, per the clinical data referenced by the clinic.
• For the artificial urinary sphincter, the clinic references a patient satisfaction rate of approximately 98%; the TOT mesh procedure for stress incontinence is associated with a clinical cure rate exceeding 85% Varicocele microsurgery patients commonly show documented improvement in semen analysis values from 3 months post-operatively.
• B-Lite breast implants, where selected, are documented as over 30% lighter than conventional cohesive gel silicone implants.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery timelines vary by procedure category and individual healing response.

Minor non-surgical treatments Botox, Profhilo, and filler injections carry no significant downtime; temporary localised redness or swelling resolves within hours to days. Minimally invasive procedures such as Lipo HD typically allow return to daily routine within 7–10 days, with full activity from one month. Surgical procedures abdominoplasty, mastopexy, facelifts involve 24–48 hours hospitalisation where required, a period of bed rest, and a recovery arc that reaches its endpoint at approximately 6 months when final results are assessed.

Compression garments are prescribed for most body-contouring and surgical procedures and are worn for 10 days to one month. Post-operative medication, analgesics and antibiotics where clinically indicated is prescribed at discharge. Suture removal occurs at 2–14 days depending on the procedure.

The personal consultant is available throughout the recovery period. International patients are supported with remote coordination for follow-up where in-person return is not immediately possible.

Safety, Risks & Side Effects

• All medical procedures carry risk. The following applies across the LaCLINIQUE treatment range; specific risks vary by procedure and are discussed fully at the specialist consultation.
• Common side effects across outpatient and minimally invasive treatments include temporary localised redness, swelling, bruising, and small haematomas. These are expected responses and typically resolve without intervention within days to two weeks.
• Surgical risks include infection, delayed healing, asymmetry, scarring, persistent pain, and anaesthesia-related effects. These are uncommon but are assessed as part of the pre-operative evaluation. The risk profile is managed through surgical technique selection, anaesthesia management, and post-operative monitoring.
• Contraindications are procedure-specific. Key examples: Botox is contraindicated in pregnancy, albumin allergy, autoimmune disease, and active infection. Body-contouring surgery is not appropriate for patients who have not reached weight stability. Mentoplasty is not recommended before bone growth is complete. All contraindications are assessed individually.
• Safety protocols at LaCLINIQUE include specialist medical oversight, regulated Swiss health protocols, and a post-procedure recovery area for clinical monitoring before patient discharge. The clinic's philosophy is documented as prioritising natural results at a gradual pace for example, in injectable treatments rather than maximising volume in a single session.

Pricing & Consultation Fees

Insurance note: Mastectomy procedures are fully reimbursed by Swiss health insurance (Cassa Malati) where clinically indicated.

Financing: The clinic offers direct internal financing without bank intermediation.

All prices are indicative, depend on your individual assessment, and are confirmed at consultation. Package pricing is available for selected protocols.

Why Patients Choose LaCLINIQUE of Switzerland

The combination of Swiss regulatory standards and multi-country accessibility distinguishes LaCLINIQUE structurally. Patients travelling from Italy or the Gulf region can be assessed and treated within the same clinical network, with consistent protocols applied across locations.

The clinical technology inventory is broad and specific HIFU, BodyTite, Thermage FLX, PLASMAGE®, Fractional CO2, Picolaser, Rigenera, and Bioscience Institute lipofilling protocols are not uniformly available within a single aesthetic clinic group. The Vaser Lipo HD capability with 2–4 mm cannulas, and the microsurgical operating microscope for varicocele procedures, indicate investment in technique-specific equipment rather than generalist provision.

The personal consultant model a named non-clinical point of contact available throughout the patient journey addresses a consistent pain point in aesthetic medicine: patients who understand the clinical procedure but feel unsupported through the administrative, logistical, and emotional aspects of the decision. Peer recommendations are noted in patient feedback as a primary referral channel, suggesting a level of post-treatment satisfaction that generates word-of-mouth.

International & Remote Patient Services

LaCLINIQUE of Switzerland serves an international patient base across its Swiss, Italian, and Dubai locations. The urology and andrology division in particular draws patients from across Europe and beyond.

Consultations and treatments are available in Italian, English, French, and German. The clinic's digital platform supports additional languages through translation tools. All-inclusive packages for protocols such as the Swiss Mommy Makeover and Rosacea PDT provide international patients with a defined cost framework. Internal financing is available without bank involvement, which simplifies payment logistics for cross-border patients.

Remote coordination for pre- and post-treatment phases is managed through the personal consultant assigned to each patient. For patients travelling from outside Switzerland, the consultant supports scheduling, documentation, and post-procedure remote follow-up where in-person return is not immediately practical.

Reaching the Clinic in Lugano

The main LaCLINIQUE of Switzerland centre is located in Lugano, in the canton of Ticino — a southern Swiss city that sits on the Swiss-Italian border and is well connected by air, rail, and road from across Europe. The Italian-language clinics in Milan, Turin, Rome, and Naples are accessible via their respective city's transport networks; the guidance below focuses on Lugano as the primary surgical centre.

