Medicalia at a Glance

Clinic Overview

Medicalia, located in Rome's EUR district, is a multispecialty polyclinic that combines aesthetic medicine with a wide range of medical and surgical specialties. Its services include aesthetic and medical dermatology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, maxillofacial surgery, general and proctological surgery, dentistry, cardiology, allergology, angiology, and dietetics. This integrated approach allows patients to receive comprehensive care in one location, whether they are seeking cosmetic treatments, medical procedures, or specialist consultations.

One of Medicalia's distinguishing features is its focus on caring for patients who may find traditional clinical settings challenging, particularly those with diagnosed medical phobias, including dental phobia, and individuals with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities. The clinic operates a PC2-authorized day surgery theater where selected surgical and dental procedures can be performed under deep intravenous sedation, helping reduce anxiety and improve patient comfort. Its multidisciplinary team includes experienced specialists in dermatology, dentistry, cardiology, and surgery, with several physicians holding academic appointments and memberships in recognized professional organizations.

Treatments & Services

Medicalia's services fall into five broad clinical categories: aesthetic and regenerative dermatology, specialized laser therapies, surgical procedures (plastic, general, and maxillofacial), dentistry and oral care, and medical dermatology/therapeutic services.

• Aesthetic & Regenerative Dermatology: This category covers injectable and device-based treatments such as poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra), Rinofiller (non-surgical rhinoplasty), botulinum toxin, hyaluronic acid fillers, Morpheus8, Onda Coolwaves, radiofrequency, chemical peels, electroporation, bio-tricostimulation, Kleresca biophotonic therapy, LED therapy, and intense pulsed light (IPL). These treatments are generally non-surgical, delivered in an outpatient setting, and aimed at facial rejuvenation, body contouring, hair revitalization, or management of acne and rosacea.
• Specialized Laser Therapies: Medicalia offers fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing, Nd-YAG vascular laser, Q-switched laser, and Alexandrite laser treatments, used respectively for skin resurfacing, vascular and nail-fungus conditions, pigment and tattoo removal, and permanent hair reduction.
• Surgical Procedures. The plastic, general, and maxillofacial surgery division covers dermatological surgery (mole, cyst, and lesion excision); CO₂ laser surgery; plastic surgery specialties (including mastoplasty, facelift, blepharoplasty, liposuction, abdominoplasty, otoplasty, and labioplasty); autologous hair transplantation; general and proctological surgery (including hemorrhoidectomy and cholecystectomy); and maxillofacial surgery (including orthognathic surgery and jaw cyst treatment).
• Dentistry & Oral Care (Medicalia Dental Care): This division offers surgical dentistry under deep sedation for special-needs and phobic patients, alongside comprehensive dental care (fillings, veneers, prosthetics, endodontics, orthodontics, and hygiene) and advanced implantology, including zygomatic implants and computer-guided flapless implant surgery.

Credibility & Accreditation

Medicalia operates under authorization from the Lazio Region as a PC2-type surgical presidium, allowing selected surgical procedures to be performed safely within its own day surgery unit instead of requiring hospital admission. The clinic has also received the Impresa Rosa Regione Lazio recognition for its commitment to gender equality and inclusion. In addition, Medicalia is partnered with the EU Disability Card (Carta Europea della Disabilità) program, helping improve accessibility and support for patients with disabilities.

The clinic's multidisciplinary medical team includes experienced specialists across several fields. Dr. Elisabetta Perosino is a dermatologist and vice president of ISPLAD (International-Italian Society of Plastic-Aesthetic and Oncological Dermatology). Dr. Fabrizio Celani, Medicalia's Medical Director, is registered with the Bari Medical Order (Registration No. 16348). The team also includes Prof. Livio Gallottini, a dentistry specialist with a PhD in Stomatological Diseases, and Prof. Maria Giulia Gagliardi, a cardiologist who previously served at Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital. Together, these specialists provide patients with comprehensive, multidisciplinary care backed by extensive clinical experience.

