Alumier MD: The New Smart Peel For Natural And Regenerated Beauty

Reading time: 4 minutes By Dr. Alice Magri, Specialist in Maxillofacial Surgery at Image Regenerative Clinic In recent years, the concept of beauty has evolved. More and more people are seeking visible yet natural results, effective treatments that respect the skin, smart and non-invasive solutions. This is the foundation of our philosophy: enhancing authentic beauty through personalized, regenerative, and integrated programs. And today, I want to tell you about an innovation that perfectly reflects this approach: the professional peeling by Alumier MD. What is Alumier MD and why I recommend it Alumier MD is much more than a simple peel. It’s a scientifically formulated treatment that combines high-performance active ingredients with a tailor-made skincare philosophy. Each peel is customized based on the patient’s skin type, sensitivity, and aesthetic goals, making it the ideal component of a complete regenerative journey. Unlike traditional peels, Alumier MD doesn’t attack the skin but guides it through a controlled process of exfoliation and cellular renewal. The skin appears firmer, brighter, and more even. And that’s the key: visible yet never artificial results. A synergistic treatment with advanced technologies and injectables One of the aspects we most appreciate about Alumier MD is its perfect compatibility with other advanced aesthetic treatments. In our clinical practice, we like to work in a multi-focus way, combining different technologies in synergistic sessions, always respecting the physiology and harmony of the face. Here are some combinations we often recommend to our patients: Fractional radiofrequency with microneedles: enhances skin firmness and structure by stimulating deep collagen production. When combined with Alumier MD peeling, you get a dual effect: surface renewal and deep tissue regeneration. Fractional CO₂ laser: ideal for scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Pre-treating the skin with Alumier enhances responsiveness, reduces downtime, and optimizes final results. Injectable treatments (biostimulators, skinboosters, soft fillers): while Alumier MD’s active ingredients even out tone and refine texture, injectables restore targeted volume and hydration, always maintaining a natural look. This type of combined, gentle, and targeted approach defines our philosophy: achieving visible but never excessive results. The natural look is not a compromise, but an ambitious goal that requires expertise, a holistic vision, and the smart use of cutting-edge technologies. Summer? The best time to prepare... for autumn Many people believe aesthetic treatments should be paused during summer. We, instead, believe that summer preparation is the perfect springboard to enter autumn with stronger, more receptive, and balanced skin. A light protocol with modulated peels like Alumier MD, paired with biostimulating and non-photosensitizing treatments, allows skin to remain active and healthy even in the warmer months, avoiding the "forced pause" effects that often lead to skin deterioration. It’s a smart approach: starting in summer with gentle, progressive treatments means you can intensify in autumn with lasers, radiofrequencies, and more energizing protocols, on skin that’s already regenerated, firm, and ready to respond better. In this way, results are multiplied and consolidated over time. A beauty built around you The Alumier MD peel fits perfectly into personalized skin regeneration programs. It’s ideal: as a preparatory step for medical or laser treatments as maintenance for those already on a regenerative protocol as a targeted solution to improve tone, pigmentation, fine lines, texture, and radiance Each program is tailor-made, assessing not only skin condition but also lifestyle, habits, and personal goals. Healthy skin is skin that regenerates The Alumier MD peel is not just an aesthetic treatment. It’s a choice for prevention and wellness, a conscious gesture to care for your skin over time by stimulating cell turnover, fighting oxidative damage, and boosting collagen production. Choosing a protocol that integrates peeling + technologies + soft injectables means enhancing your skin from multiple angles—in a respectful, modern, and scientifically grounded way. And above all, it means choosing a beauty that evolves with you, authentically. If you too want to rediscover healthier, firmer, and more radiant skin—without altering your natural beauty—come visit us at the clinic. Together, we’ll build your personalized program.

Can you safely enjoy the sun? Yes—if you protect your skin first.

