What is a medical facial treatment?
A medical facial treatment uses devices and active ingredients that work deeper than conventional cosmetics – for example, radiofrequency, microneedling, lasers, or biostimulants. It improves skin quality, texture, complexion, and firmness measurably, rather than just maintaining it.
At alestetics® at Zurich HB, every facial treatment begins with the free AURA 3D Skin Analysis. After that, we know which treatment your skin really needs – and which doesn’t.

Cleanses, nourishes and relaxes. Acts on the surface and for several days.

Most clients combine two goals – that’s why we work with a plan instead of individual appointments.
Twelve topics. Clear answers.
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Here you can see what your skin might be dealing with — and which treatments we use to address it.
Pre-ageing
Prevention is better than cure. It’s wiser to start before the age of 35 than to have to fix things after 50.
Find out more →Skin sagging & loss of contour
Jowls, a softer jawline, sagging cheeks. Can be specifically enhanced.
Find out more →Wrinkles & fine lines
Fine lines are reduced without injections. We strengthen the skin in the dermis.
Find out more →Discoloration after acne & PIH
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and an uneven complexion.
Find out more →Acne scars
Ice pick, boxcar, rolling. Treat within the dermis; do not cover.
Find out more →Acne & impurities
Even at 35, 45 or during the menopause. Different causes, a different approach.
Find out more →Couperose & redness
Couperose, telangiectasia, chronic redness. These conditions can be managed.
Find out more →Dehydrated skin
It’s not a skin type, it’s a condition. Water needs to reach the dermis — not just sit on the surface.
Find out more →Dark circles & under-eye bags
Different causes. Different treatments. Rarely just a lack of sleep.
Find out more →Large pores
Cleaning alone isn't enough. The collagen structure around the pore needs to be rebuilt.
Find out more →Transitional age & hormonal changes
Oestrogen levels drop, and your skin changes. Medical solutions rather than resignation.
Find out more →Skin quality & glow
Pale, tired, thinner. Skin quality can be measured and improved.
Find out more →Treatments are building blocks. It’s the plan that makes the difference.
We follow a clear sequence of steps: preparation, treatment, and finishing. This ensures that each treatment achieves its full potential — and often more than it would on its own.
We open the door.
Deep cleansing and exfoliation prepare the skin. Dead skin cells are removed, pores are unclogged, and the skin’s barrier is ready for what comes next.
HydraFacial™ · BioRePeel® · PRX-T33®
We work in depth.
Devices stimulate collagen, tighten, refine the texture and soothe the capillaries. This is the actual art of the treatment.
Volnewmer® · Vivace® · SkinPen® · Stellar M22™ · LaseMD Ultra™ · BTL Exilis® Face
We seal and nourish.
Active ingredients are absorbed into the prepared skin. LED light soothes and accelerates regeneration. This is where the glow you see the next day comes from.
Fillmed NCTF® · PolyPhil™ · Dermadrop TDA® · Dermalux™ LED
Energy first, active ingredient last. Every session follows this principle — because the order determines whether the treatment remains on the surface or reaches the dermis.
Twelve treatments. A carefully curated selection.
Every device and every active ingredient system has a specific role to play. We combine them according to plan — not based on availability.
Volnewmer® RF
Monopolar Radiofrequency Lifting. Tightens and rebuilds collagen from within. Core treatment for skin sagging and loss of contour.
Stellar M22™ IPL + ResurFX
Selective photothermolysis for troubled skin, redness, couperose and active acne. Photorejuvenation for a more even complexion.
LaseMD Ultra™
Fractionated thulium laser for even skin tone, finer pores and smoother skin texture. Available all year round and suitable for all skin tones.
Vivace® RF Microneedling
Microneedling combined with radiofrequency. Skin tightening, texture, acne scars. Noticeably more comfortable than traditional devices.
SkinPen® Microneedling
FDA-cleared microneedling. Purely mechanical, no heat. Safe for all skin tones. Core indication: acne scars.
HydraFacial™
Deep cleansing, exfoliation and an infusion of active ingredients all in one. An instant glow with no downtime. The perfect starting point for any skin care journey.
Fillmed NCTF®
59 active ingredients delivered directly into the skin. Mesotherapy for dehydrated, dull skin and the perimenopausal period.