By Air

Lugano Airport (LUG) is approximately 4 km west of the city centre, roughly 12 minutes by car. It handles regional and domestic routes. For international connections, Milan Malpensa (MXP) is the nearest major international airport approximately 80 km from Lugano with hourly train services taking around 1 hour 35 minutes. Milan Linate (LIN) and Milan Bergamo (BGY) are also within range at approximately 67 km and 69 km respectively. Zurich Airport (ZRH), Switzerland's largest hub with the widest international connections, is approximately 165 km from Lugano and is served by direct trains into Lugano via the Swiss rail network.

By Road

Lugano is accessible by car via the A2 motorway, which connects it directly to Milan in the south (approximately 75 km) and to Zurich and Basel in the north via the Gotthard route. The Gotthard Base Tunnel, the world's longest railway tunnel, significantly reduces rail and road transit times from northern Switzerland and Germany. Car hire is available at Lugano Airport and at Malpensa and Zurich airports for patients travelling by air.

Accommodation

Patients travelling to Lugano for treatment particularly those undergoing surgical procedures requiring a recovery period will need accommodation within comfortable distance of the clinic. Lugano offers options across a range of price points, from international hotel groups to smaller lakeside properties. Patients are advised to book accommodation that allows easy access to the clinic for any post-operative follow-up appointments without extensive travel.

Facilities & Clinical Environment

[Image 3]

The main Lugano centre houses five fully equipped operational studios designed for both surgical and non-surgical procedures. The facility operates under the supervision of specialist medical staff and follows regulated Swiss health company protocols for hygiene and patient safety.

Technology at the clinic includes a dedicated optical microscope for varicocele microsurgery, Vaser ultrasound equipment for Lipo HD, energy-based platforms (HIFU, PLASMAGE®, Thermage FLX, BodyTite, CAV CELL INTRA PLUS, IPL/DPL, Picolaser, Fractional CO2), and regenerative tools including Rigenera cellular micrograft equipment. Diagnostic capability includes testicular Doppler ultrasound and the HelixGYN, HelixCOLON, HelixMOKER, and HelixPAN genetic testing panels.

Post-procedure recovery takes place in a dedicated clinical monitoring area before discharge is confirmed by the treating team.

Patient Feedback

Verified patient feedback from the clinic's records indicates several consistent themes. Patients frequently cite the professionalism of the medical staff and describe finding an 'organised and safe structure.' Testimonials reference the patience and responsiveness of personal consultants during periods of uncertainty in the decision-making process. The availability of direct internal financing is noted positively.

Reported outcomes include patients describing significant physical changes in how clothing fits following fat reduction procedures, and skin described as perceptibly firmer and more taut following thread and injectable treatments.

Psychological outcomes including increased self-confidence and, specifically for reconstructive patients, recovery of a sense of personal identity, appear in multiple accounts. A number of patients arrived following unsatisfactory experiences at other facilities; feedback from this group specifically references the clinic's safety standards and clinical organisation as the deciding factors.

Patient feedback is drawn from verified clinic records. Individual outcomes vary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LaCLINIQUE of Switzerland suitable for a first-time patient?

Yes. The consultation process is designed to support patients at all levels of familiarity with aesthetic or medical procedures. The specialist visit determines which intervention, if any, is clinically appropriate for your specific situation there is no obligation or expectation to proceed following that assessment.

Are treatments painful?

Pain levels vary by procedure. Non-surgical treatments such as Botox and Profhilo involve mild discomfort managed with topical anaesthetic cream. Minimally invasive procedures including Lipo HD use local anaesthesia; patients commonly report minimal pain during the procedure. Surgical procedures use local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia depending on complexity, with post-operative pain managed with standard analgesics. Your treating specialist will discuss the expected pain profile for your specific procedure at consultation.

What is the recovery period?

Recovery depends on the procedure performed. Non-surgical treatments carry no meaningful downtime. Minimally invasive procedures such as Lipo HD allow return to daily activity within 7–10 days. Major surgical procedures abdominoplasty, mastopexy, facelifts involve a recovery arc of several weeks for initial healing, with final results typically assessed at approximately 6 months. Your surgeon will provide a personalised recovery timeline at consultation.

How long do results last?

This depends on the treatment. Botox effects typically persist 3–6 months. Lipofilling and surgical procedures produce long-term results that are maintained with stable body weight. Profhilo's lifting effect is typically maximal at 8 weeks after the first session and maintained through the standard treatment cycle. Permanence for each procedure is discussed at consultation.

Does Swiss health insurance cover any treatments?

Mastectomy procedures are fully reimbursed by Swiss health insurance (Cassa Malati) where clinically indicated. Aesthetic procedures are not covered by standard health insurance. Direct internal financing is available for elective treatments without bank intermediation.

Arrange a Consultation

A consultation with a LaCLINIQUE specialist is the appropriate first step to determine whether a specific procedure is suitable for your individual situation. Suitability, technique selection, realistic outcomes, and recovery requirements are all assessed in person; they cannot be determined from a web page alone.
