Treat Facial Contours in Zurich
A clear jawline gives structure to the face. It frames the lower third of the face and can positively influence and rejuvenate the overall impression. For natural contouring, we use a special, sculpting hyaluronic acid.

Treatment goal: a harmonious facial contour
The goal of the treatment is a clearly recognizable line between the cheek, jaw, and neck. The jawline is built up to give the face profile and more structure to the lower third. Depending on the initial situation, the contour can appear more defined, narrower, or overall more balanced.

Contouring with Hyaluronic Acid
The lower facial area determines the contour. The more prominent it is, the more harmonious the transition from cheek to neck. If this line becomes less distinct, the face appears wider or less structured. Many patients first notice small changes. The skin appears softer, the contour loses clarity. With special hyaluronic acid, we can redefine the profile.
Why does the skin lose contour over time?
Tissue changes with age. Connective tissue loses firmness, fat compartments shift downwards, and the bony foundation in the lower jaw area slightly recedes. These processes affect the contour of the lower face.
Depending on the initial situation, the focus is either on the desire for more profile or a gentle tightening of the contour. Both require a good understanding of proportions and experience in application.
Treating Facial Contours with Hyaluronic Acid
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a natural component of the skin. It binds water and supports the tissue structure.
In aesthetic medicine, we use hyaluronic acid as a filler. A filler is a gel-like material that can build volume and shape contours.
In the jawline area, the filler strengthens the skin structure and the natural shape of the lower jaw.
How does the treatment work?
The filler is injected with a fine needle or microcannula into the designated areas along the jawline. This creates more support in the tissue, and the contour is more clearly emphasized. The technique used depends on the anatomy, skin quality, and desired effect.
When is the effect visible and how long does the result last?
The effect is usually visible immediately after treatment. The final result appears after one to two weeks, once the material has fully integrated into the tissue. Depending on individual metabolism and product, the result usually lasts nine to twelve months, sometimes longer.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions about Facial Contouring Treatment
What does facial contouring with hyaluronic acid involve?
In facial contouring, we use a special hyaluronic acid to emphasize the chin-jawline, also known as the jawline. This can be subtly sculpted depending on the injection point and dosage. More defined and prominent silhouettes are possible. Hyaluronic acid itself is a natural substance that can bind large amounts of water and provides stability to the tissue. The treatment at Derma Medical Clinic is outpatient, takes only a few minutes, and requires no downtime.
When is jawline treatment advisable?
The treatment is suitable for defining the jawline. This applies if it has lost contour over the years, in cases of sagging cheeks, or with genetically softer contours. Hyaluronic acid is generally very well-tolerated, making the treatment suitable even for sensitive skin.
How much does the face change with the treatment?
The extent to which the profile or facial expression changes depends on the initial situation and the amount of hyaluronic acid used. Generally, the contour becomes clearer, and the face appears more structured. We tailor the treatment to the existing proportions and individual skin structure.
Is the effect immediately visible?
The contouring is visible immediately after the injection. Slight swelling may occur in the first few days after treatment, but these are temporary. You will see the final result after about one to two weeks. Touch-ups, for example, to prolong the effect, are possible at any time as desired.
How long does a facial contour treatment with hyaluronic acid last?
The duration usually ranges from about nine to twelve months. It depends on the product used, metabolism, desired result, and the treated region. Touch-ups after a few months are recommended.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients find the treatment not painful, at most slightly uncomfortable. If necessary, we can apply an anesthetic cream. A slight pressure sensation may occur during the injection.
When can I resume social activities after the treatment?
In most cases, immediately after the treatment. Slight swelling may be visible but is usually inconspicuous. Generally, this can be well covered with makeup. However, important appointments should not be scheduled immediately afterwards.
What is the difference between hyaluronic acid and biostimulators for facial contour treatment?
Hyaluronic acid immediately shapes the contour. The contouring is visible right away. Biostimulators stimulate the skin to produce its own collagen and work more slowly. For jawline contouring, hyaluronic acid is usually used because a distinct shaping is desired here. Combinations of both substances are possible.
