What aesthetic medicine procedures does Dr. Christelle Santini in Paris perform on the skin?

Botox injections for excessive sweating: what is axillary or palmar hyperhidrosis?

Hyperhidrosis is characterized by excessive sweat secretion. This abnormal secretion of sweat alters the quality of life of people prone to axillary hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the armpits) and/or palmar hyperhidrosis (clammy hands).

This interferes with daily activities, especially in cases of associated bromidrosis (unpleasant body odors), which can have major psychological and social repercussions.

Doctor Santini, a surgeon in Paris, offers 3 treatments to remedy hyperhidrosis and eliminate excessive perspiration:

  • Visit botulinum toxin injections will temporarily block nerve signals to sweat glands in the armpits and hands for around 6 months.
  • Surgical incision in the axilla to remove selected sweat glands.
  • Very superficial liposuction of the axillary hollow to "suck out" sweat glands.

Hyaluronic acid injections

Hyaluronic acid is a natural molecule that forms a gel in all connective tissue.

With age, its production diminishes and volumes deepen: this is the formation of static wrinkles and the hollowing of the oval of the face or volumes (dark circles, temples...).

Dr Santini offers hyaluronic acid injections for three main indications:

  • trophic effect, to nourish the skin and enhance its radiance and performance.
  • filling effect, to remove static wrinkles such as the nasolabial fold, tone the oval of the face or plump up the hands;
  • volumizing effect to create new volumes and reshape both the face(nose reshaping without surgery, chin reshaping, MD Codes...) and the body (buttock injections, intimate reshaping...).

What is hydrafacial?

HydraFacial® is the only hydradermabrasion procedure to combine deep cleansing of facial and neck skin, exfoliation, hydration and antioxidant protection.

After a Hydrafacial treatment, your complexion will be brighter and your skin visibly more beautiful, almost immediately after the treatment, and with no convalescence, unlike a peel.

It's a unifying, moisturizing, non-invasive and generally non-irritating treatment that also helps your skin function and protect you better.

What is the Hollywood Spectra laser?

The Hollywood Spectra laser is used to treat pigmentation spots and stimulate collagen production, to improve skin quality. The heat applied stimulates the skin to regenerate itself. It erases pigmentation spots and melasma, smoothes the skin surface and reduces acne scars, tightens pores and stimulates collagen production.

What can a peel do?

A peeling is a method of aesthetic medicine designed to create a more or less deep exfoliation of the skin using a chemical solution, in order to bring about skin regeneration.

Depending on the type of peel used, it is possible to improve :

  • Acne-prone skin and dilated pores by regulating the sebaceous glands thanks to the alpha-beta complex.
  • Minimal wrinkles and fine lines by stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis with TCA-peeling.
  • Pigmentation spots, by blocking pigment synthesis with a combination of kojic acid and retinol.
  • Radiant complexion, through epidermal stimulation with glycolic acid (fruit acid peel).

Dr Christelle Santini in Paris selects the type of peel best suited to your skin type, and the types of imperfections to be corrected.

What is mesotherapy?

The mesotherapy is an aesthetic medicine treatment that involves injecting vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients under the skin to improve its quality. Micro-injections can be performed on the scalp to stimulate hair growth, and on the face, neck and décolleté to rejuvenate the skin. This treatment is highly effective and has the advantage of being minimally invasive and painful.

Which led for which treatment?

The LED phototherapy phototherapy uses the properties of cold light to activate or modulate specific cell lines. The choice of wavelength determines which cells are photomodulated or photostimulated.

Red light, for example, will photo-stimulate wound healing, orange light will photo-modulate inflammatory reactions (suppressing redness) and green light will photo-modulate pigment cells (skin photorejuvenation).

Tattoo removal

Tattoo removal consists in facilitating the body's own elimination of the tattoo by applying a laser beam to the skin surface. The heat generated by the laser energy destroys the pigments by photothermolysis. They are then progressively evacuated by the lymphatic system.

What is morpheus 8?

Morpheus 8 is an aesthetic medicine tool combining the benefits of microneedling and radiofrequency. The device features fine needles that penetrate deep into the skin to apply an electric current. This process induces a neo-collagen phenomenon: fibroblasts stimulated in this way synthesize more collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for maintaining and hydrating the skin. This process is highly effective in reducing sagging skin, acne scars, stretch marks, cellulite, orange peel skin and wrinkles.

What is the HIFU medical facelift?

A facelift is a technique used to treat sagging skin by tightening the skin to restore sagging volumes. In particular, it tones the oval of the face, restoring a younger, more toned and smoother appearance. The medical facelift is performed without a scalpel, without surgery, and without general anesthesia. HIFU facelift uses safe medical waves, ultrasound, to heat the dermis and remodel it in depth.

Which surgeries for skin tumors and moles?

Exeresis is a surgical procedure involving the removal of a potentially harmful element (tumor, organ or foreign body).

The removal of a tumoureven a benign one, demands the utmost precision, since surgical removal must be performed with a sufficient margin around the tumor to avoid any risk of recurrence, while leaving as few traces as possible for aesthetic reasons.

She must therefore reconcile medical and artistic imperatives.

For simple excisions, the surgical procedure ends with the placement of sutures. In the case of lesions requiring deeper excision, repair of the loss of substance is necessary (flap techniques, epidermal grafting).

To minimize scarring, it is essential to have the area removed by a plastic and aesthetic surgeon. Dr. Santini performs this surgical procedure according to the rules of the art, with a precise, meticulous and artistic surgical gesture.
