DermatosCOPY
A lot of attention is paid to sun protection, primarily due to the dangerous changes caused by excessive exposure to UV rays, which is why regular dermatoscopic examination of skin growths and moles is important.
BEAUTY & HEALTH
Examine your skin, take care of its health and beautify your appearance with our unique treatments. The basis of our dermatological offer is a combination of health and aesthetics in accordance with the latest medical trends.
BEST COSMETOLOGY
All our dermoaesthetic treatments use only top dermoaesthetic products. Their highly effective formulas provide the skin with a complete dermatological, science-based care that results in healthy and beautiful skin.
SKIN & BODY
The changes we see on the skin can also indicate some changes within the body. The skin connects us with the environment, but also protects us from unwanted external influences, allergies, infections and UV rays.
Aesthetic Dermatology
Aesthetic dermatology is a part of dermatology that we unjustifiably associate exclusively with beautification that has little to do with health.
Many methods used in aesthetic dermatology work on the opposite principle – by nourishing the skin with vitamins, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and other nutrients, we actually heal it, and what we eventually see is a more beautiful appearance and skin color.
The first group of dermoaesthetic procedures includes methods by which we remove the dead stratum corneum of cells on the surface of the skin (chemical peeling, mechanical peeling – microdermabrasion, radio waves, laser). Removing the dead stratum corneum is important to solve the problem of grayish, dry, “lifeless” appearance of the skin.
By removing the “excess” of corneal cells (which grows larger with age, and the skin is rougher, tougher and wrinklier), we not only solve the problem of appearance, but also the problem of hyperpigmentation and irregular pigmentation whose excess is in the stratum corneum. After such a procedure, the penetration of all the nutrients we use in creams, serums, masks, is much better, more effective and more complete.
The second group of dermoaesthetic procedures includes nutritional methods that nourish the skin, give it the right, quality fuel for renewal, growth and repair. These are procedures by which, figuratively speaking, we “stop time”, ie “turn the clock back”. They are crucial for the life of the skin in terms of health and aesthetics. Nutritional methods are mesotherapy, iontophoresis, various masks and hydration with hyaluronic acid.
Mesotherapy is the most effective method. Tiny needle stings through the skin allow nutrients (so-called cocktails of antioxidants and hyaluronic acid) to get to the right place, without the possibility of their loss and change by passing through the upper layer of skin cells. The skin “comes to life” after such a procedure, so mesotherapy is not called a “skin infusion” without basis.
The stings are not painful but “prickly” and are tolerated by everyone, even those who “do not like the needle”. But precisely because it “stings”, the method has a better effect than some other nutritional treatments (iontophoresis, masks. The best results are achieved by a combination of methods – chemical peeling, mesotherapy and iontophoresis.
Chemical peeling is a method by which the upper layers of the skin are removed with chemical agents, acids, most often of fruit origin. The best known and oldest is glycolic acid (which is extracted from sugar cane), but there are others (mandelic, kojic, trichloroacetic, salicylic), which are often – for better effect and less irritation – combined in one preparation.
Peeling can be superficial, semi-deep and deep.
Surface peels are very mild. What they achieve is the removal of the dead, horny layer of the skin, after which it becomes smooth, shiny, more even. Surface peels rarely cause redness, but if they do occur, they are short-lived and disappear very quickly.
Medium-deep peels are used when we want to get rid of deeper acne scars, in older (wrinkled) skin and skin that is chronically damaged by the sun (which is manifested by sun spots called lentigo, keratoses, and fine skin wrinkles). In these cases, the best results are achieved by a combination of medium-deep peeling, mesotherapy and iontophoresis.
Medium-deep peels regularly cause redness, followed by peeling of the skin, which can last for several days. Peeling is also the goal of exfoliation. During this time, the skin is nourished with appropriate preparations and most importantly – protected from the sun!
