Clinic Overview
Leman Aesthetic Clinic was founded by Dr. Daniel Haselbach and Dr. Daniel Espinoza, whose professional relationship began with a shared humanitarian surgical mission more than ten years ago. The clinic has since grown into a multi-surgeon practice combining the expertise of three FMH specialists to cover a broad procedural range from primary rhinoplasty and breast augmentation to regenerative medicine and hair restoration.
The clinical philosophy is built on six stated values: autonomy, predictability, transparency, continuity, safety, and simplicity. These are applied practically through a two-consultation minimum before any procedure, mandatory pre-anesthetic evaluations, and a digital patient platform (Adoreal) that supports 3D result visualisation and post-operative tracking. The clinic operates its own surgical suite in Geneva and a full operating theatre in Nyon, and draws on six partner facilities for cases requiring broader surgical capacity.
The practice positions itself at the premium end of the Swiss aesthetic medicine market. Patients are described as adults of all ages seeking natural, harmonious results rather than dramatic change — and the clinical approach is oriented accordingly, emphasising proportionality and discretion across all procedures.
Treatments & Services
Leman Aesthetic Clinic organises its offer across five clinical categories. The range below reflects the full procedural scope drawn from clinic data.
Facial Surgery
Blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid), rhinoplasty (traditional and preservation techniques), facelift and necklift (SMAS repositioning), facial fat transfer (lipofilling), otoplasty, bichectomy (buccal fat removal), and double chin liposuction — often combined with Renuvion for skin tightening.
Breast Surgery
Mia Femtech™ minimally invasive augmentation, traditional breast augmentation (implants, fat transfer, or composite), breast reduction, breast lift (mastopexy), and gynecomastia surgery for men.
Body Contouring Surgery
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), liposuction using Vaser and Renuvion, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck with diastasis repair), and intimate surgery for men and women (labiaplasty, penoplasty).
Aesthetic Medicine (Non-Surgical & Regenerative)
CoolSculpting® (cryolipolysis), hyaluronic acid injections, botulinum toxin injections, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), collagen biostimulants (Radiesse, HarmonyCa), Morpheus 8 radiofrequency microneedling, Ulthera (HIFU), CO₂ laser photorejuvenation, IPL (intense pulsed light).
Core Treatments in Detail
Blepharoplasty
- Category: Surgical
- Technique: Upper and/or lower eyelid rejuvenation; skin or fat excision via transconjunctival or transcutaneous approach; incisions placed along the eyelid crease with fat sculpting and layered closure. A minimum of 20 mm of vertical eyelid height is preserved intraoperatively to ensure functional eye closure.
- Best Suited For: Patients with drooping upper eyelids (dermatochalasis) or persistent under-eye bags
- Results Duration: Long-lasting with a healthy lifestyle; individual variation applies
- Key Notes: Pre-operative ophthalmic evaluation is required. Blepharoplasty is often the first surgical procedure for patients new to aesthetic surgery. Full four-eyelid blepharoplasty is available where upper and lower correction is required simultaneously. Botulinum toxin may be used adjunctively for a hypertrophic orbicularis roll in the lower eyelid — clinical protocol specifies 2 units of Type A toxin in the mid-pupillary plane.
Rhinoplasty
- Category: Surgical
- Technique: Traditional or preservation rhinoplasty to refine the nasal tip, reduce a dorsal hump, or adjust length and width. Non-surgical rhinoplasty with hyaluronic acid is available for minor contouring.
- Best Suited For: Individuals with nasal disproportions or functional breathing issues
- Results Duration: Permanent once swelling has fully resolved
- Key Notes: Preservation rhinoplasty maintains more of the native structural cartilage. Non-surgical rhinoplasty is a non-permanent option limited in scope compared to surgical correction. Suitability is determined at consultation based on nasal anatomy and functional status.
Facelift & Necklift
- Category: Surgical
- Technique: SMAS repositioning and tightening of underlying musculature. A mini face and necklift addresses early laxity; a full cervico-facial lift is indicated for more advanced sagging.
- Best Suited For: Patients with skin laxity, deep wrinkles, and jowling; mini lift suited to mild-moderate presentation
- Results Duration: Long-lasting; varies with age, skin quality, and lifestyle
- Key Notes: Modern lifting techniques aim to produce a natural, rested result rather than an overtightened appearance. Candidacy depends on overall health status and degree of tissue descent.
