Prosedur Diagnosis di clinic ICA

Clínica ICA is a private aesthetic medicine and surgery clinic located in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. The clinic operates two branches in La Orotava and Costa Adeje. Specialists here follow an integrative philosophy. They evaluate underlying factors like nutrition and sleep before performing any aesthetic procedure.

Recognitions and Quality Standards

The clinic holds ISO 9001 certification. In 2016, it received the Estrella de Oro a la Excelencia Profesional from the Instituto para la Excelencia Profesional. Medical Director Dr. Sonia Díaz has also earned recognition from the Ilustre Academia de Ciencias de la Salud Ramón y Cajal.

Aesthetic and Plastic Surgery

The surgical department provides full continuity of care. This includes an initial study, treatment, post-operative care, and long-term follow-up. Surgeons perform several facial and body contouring procedures:

• Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery)
• Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping)
• Otoplasty (ear surgery)
• Bichectomy (cheek fat removal)
• Mini lifting and lipofilling
• Breast augmentation using implants or autologous fat

Rhinoplasty patients undergo a paranasal sinus CT scan to ensure a safe surgical plan. Most surgical patients go home within five hours of the procedure.

Aesthetic Medicine and Laser Treatments

The clinic has a dedicated laser unit for non-surgical rejuvenation and skin repair. Specialists use DEEPSPOT fractional laser for personalized scar treatment. This system includes a Profundo mode to stimulate collagen in atrophic scars. It also features a Frío mode to protect pigment in hypertrophic scars.

The unit also offers Ultherapy Prime, which uses focused ultrasound to lift skin without incisions. For facial wrinkles, the clinic provides tensor threads under local anesthesia.

The medical team performs genital skin lightening as well. This process combines lasers, chemical acids, and specialized creams. Patients typically need 3–5 sessions for lasting results.

Weight Management and Nutrition

The Área de Nutrición focuses on metabolic balance and weight reduction. Surgeons perform gastric sleeve surgery using laparoscopic techniques. This minimally invasive method requires only five small incisions. During the operation, surgeons remove 60–80% of the stomach capacity. This reduces hunger and increases the feeling of fullness. The department also provides:

• Intragastric balloon placement
• Nutritional coaching and follow-up
• Oligotest to analyze vitamin and mineral imbalances
• Non-surgical fat reduction via CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling to destroy fat cells without harming surrounding tissue.

International Patient Services

Clínica ICA offers a structured information system for international visitors. The medical team provides consultations in English and Spanish. Dedicated messaging for foreign patients helps travelers understand their assessment before arriving in Tenerife. After treatment, the clinic provides periodic reviews for patients with implants to monitor long-term progress.
