Meet Dr Moshgan Mahrami from Moss Clinic, one of Ibiza’s leading specialists in Aesthetic Medicine
Dr Moshgan, one of the finest specialists in Aesthetic Medicine on the island, has recently joined Ibiza Health & Beauty. We talked to her about how this branch of medicine allows us to be our best self.
Who is Dr Moshgan Mahrami?
I qualified in Medicine and Surgery at the Complutense University in Madrid. I am a specialist in Family and Community Medicine and I have a Master's in Aesthetic Medicine.
My parents are Iranian, but I was brought up in Madrid and worked in emergency medicine at two hospitals in Barcelona for 13 years. Then, after finishing my Master's in Aesthetic Medicine, I decided to take my life in a different direction and moved to the marvellous island of Ibiza, which I absolutely adore. During my time here I have grown and learned and earned the affection and respect of the thousands of patients who come to our clinic.
What is Aesthetic Medicine? What services does it include?
Aesthetic Medicine restores, maintains and enhances people’s appearance, beauty and health. We use medical techniques and perform minor procedures under topical or local anaesthetic in an outpatient setting. The ultimate aim of these techniques is to practice genuine preventive medicine, because when patients look good it improves their well-being and general health. Aesthetic Medicine never involves major surgical techniques, which require a general anaesthetic.
What do you understand by Health, Beauty and Well-being Tourism?
In my view, health tourism means travelling to improve and maintain your health, in search of relaxation and enjoyment for body and mind equally.
Do you think Ibiza is a good place to find this?
Ibiza is magical and has plenty to offer visitors searching for well-being. We have high-quality hotels which, with a few minor changes, could become very attractive propositions for this type of tourism. These wellness holidaymakers are unconventional, because they are just as likely to visit us out of season.
Which are the most popular services among clients from outside Ibiza who visit Moss Clinic?
These are people who want to look and feel their best. More and more people want excellence. They mainly demand exclusivity and, of course, high-quality, instant results.
Which are the most outstanding services and specialist areas for residents and visitors available at Moss Clinic?
We offer all types of facial and body aesthetic medical treatments. Our most popular treatment is Moss Lips, which is my personal technique for designing lips to give them life, moisture and volume in a natural way. Botox treatments for softening expression lines. Treatments for dark circles to brighten up a tired expression and nose contouring with hyaluronic acid. Facial harmonisation using natural collagen generators for both men and women is in great demand now. Body sculpting with medical devices is a popular technique for getting rid of cellulite and local fat deposits, using radio frequency combined with ultrasound.
How do you see the future of Health and Beauty Tourism in Ibiza?
I am an optimist and I am certain that the tourism sector will bounce back when the immense majority has been vaccinated and we feel safe and confident again. We will be a benchmark for the whole world again.
I believe Ibiza will be fully capable of catering to visitors’ new habits. We need a reboot and we must all help to build a society that is healthier in every way, not only in medical terms. Perhaps the first step is to start thinking that we are tourism, and we are all part of it, and that without it our cities and towns would not be what they are.
What can you tell me about current market trends in beauty and Aesthetic Medicine treatments? What is on the horizon?
I think that facial mesotherapy - the famous beauty cocktails for the face which, according to your age and skin type, can leave your skin looking fuller, brighter, hydrated, in short younger, by means of an injection with few to no side effects - is very fashionable, and it’s here to stay... When we talk about trends in Aesthetic Medicine, we refer to treatments whose results are measured in terms of a natural look, beauty, volumes and localised contours, safety and non-invasive treatments. Medical devices are achieving some very important results and they are becoming an essential ally in Aesthetic Medicine. There are some interesting new developments in this field.
What are your recommendations for potential clients or anyone who would like to start looking after their appearance with Aesthetic Medicine?
With all the technological advances we are seeing these days, Aesthetic Medicine is coming on in leaps and bounds and is making patients look better whilst improving their quality of life. It is vital to ensure that you are in the hands of a professional when it comes to medical-aesthetic treatments. This applies to all branches of medicine, but particularly to Aesthetic Medicine, where talent is so crucial. The fact is that the results obtained through most medical-aesthetic treatments depend on technique and, inevitably, the "steady hand" and “keen eye” of the medical-aesthetic professional. It is also essential to use high quality products, but most of all, the technique used must enhance the patient’s beauty while looking natural. My advice is to find professionals with proven experience and excellent techniques.
So, if you want to be your best self, Aesthetic Medicine can offer some efficient alternatives, but only in the hands of the best professionals. Ibiza is a magnificent Health and Well-being destination to find them. Are you up for it?
