23/10/2023

At the Barraquer Ophthalmology Centre, we offer a wide range of treatments to combat wrinkles and address various facial aesthetic concerns. In conjunction with maintaining a healthy lifestyle and using medical cosmetics tailored to individual skin types, aesthetic medicine plays a crucial role in preserving skin quality and reversing the signs of aging.

It is imperative to entrust your care to specialized professionals who utilize premium products and respect the natural dynamics of your face, ensuring seamless integration of treatments and harmony with your facial expressions. We provide a comprehensive selection of treatments designed to target different types of wrinkles, resulting in a rejuvenated appearance that enhances your natural beauty.

Botox

Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, stands as one of the most effective solutions for addressing facial wrinkles, particularly in the upper third of the face. This technique involves injecting the product into the targeted muscle area to inhibit its movement and induce relaxation, resulting in rapid and efficient wrinkle reduction.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a popular dermal filler and one of the most sought-after anti-aging compounds in the beauty industry. It's recommended for treating more pronounced wrinkles by smoothing out skin grooves and contours, while also providing excellent hydration. Unlike botulinum toxin, HA is administered as a dermal filler directly into the wrinkle itself, rather than into the muscle.

Facial Mesotherapy: Revitalizing Cell Renewal

Facial mesotherapy is an anti-aging cell renewal treatment that involves the application of a revitalizing solution to the facial skin using very fine injections. It serves as an effective complement for addressing less pronounced wrinkles, particularly those around the lower eyelid.

Microneedling: Stimulating Collagen Production

Microneedling is a minimally invasive technique that stimulates collagen production through controlled-depth microneedling, strengthening and rejuvenating facial tissues.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is an innovative procedure that utilizes growth factors for potent facial bioregeneration. This autologous treatment is prepared from the patient's blood sample and conducted under optimal conditions in the Barraquer Ophthalmology Centre's laboratory.

Revitalizing peels

Peels are a needle-free biorevitalization treatment that renews the superficial layers of the skin and redensifies the dermis, providing powerful hydration and smoothing the skin. It is indicated for a long list of conditions and as a complement to other treatments, since it also enhances their effect.