With summer just around the corner, taking care of your skin isn’t just a matter of aesthetics—it’s a matter of health. Discover how to prevent skin cancer with innovative treatments like ALA Photodynamic Therapy and Kleresca® photobiomodulation, available at Image. Protecting your skin, all year long especially in summer. Why skin cancer prevention matters as the warmer season approaches In a world where beauty and wellbeing are increasingly intertwined, Image Regenerative Clinic stands out as a trusted destination not only for aesthetics, but for skin health too. Our integrated approach combining aesthetic medicine, dermatology, and surgery allows us to provide patients with highly specialized, comprehensive, and personalized care. Medicine beyond beauty. As spring arrives and sun exposure increases, it’s important to shine a light on a crucial topic for skin health: the prevention of skin cancer. Among the most common types are basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma—forms of skin cancer that, while often less aggressive than melanoma, should never be underestimated. The first step in prevention is awareness Non-melanoma skin cancers mainly affect photo-exposed areas—face, ears, neck, hands—and are more likely to develop in individuals with fair skin or a history of intense and prolonged sun exposure. That’s why prevention must begin before summer, with proper education and responsible behavior. The dermatological check-up: a simple act that makes all the difference Primary prevention is the most powerful ally in protecting your skin. Regular dermatology visits —especially in the presence of suspicious lesions, moles that change in shape, color or size, or small persistent scabs—are the most effective tool for early diagnosis. At Image Regenerative Clinic, prevention is a core part of a multidisciplinary approach to both skin health and beauty. Our specialists perform detailed mole mapping and targeted check-ups, even during times of year when the risks of sun exposure tend to be underestimated. Treatments: from non-invasive to surgical In the case of a skin cancer diagnosis, early treatment is key. At Image, a variety of therapeutic options are available—tailored to each patient and depending on the location and nature of the lesion. Among the non-invasive treatments , highlights include: ALA Photodynamic Therapy (aminolevulinic acid): a targeted and conservative treatment that uses a photosensitizing agent activated by a specific light source to selectively destroy abnormal cells. It is particularly effective for superficial or actinic lesions and helps prevent progression to more aggressive forms. Kleresca® Photobiomodulation, an innovative technology that stimulates the skin’s natural repair processes through clinically tested fluorescent light. It offers both preventive and regenerative benefits and can be used as part of a maintenance protocol—even following photodynamic therapy. When necessary, dermatologic surgery can be performed using refined techniques designed to achieve the best oncological and aesthetic outcome—especially important for tumors located in visible areas such as the face. Sun exposure with awareness Using sunscreen, wearing hats and sunglasses, avoiding sun exposure during peak hours—these are small everyday habits that can significantly contribute to prevention. But it’s only through a culture of continuous and conscious care that we can truly protect our skin. With summer on the horizon, choose to take care of yourself. Book your skin cancer prevention check-up at Image and consult with our specialists about a personalized protocol —which may include ALA Photodynamic Therapy and Kleresca® Photobiomodulation .

NAD and Longevity, The New Frontier of Conscious Wellness

NAD and Longevity, The New Frontier of Conscious Wellness

In-depth article by Dr. Fabrizio David , regenerative medicine specialist at Image Regenerative Clinic. Supporting NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) levels through targeted IV therapies is now considered one of the most promising strategies in the field of longevity. This isn’t a passing trend, but a clinical approach backed by growing scientific evidence, capable of enhancing cellular energy, mitochondrial function, DNA repair, and oxidative stress response—key processes in slowing biological aging. Like any truly effective therapy, NAD requires careful medical assessment, personalized protocols, and a structured clinical setting to ensure real, safe, and lasting results. Not a Miracle Cure, But a Powerful Tool NAD is not an over-the-counter supplement or a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a vital molecule for cellular metabolism that naturally declines with age and in the presence of chronic conditions. Restoring or supplementing its levels can translate into increased vitality, improved stress management, faster recovery, and enhanced cognitive and physical performance. But timing, dosage, and method of administration are crucial—and must always be determined under expert medical guidance. At Image Regenerative Clinic, every treatment begins with a comprehensive analysis of the patient’s metabolic and inflammatory status, including: Complete hematochemical and metabolic panel; Evaluation of key micronutrients involved in NAD synthesis (vitamin B3, B12, folic acid, vitamin D, zinc); Markers of oxidative stress and inflammation; Indicators of mitochondrial function; Only through this detailed workup can we determine whether NAD IV therapy is appropriate and set up a protocol that is truly effective. NAD IV Therapy and an Integrated Approach When indicated, intravenous NAD therapy allows for rapid and direct absorption, with noticeable effects often after just a few sessions. Depending on individual needs, it may be combined with custom infusions of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants, all tailored to the patient’s specific metabolic profile. This therapeutic strategy is part of a broader, holistic program that may include: Nutritional optimization Targeted physical activity Stress management strategies Continuous long-term monitoring Why Choose a Clinical Setting In a world where everything seems readily available, what makes the difference is the context. NAD IV therapies are not treatments to be improvised. They require medical expertise, structured protocols, and meticulous follow-up. Only in a specialized clinic like Image can patients receive the level of care needed to ensure safety, efficacy, and true personalization. Longevity is about making informed choices—not chasing miracles. Investing in your long-term health means relying on structured, science-based programs guided by clinical insight. When used consciously and under expert supervision, NAD can become an extraordinary ally .

