Over the years, it is common for facial tissues to lose volume, leading to the appearance of folds and grooves. Today, we have treatments to restore lost volume through the injection of natural fillers, such as hyaluronic acid. These treatments are performed in the clinic and have an almost immediate recovery period. Hyaluronic acid can […]
The treatment for removing expression lines uses an injection technique that relaxes the muscles by blocking neuromuscular transmission. This prevents the muscles responsible for wrinkles between the eyebrows and other facial expression lines from contracting. By relaxing these muscles, wrinkles are softened or even eliminated, especially in the glabella, forehead, and crow’s feet areas. The

The eyelids are a fundamental part of facial expression and attract much attention during social interactions. Commonly known as “bags,” they appear with age and give the impression of premature aging or fatigue, which nowadays can be greatly and safely improved. Eyelid cosmetic surgery has a very natural rejuvenating effect, without causing drastic changes to
Intrastromal rings or segments are inserted into the cornea to regularize its shape, improve visual acuity, and reduce the degree of astigmatism. They are implanted on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia using eye drops.

Corneal cross-linking involves applying vitamin B2 drops (riboflavin) under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis. When exposed to a beam of ultraviolet light, it strengthens the cornea of patients with corneal ectasia (keratoconus). The goal is to prevent corneal deformation and preserve visual acuity.

Recent advances in ophthalmology and the frequency of preventive eye exams have made it possible for many eye conditions not to result in total vision loss. However, some diseases cause vision loss that cannot be restored through surgery, pharmacological treatments, or even conventional glasses. This vision, which may be useful but insufficient, is called low
Photodynamic therapy is a treatment that involves injecting a photosensitizing agent intravenously, which is then activated in the retina by applying light of an appropriate wavelength to the targeted area. Currently, it has become a secondary option compared to anti-angiogenic injections for treating wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is used in certain specific subgroups

Today, pneumatic retinopexy is a rarely used technique and is applied in very few cases. The reliability and effectiveness of retinal detachment repair using posterior vitrectomy techniques, combined or not with scleral surgery, are far superior and have a lower rate of redetachment. Pneumatic retinopexy is a surgical procedure used to correct retinal detachment. This

The Fusion Protocol combines as-needed treatment with a maintenance regimen, so that even when wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) appears inactive, treatment continues to prevent recurrences. In this way, the treatment takes the initiative, not the disease. Unfortunately, waiting for the disease to be controlled with just a few injections and then stopping treatment is
Monovision is a technique in which the dominant eye is corrected for distance vision, and the non-dominant eye is corrected for near vision. This procedure maintains mild myopia in the eye for near vision, allowing good combined vision with both eyes for both distance and near tasks, independent of glasses. This is achieved by calculating
