Aesthetic Medicine
Aesthetic Medicine is a branch of medicine whose objective is to restore, maintain and promote aesthetics, beauty and health, to which end it relies on minor outpatient interventions using topical or local anesthesia. Unlike Aesthetic Surgery, for which most interventions require the patient's hospitalization, Aesthetic Medicine never uses major surgery techniques nor does it require general anesthesia.

Lip augmentation

Cheek augmentation

Fractional Laser
Wrinkle removal and skin resurfacing rejuvenation using a laser is an accurate and effective method that produces long-lasting results. The CO2 laser precisely and uniformly removes the sourface of the skin, layer by layer, making it possible to clearly define and select the desired depth of resurfacing (a tool of vital importance when it comes to treating wrinkles and other skin conditions such as acne scars, crow's feet, etc.). CO2 is the most effective ablative resurfacing method.
Radio frequency combined with mesotherapy
This novel technique re-hydrates the skin and restores the elasticity lost with aging. It involves infiltrating hyalouronic acid in the skin along with a multivitamin complex. With this treatment we quickly and safely obtain deep hydration, producing smoother, brighter skin. Moreover, after several treatments, the method increases the activity of fibroblasts, providing a healthy, fresh and youthful appearance.
Correcting lines and wrinkles
Nasolabial folds and lines beginning at the edge of the lower lip, commonly referred smile or laugh lines tend to appear and intensify on the face. We recommend using bio-compatible products such as hyalouronic acid in order to improve their appearance.
Personalized cosmetics and dermopharmacy

Lanzarote Care Centre offers a wide range of non-surgical treatments for complete and comprehensive rejuvenation, combining simple methods in order to naturally obtain more luminous skin and eliminate wrinkles such as:
- Chemical peeling: A chemical solution is carefully applied to the skin to improve the skin's appearance by removing the damaged outer layers. According to the type of peeling and the way it is applied, the treatment can improve certain imperfections, such as: oily skin, skin blemishes, age spots…
- Botulinum toxin: This natural purified protein relaxes facial muscles. Small doses are injected into wrinkles and facial lines, between the eyebrows for instance, to soften the lines and prevent the appearance of new ones.
In the hands of experts, botulinum toxin infiltration is a safe treatment which has been used for almost 20 years, providing good results and the treatment does not require any allergy test. It is injected in tiny quantities and is not accumulated over the years. Take into account that the effects are always reversible.
- Hyaluronic acid infiltration: Hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide which is naturally present in our body in different tissues such as cartilage as well as the skin. It is characterized by its water retention capacity, a percentage equivalent to thousands of times its weight, which explains its contribution to the moisturizing and smoothness of the skin. It is used in aesthetic dermatology to smoothen expression lines (deep wrinkles, laugh lines), as well as to increase features (lips, cheeks) and remodel soft tissues (ears, nose). It can also be used as mesotherapy improving glow and hydrating skin.
- Skin blemishes diagnosis and treatment
- Thread-lifts (double needle): the alternative to surgical facelift. Depending on the location, the threads are introduced into different areas of the face, causing immediate effect on facial sagging, as well as a sustained effect since new collagen is deposited on these threads that providing greater smoothness to the skin. They are absorbable and their effect lasts up to 2 years after having been introduced into the skin.
- Body aesthetics: reduction of localized fat, hyperhidrosis treatment, treatment of varicose veins.
- Torn ears: Removal of benign “non-aesthetic” skin lesions (fibromas, seborrheic keratosis, benign moles, solar lentigoes…)
- Treatment of leg varicose veins: Study of extension and sclerotherapy
