Microdermabrasion
This treatment is carried out by means of a mechanical peeling, it consists of renewing the skin, eliminating the first layer of the skin, giving rise to a completely rejuvenated skin. The goal of microdermabrasion is to make a person’s complexion smoother, brighter, and more evenly colored, making the skin look younger. People often request microdermabrasion to address: dull complexion / uneven skin tone / uneven skin texture / age spots / dark spots that can form after acne clears / melasma, a common blemish-forming problem dark or patchy skin and scars. Dermatologists can also use microdermabrasion to enhance the results of anti-aging or skin whitening products. The procedure can help these products penetrate the skin.
What to expect from treatment?
During your appointment, a handheld device will be used to gently spray the particles or sand down the outer layer of skin in specific areas. At the end of the treatment, a moisturizer and sunscreen will be applied to the skin.

Radiofrequency Facial
It is an electromagnetic wave that adheres to the skin tissue at the facial level. As an immediate result, the collagen fibers respond to the emission of heat with a contraction and tighten. This favors the recovery of the skin’s supportive tissue. In the long term, the thermal effect increases the metabolism of the fibroblasts causing the generation of new collagen causing an improvement in the tightening of the skin (lifting effect). Includes face, neck and chest.
Treatment Duration: 60 minutes.
Results: max. 12 continuous sessions.
Tracking: min. every 4 days – max. 1 time per week.
Radiofrequency with Microneedling (Morpheo)
Radiofrequency with Microneedling combines the benefits of controlled microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process. The tiny insulated needles create controlled microchannels while delivering heat deep into the dermis, promoting collagen and elastin production without significantly affecting the skin’s surface. This treatment improves skin firmness, tightens lax skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, minimizes enlarged pores, softens acne scars, and enhances overall skin texture and tone. It is also effective for improving stretch marks and certain types of surgical scars.
Treatment Areas: Face, neck, décolleté, abdomen, arms, thighs, knees, and other areas with skin laxity, acne scars, enlarged pores, wrinkles, or stretch marks.

HIFU-Ultherapy
The Hifu treatment is the most effective equipment for skin tightening, it is a medical equipment of high intensity focused ultrasounds that lift, tighten and “compact” the skin without surgery. This system reaches the deepest layers of the skin, at the level called SMAS, where the muscles that support the tissues are located and generates micro-coagulation points that compact the tissue and reorganize the collagen fibers to achieve a lifting effect and combat the flaccidity. Indicated for all people. It is the only non-invasive treatment that has FDA certification for tightening the skin of the face and neck.
Treatment Duration: 45min – 4 hours.
Results: seen from 3 months.
Follow-up: one every 6 months or once a year.
Laser DPL
This treatment works on the skin to stimulate fibroblast, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastic fibers, thus restoring skin elasticity. Additionally, it enhances vascular function, improves microcirculation, reduces wrinkles, shrinks pores, and revitalizes the skin. Furthermore, the light of this laser is absorbed by pigments groups such as melanin or hemoglobin in the skin, increasing their temperature. This targeted increase in temperature helps disintegrate or break down the pigment groups without harming the surrounding normal skin. The fragmented pigment is then expelled from the body, facilitating more effective treatment.
Laser Treatments: Skin rejuvenation, acne treatment, pigmentation treatment, vascular treatment.
Duration of Treatment: between 30 min to 1 hours.
Results: After the 1st session.
Anesthesia: No. If you are very sensitive, you can use numbing cream 30 minutes before the treatment.
