Dermato-Functional Fisiotherapy is the subdomain within physiotherapy that focuses on skin care. The tegumentary tissue (the skin and all its layers) is the human body’s first line of defense. The skin prevents dehydration, protects you from the sun and pollution, and undergoes changes due to age and different stages of life.

For example, skin ruptures such as stretch marks may appear during pregnancy, as well as pregnancy-related conditions like hyperpigmentation. As we age, Type III collagen (which forms the skin and human connective tissue) decreases in both quantity and quality. This leads to elastosis, more commonly known as fine lines or wrinkles. Another consequence is skin laxity, affecting both the body and the face.

In our Dermato-Functional Physiotherapy consultations, we have the tools to treat all aspects of skin-related conditions.

  • Surgical scars

Our Services

Radiofrequency:

This is one of the best technologies to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. It delivers immediate results in improving skin laxity and reoxygenating the tissue. Its use can be combined with different active ingredients, depending on the specific needs of each skin type.

Shock Waves:

This technique helps regenerate fibroblasts and elastin, which in turn releases adhesions in the different layers of the skin and enhances collagen production.

Microneedling:

This tool creates micro-channels in the skin, allowing deeper penetration of various active ingredients tailored to the specific needs of each skin type.