From unhealthy longevity to healthy longevity a guided path not a miracle

Reading time: 5 minutes From unhealthy longevity to healthy longevity: a guided path, not a miracle How new therapeutic tools, lifestyle habits, and medical monitoring can help us live better and longer In recent years, the concept of healthy longevity has taken center stage in medical and societal conversations. It's no longer just about adding years to life: the challenge is to add life to years—by preventing chronic diseases, slowing degenerative processes, and maintaining mental and physical balance. But what can we do when the body begins to slide toward a condition of unhealthy longevity? The answer is not a shortcut, but a multidisciplinary path. That’s exactly the premise behind the Weight Loss Body Program developed by Image Regenerative Clinic —a structured approach to regaining health and vitality through a personalized, integrated program under strict medical supervision. Healthy longevity: a daily construction As explained in the “Code of Healthy Longevity” , aging can be modulated. Proper nutrition, physical activity—especially strength training—restorative sleep, stress management, and targeted supplementation (vitamin D, Omega-3s) are essential to slow the inflammatory processes that underlie many chronic and degenerative diseases. A study published in Nature Aging showed that combining vitamin D, Omega-3s, and physical exercise can slow biological aging, even influencing epigenetic markers ( Nutrienti e Supplementi, 2023 ). Similarly, Omega-3 supplementation has proven useful in preventing autoimmune diseases and low-grade silent inflammation ( Nutrienti e Supplementi, 2022 ). When lifestyle is not enough: the role of new molecules In some cases, despite best efforts, the body can no longer respond effectively. You enter a grey area marked by excess weight, sleep apnea, muscle loss (sarcopenia), and rising inflammation markers . Here, advanced pharmacological tools—under strict medical supervision—can be helpful. Drugs like semaglutide (Ozempic®) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) , originally developed for type 2 diabetes, have shown revolutionary potential for healthy longevity , thanks to their ability to: Significantly and sustainably reduce body weight Improve insulin sensitivity Regulate appetite and reduce caloric intake Improve inflammation markers Act on multiple target organs (liver, kidneys, central nervous system) According to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine , tirzepatide led to a 22.5% reduction in body weight in people with obesity—greater than the reduction seen with semaglutide ( NEJM, 2022 ). Moreover, an analysis published by Quotidiano Sanità shows that, when used appropriately, these molecules also provide added benefits for cardiovascular, hepatic, and neurodegenerative health , as well as improved sleep quality in people suffering from obstructive sleep apnea ( Quotidiano Sanità, 2024 ). Real limits, avoidable risks These drugs are not miracle pills. Used outside a structured framework, they can lead to rapid weight regain—often at the expense of muscle mass . This is especially risky in older adults, where sarcopenia is one of the key threats to healthy aging. A study published by SIO Obesità emphasizes the importance of combining these therapies with resistance training to preserve muscle tissue and support metabolic health ( SIO Obesità, 2023 ). Image Regenerative Clinic: an integrated protocol for conscious longevity To prevent misuses and risks, Image Regenerative Clinic has developed a personalized Weight Loss Body Program that includes: Comprehensive medical evaluation Tailored nutritional support Targeted physical training (especially strength exercises) Innovative therapies only when needed and always under medical supervision Regular follow-ups to ensure stability, safety, and long-term results The goal is not simply to “lose weight” but to restore health , slow aging , and prevent chronic diseases associated with unhealthy longevity. Each intervention is part of a larger, individualized framework designed for long-term balance and well-being. No miracles, just conscious choices Ozempic® and Mounjaro® are powerful tools, but only become truly effective when integrated into a structured, medically guided journey. Used in isolation, without a complete lifestyle reset, the risk of relapse is high. True healthy longevity does not come from a single drug. It stems from the smart combination of prevention, science, and an integrated vision of health . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2pSXS7ArtY And this is exactly where the real transformation begins.
The real health revolution doesn’t begin when we get sick, but much earlier.
Curiosity

The real health revolution doesn’t begin when we get sick, but much earlier.