The Patient Pathway

1. Initial Inquiry. A prospective patient contacts Medicalia to discuss their concern and request an initial specialist consultation.
2. Consultation. The clinician takes a detailed clinical history (anamnesi) and, where relevant, performs diagnostic imaging or microscopic skin analysis to inform the treatment plan.
3. Diagnosis & Personalized Plan. Based on the consultation findings, the specialist proposes a personalized treatment plan suited to the patient's clinical presentation.
4. The Procedure. Treatment is carried out either in an outpatient treatment room for non-surgical procedures or in the PC2-authorized Sala Chirurgica 4.0 for surgical and sedation-based procedures.
5. Same-Day Recovery. Patients are typically discharged the same day; those treated under sedation are monitored for approximately 2 hours before discharge.
6. Aftercare. Post-treatment monitoring and pain management are provided as part of a structured aftercare system.
7. Follow-Up. Personalized remote follow-up pathways are available for ongoing monitoring after the initial procedure.

Suitability

• Patients who are strong candidates for treatment at Medicalia: adults or children with a diagnosed dermatological condition (such as psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, acne, or rosacea); patients seeking aesthetic facial or body treatment with realistic expectations; patients with dental phobia who have avoided routine dental care; and patients with physical, sensory, or intellectual disabilities who require a barrier-free clinical environment.
• Patients who may need to delay or modify treatment Patients with autoimmune or connective tissue disease should be assessed with precaution before receiving PLLA (Sculptra) injections. Patients with active infection, uncontrolled systemic disease, or recent use of certain medications should be individually assessed at consultation before any injectable, laser, or surgical treatment.
• Patients for whom certain treatments are not clinically appropriate Patients who have previously received permanent dermal fillers are not suitable candidates for PLLA (Sculptra). Patients with large noses requiring volume reduction, a deviated septum, or respiratory issues are not suitable candidates for Rinofiller. Specific contraindications for each surgical procedure are determined individually at consultation.

Results & Clinical Outcomes

Results at Medicalia vary by treatment category and are documented most thoroughly for PLLA (Sculptra) and rhinoplasty in the clinic's research base. According to a systematic review of 11 randomized controlled trials, PLLA maintained high aesthetic improvement in 90% of patients at 13 months and above 81% at 19–25 months, with dermal thickness and elasticity improvements persisting for at least 18–25 months. According to a systematic review of 16 studies covering over 2,700 rhinoplasty patients, statistically significant improvements in self-esteem, body image, social functioning, and mental health were observed and remained stable from 3 months to 5 years post-operation. Results vary from person to person and depend on individual factors assessed at consultation.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery at Medicalia varies depending on the treatment performed. Non-surgical procedures generally involve little to no downtime, while surgical treatments require a longer healing period with personalized follow-up to support a safe recovery.

• Non-Surgical Treatments: Minimal downtime; most patients return to normal activities immediately or within a few days
• Laser Treatments: Fractional CO₂ laser patients typically resume normal activities within 5 days
• Surgical Dentistry: Patients are usually discharged about 2 hours after deep sedation
• Plastic Surgery: Light activities generally resume within 1–3 weeks, with full recovery in 4–6 weeks, depending on the procedure
• Aftercare: Personalized follow-up, recovery monitoring, pain management, and post-operative support throughout the healing process

Safety, Risks & Side Effects

Medicalia follows established safety protocols to help minimize risks during both non-surgical and surgical treatments. Every procedure is preceded by a medical assessment to determine suitability and ensure patient safety.

• Common Side Effects: Temporary redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, or mild discomfort after injectable and laser treatments
• Potential Risks: Less common complications, such as small nodules after PLLA treatment, may occur depending on the procedure and individual response
• Contraindications: Certain treatments may not be suitable for patients with permanent fillers, specific medical conditions, or anatomical concerns; a consultation is required before treatment