Breast Augmentation — Traditional
- Category: Surgical
- Technique: Placement of round (from 7,900 CHF) or anatomical silicone prostheses (from 8,900 CHF; Motiva Joy implants), fat transfer via lipofilling (from 6,000 CHF), or a composite approach combining both.
- Best Suited For: Women wishing to increase breast volume, reshape contour, or improve firmness
- Recovery: Approximately one week of rest is typically required following breast surgery
- Results Duration: Implant longevity varies; fat transfer results are permanent within the proportion that successfully engrafts
- Key Notes: Anaesthesia type (sedation or general) is determined by the extent of the procedure. Some reconstructive breast procedures may be partially or fully covered by health insurance — the surgeon assesses eligibility and submits requests individually.
Mia Femtech™
- Category: Surgical (minimally invasive)
- Technique: Placement of ultra-soft implants through very small incisions under local anaesthesia
- Best Suited For: Patients seeking a natural augmentation of approximately one to two cup sizes without general anaesthesia
- Recovery: Faster return to daily activities compared to traditional augmentation; specific timeline
- Key Notes: The absence of general anaesthesia is the principal clinical differentiator from traditional breast augmentation. This approach is not indicated for patients seeking more significant volume changes.
Liposuction
- Category: Surgical
- Technique: Fat removal using Vaser (ultrasound-assisted) and/or Renuvion (J-Plasma skin tightening) for enhanced contouring and skin firming. Available as small (from 3,000 CHF), multi-area (from 6,000 CHF), or mega multi-area (from 10,000 CHF).
- Best Suited For: Individuals with localised fat deposits that have not responded to diet and exercise
- Results Duration: Permanent fat cell removal in the treated area; results depend on weight maintenance
- Key Notes: Combining Vaser and Renuvion is designed to address both fat volume and overlying skin laxity in a single procedure. Standard candidacy criteria apply, including stable weight and adequate skin elasticity.
Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck)
- Category: Surgical
- Technique: Tightening of abdominal musculature including diastasis recti repair with excision of excess skin and fat
- Best Suited For: Patients with abdominal muscle separation and skin laxity following pregnancy or significant weight loss
- Results Duration: Long-lasting with stable weight; abdominal muscle repair is considered permanent
- Key Notes: Diastasis repair addresses the functional as well as aesthetic component of post-pregnancy abdominal changes. This procedure is typically not recommended for patients planning future pregnancies.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)
- Category: Surgical
- Technique: Liposuction of the abdomen and flanks with autologous fat reinjection into the buttocks; from 7,000 CHF
- Best Suited For: Patients with sufficient donor fat who wish to increase buttock volume and improve overall body contour
- Results Duration: Permanent for fat that successfully engrafts; a proportion of transferred fat is reabsorbed in the months following surgery
- Key Notes: BBL carries specific positioning and injection-depth protocols to mitigate risk. Patient selection and surgical technique are clinically significant safety variables.
Botulinum Toxin Injections
- Category: Non-surgical
- Technique: Intramuscular injection of Type A botulinum toxin to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles; also used for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and other indications on request
- Best Suited For: Patients with dynamic expression lines (forehead, glabella, crow's feet) or excessive sweating
- Recovery: Minimal to no downtime
- Results Duration: Typically three to six months; varies by individual and area treated
- Key Notes: Onset is typically visible within five to fourteen days of injection. Repeat treatment is required to maintain results. Pricing: 1 area from 300 CHF; 3 areas (standard upper face) from 600 CHF; hyperhidrosis from 900 CHF.