Prevention is an individual responsibility, while the State is tasked with managing illness. In today’s context, where healthcare systems are often focused more on managing emergencies than on prevention, it becomes essential to rethink our relationship with health. Each of us has a duty to act early, adopting conscious behaviors and investing in our own longevity. Prevention is not a luxury, but a personal responsibility. The State can and must take care of treating illness, but the foundation of lasting well-being starts with us. Healthy longevity doesn’t mean never getting sick, but rather understanding and anticipating. It’s not about chasing the utopia of a disease-free life, but about shifting the moment when illnesses appear—and most importantly, reducing their impact—through a proactive and personalized approach. Healthy longevity means living longer while maintaining energy, mental clarity, physical functionality, and quality of life. It’s a vision that brings together science, technology, and a culture of wellness. Biomarker analysis is the first step toward a new health paradigm. Thanks to increasingly advanced technologies, it is now possible to perform a detailed analysis of a wide range of biomarkers—biological parameters that reveal the condition of our body and the predisposition to develop certain diseases. This type of early diagnosis enables us to intervene not only promptly, but most of all in a targeted and personalized way. But how can we truly talk about longevity without starting from an initial assessment of our biological state? Without understanding the starting point, any strategy risks being generic, ineffective, and disconnected from the reality of each individual. Biomarkers represent the foundational map on which to build an authentic, personalized, and measurable path to well-being over time. But after the analysis, action is essential: targeted therapies, specialized structures, competent professionals. This is where centers like Image Regenerative Clinic come into play—a leading hub for aesthetic and regenerative medicine focused on longevity. After obtaining a comprehensive overview of health status through biomarker analysis, Image is able to develop personalized therapeutic programs, based on innovative protocols, advanced technologies, and the expertise of highly qualified professionals. These programs are reassessed periodically to adapt to the body’s evolution and ensure lasting results. A dynamic and integrated approach, perfectly aligned with the themes of the Milan Longevity Forum. The Milan Longevity Summit , currently taking place in Milan, highlights these very concepts: the importance of personalized prevention, the integration of science and wellness, and the need to create health ecosystems. Image Regenerative Clinic fits perfectly within this vision, offering a concrete and operational model to translate longevity theories into real, accessible, and personalized therapeutic strategies.

