Aesthetic medicine

Aesthetics, through a medical lens

Alongside hair medicine, the clinic also offers aesthetic treatments. Here you will find medical guides to each treatment: how it works, what the research says, who it suits and who it does not, and what the risks are. All treatments at the clinic are performed by Dr. Dana Buchbut herself, a physician (M.D.).

The articles in this section were written and medically reviewed by Dr. Dana Buchbut, M.D., Israeli medical license no. 115672, member of the Israel Medical Association

In short

Three families of treatment: injectables (botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, and collagen stimulators such as Radiesse, Sculptra and Aesthefill), regenerative treatments made from your own body (PRP, iPRF and nanofat), and skin-quality treatments (skin boosters, microneedling and TCA peels).
Examination and conversation first: what the goal is, what the risks are, what the alternatives are, and who the treatment is not suitable for.
Not permanent: botulinum toxin works temporarily, and hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with an enzyme when needed.
Where: the clinic of Dr. Dana Buchbut, a physician (M.D.), at Beit HaRofim, 11 HaBarzel St., Ramat HaHayal, Tel Aviv.