BioRePeel®
Biphasic TCA peel. Three effects at once: exfoliation, biostimulation, revitalisation. No visible peeling.
PRX-T33®
A deeper peel than BioRePeel. Greater collagen stimulation, with kojic acid to combat pigmentation. No downtime despite its deep action.
PolyPhil™
DNA-level polynucleotides. Stimulates fibroblasts and improves skin firmness over the long term. Particularly effective around the eyes.
Dermadrop TDA®
Needle-free drug infusion using oxygen pressure technology. No needles required, even on sensitive skin. Ideal for women who are afraid of needles.
BTL Exilis® Face
Simultaneous monopolar RF and ultrasound. Main indications: double chin and a soft jawline. Comfortable, no downtime.
Dermalux™ LED
Tri-Wave LED phototherapy (blue, red, near-infrared). Included with every facial treatment — accelerates regeneration.
Dermalux™ LED is included in every facial treatment. We decide which wavelengths — blue, red or near-infrared — to use depending on the treatment and skin condition.

What we have deliberately chosen not to include in our concept.
We tested a wide range of technologies before putting together our treatment system. Here’s what we’ve deliberately left out of our range — and how we achieve the same results in a different way.
Morpheus 8
Deep RF treatment using insulated needles. We tested it — and found that our clients need longer recovery periods than our Skin Quality programme allows for.
Vivace® RF Microneedling — patented thinner needles, comparable depth of penetration, a significantly more comfortable experience.
Oxygeneo
Oxygen treatment with CO₂ bubbles – a very pleasant experience. For us, however, the effect is primarily superficial – we are looking for treatments that penetrate the dermis.
HydraFacial™ with Circadia® Booster and Dermadrop TDA® for a needle-free infusion of active ingredients.
We offer fewer treatments — but each one has its place in the system.
Who treats you
All with a certificate of professional competence according to V-NISSG. Consultations in German, English, Italian, Russian and Spanish.

„We discussed my skin concerns after analyzing the results from my facial skin photos and developed a plan outlining the next steps to address those concerns."
„Laser treatment is very pleasant, quick, and extremely competent! (Compared to experiences in other practices, it’s simply great!) Your offers are tailored to the individual customer and are very supportive. I can only recommend them to everyone."
„exilis w/ katia … great service, very thorough, and super friendly. nice results as well… had already had some icons a few days before –)"
„I would like to thank katja for being so friendly and knowledgeable in advising me. I can only recommend her. Always friendly and upbeat. Something like this is rare these days. Thank you for everything😊"
„Alex was pleasant to speak with and was able to answer all of my questions about my treatments and future treatments."
„Aleksandra was very professional, warm and friendly. She gave me excellent advice on what I needed, even though I’d booked a completely different treatment. All the risks and considerations were clearly explained, and I never felt like I was being pressured into anything. A great consultation… I’ve found my new go-to place for treatments.'
„A huge thank you to Alex for her advice. Her expertise and her calm, professional manner won me over straight away. She takes her time, tailors her advice to individual needs and gives fantastic tips for a home skincare routine. It’s exactly the kind of consultation you’d hope for – knowledgeable, warm and genuine."
„I really appreciate that there’s no pressure to buy extra services or products – just genuine, high-quality care. After nearly a year of visiting Alestetics, I’ve had nothing but positive experiences. Alex has been professional, kind and attentive throughout my visits. I highly recommend them!"
„I love coming here; it always feels like I’m going to a spa. They don’t try to sell me anything and are very open about what the treatments can (and cannot) do for me. They take health and wellbeing very seriously and always make sure I know how to look after myself outside the clinic as well."
„Alex is amazing! She listens to what the customer needs and explains the process. She is very knowledgeable and also makes recommendations. For me, her fluency in English is extremely helpful when we communicate."
„I had a Vivace treatment combined with PRX-T33. The appointment went smoothly; the staff were very professional and efficient. The clinic is close to HB and centrally located. Alexandra was very nice and friendly. I’ll definitely be coming back!"
„I had RF microneedling and EXILIS treatments on my stomach at Alestetics and am extremely pleased with the results. In fact, the results are much more noticeable than I had expected. Katia is highly professional, very attentive and incredibly warm. I highly recommend her!"