In order for certain active substances (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants) to cross the epidermal barrier more easily and reach the deeper layers of the skin in the desired concentration, where we need them most, we use iontophoresis and sonophoresis methods.
Iontophoresis uses water ions as carriers of active substances to the deeper layers of the skin, while in sonophoresis the carriers are ultrasound waves.
The methods are pleasant, completely painless, we usually combine them with chemical peels and mesotherapy, but they can also be used in isolation. Since there is no risk of possible side effects in terms of redness, irritation, etc., the methods are very suitable in situations just before an important event where we want to shine.
The effect of ionto and / or sonophoresis lasts relatively short, a few days, the methods make the skin brighter, firmer, smoother. For longer lasting, multi-week and monthly results, there are chemical peels and mesotherapy.
Microdermabrasion is a mechanical procedure that removes the surface layer of the epidermis, ie the dead, horny layer of the skin, to get a fresher, brighter look or correct post-acne scars, pigmentation spots, fine wrinkles, rough skin and sun-damaged skin.
Microdermabrasion is a simple, painless, non-invasive procedure, does not require recovery, and immediately after treatment, the patient can return to daily activities. Efficiency, safety and practicality are the reason why microdermabrasion is one of the most sought after dermoaesthetic treatments in the world. All the devices we use are of top quality, including the device for microdermabrasion. The device does not use aluminum but diamond grinders, whose advantage is precision, safety and hypoallergenicity. A large number of different extensions allows us to adapt the treatment to different skin types and the problems we solve.
The microdermabrasion procedure lasts about 20 minutes, after which the skin is shiny, smooth and well-circulated.
Microdermabrasion is followed by treatment, which is recommended by a dermatologist, depending on the condition and requirements of the skin – antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, moisturizers, or a combination. All the preparations used are from the L’Oreal line, a well-known professional line of dermatological cosmetics.
Dermaroller treatment consists of a series of small stings on the surface of the skin, which regenerate and tighten the skin.
A dermaroller is an instrument with a rotating roller that houses microneedles, usually made of titanium. The length of the microneedles is from 0.2 mm to 2.5 mm, and which will be used depends on a number of factors: the location on the body of the skin being treated, the health and elasticity of the skin, and the desired results. Dermaroller facial treatments are especially popular.
It is a minimally invasive treatment for skin rejuvenation and natural strengthening, with the percentage of collagen in the skin doubling.
Dermaroller treatment also has secondary positive effects on the skin. For example, nourishing preparations applied to the skin after dermaroller treatment have deeper penetration and are thus more effective.
Dermaroller treatment has a positive effect on:
✯ Scars
✯ Bore
✯ Stretch marks
✯ Hyperpigmentation / age spots
✯ Various skin lesions
The exact number of dermaroller treatments depends on a number of factors such as age, skin type, skin damage, etc. Very good results are achieved with just one visit, and the best results are obtained after 3 consecutive treatments, between which a time interval of 2 to 4 is required. weeks, for the skin to recover and for the effect to be complete.
Additional maintenance treatment should be applied every 3 to 6 months.
Thanks to advances in regenerative medicine, it is now possible to use sources from the human body for one’s own healing.
ENDORET (PRGF) TECHNOLOGY used in the Polyclinic enables the isolation, concentration and use of growth factors, and plasma rich in growth factors enables our proteins to rejuvenate the skin and suggests a healthier appearance.
In the field of anti-aging and facial rejuvenation treatments, the growth factor-rich plasma technique has proven to be the latest, safe and effective solution in delaying the aging process.
Filler or filler is a form of hyaluronic acid, a natural, viscous substance that we all have in our skin, a substance that coats our collagen and elastic connective fibers. Over time, the production of hyaluronic acid becomes less and less, so our skin, ie the contours of the face become sharper, rougher, and their fullness and softness is lost.
Hyaluronic dermal fillers are used to fill wrinkles in order to rejuvenate, and rehydrate and revitalize the skin, and are also used in people over 25 years of age, as a prevention of wrinkles.
