Our face is our calling card. A healthy, glowing and smooth face can make a good impression, so why not cherish it and treat it in the best possible way? We are here for you.
Facial mesotherapy, or mesolift, aims to treat the skin on the face and give it a youthful look, like a lift.
Mesotherapy, also known as poly-vitamin injections, involves injecting small amounts of noncross-linked hyaluronic acid, essential vitamins and minerals subcutaneously into the target organ - the dermis for the skin.
This technique allows, depending on the active compounds used, to:
- fight against skin aging by reducing fine lines and small wrinkles, and plumping the skin
- prevent skin aging
- restore radiance to the skin by revitalizing the dermis
- rejuvenate the skin by firming its texture
- restore radiance to a dull and cloudy complexion
- treat acne lesions and oily skin
The Skin Booster consists of injecting noncross-linked hyaluronic acid into the middle dermis. Hyaluronic acid will allow intense hydration of the dermis and stimulation of collagen synthesis. This allows to :
- smooth and reshape the features
- moisturize deeply and lastingly
- increase the firmness and elasticity of the skin.
This "radiance" treatment is carried out in several stages. It includes a peel, then is followed by a cocktail of vitamins and noncross-linked hyaluronic acid injected in mesotherapy.
Bio Nutrilift consists of injecting two products:
- a polyrevitalizing solution (NCF 135HA)
- noncross-linked hyaluronic acid
The first will provide the skin with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and nucleic acids. It will plump and rehydrate tired, wrinkled and lacking radiance skin. The result is a firming of the skin, giving the face its radiance.
The second, injected superficially, induces intense skin rehydration and a tightening effect against sagging skin.
The lifting effect of the Bio Nutrilift treatment restores radiance to the face and a firmer, plumper appearance to the skin for 12 to 18 months.
BIONUTRINECK polyrevitalization superficial peel Bright Peel and NCTF 135 HA NANOSOFT
This treatment helps restore firmness to the neck in two steps: a peel followed by an NCTF serum mesotherapy based on a cocktail of vitamins and noncross-linked hyaluronic acid.
This treatment revitalizes and rehydrates the skin of the neck.
Medical Highlighting is a medical protocol inspired by makeup and contouring techniques that gives a blush effect to the face.
From the age of 40, it helps to retain youth and highlight the volumes of the face. This involves depositing hyaluronic acid on specific areas such as the tail of the eyebrow, the cheekbones or the chin so that the face better captures the light.
This technique also makes it possible to:
- play on the areas of facial expression to enhance the face by injecting small amounts of hyaluronic acid or Botox
- feminize a face that is too square, or even lift it slightly
- correct shadow areas and restore volumes in older people by acting on dark circles, cheeks or nose.
Due to its strong ability to trap water, Hyaluronic Acid promotes deep hydration. It has volumizing power and helps to fill volume losses with age.
Hyaluronic acid injection helps to:
- fill in wrinkles, fine lines, nasolabial folds, bitterness folds and dark circles
- restore the volume of the lips, cheekbones, oval face, cheeks, temples and nose.
- correct imperfections of the nose, chin and forehead
- plump lips
Used in prevention, it helps prevent skin aging and delays the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Botox or botulinum toxin injections aim to reduce expression lines, especially on the upper part of the face: forehead lines, frown lines and crow's feet lines. Thanks to micro-injections, the skin is smoother and relaxed, and the eyes look younger for several months.
Microneedling blurs or even corrects facial imperfections such as acne, spots, dull complexion, enlarged pores ... It is performed using an electrical device, called a Dermapen, resembling a classic pen. Composed of 36 tiny needles, this tool pierces the epidermis and dermis at varying depths, creating micro-cuts, invisible to the naked eye. These cuts will allow the chosen serum to penetrate deeply and act more quickly. Microneedling will stimulate the skin's natural self-healing process, as well as the production of collagen and elastin. These effects help reduce dark spots, regulate excess sebum, and tighten pores. As the skin regenerates faster, acne (mild to medium) fades over the days.
Each skin being different, the professional chooses the serum to inject accordingly. A healing and moisturizing cream, as well as photoprotection are recommended for a minimum of 10 days after the operation.
