Acne Treatment by Dr. Elmira Gesheva
Dr. Elmira Gesheva, a board-certified dermatologist with a PhD in Medical Sciences, manages acne cases at the clinic. She received medical training at New York University and the University of Graz.

This expert background allows for precise diagnosis and management of various skin conditions.
Tailored Medication Plans
Treatment begins with a detailed consultation and skin examination to create a plan based on the severity of the acne. This structured approach helps address different levels of skin concerns:
- Mild acne: Patients receive guidance on washing routines and specific skincare products.
- Moderate acne: The dermatologist prescribes topical creams or oral medications to reduce sebum and inflammation.
- Severe acne: A full evaluation happens before starting intensive prescription therapy to prevent scarring.
Patient Requirements and Benefits
Ideal candidates have active acne and are in good physical and psychological health. Success depends on a commitment to following the doctor's at-home care instructions. This medical therapy aims to lower sebum production and decrease inflammation while minimizing future scarring. Because the treatments are non-surgical, they require little to no recovery time.

Surgical and Aesthetic Specialties
Plastic surgery services focus on breast, facial, and body contouring procedures. The surgical team performs several complex breast operations:
- Breast augmentation with fat transfer or implants
- Breast lift (mastopexy) with internal bra techniques
- DIEP flap reconstruction for post-cancer patients
- Breast reduction and gynecomastia surgery for men
Fat transfer procedures use gentle liposuction devices. These protect live fat cells before purification and reinjection.
Facial rejuvenation options include the video-endoscopic facelift. Surgeons use small scalp incisions and an endoscope to reposition midface tissues. This method takes two to three hours and aims for a softer look with minimal visible scarring. The clinic also offers otoplasty and rhinoplasty.
Body sculpting programs combine fat removal with skin-tightening techniques. Specialists perform tummy tucks (abdominoplasty) and lower body lifts. For patients with keloid or hypertrophic scars, the clinic provides cryotherapy, steroid injections, and laser surgery to flatten scar tissue.
Aesthetic medicine and dermatology services are led by Dr. Elmira Gesheva. This department manages skin rejuvenation through several non-surgical methods:
- Botox injections for forehead lines and crow's feet
- Dermal fillers including Juvéderm and Restylane
- RF micro-needling for skin firmness
- Chemical peels in light, medium, and deep variants
Dermatology services also include Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections and specialized acne clearing treatments.
