DERMATOFUNCTIONAL PHYSIOTHERAPY
Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy is the specialty responsible for promoting and rehabilitating the functionality of the integumentary system. It acts in the evaluation, prevention and recovery of disorders / pathologies, surgical procedures and injuries of endocrine, metabolic, circulatory, dermatological, musculoskeletal or neurological origin that affect directly or indirectly the integrity of the integumentary system.
The dermatofunctional physiotherapist acts from prevention to the treatment of tegumentary (dys) functions, and his intervention is based on health promotion and rehabilitation in reparative and surgical contexts. Thus, we can see this professional working in several conditions such as: localized fat, fibroid edema (GEG), skin and muscle flaccidity, stretch marks, dyschromias, scars, wrinkles, skin pathologies (rosacea, psoriasis, xerosis, acne, dermatitis and vitiligo), cutaneous discontinuity situations such as burns and ulcers, pre-, trans- and postoperative care, lymphedema and mastectomies.
It also plays an important role in the fight against photoaging and in the early screening of skin cancer with its referral to dermatology.
Bearing in mind that the changes that involve the integumentary system and its related structures, commonly affect the subject's appearance, it is possible to understand the relevance of Dermatofunctional, which will act in terms of functionality, and will still play an important psychosocial role.
In Portugal, Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy started taking its first steps about 10 years ago. Although it is a recent past, it already has dozens of qualified professionals to intervene daily in it from north to south of the country, mostly under private practice in clinics and hospitals.

FACIAL LIFTING WITH PDO THREADS
What does it consist of?
It is a new method of non-surgical LIFTING based on the multiple implantation of mini polydioxanone wires (PDO), which form a vector network that acts as support for the flaccid tissues and lack of volume in the face and body.
The PDO thread is a synthetic monofilament 100% absorbable by the body, used for many years mainly as a suture in internal surgeries, it was noticed that the scars were much less evident with the use of this thread and the skin with excellent appearance. Since then, several studies have been carried out for application to the face and body for intense stimulation of collagen and elastin.
The technique of this facelift has been disseminated in the world because it is an application of minimal invasion, allowing the very subtle insertion of the hair in the desired places almost imperceptibly through the dermis, promoting an effect very similar to the surgical facelift. In parallel, a therapeutic result is obtained in the improvement of tissues, activation of blood supply and lymphatic channels.
Promotes an effect of lifting the notorious tissue immediately and simultaneously favors the natural production of collagen. Stimulates skin rejuvenation, providing vitality, elasticity and greater luminosity. It improves the appearance of small wrinkles, nasolabial folds and sagging skin.
How is it done?
The application procedure is relatively simple and quick (30-60 minutes), it is an outpatient technique, requiring only local anesthesia. The therapy consists of the insertion of small needles loaded with mini threads of Polydioxanone (PDO) that remain in the dermis, after the removal of the needles.
The availability of different needle sizes facilitates treatment and adaptation to each zone and the patient's characteristics
The patient's return to his daily life is almost immediate, and he can even apply make-up.
What does the patient notice?
The tension caused by the implanted threads together with the edema caused by the trauma of the process itself, causes, from the first moment, a visible lifting effect.
The wires start to act immediately. From the third week onwards the real effects begin to be visible. The maximum effect point is reached after 2 to 3 months. They take between 6 to 8 months to be reabsorbed. During this time, its presence continues to stimulate the action of fibroblasts, increasing the production of collagen and elastin. This causes the effects to last over time after the strands disappear.
If necessary, you can repeat the procedure implementing new threads until you get the desired effect. You can perform touch-ups at any time.
Pre-treatment recommendations:
If you are taking painkillers, avoid aspirin, as it favors the appearance of bruises.
Avoid coffee, tobacco and stimulants in general.
Post-treatment recommendations:

You can carefully wash the treated area after 4 or 5 hours, but avoid sudden movements, open your mouth excessively, laugh out loud or any other stimulus of the facial muscles during the following days. Do not massage the area during the first month. Avoid saunas and heat sources. You can use light makeup. Excessive makeup is not recommended in the treated area.