A healing and moisturizing cream, as well as photoprotection are recommended for a minimum of 10 days after the procedure.
Peeling is a natural exfoliation process for the epidermis and dermis. It allows to erase all the apparent defects of the skin such as: dull complexion, coloured circles, dilated pores, loss of tone of the skin, scars, oily skin, acne, red stretch marks or hyperpigmentation.
Substances applied to the skin cause limited and controlled destruction of the epidermis or even of the superficial and deep layers of the dermis.
Depending on the needs, the peel can be superficial with fruit acids or medium with tricloroacetic (TCA).
The PRX-T33 peel is a revitalizing TCA organic peel technique. It stimulates the regeneration of the skin without generating an exfoliation of the epidermis. It enhances the radiance and luminosity of the skin, corrects skin imperfections on the skin of the face, neck or décolleté and reduces stretch marks.
A healing and moisturizing cream, as well as photoprotection are recommended for a minimum of 10 days after the procedure.
Dermabrasion removes the superficial layer of the skin (the epidermis) or even the superficial dermis. Its depth depends on the size of the defect to be corrected, the area to be treated, the quality of the skin and the desired goal.
Dermabrasion is performed using a brush or rotary burr, with a rough surface. The choice of the speed of rotation, the abrasive power of the bur and the pressure exerted by the doctor allow the qualitative control of the abrasion. Then the destroyed superficial layer will be restored thanks to the natural phenomena of repair mechanism. It allows to obtain a boost of radiance of the skin and an action on the complexion by producing a refreshing effect without resurfacing.
An accurate assessment of your skin before any treatment decision
Before recommending a dermatological or aesthetic treatment, Dr Carmen Mandula uses the Visia 7 system at her practice in Cannes. Developed by Canfield Scientific, this high-definition imaging technology provides a detailed, non-invasive assessment of your skin, both at the surface and at deeper levels, allowing her to recommend care that is genuinely tailored to your needs.
This analysis forms part of a rigorous medical approach. It does not replace a dermatological consultation, but enhances it with visual and quantifiable data that can be compared over time.
What is Visia 7?
Visia 7 is a next-generation imaging system that captures very high-resolution photographs of your face using several complementary lighting modes: standard light, cross-polarised light and ultraviolet light.
These different types of lighting reveal skin characteristics that are invisible to the naked eye, including deeper sun damage and markers associated with acne.
Using its proprietary RBX® technology, the system separates the red components of the skin, such as blood vessels, inflammation and rosacea, from the brown components, such as melanin and pigmentation spots. This provides a level of visualisation that cannot be achieved through clinical observation alone.
Why might this examination be recommended?
A Visia 7 analysis may be recommended in several situations:
An initial assessment of your skin during a first medical or aesthetic dermatology consultation.
Evaluation of skin ageing and sun-related photoageing.
Additional diagnostic support in cases of acne, rosacea or pigmentation disorders.
Objective monitoring of treatment effectiveness, including peels, laser treatments, skincare procedures and medical protocols, by comparing images over time.
Selection of the skincare products and treatments best suited to your skin type.
What happens during the session?
The examination is quick, painless and requires no special preparation.
You sit facing the device, with your chin resting on a support that ensures a stable and reproducible position. Within a few seconds, several images of your face are captured using the system’s different lighting modes.
The images are then analysed by the Visia 7 software, which creates a detailed map of your skin based on eight criteria. During the consultation, Dr Mandula discusses the results with you and incorporates them into her clinical assessment in order to develop your personalised treatment plan.
The eight criteria analysed by Visia 7
The system evaluates both surface-level and deeper skin characteristics:
Criterion | What it reveals |
|---|---|
Surface spots | Areas of hyperpigmentation, sunspots and visible brown marks. |
Wrinkles and fine lines | Lines and folds associated with skin ageing and cumulative sun exposure. |
Texture | Skin surface smoothness, skin grain and areas of uneven texture. |
Pores | The size and density of pores and the openings of the sebaceous glands. |
UV spots | Sun damage that is not yet visible on the surface and is revealed using ultraviolet light. |
Brown spots | Deeper concentrations of melanin identified using RBX® technology. |
Red areas | Rosacea, couperose, inflammation and small blood vessels isolated using RBX® technology. |
Porphyrins | Bacterial markers associated with acne, revealed through UV fluorescence. |
What are the benefits for you?