„I spent a long time looking for the right salon for me and I’m absolutely delighted that I chose alestetics®. The salon is beautiful, and everything is spotlessly clean and hygienic. Thanks to the team’s caring, friendly and professional manner, I felt very comfortable and safe throughout the entire treatment."
„I’ve been to Alestetics several times now. Before the treatment, they carried out an Aura skin analysis, during which they explained my skin condition to me in great detail — it was incredibly professional and transparent. Katia, Antonia and Alex are incredibly caring, knowledgeable and professional. You never feel like 'just another customer'."
„Today I had my first laser treatment (4 areas) with Katia and I felt completely at ease. She was particularly sensitive to my needs, as I can be a bit sensitive to pain at times. Her friendly manner made the treatment a really pleasant experience!"
„Katia is simply brilliant at her job! I’ve now had my third laser treatment. As I’m quite sensitive to pain, I really appreciate the fact that Katia always distracts me with a friendly chat. I feel very well looked after."
„I had a wonderful experience at the aesthetics clinic with Katia. She took the time to listen to my concerns, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt confident throughout. I would highly recommend Katia for high-quality and truly personalised treatment."
„Review of the BTL Exilis treatment. I’m an active man and work out regularly, but despite my best efforts, I couldn’t get rid of that stubborn belly fat. I noticed a difference after just the first treatment. After several sessions, the difference was clearly visible."
„All the treatments here are sensational. This wellness haven truly lives up to its reputation. It’s centrally located — right next to Zurich main station — and the atmosphere at the spa is serene and calm. Every visit to Alestetics is my monthly treat and feels like a mini-break."
„I’ve had several Endospheres treatments at alestetics. Alex and Katia are very professional, but also very friendly and caring. They’ve always taken my needs and wishes into account (avoiding the tummy after pregnancy). I can’t recommend them highly enough!"
„I had five EXILIS treatments with Katia at alestetics®. The service was excellent – Katia is very professional and warm, and explains everything in detail. You feel at ease with her straight away. I’d definitely recommend her!"
„I feel understood, and they're absolutely lovely and professional!!"
„I had an excellent experience with the Icoone treatment. Antonia was simply fantastic – very professional, warm and incredibly friendly. She took plenty of time and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire treatment."
„I visit Alestetics regularly for Hydrafacial and microneedling treatments. The team are really friendly and flexible. The location is perfect, and the studio is clean and comfortable. After three treatments, my skin feels much clearer and my pores are slightly smaller."
„I feel completely at ease with Alex and her team! From the welcome to the treatments, the hygiene and the atmosphere: everything is simply always perfect. I originally came across Alestetics because of their laser treatments, but now I also go there for my facials."
„The treatments at Alestetics have worked wonders on my sensitive skin. With Katia, you’re in absolutely professional hands!"
„I'm absolutely delighted to have found this clinic in Zurich where, after just four sessions, I've seen amazing results! The girl who looks after me, Katia, is so lovely; she put me at ease right from the start and is incredibly professional!"
„My favourite salon in Zh! Top-notch service, lovely welcome tea, friendly staff, helpful consultations, and I left feeling happy and glowing, looking gorgeous after my treatments. Thanks Katia, Alexandra, and the Alestetics team – one love!"
„At first, I was really impressed by the Endospheres therapy. But the Icoone treatment has surpassed everything: it massages the skin gently and painlessly from head to toe. I started the treatments less for firmer skin and more for my health. The team are like best friends to me."
„Very friendly and professional staff, who take the time to carry out a skin analysis and offer valuable advice! I highly recommend it. It was a pleasure to have the AURA 3D skin analysis and to discuss my daily skincare routine."
What you should know before you start.
The most common questions we get from first-time customers — answered honestly.
What is a medical facial treatment?
A medical facial treatment uses devices and active ingredients that work deeper than conventional cosmetics – for example, radiofrequency, microneedling, laser, or biostimulants. It improves skin quality, texture, complexion, and firmness in measurable ways, rather than just maintaining them. At alestetics®, it always starts with the free AURA 3D skin analysis.
Where should I start if I’ve never had a medical facial before?
