Juläine in Geneva: firmer, more radiant skin without added volume

Dr Navid Alizadeh offers Juläine in Geneva to rejuvenate the face without altering its volume. This treatment reflects his long-standing search for an alternative to volumising procedures: while hyaluronic acid injections are ideal for restoring or reshaping volume, this is not what every face needs.

Juläine, developed by Nordberg Medical, meets this need. This next-generation collagen biostimulator, based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) microspheres, progressively and naturally improves skin firmness, elasticity and radiance, without changing facial features or creating a “pillow face” (puffy face) effect.

Juläine or Sculptra: what is the difference?

Both products are based on the same active ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid, and work in the same way by stimulating collagen.

Sculptra has been used for many years. It contains polylactic acid in the form of free particles that are irregular in shape and size.
Juläine, available in Switzerland since 2024, consists of calibrated microspheres with a highly uniform distribution.

Early studies suggest that this formulation reduces the risk of nodules and granulomas, the main complication associated with older formulations. These findings are encouraging, and further data continue to be gathered. For further reading, consult this prospective multicentre study on Juläine.

Who is Juläine suitable for?

Juläine is suitable for people who want to:

• improve their skin quality: firmness, elasticity, texture and radiance;
• tighten the facial oval and the skin of the cheeks;
• reduce a tired or sagging appearance without changing their features;
• achieve gradual, discreet rejuvenation that those around them will notice without being able to explain why.
• It is particularly suitable for faces that have lost firmness and skin quality but do not need additional volume.

Juläine and hyaluronic acid : two complementary treatments

Hyaluronic acid: restores volume or reshapes contours, with an immediate effect.
Juläine: improves skin quality and firmness, with a gradual, long-lasting effect.

Both treatments can be combined as part of a comprehensive rejuvenation plan, as can botulinum toxin for expression lines. Dr Alizadeh will work with you to determine the most suitable combination.

What happens during a session?

During the consultation, Dr Alizadeh analyses your face and skin quality and checks that Juläine is suitable for you. He then creates a personalized treatment plan.

The session lasts approximately 30 minutes. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and the product is then administered through micro-injections using a needle or cannula. You can resume your activities immediately. You will receive detailed aftercare instructions for the following days.

Why choose Dr Alizadeh for Juläine?

An FMH-certified plastic surgeon and international injection expert, Dr Navid Alizadeh was among the first to offer Juläine in Geneva. His in-depth knowledge of facial anatomy and biostimulators allows him to select the precise injection areas and depths for an even, natural-looking result. He performs every treatment himself.