An objective assessment based on measurable data rather than visual observation alone.
A clearer understanding of the true condition of your skin, including features that are not visible on the surface.
A visual aid that makes it easier to discuss your skin with Dr Mandula during the consultation.
Precise monitoring of changes in your skin and the effectiveness of treatments over time.
An examination integrated into your care pathway
A Visia 7 analysis does not constitute a diagnosis on its own. It supports the clinical examination carried out by Dr Carmen Mandula, a dermatologist and venereologist, who remains solely responsible for determining the treatment protocol best suited to your individual situation.
No treatment is initiated solely on the basis of this imaging assessment.

Our practice is equipped with this device
Dr Carmen Mandula’s practice in Cannes is equipped with the Candela PicoWay laser, one of the world’s leading technologies for medical tattoo removal.
This latest-generation picosecond technology makes it possible to consider removing your tattoo in a rigorous medical setting, with a high level of safety and effectiveness, regardless of its size, age, colours or your skin type.
Why picosecond laser technology has transformed tattoo removal
A tattoo consists of ink particles embedded in the dermis that are too large to be naturally eliminated by the body.
Laser tattoo removal works by breaking these particles into microscopic fragments that are small enough to be gradually cleared by your immune system, session after session.
PicoWay delivers extremely short pulses measured in picoseconds, or one millionth of one millionth of a second.
This speed makes a major difference. Unlike previous-generation Q-switched lasers, which operate in nanoseconds, PicoWay primarily creates a mechanical, photoacoustic effect rather than a heating effect.
The ink is broken down into finer particles while transmitting significantly less thermal energy to the surrounding tissue. In practical terms, this means improved comfort during treatment, faster healing and a considerably lower risk of scarring or residual pigmentation, including for medium and darker skin tones.
A technology capable of treating all colours
One of the main challenges of tattoo removal is colour. Black ink responds well to most lasers, but blue, green and yellow pigments have traditionally been more resistant to older technologies.
PicoWay uses four complementary wavelengths, each designed to selectively target a specific group of pigments:
Wavelength | Targeted colours |
|---|---|
1064 nm | Black, brown and dark blue pigments |
532 nm | Red, orange and yellow pigments |
785 nm | Blue, green and purple pigments |
730 nm | Resistant pigments and complex shades |
This versatility makes it possible to treat both single-colour and multicoloured tattoos, whether amateur or professional, by adjusting the settings precisely to each pigment present in the skin.
How many sessions are required?
There is no single answer. The number of sessions depends on several factors specific to your tattoo and your skin, which are assessed during an initial consultation with Dr Mandula.
Factor | Influence on treatment |
|---|---|
Age of the tattoo | An older tattoo, whose ink has already migrated and become more dispersed within the dermis, generally fades more quickly than a recent tattoo. |
Ink density and depth | The greater and deeper the amount of ink, the more treatment sessions are usually required. |
Colours present | Black responds best to treatment. Colours such as blue, green and pale yellow generally require more sessions. |
Treatment area and skin type | The tattoo’s location and your skin phototype influence healing time and therefore the interval between sessions. |
Amateur or professional tattoo | Amateur tattoos are often less densely pigmented and are generally easier to remove than professional tattoos. |
As a general guide, several sessions are usually required, spaced a number of weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and your body to eliminate the fragmented pigments.
During the first consultation, Dr Mandula will provide a personalised estimate based on the characteristics of your tattoo.
What happens during a treatment session?
Following an initial assessment of the tattoo type, colours, depth, location and your skin phototype, Dr Mandula establishes a personalised treatment protocol.
During the session, you may feel a sensation similar to a light snapping feeling or a brief burning sensation. This is generally well tolerated and short-lived because of the speed of the PicoWay pulses.
In the days following treatment, your skin may develop mild redness, temporary swelling or small scabs. Simple local aftercare is usually sufficient to support the healing process.