Hyaluronic Acid Injections
- Category: Non-surgical
- Technique: Intradermal or subdermal injection of hyaluronic acid to restore volume, hydrate tissue, and address deep lines or facial hollowing; dissolution with hyaluronidase available from 300 CHF where needed
- Best Suited For: Patients seeking to restore facial volume, reshape the lip or jawline, or smooth nasolabial folds
- Recovery: Minimal; temporary swelling and bruising are common
- Results Duration: Variable by product and area; commonly six to eighteen months
- Key Notes: In the rare event of arterial occlusion following periorbital filler injection, treatment must be administered within 100 minutes to address the risk of visual compromise underscoring the clinical importance of practitioner expertise and facility readiness. Profhilo (a skin hydrator rather than volumiser) is available as a one- or two-session protocol at 500–900 CHF.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Category: Regenerative
- Technique: The patient's blood is centrifuged to concentrate growth factors, which are then reinjected into the skin or scalp
- Best Suited For: Patients seeking improved skin texture, scar reduction, or increased hair density
- Recovery: Minimal downtime; temporary redness at injection sites is typical
- Results Duration: A package of three sessions is typically recommended; maintenance frequency determined at follow-up
- Key Notes: A systematic review of 38 published reports on aesthetic PRP applications found 95% of studies claimed effectiveness, with objective measurement methodology used in 47%. Clinical focus areas in reviewed literature: 29% aging skin, 26% scalp alopecia, 21% lipofilling enhancement, 13% fractional laser combination, 11% facial surgery support. Pricing: 600 CHF per session; package of 3 sessions at 1,500 CHF.
Morpheus 8
- Category: Non-surgical
- Technique: Combined radiofrequency energy and microneedling delivered into the deep dermis and subdermal tissue; available for face, neck, arms, abdomen, and knees
- Best Suited For: Patients with skin laxity, wrinkles, or acne scarring
- Recovery: Temporary redness and mild swelling; typically minimal downtime
- Key Notes: Results develop progressively over weeks to months as collagen remodels. Pricing: from 600 CHF per area (one area = face and neck / arms / abdomen / knees).
Ulthera (Ultherapy / HIFU)
- Category: Non-surgical
- Technique: High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) delivered to the SMAS layer to stimulate collagen and produce a lifting effect
- Best Suited For: Patients with mild to moderate facial or neck laxity seeking a non-surgical alternative to lifting
- Recovery: Minimal; temporary discomfort during treatment is common
- Key Notes: Endoscopic brow-lift is noted in clinical literature as most effective for ptosis of up to 1.5 cm which contextualises HIFU as the appropriate non-surgical option for this milder candidacy tier. Pricing: brow lift 550 CHF; full face 1,800–2,500 CHF; neck 1,500–2,000 CHF; décolleté 900 CHF.
Collagen Biostimulants (Radiesse, HarmonyCa, Sunekos)
- Category: Non-surgical
- Technique: Injectable biostimulants that trigger the body's own collagen production rather than adding immediate volume; also includes polynucleotides and exosomes
- Best Suited For: Patients wanting to firm skin tone and improve quality with results extending beyond standard hyaluronic acid filler
- Recovery: Minimal
- Results Duration: Up to two years reported for calcium-based biostimulants
- Key Notes: Effects are gradual, developing as neocollagenesis progresses. Not a direct substitute for volumising fillers. HarmonyCa: 650 CHF per syringe; Radiesse: 750 CHF; polynucleotides: 3-session pack at 1,300 CHF; exosomes: 3-session pack at 1,300 CHF.
CoolSculpting® (Cryolipolysis)
- Category: Non-surgical
- Technique: Controlled application of intense cold to selectively destroy fat cells, which are then cleared through natural metabolic processes
- Best Suited For: Individuals with localised fat deposits not suited or not ready for surgical liposuction; common areas include abdomen, flanks, inner thighs, arms, double chin, and male chest
- Recovery: No surgical downtime; temporary numbness or tenderness in the treated area
- Results Duration: Fat cells are permanently destroyed in the treated area; results depend on weight maintenance
- Key Notes: CoolSculpting® is not a weight-loss treatment and is not indicated for generalised obesity. Pricing: standard applicators 650 CHF; large applicator 900 CHF; Cool Mini (chin) 800 CHF per area.
CO₂ Laser Photorejuvenation
- Category: Non-surgical / energy-based
- Technique: Fractional or ablative CO₂ laser to resurface the skin and stimulate regeneration
- Best Suited For: Patients with pigmentation irregularities, redness, or acne scarring
- Recovery: Downtime varies by ablative versus fractional approach
- Key Notes: Fractional CO₂ is the standard approach for most skin concerns; ablative treatment is available upon request for more extensive resurfacing. Pricing: full face fractional CO₂ 1,000–1,500 CHF per session.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
- Category: Non-surgical / energy-based
- Technique: Broad-spectrum pulsed light targeting vascular structures and pigmented lesions; also used for hair reduction
- Best Suited For: Individuals seeking to even skin tone, reduce redness, or achieve long-term hair reduction; effective for vascular and pigmentation concerns
- Recovery: Minimal
- Results Duration: Multiple sessions typically required; results accumulate with each treatment
- Key Notes: IPL is most effective for lighter skin phototypes. Pricing: full face 350 CHF per session / 950 CHF for 3; full face + neck + décolleté 700 CHF per session; isolated pigment or vascular spots from 150 CHF.