Botox, the Springtime of Your Skin: Freshness, Radiance, and Harmony

Botox, the Springtime of Your Skin: Freshness, Radiance, and Harmony

There is a special energy that comes with this time of the year: spring. The first rays of sunshine warm the skin, the air is filled with the scent of renewal and lightness, and as nature awakens, we naturally feel the desire for freshness, radiance, and vitality. It is the season when we long to refresh ourselves, to shed the signs of winter fatigue, and to rediscover a more relaxed and serene face. And this is precisely the ideal time for a treatment that naturally revitalizes and enhances facial harmony: Botox. Springtime for Your Face: Why Is Botox the Perfect Treatment for This Season? Just as spring is the season of renewal, Botox is the treatment that allows the face to blossom, freeing itself from tension and the tired expressions that winter has left behind. After months of cold weather, dull skin, and features marked by stress and fatigue, the desire for lightness translates into the need for a brighter, more refreshed, and youthful appearance. This is where Botox comes into play—it not only smooths expression lines but also restores harmony and energy to the face, reflecting the fresh vitality of spring. Over 6 million people worldwide choose Botox each year, with more than 300,000 procedures annually in Italy alone. It is not just a trend but a conscious choice for those who want to take care of their appearance wisely. Why wait for wrinkles to deepen when they can be prevented naturally? Smoother Skin, a Lighter Mood: Botox Is Also Good for the Mind If spring is the season of positivity, Botox is its perfect ally. Scientific studies show that Botox not only improves aesthetics but also has a direct impact on emotional well-being. By reducing frown lines and tense expressions, the brain receives fewer stress signals. A study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research confirmed that patients treated with Botox in the area between the eyebrows experienced a significant reduction in depressive symptoms, thanks to the facial feedback mechanism. Imagine the feeling of lightness on a spring day, when the sun kisses your skin and the blue sky fills you with good vibes. That’s exactly how Botox works for your face: it removes tension, relaxes expressions, and makes you look as refreshed and at peace as you feel when breathing in the crisp April air. Not Just One Technique: Botox Is an Art, Not Just a Treatment Just as every spring has its own unique shades, Botox can be applied in different ways. It’s not about "freezing" the face but enhancing it naturally. There are customized approaches like Baby Botox , which uses micro-doses for an ultra-natural effect, ideal for those who want to start prevention while maintaining full facial expressiveness. Every face needs a tailored treatment, and only an expert doctor can enhance it with the right balance. The Areas Where Botox Can Awaken Your Beauty Just as spring brings nature to life in every little detail, Botox can be applied in different facial areas to restore harmony and radiance : Spring Means Safety and Lightness: Botox Is Safe, But Experience Matters Just as you trust professionals for the best skincare treatments in spring, Botox should only be entrusted to experienced doctors. Incorrect application can lead to unnatural results, such as asymmetry or stiffness, while a well-executed treatment is only noticeable in the freshness and harmony of the face. Botox is not a one-size-fits-all procedure—it is an art of precision. Only those with deep knowledge of facial anatomy and a refined aesthetic sense can deliver the perfect outcome. An Intelligent Choice for Both Men and Women: Why Wait? Spring is the season of renewal—why not refresh your face as well? Botox is a smart choice for both women and men , as a fresh and relaxed look conveys well-being, confidence, and positivity. More and more professionals are turning to aesthetic medicine to improve their appearance in a discreet and refined way. Conclusion: Let Go of the Myths and Let Your Face Blossom Spring teaches us that beauty is a balance between freshness and harmony. When performed by skilled hands, Botox does not alter your features but enhances your natural expressions, making you look younger, more radiant, and relaxed. If you’ve had doubts or hesitations until now, ask yourself: how important is it for you to look as vibrant as you feel inside? Now you have two choices: keep waiting, or give your skin the freshness and glow it deserves. What will you choose? 🌸

Body Positivity Or Health? The Body Weight And Longevity

Body Positivity Or Health? The Body Weight And Longevity

The debate between acceptance and health In recent years, the concept of Body Positivity has gained popularity, promoting acceptance of all bodies and countering weight-related stigma. It's a positive principle that has helped valorize diversity and combat discrimination. However, in some cases, the evolution of this movement has led to an extreme view, where any discussion about health related to weight is perceived as an attack on individual freedom. This leads us to reflect on the importance of a balanced approach, where respect for oneself and others combines with awareness of health risks. It is therefore fundamental to distinguish between acceptance and well-being, understanding how body weight influences our overall health. Health cannot be sacrificed in the name of inclusivity. Obesity is not just an aesthetic issue, but a concrete risk factor for longevity and quality of life. Several studies have shown that being overweight increases the risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, and some types of cancer. The New England Journal of Medicine has highlighted that obesity can reduce life expectancy by up to ten years, depending on the severity of the case. These data help us understand how essential it is to address the issue of weight with a perspective based on science and long-term well-being, rather than on superficial judgments or radical ideologies. The role of science in weight management Within this complex discussion lies the Body Positivity movement, born with the intent to promote self-acceptance, fight discrimination, and value the diversity of bodies. However, in recent years, it has become radicalized to the point of challenging anyone who talks about weight loss, spreading the idea that promoting a healthy lifestyle equates to "fatphobia." This attitude risks dissuading people from making informed decisions for their health, leaving them trapped in conditions that compromise their quality of life. Accepting one's body doesn't mean ignoring the risks associated with obesity: true awareness comes from balance, that is, appreciating oneself without neglecting the impact that body weight has on metabolism, internal organs, and the ability to maintain optimal energy over time. Faced with this complexity, scientific research has developed solutions for weight control, aimed at improving quality of life without falling into extremism. Innovation has led to the creation of drugs such as Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), which have demonstrated their ability to promote weight loss in a safe and sustainable way, improving vital parameters such as blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure. These solutions open new perspectives for those struggling with overweight and obesity, but they are not exempt from criticism. Some commentators have contested them, arguing that they contribute to reinforcing the stigma of obesity. However, it is essential to understand that these treatments are not an aesthetic solution, but medical tools that can significantly improve the health of those suffering from pathological obesity. The importance of a balanced approach Looking at the longest-lived societies in the world, we discover an interesting fact: weight management should not be seen as an imposition, but as an opportunity to live better and longer. Research on longevity shows that the populations of Blue Zones share a common aspect: maintaining a balanced body weight through healthy eating and constant physical activity. The benefits of an optimal BMI include better blood glucose control and diabetes prevention, reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, lower levels of inflammation and oxidative stress, and increased vitality and quality of life. The discussion on weight and health cannot be reduced to an ideological clash between "skinny versus fat." The real goal must be well-being, based on informed choices supported by science. It's not about adhering to aesthetic standards imposed by society, but about living longer and better. Instead of fueling sterile debates, we should focus on what truly matters: a healthy, active life full of energy. At Image Regenerative Clinic, we adopt a scientific and personalized approach to help our patients achieve their maximum potential for well-being and longevity. We are ready to support you on this journey with advanced medical solutions and personalized strategies for your well-being.
Lipogems: The Regenerative Medicine Revolution for Female Intimate Health

