Crisalix aims to develop scientific technologies in the field of plastic and aesthetic surgery to improve surgeon-patient relationships. Thanks to its unique solution available on the Internet, Crisalix offers practitioners new consultation standards.

Crisalix is the inventor of e-Stetix, the first web-based 3D preview technology for plastic surgery based on physical properties of the body. As a pioneer in its field, Crisalix has developed a system for reconstructing the patient's body in 3D from 2D images.

Based in the fastest growing life science cluster in the world, The Swiss Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland, and collaborating with renowned academic R&D centers such as the Institute of Surgical Technology and Biomechanics (ISTB) of the University of Bern, and the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the National Hospital also located in Bern, Crisalix brings together the latest advancements in surgical technology, 3D and information technology.

Crisalix was initiated in 2006 with the support of the CO-ME network (Computer Aided and Image Guided Medical Interventions) in Switzerland and started collaborating with the ISTB, the EPFL and the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery of the National Hospital in 2008.

In 2009 the Innovation Promotion Agency (CTI) Switzerland, decided to co-finance Crisalix for its unique technology and for being the pioneer in the field of surgery.

In 2010, a third research center Crisalix was created in Barcelona.

Following highly conclusive results from a clinical study conducted in 2011 in collaboration with the National Hospital and the ISTB, the CTI granted Crisalix funding for the second time, to continue supporting its development of state-of-the-art reconstructive 3D imaging.
