Aesthetic Medicine
WHAT IS AESTHETIC MEDICINE?
Aesthetic Medicine is the medical specialty dedicated to improving physical appearance through the use of minimally or non-invasive practices.
The main difference between Aesthetic Medicine and Plastic or Aesthetic Surgery is that the latter uses more complex techniques that require general anesthesia and surgery with hospital admission.
In the case of Aesthetic Medicine, no type of anesthesia is usually used, although there are some specific cases that may require local anesthesia. In any case, hospital recovery is not necessary.
At Clínica Eupnea Palamós, our Aesthetic Medicine specialty is focused on:
- Correcting facial or body imperfections.
- Reducing fat with state-of-the-art techniques such as laser and Hifu. Additionally, in specific cases, our Aesthetic Medicine team will work together with other specialists at our clinic to ensure a healthy diet and exercise level.
- Reducing facial expression lines.

What is aesthetic medicine and what does it treat?
- Aesthetic medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on improving physical appearance through non-surgical treatments. It addresses issues such as wrinkles, sagging skin, scars, cellulite, and skin blemishes.
What are the most common treatments in aesthetic medicine?
- The most common treatments include dermal fillers, botulinum toxin (Botox), chemical peels, mesotherapy, laser treatments, microdermabrasion, and intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy.
What is botulinum toxin and how does it work?
- Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, is a protein that is injected into facial muscles to reduce wrinkles and lines of expression. It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contraction, thus relaxing the muscles.
What are the benefits of dermal fillers?
- Dermal fillers are injectables used to restore lost facial volume, smooth wrinkles and folds, enhance facial contours, and augment lips. They provide immediate results and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
What is a chemical peel and what is it used for?
- A chemical peel is a treatment that applies a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers. It is used to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, treat age spots, acne, and superficial scars.
How does mesotherapy work and what are its benefits?
- Mesotherapy involves the injection of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts into the skin to rejuvenate it, as well as to remove excess fat and cellulite. It improves skin quality, promotes collagen production, and can help in body contouring.
What should I consider before undergoing an aesthetic medicine treatment?
- Before undergoing an aesthetic medicine treatment, it’s important to research the procedure, consult with a specialized doctor, understand the risks and benefits, and ensure you have realistic expectations about the results. Also, verify that the clinic and staff are properly qualified and certified.
