CAPMED is a private aesthetic medicine and wellness clinic in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The facility focuses on skin care, body contouring, and non-surgical rejuvenation. Specialists use a technology-first approach to create personalized treatment plans for patients of all ages.
Aesthetic Medicine and Skin Care
The medical team is headed by Dr. Lisette Pappaterra, an aesthetic physician and capillary surgeon. She earned her Master's in Transplant and Capillary Medicine from the University of Alcalá and the Mississippi Institute in Spain. Dr. Pappaterra also holds a Master's in Aesthetic and Anti-Aging Medicine from the Complutense University of Madrid.
Specialists treat various skin and hair concerns using several methods:
- Laser and device-based therapy for hair removal and skin rejuvenation
- Aesthetic injectables to restore volume and smooth wrinkles
- Microneedling for acne scars and pigmentation
- Capillary treatments for hair loss and scalp health
- Wellness solutions including supervised ketogenic nutrition plans
The clinic uses Dermatoscopy and digital mole mapping for precise skin assessments. These tools help specialists identify vascular and pigmented lesions before starting laser therapy.
Laser and Light-Based Procedures
CAPMED uses the Candela Gentle Pro Series for permanent hair reduction and skin rejuvenation. This FDA-approved platform combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers to treat different skin types. The system includes a Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) that releases cryogenic bursts before and after each pulse. This protects the skin and improves comfort.
For skin repair and inflammation, the clinic offers Celluma Dynamic Phototherapy. These 30-minute sessions use blue, red, and infrared light wavelengths. The light stimulates mitochondrial receptors to boost ATP production, which speeds up tissue repair and improves microcirculation.
Body contouring and skin tightening are performed with the Alma Accent Prime platform. The clinic also provides THORK shock wave therapy. These acoustic waves improve skin texture and treat localized concerns without surgery.
Injectable and Rejuvenation Treatments
The clinic offers several facial fillers and biostimulation substances. These include calcium hydroxyapatite and poly-D-lactic acid. Both materials stimulate natural collagen production to improve skin structure and firmness. Specialists also perform botulinum toxin injections to soften deep facial lines.
For cellular regeneration, CAPMED offers Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy. Specialists extract the patient's own platelets and re-inject them into the face, neck, or hands. This accelerates natural tissue healing and skin revitalization.
Dermapen 4 microneedling delivers intradermal injections through controlled micro-channels. This stimulates elastin production. Patients often choose it to reduce enlarged pores and fine lines.
Advanced Skin Hydration
The clinic performs Hydrafacial treatments using patented technology for deep cleansing and extraction. This procedure delivers nutritive ingredients into the skin through specialized super serums. Treatment is recommended every 6–8 weeks to maintain results.
Hydrafacial objectives include:
- Deep hydration and acne control
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Increased skin elasticity and relief of redness
Specialists also offer the Signature Facial. This treatment is typically scheduled every 4–6 weeks to support long-term skin health. Every protocol is adjusted based on the patient's skin type and goals.
Wellness and Medical Supervision
CAPMED combines aesthetic care with wellness solutions to support overall health. This includes personalized nutrition plans focused on weight management. The clinic uses the PronoKal method – a medically supervised ketogenic approach. This program helps patients achieve lasting results through metabolic control and professional guidance.
