Botulinum toxin injections are among the most common treatments in aesthetic medicine. Their main aim is to reduce expression lines such as forehead wrinkles, crow's feet around the eyes and frown lines between the eyebrows. The procedure involves injecting the toxin into the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, causing them to relax temporarily. Results are visible after just a few days and generally last between 3 and 6 months. This treatment is appreciated for its rapid action and natural effects when carried out correctly.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in our bodies that can be used to fill in wrinkles and restore facial volumes that change with age. Injections can be used to treat various areas such as the nasolabial folds and bitterness creases, or to increase the volume of the lips and cheekbones. This treatment has the advantage of being reversible, and the product used is biodegradable. Results are immediate and can last up to 18 months, depending on the density of the product used, the indication and the patient's metabolism. 

Laser technology plays an important role in aesthetic medicine for treating various skin problems such as pigmentation spots, sagging skin and tattoo removal. Different types of laser are used depending on the indication to be treated.

  • Fractional lasers for skin rejuvenation.
  • Vascular lasers for the treatment of spider veins and redness.
  • Pigment lasers for tattoos and brown spots.

The results are often spectacular.
Several sessions are required.

Surgical facelifts used to be a popular option for patients seeking visible and lasting facial rejuvenation. Now, thanks to advances in aesthetic medicine, it is possible to obtain a facelift effect without resorting to cosmetic surgery. This is made possible by injections of Sculptra and hyaluronic acid (the MD Codes technique invented by Brazilian surgeon Mauricio de Maio).

Tensor threads for a non-invasive facelift

Tensor threads are another non-surgical alternative to the traditional facelift.
These absorbable threads are inserted under the skin to create tension, reshaping the oval of the face and stimulating the natural production of collagen. This technique is ideal for patients looking for a lifting effect without the need for major surgery, and with a much shorter recovery period.
Dr Romano is not really in favour of this technique, which has uncertain results.

Radiofrequency for body contouring and skin rejuvenation

Radiofrequency uses electromagnetic waves to heat skin tissue deeply without damaging the skin's surface. This method stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to firm sagging skin on the face, neck and body. Highly prized for its effectiveness, this technique requires several sessions for optimal, long-lasting results.