Lipogems: The Regenerative Medicine Revolution for Female Intimate Health

50 and 60 years? They're the new 40! Today, women in their 50s and 60s live with energy and awareness, dedicated to their wellbeing and eager to take care of themselves. However, menopause brings physiological changes that can affect quality of life, including vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, urinary discomfort, and recurring inflammation. These symptoms are often neglected or considered inevitable, but science proves otherwise. Research conducted for Image Regenerative Clinic has highlighted how vaginal discomfort is perceived as a real but rarely discussed problem. Due to modesty or embarrassment, many women avoid discussing it, even with their partner, and seek solutions only when symptoms become limiting. It's time to change this approach and consider intimate health as an integral part of overall wellbeing. Lipogems: The Natural Solution for Intimate Wellness A study published in European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences by Doctors Casarotti and Tremolada demonstrated the efficacy of Lipogems, an innovative treatment that harnesses the regenerative power of adipose tissue to improve vaginal mucosa hydration and elasticity. How Does Lipogems Work? Lipogems is a regenerative medicine treatment utilizing autologous adipose tissue to stimulate cellular renewal. The process begins with harvesting a small amount of fat, which is then purified and microfragmented to obtain a concentrate rich in mesenchymal cells. This preparation is subsequently injected into vaginal tissues, promoting natural and progressive regeneration. Documented benefits include increased elasticity and hydration of vaginal mucosa, enhanced sensitivity and comfort, and reduced dryness and pain during intercourse. Unlike other solutions, Lipogems offers long-term results through its ability to stimulate microcirculation and structural tissue renewal. Lipogems vs. Laser Therapy: The Real Difference Until now, laser therapy has been one of the most common techniques for treating vaginal atrophy, acting through thermal microlesions to stimulate collagen production. Although effective, many patients find it uncomfortable and with time-limited effects. The true difference between the approaches lies in vascular regeneration. While laser therapy is limited to superficial action on already compromised tissues, Lipogems promotes new blood vessel formation, improving microcirculation and ensuring stable, lasting tissue restoration. Prof. Carlo Tremolada's Commentary: "The laser approach creates a stimulating action on tissue that has already lost much of its regenerative capacity. Lipogems, however, works by enhancing microvascularization and tissue elasticity naturally and progressively. This means the improvement isn't just aesthetic or temporary, but structural and lasting. True regeneration." A New Vision for Intimate Health Vaginal health should be considered part of overall wellness, not exclusively linked to sexual function. Lipogems offers a comprehensive solution for intimate wellness, reducing dryness, irritation, and even recurrent cystitis. This scientifically advanced and completely natural approach uses no hormones, doesn't alter physiological balance, and exclusively utilizes the patient's own regenerative capabilities.

Vivace: Radiofrequency with Regenerative Microneedles

A device that combines microneedling and radiofrequency for skin regeneration, wrinkle reduction, texture improvement, and scar revision. By Dr. Fabrizio David, aesthetic physician at Image Regenerative Clinic. Mechanism of Action Vivace is a radiofrequency microneedle system that stimulates neocollagenesis through dermal-epidermal renovation. The device combines controlled microtrauma with precise thermal modulation both at the tip and along the needle. The procedure preserves epidermal and melanocyte integrity, preventing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Clinical Indications The treatment is indicated for superficial and deep wrinkles, skin porosity, and post-acne scarring. It induces immediate tissue tightening with increased tissue tonicity and reduced erythema, with progressive results over time. Therapeutic Protocol Three annual sessions at 45-day intervals are recommended. The treatment is viable in all seasons, including on tanned skin and dark phototypes. The created microchannels facilitate transdermal absorption of active ingredients such as vitamins, polynucleotides, and botulinum toxin, enhancing their therapeutic efficacy.

