Region-Specific TreatmentsHair mesotherapy is a non-surgical medical aesthetic treatment that provides follicular bio-activation by delivering a specially prepared meso-cocktail containing 5+ peptides (Kapikuwa biomimetic peptides), vitamins (biotin, B complex, dexpanthenol), minerals (zinc, copper, magnesium) and amino acids through micro-injection into the dermal/subdermal zone around the hair roots at a depth of 1.5-3 mm, in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (L64) and telogen effluvium (L65.0).
Region-Specific TreatmentsHand rejuvenation is a procedure to treat thin skin, tortuous veins, sun damage pigmentation (lentigines) and volume loss of the dorsum manus (back of the hand) with a combination of HA filler, Radiesse biostimulation, laser (IPL/Q-switched NdYag) and topical retinol.
Recovery & Side EffectsHematoma is a palpable three-dimensional mass lesion that occurs when blood accumulates in a closed cavity in the subcutaneous or deeper tissues as a result of traumatic or iatrogenic damage to the vessel wall; It is a healing condition that goes through organized clot-fibrous capsule phases and is distinguished from ecchymosis after filler injection, threadlift and surgical interventions in aesthetic procedures.
Devices & TechnologiesHIFU is a category of devices that delivers focused ultrasound energy to tissue depths defined by the exact system and cartridge; aesthetic candidacy, expected response, and regulatory status must be assessed through the specific model, intended use, and an in-person examination rather than through the technology name alone.
Active IngredientsMoisturizer is a topical product that reduces the skin's trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and supports the skin barrier; It is a daily skin care product that should be selected and applied according to skin type, in lotion/cream/balm/ointment format, divided into three basic component categories: occlusive (prevent water loss), humectant (absorb water) and emollient (soften).
Active IngredientsHyaluronic acid (HA), the active ingredient used in dermal fillers, is a high molecular weight glucosaminoglycan polymer composed of β-1,4-D-glucuronic acid and β-1,3-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine repeating disaccharide, occurring naturally in the body; It is the most commonly used filler in facial filler in aesthetic injections, increasing skin hydration and volumetricity.
Active IngredientsHyaluronic acid cross-linking is the manufacturing process that chemically links HA chains together, altering gel durability and physical properties.
Active IngredientsHyaluronidase is an enzyme that depolymerizes the hyaluronic acid (HA) polymer and converts it into disaccharides and monomers; It is a pharmaceutical/medical application usually offered in animal origin or recombinant form, used to urgently reverse the undesirable results of HA fillers (overfilling, Tyndall effect, vascular occlusion, asymmetry, nodules) in aesthetic injections.
Recovery & Side EffectsHyaluronidase injection is an enzyme injection procedure to reverse the undesirable complications of HA fillers (Tyndall effect, nodule, vascular occlusion, overfilling, misplacement, asymmetry); It includes the combination of indication, dosing algorithm, technical protocol, pre-procedural testing and multi-modal treatment for successful reversal.
Recovery & Side EffectsA hypertrophic scar is a raised scar formed by excess collagen during wound healing that may be red and itchy but stays within the original wound border; it differs from a keloid, which spreads beyond the border and does not regress on its own.
