The physician who will see you

Dr. Jorge Vives is a radiologist and aesthetic physician, member of the Asociación Colombiana de Radiología. That combination is the reason procedures here start with imaging the anatomy rather than with the injection.

Book a consultation in aesthetic medicine

The first step is always an assessment. What you need, whether it can be done without surgery, and what is realistic for your face is decided there — not from a price list. Consultations in Cartagena, with scheduled dates in Bogotá and Medellín, or online if you are planning a trip.

Frequently asked questions

Most treatments are minimally invasive and performed with topical or local anesthesia, so discomfort is limited. Most patients describe pressure rather than pain, and go back to their routine the same day.

It depends on the treatment. Botulinum toxin lasts 3 to 6 months; hyaluronic acid 6 to 18 months depending on the area; collagen biostimulators up to 2 years. Duration is also affected by your own metabolism.

Generally no. Most patients return to normal activity the same day. Swelling or small bruises for a few days are common depending on the area treated.

Every medical procedure carries some risk, and anyone who tells you otherwise is not being straight with you. The relevant risks here are vascular — product reaching a vessel — which is precisely why the anatomy is imaged with ultrasound before injecting. The specific risks of your procedure are reviewed with you before you decide.

That is what the assessment is for. The right procedure depends on your goals, your skin and your anatomy — and sometimes the honest answer is that the treatment you came asking about is not the one that would help you.

Yes. Dr. Vives is based in Cartagena, where he sees patients on a regular weekly schedule at his practice in Bocagrande. He also travels to Bogotá and Medellín on scheduled dates each month and sees patients at a partner clinic in each city, following the same assessment protocol.

Consultations and treatments are available in all three cities. Plans that involve several areas are usually staged, so the sequence is arranged around the confirmed dates.

Because Bogotá and Medellín are consultation days rather than permanent offices, dates are confirmed before you travel. Request the next available date through the form and we will confirm the city and the date with you. If you are traveling from abroad, you can also start with an online consultation before booking your trip.

Aesthetic medicine, with the anatomy checked first
