A Creation of the Agios Porfirios Aesthetics Center.
The principle aim of the Agios Porfirios Aesthetics Center is to create a culture and ethos of client-centred quality, results and innovation. This is the heart of our brand and with a particularlove for cutting-edge technology. We will ensure that all our aesthetics center has the latest machines, products and protocols that deliver impressive results for clients. All our new treatments and technologies are put through an extensive internal testing process before they become part of the client treatment program, to ensure happy, loyal clients and that we provide tangible results every time.
The Aesthetics Center will run as part of the Clinic. In the first instance the newly formed Aesthetics Center will provide the following cosmetic procedures:
- Alma Accent Prime
Accent PrimeTM is Alma Lasers most advanced workstation for skin tightening, body contouring and aesthetic enhancement.The platform combines the latest innovations in ultrasound (US) and radio frequency (RF) technologies to deliver effective, highly customized treatments with natural, long lasting results.The US energy is distributed homogenously throughout the treatment area, effectively disrupting stubborn fat cells. RF power is then used to produce thermal deep heating to the tissue, resulting in more concentrated energy treatment. This unique combination reduces treatment time and number of sessions while yielding more powerful results.
Patented Alma Unipolar technology allows for focused, safe and deep heating of tissue at various depths within the skin. With variable depth control, practitioners have the flexibility and precision to treat the target area for optimal results. The technology features a patented combination of longitudinal and transverse Ultrasound wave technology. This wave is called Shear wave which allows to selectively target fat cells, while leaving surrounding tissue unharmed. The shear wave vibrations disrupt fat cell membranes, leading to gradual breakdown and release of stored fat. Damaged fat cells are then disposed of the body through the lymphatic system. Using unique microplasma technology, the Accent Prime Pixel RFTM module provides skin resurfacing treatment by both ablating and heating the skin. Through controlled perforation and focused energy delivery, Pixel RF treats the affected area while leaving surrounding healthy tissue intact. This allows the skin to heal faster as the epidermis is regenerated, yielding improved results with minimal risk and reduced downtime.

- Hair transplantation
Androgenetic alopecia (common baldness) characterizes a very large percentage of men globally. It is about a pathological gradual hair loss from the scalp and final degeneration of the hair follicles which do not produce hair any more. This development leads to permanent hair loss. It is a combination of genital predisposition and effect of androgen hormones (testosterone) on the hair. Androgenetic alopecia can present also in women since it is a genetically predisposed condition and may be hereditary to all people. In women hair loss presents in a different pattern since common baldness like that seen in men is not the usual case.
Hair transplantation remains to date the only immediate solution to the problem of androgenetic alopecia/common baldness, which essentially helps maintaining the natural scalp image. The FUE (follicular unit extraction) method is about the extraction of one by one skin micro-implants/grafts which contain a different number of hair follicles each and derive from the rear – occipital part of the scalp.
Surgical restoration of androgenetic alopecia is performed under local anesthesia and lasts about 4 to 7 hours depending on the hair loss grade and the patient’s needs. The procedure is divided into two phases. The first is about going among the original hair at the occipital part of the scalp and taking/extracting skin micrografts containing hair follicles. This process is done by using punches and surgical experience helps to reduce the degree of surrounding hair damage so that to preserve the remaining hair intact. The second phase is about implanting the grafts in the area of interest, without processing them in any way or making any kind of pre placement holes or insertions. This process is done by using implanters.
The procedures will be carried out by Dr. Ligda.
- Other cosmetic procedures offered:
Botox (Botulinum toxin) injections relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and wrinkles, such as crow's feet and frown lines. It's not permanent – it usually lasts for around 3 or 4 months.
Injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) is a type of temporary dermal filler. Hyaluronic acid is found naturally through out the body, with the highest concentrations in the joints, eyes, and skin. In the skin hyaluronic acid attracts water, which allows the skin to become more hydrated. As we age, the fat, muscles, bone, and skin in our face begins to thin. This loss of volume leads to either a sunken or sagging appearance of the face, fine lines, wrinkles, folds, and thin lips. Injectable HA is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, facial folds, and to create structure, framework, and volume to the face and lips. The effects of injectable hyaluronic acid are seen immediately
Mesotherapy is a technique that uses injections of vitamins, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to rejuvenate and tighten skin, as well as remove excess fat.
- VIVACE microneedling with mesotherapy:
With VIVACE microneedling, microneedle electrodes deliver of energy directly into the dermis therefore thermal stimulation induces the production of new collagen and elastin.
In two days’ interval mesotherapy with multiple needle injections into the dermis hyaluronic acid and various vitamins are injected into the dermis.
This kind of treatment is the fundamental aesthetic procedure that treats acne scars on the face.
Also this treatment rejuvenates and tighten the skin.
The above services and or cosmetic procedures will be executed by Dr. Giorgos Vasiliou.
More innovative cosmetic procedures will be added following the first 6 months of operations of the Aesthetics Center.
