Aesthetic medicine has ceased to be a luxury and has become a health and wellness service available to everyone. More and more people are seeking solutions that not only improve their physical appearance, but also boost their confidence and quality of life. Aware of this need, we have activated our aesthetic medicine service at our medical center, adding to our specialties in plastic, aesthetic, and reconstructive surgery, and diathermy.

Below, we detail each of these treatments, how we diagnose them, what the benefits are for the patient, and why they should choose our medical center to perform them.

Aesthetic Medicine: Beyond Beauty

Aesthetic medicine is much more than a branch focused on external appearance. It is a set of procedures that seek to improve the patient's health, harmony, and overall well-being. It does not require complex surgical interventions, but is based on medical science and a professional diagnosis that guarantees safe and effective results.

At our medical center, we offer three main areas of aesthetic medicine treatments:

Diagnosis and preliminary evaluation

Before undergoing any of these aesthetic medicine treatments, it is essential to undergo a personalized medical evaluation. At our center, the diagnostic process includes the following steps:

1. Clinical history and initial interview: collection of personal information, medical history, aesthetic expectations, medications currently being taken, allergies, lifestyle habits.
2. Physical examination: examination of the face, neck, chest, or the area of ??the body to be treated; evaluation of the condition of the skin, sagging, wrinkles, volume, texture, scars, labial or lobular volume (in the case of lobuloplasty), status of the piercing, if present, etc.
3. Digital photography and image analysis: taking images using a clinical camera to document the initial situation and monitor the results.
4. Personalized treatment proposal: Based on the findings, a treatment plan is developed that explains the objectives, the estimated number of sessions, expected results, pre- and post-treatment care, and possible risks and contraindications.
5. Informed consent: The patient receives written information about the procedure, its benefits, possible side effects, and necessary maintenance; they sign the consent form before starting treatment.
6. Follow-up: Once treatment has begun, follow-ups are scheduled to assess the results, adjust if necessary, and maintain the treatment.

This rigorous approach ensures maximum safety, tailors the treatment to each individual case, and optimizes the results of the aesthetic medicine services we offer.

Advantages of aesthetic medicine

When we talk about aesthetic medicine (Botox, PRP, thread lifts, lip augmentation, mesotherapy, peeling, hyaluronic acid, microneedling, biostimulation, piercing surgery, lobuloplasty) we are talking about procedures that offer a series of advantages over more invasive or surgical treatments:

• Minimally invasive procedures: The vast majority do not require hospitalization, have short recovery times, and allow for a quick return to daily routine.
• Lower risk, less downtime: By not requiring major surgery, morbidity, pain, rest, and associated risk are reduced.
• Visible and adjustable results: Many treatments allow for adjustments according to progress, either through maintenance sessions or a combination of techniques.
• Preventive and aesthetic maintenance approach: Beyond correcting, many treatments (such as Botox, mesotherapy, biostimulation) can be used preventively to slow down aging.
• Improved self-esteem, appearance, and well-being: Feeling good about oneself, seeing brighter skin, more defined contours, more harmonious lips, or firmer body skin can have a positive impact on quality of life.
• Combination of techniques: Aesthetic medicine allows for the synergistic combination of multiple treatments (for example, microneedling + PRP; Botox + hyaluronic acid; thread lifts + body mesotherapy), which expands the possibilities for overall aesthetic improvement.

The value of a personalized diagnosis

One of the aspects that most differentiates us as a medical center is the importance we place on an individualized diagnosis. Before any treatment, we conduct an in-depth medical interview that includes:

• Patient's medical history.
• Physical examination and additional testing if necessary.
• Analysis of aesthetic and health goals.

This process allows us to design a customized treatment plan, ensuring safety and maximizing results. Each person is unique, and that's why personalized diagnosis is the key to our practice.
