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.

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
Platelet Rich Treatment
The Platelet Rich Treatment, a modern system to rejuvenate with the patient’s own plasma that leads to an acceleration of the production of fibroblasts and collagen. Platelet concentrate contains huge reserves of protein and growth factors that are the fundamental basis for accelerating the skin rejuvenation process. It is placed on the face, neck, décolleté, hands and, if possible, on the hair for hair loss or alopecia and baldness problems
Fibroblast
The treatment uses Plasma technology created through the ionization of atmospheric gases to stimulate and contract the tension in the fibers of the skin and consists of making many arc points; with the plasma, spaced apart, achieving tension in the tissue. This can be done on both face or body. By using plasma, it promotes collagen security and at the same time regenerates the area where it is performed. The treated area will be covered with small scabs that will fall off naturally after approximately five days.
Treatment Duration: Approx. 30 – 60 min.
Results: Seen after 3 – 6 weeks

Follow-up: a week after treatment.
BB Glow
This treatment uses micro-needling which by means of micropunctions reaches the deep layers of the skin, leaving it a shine. Its process consists of treating the skin by cleaning it and exfoliating it in depth and then applying the specific treatment according to the patient’s skin type or what the beautician recommends. To finish it is sealed with a special cream which penetrates deeply thanks to the first steps.

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
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.
