    Specific Treatments

    Botox relaxes muscles and reduces expression lines (forehead, frown lines, crow's feet). Hyaluronic acid is a filler for volume building (lips, cheeks, wrinkles) and contouring. Both are often combined for optimal results.

    Skin boosters are light hyaluronic acid injections that don't build volume but improve skin quality: moisture, elasticity, and radiance are enhanced. Ideal for "glow" and finer skin texture.

    Profhilo is an innovative bioremodelling product with highly concentrated hyaluronic acid that tightens, hydrates, and stimulates the skin. It distributes naturally under the skin and acts as an anti-aging boost.

    Sculptra® is an injectable collagen stimulator based on poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) that stimulates the body's own collagen production. Results develop gradually over several months and can last up to 2 years.
