Aesthetic Medicine
We live in a world where others judge us and make assumptions about who we are based largely upon our appearance. This is true in the virtual world through the various social media platforms we use. And it’s very much the case in our day to day physical lives. Put simply: our physical appearance can have a major influence on how we feel about ourselves and our self confidence. Equally, how others perceive how we look can be the difference between success and failure both in business and in matters of love.
While there is no fountain of youth we can call upon, lifestyle choices and technological advancements offer us the opportunity to slow down, cheat or seemingly reverse the signs of aging, injury or conditions so that we can look and feel younger and more attractive. An aesthetic medicine clinic offers procedures that can drastically improve how we look and feel. And, when it comes to face procedures, there are lots of opportunities available to anyone who is looking at aesthetic medicine abroad.

The focus of facial cosmetic surgery is to improve a patient’s facial appearance. There are numerous different procedures and treatments available to do just this, depending upon the specific needs of the individual, which include surgical and non surgical face procedures.
Latvian aesthetic medicine centers offer a great number of treatments ranging from procedures for the smoothness and health of facial skin to the correction of dark circles under the eyes. Let’s take a look at all the different types of procedures that are available…
Not everyone who wants to improve the appearance of their face is willing to undergo surgery so, naturally, this type of procedure will appeal to those people. Ulthera is a revolutionary aesthetic medicine technology that provides ultrasound skin tightening without surgery. Furthermore, Latvia is the only place in the Baltic states where such a procedure is certified and available.
The Ultherapy procedure uses ultrasound rejuvenation, which no other HIFU manufacturer has been able to replicate anywhere else in the world. We could legitimately say that ultherapy is the gold standard of HIFU. Using high-intensity focused ultrasound, the device enables medical technicians to reach those layers of the skin that previously only a surgeon could access. Working at the SMAS level (the lower muscle aponeurotic layer), a dermatologist strengthens the skin framework with the help of ultrasound waves. This leads to visible rejuvenation.
With age, the aponeurotic layer of the muscles stretches, its supporting properties weaken, and as a result the facial tissue slips, wrinkles appear, and the shape of the face changes in ways most of us don’t appreciate.
Plastic surgeons work at this SMAS level during reconstructive surgery. The fantastic news is that today, modern technology allows us to reach the SMAS level without surgery. What this means is that it is now possible to provide a tightening of the “facial framework” without having to resort to invasive surgical intervention. Patients can start to see results immediately after surgery while the full benefits become apparent in 2-3 months as new collagen begins to tighten the skin.
This list is not exhaustive but patients with the following aesthetic issues can expect improvements:
A doctor’s consultation is €50. Treatments range from 420 euro for part of the face, up to 1500-2100 euro for the whole face.

As an alternative to plastic surgery, scars can be treated with laser technology. Fractional laser light reaches the deepest layers of the skin, rejuvenating them, and activates collagen production, firming the skin and providing a lifting effect. The SmartPICO laser is the first in the Baltics and is effective in dealing with skin pigmentation defects, including hyperpigmentation, age spots, sun damage, melasma, acne and inflammatory pigmentation.