What are the benefits for you?
Advanced technology capable of treating all colours, including the most resistant pigments.
Greater effectiveness than previous-generation lasers, often with fewer sessions required.
Improved comfort during treatment and faster healing.
A treatment suitable for all skin phototypes, including medium and darker skin tones.
A personalised medical protocol monitored and adjusted by Dr Mandula after each session.

VBEAM from CANDELA
The Vbeam device is a pulsed dye laser, indicated and recognized for the treatment of vascular lesions. Thanks to its wavelength of 595 nm, it can treat a large part of vascular lesions such as stellate angiomas, rubies, telangiectasias, rosacea etc ...
This laser can also be used to improve the texture of recent, red and inflammatory post-surgical scars.
CUTERA EXCEL V
The Excel V Cutera laser system has many features to treat a very wide range of superficial to deep vascular lesions, benign pigmented lesions and skin revitalization issues. It is the new benchmark for the treatment of red, brown, purple and blue vascular lesions.
The principle of carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers is to destroy benign skin lesions. Thanks to the fractional CO2 technique, this laser allows faster healing giving results from the first session.
Ultra-pulsed pulse fractional CO2 laser treatment is a safe, non-invasive process that allows you to rediscover youthful, fresh and healthy skin. It heats the dermis in depth, generates a re-tensioning of the tissues and stimulates the synthesis of collagen in the dermis, in addition to its purely ablative effect on the surface.
It can be used to treat:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- actinic elastosis (sagging skin)
- solar entigos (age spots)
- atrophic scars, in particular acne
The areas that can be treated are: the eye area, neck, mouth, décolleté and hands.
Our practice is equipped with this device
Dr Carmen Mandula’s practice in Cannes is equipped with the Candela PicoWay laser, an internationally recognised picosecond platform. In addition to tattoo removal, this device can precisely treat pigmentation spots, melasma and certain acne scars, while also improving the overall quality of your skin, with a high level of safety for all skin phototypes.
What is the PicoWay laser?
PicoWay is a picosecond laser. Its extremely short pulses, lasting approximately one millionth of one millionth of a second, deliver photoacoustic energy rather than heat-based energy.
This mechanical action breaks down pigments within the skin while preserving the surrounding tissue, helping to reduce the risk of side effects compared with previous-generation lasers.
The device uses four complementary wavelengths—532, 730, 785 and 1064 nm—which allow it to target different types of pigment at varying depths. This versatility is why PicoWay is considered one of the picosecond platforms with the broadest range of applications in dermatology.
Technology designed for your comfort and safety
Thanks to its ultra-short pulses, PicoWay limits heat transfer to the surrounding tissue. For you, this means improved comfort during treatment and a reduced risk of side effects, particularly residual pigmentation after the procedure.
This precision also allows the device to be adapted to all skin phototypes, including medium and darker skin tones, which benefit from the enhanced safety offered by this technology.
What conditions can this laser treat?
Indication | What the treatment can provide |
|---|---|
Pigmentation spots and lentigines | Targeted treatment of brown spots on the face, hands and décolletage without damaging the surrounding skin. |
Melasma | Management of a complex pigmentation condition, potentially in combination with topical treatments. |
Acne scars and fine lines | Collagen stimulation to improve skin texture and reduce superficial scarring. |
Skin rejuvenation | Improvement in skin texture, radiance and overall tone uniformity. |
What happens during a treatment session?
After examining your skin and discussing your expectations, Dr Mandula determines the laser settings best suited to your condition and skin phototype, including the wavelength, fluence and spot size.
Depending on the area being treated, you may feel a tingling sensation or mild warmth, which is generally well tolerated.
After treatment, the most common effects are temporary redness or mild swelling lasting a few hours.
What are the benefits for you?
A versatile technology capable of treating a wide range of conditions with a single device.
Improved comfort and a reduced risk of complications due to its photoacoustic effect.
A treatment suitable for all skin phototypes, including darker skin tones.
Clinically documented results, with high satisfaction rates from the first treatment sessions.
A fully personalised protocol defined by Dr Mandula according to your skin and treatment indication.
