PEELINGS - What you need to know.
Chemical peeling is a well-known ancestral technique for treating various skin changes or imperfections. Photoaging, small wrinkles, irregular pigmentation, acne or even stretch marks can be improved and treated with this technique.
Delaying aging, maintaining youthfulness and a healthy appearance are the main reasons why many women (and also many men!) Resort to aesthetic treatments to correct imperfections.
The fact that they do not need an operating theater for them to be performed and do not leave marks, makes the non-invasive treatments associated with aesthetic medicine more and more in demand.
However, experts warn of the need to choose recognized professionals with extensive experience in the area, in order to avoid complications. "Often mistakenly associated with the absence of risk, these procedures involve risks like any technique or intervention and therefore the importance of being carried out by qualified and certified professionals for the purpose", he says.
Chemical peels, which consist of the application of chemical substances on the skin that induce cell renewal, are one of the treatments indicated to treat various skin changes. "Photoaging, pigmented spots, acne scars, skin flaccidity, stretch marks, enlarged pores, fine wrinkles", says the specialist.
In addition to stimulating the growth of new skin, peels improve the texture and appearance of the face. However, “the results vary with the type of peeling. Deep and medium peels can have a longevity of years while the superficial peeling must be renewed several times a year ”.
Likewise, the recovery time depends on the depth of action of the treatment. "But there is always a recovery time, if only because the skin is more sensitive after the chemical action".
What you should know about peels
Does the skin always fall off after a peel?
Not always, and if so it does not mean that the chemical components of the peel have not acted.
Can peeling cause burns on the face?
It can. Poor preparation of the skin to be treated, incorrect choice of product applied (type of chemical formulation, concentration) and poor technique can cause serious problems. It is essential that these treatments are performed by certified and experienced professionals. Only then are security conditions guaranteed.
Do peels only serve to rejuvenate the face?
Peels are an important therapeutic weapon in facial rejuvenation, but they can be a therapeutic tool when there are skin hyperpigmentations and scars.
Can't I sunbathe after having a peel?
No. It is essential to avoid the sun in the first 15 days after a peel, always ensuring the placement of sunscreen factor 50 when sun exposure occurs.
Are peels only suitable for those who have poorly treated skin?
Peels have a very effective preventive action in the aging process and when properly applied, by certified and experienced professionals are great allies for skin health.
Are peels permanent?
No. They should never be so aggressive as to cause permanent results.
Can anyone do a peel?
Currently there are very safe formulations and that is why we can say that yes, anyone can do a peel.
Just a peeling session is enough to achieve results?
A session already allows you to see some results but it is the cumulative work, over the course of a few sessions, that brings us the intended result. As already mentioned, these treatments are temporary and we do not want an aggression that leaves permanent marks so it is safer and more correct to have a gradual and controlled approach.
Does the peeling leave scars?
If it is performed by certified and experienced professionals, no.
Are skin cleansing and peeling the same thing?
They are incomparable.

PRP - Growth factors.
PRP - Growth factors or Platelet-rich plasma.
Platelets are an important reservoir of growth factors in the body and interfere with numerous processes, such as clotting, the immune response or healing.
Within the platelet granules, different growth factors can be found.
“Currently, it is possible to obtain significant concentrations of these factors in the form of a solution that can be used in different clinical settings. The «PRP», or platelet rich plasma, is an autologous platelet concentrate (ie, own) in a small volume of plasma. The clinical effectiveness of this preparation depends essentially on the number of platelets and the concentration of their growth factors ”.
These small molecules act in different processes in the regeneration of tissues and can have different “applications”. They are used, in particular, in the treatment of chronic wounds, scars and hair loss.
“Due to their repairing and regenerating potential, they are an effective therapeutic“ weapon ”in the aging process.
Platelet-rich plasma is produced from the patient's own blood in which it will be used. The basic steps are as follows:
Collection of the patient's blood;
Addition of citrate to prevent clotting before the PRP is prepared;
Centrifugation, once or twice. This process separates the white and red cells from the plasma and platelets. The centrifugation time, speed and number of centrifugations interfere greatly in the final platelet concentration and effectiveness;
Clot activation.
Activation of coagulation is traditionally carried out with thrombin. This activation causes degranulation with the release of growth factors. About 70% of the factors will be released in 10 minutes and almost 100% in 1 hour. Therefore, PRP must be injected shortly after activating the coagulation.
It is important to note that the method used in the production of PRP can significantly influence the results obtained.

Urinary incontinence is a female complaint that increases with age and menopause. According to the latest research, about 17% of women have UI.
Currently there are many treatments with local surgeries, requiring the patient to rest or inserts of tapes. With the use of our Clinic's laser, applications are made on an outpatient basis, without discomfort, without cuts, without bleeding or scarring, with rapid recovery and healthy resumption of sexual activities. The laser procedure has results with 86% patient satisfaction rates according to publications in the “Minimally Invasive Laser Therapy for Stress and Mised Urinary Inconinence in Women” and presented at the World Urogynecology Congress in Dublin (2013). It is a non-ablative (non-burning), fractional laser treatment, which is placed inside the vagina by a special tip and from there a light is emitted that stimulates the wall, improving hydration and also the formation of collagen. Clinical treatment seeks to rehabilitate pelvic structures and has the advantage of a low complication rate and a secondary gain, improving the woman's sexual performance. This way you can treat this problem without resorting to surgery, cuts, hospitalizations and in addition, the procedure can be repeated as many times as necessary.
This procedure is superior to conventional methods, first because it is performed on an outpatient basis without hospitalization. Second, there is no need for anesthesia. Ask for information by phone: 218 452 779