Mesotherapy: Why Perfect Legs are a Habit

To combat cellulite and significantly reduce orange-peel skin appearance. To improve skin tone through polynucleotides. Or to enhance microcirculation with ozone. Mesotherapy is a multifunctional technique for addressing various coexisting conditions. The optimal time to begin treatment isn't just before summer, but especially after returning from vacation. Insights from Dr. Fabrizio David, aesthetic physician at Image Regenerative Clinic. What is Mesotherapy? Mesotherapy involves injecting therapeutic substances through very fine needles into the treatment area. For legs and body treatments, these substances typically include lipolytic cocktails for localized fat deposits, anti-lipodystrophic agents for cellulite, or polynucleotides to restore elasticity to particularly dehydrated and wrinkled skin. The painless injections are administered at multiple points spaced half a centimeter apart. What conditions does Mesotherapy address? Mesotherapy non-invasively treats and improves common lower limb conditions, including orange-peel skin texture, cellulite, and water retention. When performed as localized oxygen-ozone therapy, it also addresses capillary visibility and microcirculation weakness. Why does Image recommend Mesotherapy? Mesotherapy should be viewed as a year-round maintenance routine rather than just a pre-summer treatment. Perfect legs aren't seasonal: they result from consistent care throughout the year. Post-summer is particularly crucial, when vacation benefits are still visible and maintaining results is easier. If summer indulgences have occurred, it's the ideal time for corrective treatment. Notably, mesotherapy can be combined with other treatments, and results are significantly enhanced within structured protocols. Our Skinny Legs program exemplifies this approach, combining shock wave sessions, targeted mesotherapy for edematous-fibro-sclerotic panniculopathy, and oxygen-ozone therapy.

Image Regenerative Clinic's Impact Treatments for Face and Body to Try Before Summer

From Vogue Italia Article Vogue Italia recently featured an article about Image Regenerative Clinic 's new "Summer Shape" treatments, developed under the direction of Professor Carlo Tremolada , a leader in regenerative medicine. These treatments offer solutions for those looking to feel at one with their body and present their best selves as summer approaches. What is Regenerative Medicine? As Professor Tremolada explains in the article, regenerative medicine isn't an alternative form of medicine, but rather the scientific study of what our bodies can do to preserve and regenerate themselves. The foundations of regenerative medicine are based on understanding how our bodies can spontaneously regenerate and repair damage, whether caused by trauma or simply the passing of time. Award-Winning Facial Treatments Image Regenerative Clinic offers three facial treatments designed to provide luminosity, hydration, firmness, and reduce expression lines, resulting in immediately visible and long-lasting rejuvenation: Hydrafacial MD : A non-invasive hydro-dermo abrasion treatment that uses a gentle vacuum-effect abrasive stylus that is replaced and loaded with different tips and serums during multiple steps. The four-phase treatment includes ACTIVE 4 and BHD that deeply cleanse and purify the skin, followed by ANTIOX-6™ which infuses the skin with a hydration cocktail, and finally the application of the Dermabuilder® serum containing peptides. Capacitive Diathermy : This treatment addresses skin tone and superficial wrinkles by contracting collagen fibers, providing a long-lasting anti-aging result and progressive natural lifting effect. Skinbooster : A customized treatment created specifically for each patient with a balanced mix of vitamins and revitalizing fillers. Body Treatments The facial treatments are complemented by scientifically advanced, innovative body treatments: Capacitive Diathermy : Indicated for localized fat deposits, fibrous and/or edematous cellulite, and loss of tone, especially in cases of rapid weight loss. Applied to difficult-to-treat adipose areas, it reactivates circulation by stimulating internal heat, relaxes sclerotic fibers caused by poor circulation, and makes them more elastic. The end result is smooth skin without an orange-peel appearance and visible firming. Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) : Based on acoustic wave vibrations, this treatment increases basal metabolism, allowing for more fat burning and reducing localized adiposity while maintaining a tonic appearance thanks to muscle toning. CoolSculpting : Image Regenerative Clinic 's patented Cryolipolysis technology that selectively, effectively, and painlessly targets subcutaneous fat deposits by controlling tissue cooling. Together, these face and body treatments form the Summer Shape protocol, designed to regenerate, tone, and add elasticity to the body while preventing collagen loss, ultimately restoring natural beauty and promoting longevity.