360º CRYOLIPOLYSIS
CRYOLIPOLYSIS 360º is the latest and most effective method of combating localized fats, initially developed by scientists at Harvard Medical School. It allows non-invasively to eliminate localized fat, preserving the skin, nerves and blood vessels.
The equipment, with the handles of different sizes, are positioned in the treatment areas, a suction of the excess fat tissues is carried out into the handle and a controlled cooling of the fat is induced.
The equipment works selectively on the fat cells of the selected region, the fat is cooled to - 10º C for 35 - 50 min. The skin is protected by a specific gel film during the session.
At first, the patient feels a firm pull and an intense, but bearable cold in the applied region. Soon after, the sensation is tingling. Experts guarantee that these sensations are bearable and transient and that the patient does not feel pain during or after treatment.
Recovery after 360 ° Cryolipolysis is immediate (there is only a redness in the treated area and a swelling that quickly disappears) and the results can be seen within two months after the first application. In each session about 40% to 60% of the fat in the applied region is lost. The number of sessions varies according to the fat thickness of each region and the result expected by the patient.
Experts ensure that the results are permanent - as long as the patient is careful not to put on weight again.
COMMON QUESTIONS:
We are a family owned and operated business.
1. What happens during treatment?
In the first stage, the fat area to be treated is marked. Then a protective film is placed in order to preserve the integrity of the skin and prevent injury. The treatment handle is then placed over the selected area, which through the vacuum delimits the area to be treated. After these procedures, Cryolipolysis begins.
2. How does it feel during treatment?
You will feel a sensation of intense cold during the first minutes that will dissipate quickly. The patient is comfortably seated or lying down during the treatment period.
3. Will I be able to return to my routine after treatment?
Yes you can. The treatment is not invasive, so you can go back to your routine afterwards. There are some temporary effects after treatment, which disappear in a few days: redness, flictus, ecchymosis, tingling or numbness in the treated area.
4. When will the results of Cryolipolysis be visible?
Cryolipolysis leads to the death of fat cells in the treated area. The elimination of these cells from the body, starts immediately and is complete within 120 days. After a week the results start to be visible. About 80% of the results are achieved within 2 months after treatment and the final result after 3 months.
With this state-of-the-art technique, the patient can eliminate 20 to 25% of the fat in the worked area, with a single application. It is ideal for those who want to get rid of unwanted excesses and can be applied to different parts of the body, especially in the areas of the belly, back and thighs.
ULTRA-CAVITATION
Cavitation is also known as Ultralipo or non-invasive liposuction. Given its efficiency, it is a good alternative to traditional liposuction, not least because it is a non-invasive and completely painless method.
What is Cavitation?
It is an ultrasound technology that causes the formation of micro bubbles in the adipose tissue, triggering the rupture of the cell membrane and fragmentation of the fat cells. Its content is composed mainly of triglycerides, which are dispersed in the interstitial space and are transported through the lymphatic system to the liver.
What are the advantages and results of Cavitation?
Firstly, Cavitation is a safe method and that, unlike other procedures, such as traditional liposuction, does not require hospitalization, cuts, anesthesia, or recovery time.
The results of Cavitation become evident in the first sessions. The body contour becomes more defined so that you can achieve a more elegant silhouette. However, this treatment can be done not only by women, but also by men and the most treated areas are the glutes, the thighs, the abdomen and the external and internal part of the leg. It can also be used in other areas with a high adiposity index.
Obviously, some care with food is recommended, as well as regular physical exercise, so as not to recover the lost fat.
Experts recommend that there be an interval of at least 3 days between sessions and recommend patients to drink two liters of water a day, during treatment, to help eliminate fat from our body.
How long is the treatment?
The treatment has a variable duration according to the area to be treated, the degree of adiposity and the organism of each person. In any case, six to twelve sessions per zone to be treated are generally recommended, with each session lasting an average of 45 minutes.
Cavitation is usually followed by the INDIBA proionic system activating the physiological lymphatic drainage that will facilitate the routing of triglycerides to the lymphatic pathways and to the liver.
