Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting both teenagers and adults. It can manifest in different forms: open or closed comedones (blackheads or whiteheads), papules, pustules, painful nodules or cysts. Beyond appearance, acne can have a significant emotional impact and leave lasting scars if not adequately treated.

The causes of acne are multiple: hormonal fluctuations, stress, genetic or environmental factors, or the use of unsuitable products. Our doctors thoroughly assess each patient’s condition to offer a tailor-made treatment plan.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that flares and mainly affects the central area of the face. It manifests as persistent redness, small visible blood vessels (telangiectasia), increased skin sensitivity, as well as papules or pustules resembling acne.

Our doctors conduct a complete evaluation to identify causes and aggravating factors. The treatment plan may include topical or oral medical care, gentle home care to protect the skin barrier, and technologies such as vascular laser to reduce the appearance of redness and dilated vessels. Early management often limits disease progression and improves daily comfort.

Scars left by moderate to severe acne can persist long after lesions disappear. They appear in several forms: atrophic (depressed) scars, pigmented scars, or hypertrophic/keloid scars (raised). In addition to affecting the skin’s appearance, these marks can influence self-perception.

To visibly improve skin texture and tone uniformity, our doctors combine different approaches depending on the type of scars: non-ablative fractional laser, microneedling, targeted topical care, or medical peels. Each protocol is personalized based on skin phototype, scar depth, and patient aesthetic goals.

Scars resulting from surgeries, injuries, burns or skin procedures can become a source of aesthetic or physical discomfort. Depending on their appearance — flat, depressed, hypertrophic or pigmented — different strategies can be implemented.

Doctors first assess the age, location, and nature of the scar. The treatment plan may include lasers, topical medical care, or localized injections. In some cases, a combination of treatments is proposed to achieve visible improvement while respecting the surrounding skin’s integrity.

Hyperpigmentation is a localized overproduction of melanin, the skin’s natural pigment. It can appear as sun spots (lentigos), melasma (hormonal spots), or post-inflammatory marks after injury, acne breakout or aggressive treatment. It affects all phototypes, but some skins are more sensitive to pigment imbalances.

Our doctors conduct a precise analysis of the pigmentation, its cause and the patient’s complexion before any intervention. Treatment options include medical creams, gentle to moderate peels, targeted lasers, or combined protocols. Strict sun protection is always recommended to optimize results and prevent recurrence of spots.

Hair loss — whether diffuse, localized, or progressive — can be caused by hormonal, autoimmune (like alopecia areata), nutritional, drug-related, or stress-related factors. In both women and men, this condition can affect self-confidence and quality of life.

Our doctors take the time to thoroughly assess the scalp condition, medical history, and associated clinical signs to identify the cause. Treatment is then tailored to each situation.

Over time, natural collagen and elastin production decreases, causing skin laxity, especially visible on the cheeks, facial contour and neck. This phenomenon can be accentuated by weight loss, sun exposure, or genetics.

Our doctors offer non-surgical treatments to deeply stimulate tissues, improve tone, and firm contours. This may include radiofrequency, micro-focused ultrasound, regenerative care or volumizing treatments. The approach is personalized to restore facial structure, while maintaining a natural and balanced result.

Wrinkles can appear on the surface or more deeply due to volume loss and skin elasticity. They can also be caused by repeated muscle contractions (e.g., forehead lines, eye contour).

To reduce their appearance, several options are possible: medical topical care, collagen-stimulating treatments, non-invasive technologies (radiofrequency, ultrasound), injectable volumizing agents, or gentle peels. Doctors’ approach is based on a thorough facial structure analysis to target the right rejuvenation levers without overcorrecting.

Dark circles can be caused by various factors: volume loss with age, visible vascularization, melanin buildup, or thinning of the delicate skin around the eyes. This area, particularly sensitive, can quickly reflect fatigue or stress, even in healthy individuals.

Medical evaluation determines the origin of the dark circles — pigmentation, hollows, congestion or a combination of causes — to choose the most suitable solutions. These may include hyaluronic acid injections to restore volume, medical brightening care or gentle lasers to reduce pigmented marks. The goal is to brighten the gaze while preserving this fragile area’s delicacy.

Some injections may be used for therapeutic purposes in the management of chronic migraines. This type of treatment is reserved for patients who have received an appropriate medical diagnosis and for whom the frequency and intensity of migraines impair quality of life.

Doctors assess the muscle areas involved in frequent tensions (especially in the forehead, temples, scalp, and neck), then perform precise injections to reduce excessive contraction. While not a curative solution, this approach can significantly reduce attack frequency and improve daily comfort.

Hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, can affect the armpits, palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or other body areas. It may occur without apparent medical cause and represent significant social and professional discomfort.

After evaluation, our doctors propose targeted injections that temporarily block the nerve signals responsible for sweat gland stimulation. This safe, effective, and well-tolerated treatment can offer lasting relief for several months, without disrupting natural thermoregulation functions.

The accumulation of fat under the chin — often called “double chin” — can be linked to genetics, age, or progressive tissue laxity. Even with a healthy lifestyle, this area can remain resistant.

Our doctors offer non-surgical injectable treatments that target fat cells locally. Gradually, the profile is refined, and the chin’s appearance is redefined. Depending on the needs, a combined approach may also be recommended to simultaneously treat firmness or skin texture.

Some people naturally have thin lips, while others notice volume loss over time. Whatever the case, it is possible to give the lips a more balanced and defined look without over-enlarging them.

Our doctors favor a personalized and subtle approach, using injections adapted to facial morphology. The goal is to increase volume, define the contour, or rehydrate the lips while respecting their natural movement and proportion. The desired result: a harmonious mouth in line with the entire face.

Over time or due to certain cosmetic habits, eyelashes can become thinner, shorter or sparse. This decrease can also be accentuated by hormonal factors, local skin disorders, or overly aggressive makeup removal.

Our doctors may recommend a specific medical treatment, prescribed under supervision, designed to prolong the eyelash growth phase. Applied regularly, this care promotes natural growth, improves density and length of lashes, while respecting the sensitivity of the eye area. Medical follow-up is essential to ensure treatment effectiveness and safety.