Hair Transplant (FUE)
- Category: Surgical
- Technique: Follicular Unit Extraction individual follicular units are harvested from the donor area and implanted into the recipient site
- Best Suited For: Patients experiencing male-pattern baldness or diffuse thinning with adequate donor density
- Results Duration: Transplanted follicles are considered permanent; hair grows progressively over approximately 9–18 months following the procedure
- Key Notes: Candidacy is determined by the ratio of donor density to recipient area. PRP is used adjunctively to support scalp health and follicle survival in some protocols. Pricing: 6,000–8,000 CHF per session.
The Patient Pathway
- Initial Enquiry Patients can book directly via the online scheduling platform (Onedoc), call the secretariat at +41 22 346 59 56 (Geneva) or +41 22 346 59 59 (Nyon), email info@leman-clinic.ch, or contact the team via WhatsApp at +41 78 785 03 43. The secretariat is open Monday–Thursday 8:30–19:30 and Friday 8:30–17:30.
- First Consultation (150 CHF) The first consultation involves a clinical assessment of the patient's concerns and objectives. Where relevant, 3D simulation using the Adoreal platform is conducted, allowing the patient to visualise potential outcomes on their own anatomy. A 20% fee discount applies to patients under 30. Some procedures considered medically necessary may qualify for insurance coverage the surgeon assesses eligibility and submits requests to the insurer individually.
- Period of Reflection A mandatory reflection period is built into the pre-operative pathway before a second appointment is scheduled. This is a clinical and ethical safeguard.
- Second Pre-Operative Consultation The second consultation confirms the treatment plan, finalises the surgical or procedural approach, and schedules the procedure date. Pre-operative requirements including mandatory pre-anaesthetic medical check-up and cessation of anticoagulants and aspirin are reviewed at this stage.
- Procedure Day Procedures are performed at the Geneva surgical suite, the Nyon operating theatre, or a partner clinic depending on the intervention. Most treatments are performed on an outpatient basis; major surgeries may involve a short overnight stay.
- Recovery Major procedures such as breast augmentation or reduction typically require approximately one week of rest before returning to daily activities. Strenuous activity, sun exposure, and specific medications are restricted for defined periods communicated at the pre-operative consultation.
- Follow-Up & Ongoing Support Organised post-operative follow-up consultations monitor healing and track results. The Adoreal digital platform provides patients with continuous access to their clinical records, recovery protocol, and regular contact points with the clinical team.
Results & Clinical Outcomes
Patients at Leman Aesthetic Clinic commonly report satisfaction with outcomes described as natural-looking and proportionate to their features. Surgical results are designed to enhance definition and vitality without an operated appearance. All outcomes vary between individuals and are shaped by anatomy, skin quality, age, and adherence to post-operative aftercare.
For regenerative and non-surgical treatments, results develop progressively. Collagen biostimulants are reported to maintain effect for up to two years; botulinum toxin typically requires repeat treatment every three to six months. PRP is generally recommended in a course of three sessions, with maintenance frequency determined at follow-up.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery varies significantly by procedure. Major surgical interventions — including breast augmentation, breast reduction, abdominoplasty, and facelift — typically require a minimum of one week of rest before returning to daily activities. Strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and specific medications are restricted for defined periods communicated at the pre-operative consultation.
Non-surgical treatments generally involve minimal to no downtime, though temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at treatment sites is common and typically resolves within days. Patients receive organised post-operative follow-up consultations at defined intervals.
Pre-operative instructions require cessation of anticoagulants and aspirin before surgery. A mandatory pre-anaesthetic check-up is performed before all procedures requiring sedation or general anaesthesia.
Safety, Risks & Side Effects
All surgical and non-surgical procedures carry inherent risk. At Leman Aesthetic Clinic, pre-operative protocols including medical check-ups and anaesthetic evaluation — are mandatory before any procedure involving sedation or general anaesthesia.