With the AURA 3D Skin Analysis. You book online, come to see us for 60 minutes, we carry out the scan, discuss your goals and draw up a plan. It’s free, with no pressure to buy. Only then do you decide whether you want to go ahead with treatment, and if so, which one.
Which facial treatment is worth it?
The treatment that solves a measured problem is worth it. A single treatment brings a glow for a special occasion. Visible changes in pores, texture, or firmness occur over several sessions. Therefore, we prefer to plan three proper treatments rather than five random ones.
What is the most effective facial treatment?
There is no one most effective treatment. The treatment that best suits your skin condition usually involves a combination of methods: for example, a pre-treatment peel followed by microneedling or deep radiofrequency, followed by active ingredients and LED light therapy. Which treatment is right for you is determined by the AURA 3D skin analysis.
How many sessions will it take before I see results?
That depends on the treatment and your skincare goals. HydraFacial gives you an instant glow. Vivace, SkinPen and BioRePeel are carried out in courses — usually 3 to 5 sessions for visible structural changes. Volnewmer works after just one session, with cumulative effects becoming apparent after three months.
How often should you have a professional facial treatment?
In the initial phase, it is usually done every 4 weeks, because the skin renews itself at this rhythm. After that, a maintenance treatment is sufficient every 2 to 3 months. Volnewmer® is usually repeated once a year.
How much does a facial treatment cost in Zurich?
Classical cosmetic facial treatments in Zurich often cost around CHF 150 to 250. Medical facial treatments with equipment are more expensive. At alestetics®, they start at CHF 250 (HydraFacial™, Peels), Microneedling and Laser cost CHF 300 to 600, Volnewmer® RF-Lifting from CHF 1'600. A skin plan with multiple treatments starts at CHF 1'350. The AURA 3D skin analysis is free. You can find all prices on the page. Prices.
What is the difference between BioRePeel® and PRX-T33®?
Both are exfoliants that do not cause visible peeling. BioRePeel® contains TCA 35% and combines exfoliation, biostimulation and revitalisation — a well-balanced formula suitable for year-round use.
PRX-T33® goes deeper (TCA 33% combined with hydrogen peroxide) and has a stronger lifting effect as well as Kojic acid against pigments. Which one is right depends on your goal. — for pigments or desired lifting, we tend to use PRX; for overall skin quality, we use BioRePeel.
What is the difference between SkinPen® and Vivace® RF microneedling?
SkinPen® is FDA-cleared, purely mechanical microneedling — no heat, safe for all skin tones. Ideal for acne scars and darker skin.
Vivace® adds radiofrequency, which enables deeper collagen remodelling and skin tightening. More effective for sagging skin and deeper lines. We’ll determine which device is right for you during the AURA 3D analysis.
Is there any downtime?
It depends on the treatment. HydraFacial, Dermadrop, BioRePeel and PRX-T33 have zero downtime — you go right back to your daily routine. Vivace and SkinPen have mild redness for one to three days. Stellar M22 IPL usually shows mild redness for one to two days. At LaseMD Ultra, most people usually don’t see any redness, but fine crusts that fall off by themselves after 4–6 days. Volnewmer and EXILIS Face have no downtime. For combination treatments, we discuss the timeframe beforehand.
What if my skin is very sensitive or prone to redness?
We tailor the treatment to your needs. Dermadrop TDA®, HydraFacial™ Products containing soothing active ingredients and Dermalux LED are our first steps in treating reactive skin. Stellar M22™ IPL It is the main treatment for redness and couperosis — in this case we avoid aggressive peels.
Do I need an AURA 3D analysis before every treatment?
No. The AURA 3D Analysis forms the basis of your personal plan and is reviewed once a year — or whenever there are significant changes. Between sessions, we discuss your progress and adjust the plan accordingly.
Who carries out the treatments?
Our team: Alexandra Stroganova (founder & pre-aging expert), Katia Leocata (medical beautician, skin expert) and Antonia Colella (medical beautician, laser and body expert) – all with a certificate of competence under V-NISSG. Advice available in German, English, Italian, Russian and Spanish.
What makes alestetics® different from other studios in Zurich?
We combine equipment and active ingredients in a carefully planned sequence: preparation, main treatment, finishing touches. We deliberately avoid jumping on every bandwagon — and we won’t recommend a treatment you don’t need.
More planning, less selling.
