Acne usually appears in adolescence but its consequences can be lifelong. For each type of acne there is a specific treatment. For comedones (black or white heads) and milia cysts, we perform removals and drainages followed by superficial or medium deep peelings. Depending on the scars (depressed, atrophic), it is possible to do a subsicion procedure (with the needle’s blade introduced under the scar, the collagen bundles which pull it downwards are cut). This ambulatory procedure stimulates the production of collagen which also increases with the addition of hyaluronic acid (Restylane, Belotero, Art filler, Princess). In some special cases, surgical lasers such as Erbium or CO2 are recommended.
Mesotherapy is performed by means of superficial microinjections to prevent face aging, improve wrinkles and flaccidity and to get some global revitalization of the skin.