- Common side effects across procedures include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and discomfort at the treatment site. These are expected physiological responses and typically resolve within days to weeks depending on the intervention.
- Less common risks include infection, adverse scarring, asymmetry, and anaesthetic complications. For filler injections in the periorbital region, arterial occlusion is a rare but serious risk; the clinical window for emergency treatment of potential visual compromise is within 100 minutes of occurrence, underscoring the importance of practitioner expertise and facility emergency preparedness.
- Dermatologic surgery at the clinic includes Mohs micrographic surgery for skin cancer, a technique used to ensure complete lesion removal and reduce recurrence risk. Contraindications are procedure-specific and are assessed at the pre-operative consultation. Patients on anticoagulant therapy must cease these medications pre-operatively as directed.

Why Patients Choose Leman Aesthetic Clinic
The clinic's principal differentiator is its multi-surgeon model. Three FMH-certified specialists each with their own areas of clinical focus collaborate to deliver a procedural range exceeding 50 treatments, a scope uncommon in a practice of this size. Dr. Haselbach and Dr. Espinoza have operated together for over ten years, and the relationship traces to shared humanitarian surgical work rather than commercial partnership a foundation that is evident in the practice's stated values.
Technology deployment is a second distinguishing feature. The use of Adoreal for 3D pre-operative simulation, Vaser and Renuvion in liposuction, Motiva Joy implants in breast augmentation, and the full suite of energy devices (Morpheus 8, Ulthera, CO₂ laser, CoolSculpting®) reflects a practice that integrates current clinical tools across both surgical and non-surgical domains. The mandatory two-consultation pathway with a built-in reflection period is consistent with Swiss medical ethics standards and functions as a practical filter for well-matched patient-procedure pairings.
International & Remote Patient Services
Leman Aesthetic Clinic provides services in both French and English, which accommodates international patients from Francophone and Anglophone regions. The clinic's Geneva location in the central Rive district and the Nyon location accessible from major motorways and rail connections are both suited to patients travelling for treatment.
The Adoreal digital platform supports remote engagement before and after treatment, providing patients who return home following a procedure with documented access to their records, recovery protocol, and follow-up schedule. Remote or telemedicine pre-consultation availability should be confirmed directly with the clinic secretariat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Leman Aesthetic Clinic suitable for a first-time patient?
Yes. Blepharoplasty, for example, is noted as a procedure frequently chosen by patients undergoing aesthetic surgery for the first time. The two-consultation pathway and mandatory reflection period are specifically designed to support informed decision-making for patients at any stage of familiarity with aesthetic procedures.
Are the procedures painful?
Pain management and anaesthesia type depend on the specific procedure. Most non-surgical treatments involve minimal discomfort at the injection or application site. Minimally invasive procedures such as Mia Femtech™ are performed under local anaesthesia; major surgical interventions such as traditional breast surgery or abdominoplasty require sedation or general anaesthesia. Specific pain management protocols are discussed at the pre-operative consultation.
What is the recovery period?
Recovery varies significantly by procedure. Major surgeries including breast augmentation, breast reduction, and abdominoplasty typically require approximately one week of rest. Non-surgical treatments generally carry minimal to no downtime. Procedure-specific timelines are reviewed at the pre-operative consultation.
How long do results last?
Surgical outcomes rhinoplasty, blepharoplasty, and liposuction are long-lasting provided a stable weight and healthy lifestyle are maintained. Non-surgical treatments require periodic maintenance: botulinum toxin typically every three to six months; collagen biostimulants up to two years; PRP in a course of three sessions. Individual variation is assessed at consultation.
Are some procedures covered by health insurance in Switzerland?
Procedures considered medically necessary such as certain breast reconstructions or functionally indicated blepharoplasty may be partially or fully covered by Swiss health insurance. The operating surgeon assesses eligibility on an individual basis and submits the request to the insurer. Consultations for these cases are automatically covered. Most purely aesthetic procedures are not reimbursed.
Arrange a Consultation
Determining whether a surgical or non-surgical procedure is appropriate for you requires a personal clinical assessment. A consultation at Leman Aesthetic Clinic begins with a structured evaluation of your anatomy, health status, and objectives and includes, where relevant, 3D visualisation of potential outcomes via the Adoreal platform. This is the appropriate starting point for an informed, considered decision.