Lipogems®: The Regenerative Treatment That Rejuvenates Skin

From Vanity Fair Italy Article Vanity Fair Italy recently published an in-depth look at Lipogems® , presenting it as the most effective method for skin reverse aging. This treatment, developed by Dr. Carlo Tremolada , represents one of the most advanced solutions in the field of aesthetic regenerative medicine. What is Lipogems® Lipogems® is a patented methodology approved by the FDA that leverages the principles of regenerative medicine. Initially developed to accelerate healing processes and recovery from sports injuries (also used by skier Sofia Goggia), it finds application in orthopedics for problems such as arthritis and tendonitis, and more recently in aesthetics for skin rejuvenation. The treatment is based on the body's self-healing principle, using the person's own adipose cells, particularly rich in stem cells, to activate regeneration in tissues where biological functions have slowed down. The Scientific Principle According to Dr. Tremolada , Lipogems® involves the grafting of active adult mesenchymal stem cells taken from the patient's fat. These cells, fundamental in the body's repair processes, are extracted through a patented device that reduces the size of adipose tissue without destroying its structure. The processed adipose tissue is rich in microvessels and pericytes (precursors of mesenchymal stem cells), which are then injected into areas where tissue regeneration needs to be reactivated. The Treatment Process The process begins with the extraction of adipose tissue that is processed with a specific device. This tissue, initially shaped like a "ripe raspberry," is progressively reduced through sharp filters that act as a sieve. The reduction occurs with the emission of high pressure, without air, protecting the tissue and keeping its biological information intact. Inside the device, beads create a water-oil emulsion that is then eliminated, removing all inflammatory factors and leaving the adipose cells biologically activated. The resulting material is then injected where needed, allowing the pericytes to detach and establish themselves in the tissue, becoming active mesenchymal stem cells. Anti-Aging Effects In the aesthetic context, Lipogems® works by enhancing microcirculation, counteracting one of the main causes of skin aging. Once grafted, pericytes transform into mesenchymal stem cells that act as "Medicinal Signaling Cells," secreting substances that stimulate the body's self-repair. These signals regulate the immune system, reduce chronic inflammation, and stimulate other cells to regenerate tissues. The immediate effect is visibly improved skin, thanks to the immunomodulatory action that reduces inflammation. Complete results manifest over nine months. Practical Applications Lipogems® can be a partial alternative to surgical lifting, as it improves skin elasticity. However, for significant age-related sagging, it might need to be combined with traditional cosmetic surgery, with the advantage of healthier tissues and faster recovery. The treatment is suitable for all ages, even as prevention, and has no contraindications for conditions such as vitiligo or psoriasis. It can be performed even in summer or sunny environments, as it increases the skin's resistance to the sun. Although a single treatment may be sufficient for life, many patients prefer to repeat it after about four years to maintain optimal results. Source: Vanity Fair Italia, 21. August 2024

Beyond Biohacking: The New Frontiers of Longevity

From Harpers Bazaar Italy Article Harpers Bazaar Italy recently published an article exploring how today's wellness and beauty treatments are looking further ahead, toward a horizon where "well aging" is increasingly tech-driven. The article examines the evolution of biohacking from science fiction concept to mainstream practice, embraced by celebrities and cutting-edge facilities alike. The Evolution of Biohacking in Beauty and Wellness Though only recently popularized, biohacking was already present in the early 2000s in discussions among biologists and hackers who made experimentation their profession. These pioneers laid the foundations for a movement where biology, technology, and science combine to improve human body and mind through practices ranging from genetic modifications to simple lifestyle changes. In beauty and wellness, the most widespread biohacking methods include specialized nutrition and supplements, thermotherapy sessions (like cold plunges and infrared sauna blankets), DNA-personalized skincare treatments for targeted cellular repair, devices that monitor circadian rhythms, and customized nutrition and training plans based on genetic and biometric analyses. Recent industry evolutions focus on exosomes in professional aesthetic practices, biostimulating treatments using microwaves and ultrasound, fillers enriched with biorevitalizing substances, and advanced liposuction and lipofiller procedures. From a wellness perspective, the latest biohacking frontiers emphasize the revitalizing power of massages and bioenergetic treatments.