By injecting hyaluronic acid into the places where the skin has lost it, ie into the places where the skin has “become inflamed” and wrinkles have formed, we get a softer, fuller, and thus younger look again. With individual, thicker fillers, we fill deeper, and less dense – shallower wrinkles. Also, fillers can be used to fill and even out small, “old” wrinkles of the skin with the method of the mentioned mesotherapy.
It is not unimportant to mention that hyaluronic acid is the so-called humectant – since it binds water molecules to itself, it enables hydration of the skin “from within”, so the skin is hydrated, full, shiny and of good tone.
Filler or filler is a form of hyaluronic acid, a natural, viscous substance that we all have in our skin, a substance that coats our collagen and elastic connective fibers.
In addition to correcting wrinkles, fillers can accentuate or enlarge the lips, always in frames that remain natural, without disturbing the basic physiognomy or facial expressions.
They are one of the most popular dermoaesthetic methods thanks to their safety, composition that is compatible with the skin, ease of application and immediately visible results.
Excessive armpit sweating (axillary hyperhidrosis) is very successfully addressed with Botox treatment.
Botox (botulinum toxin type A) is a protein that temporarily blocks the chemical signals of nerves that stimulate the sweat glands. When the sweat glands do not receive chemical signals, sweat production stops in the treated area.
The effect of Botox lasts on average up to 6 months. After that, the procedure should be repeated. Most patients request Botox therapy once a year, before the warm months of the year during which increased sweating is still the most intense and uncomfortable. The procedure takes about an hour. A local anesthetic in the form of a cream is applied to the treated armpit area. After the iodine test, which determines the area of the most intense sweating, it is marked and then Botox is injected into the marked points.
Reduction and cessation of sweating can be felt after 3-5 days, and the maximum effect is achieved in 2 weeks.
Immediately after treatment, the patient can return to their daily activities.
Varicose veins on the legs – whether it is slightly larger veins (varicose veins), or conical, small (venectasias) – can be successfully treated so-called. sclerosing therapy or popularly sclerosing.
It is a method by which the so-called a sclerosing agent that closes it (fibrosis, sclerosis), after which it is no longer visible. To achieve the result, sclerosis is repeated several times (usually 3-5 times, but with a large number of varicose veins and more) at intervals of 15-30 days. During therapy, it is necessary to wear elastic, compression stockings (which help to close the veins by pressure), which is another reason why autumn and winter are the ideal time for this treatment.
General Dermatology
The health offer of the Šlaj-Anić polyclinic includes the most modern dermatological practice under the expert guidance of Dr. Jelena Meštrović Štefekov, a specialist in dermatovenereology.
Dermatology is a branch of medicine that deals with research, prevention, diagnosis and therapy of various conditions and diseases of the skin, scalp, nails and mucous membranes. The changes we see on the skin do not have to be exclusively skin, but can also indicate some events within the body. The appearance of the skin often betrays our lifestyle, good and bad habits. The skin connects us with the environment, but also protects us from unwanted external influences, allergies, infections and UV rays.
The combination of health and aesthetics, backed by the latest medical trends, is the foundation of our dermatological offer.
Examine your skin, take care of its health and beautify your appearance.
We provide our patients with the best of professional dermatological cosmetology. We use only products that are recognized by dermatologists because of their excellent composition and thoughtful, scientifically based combination of active components in all their preparations, which is ultimately seen in the exceptional results they achieve on the skin.
⛨ Why is a mole examination important?
Mole control should be done on average once a year, but also more often if it is the following:
⛨ if a person has a so-called dysplastic nevus syndrome
⛨ if she has previously operated on a nevus that was dysplastic
⛨ if there are a large number of moles
⛨ if she or someone in the family has had melanoma surgery
⛨ if he notices changes in any of the moles in terms of growth or pigmentation
Examination, control of moles is performed by a dermatologist, not only with the naked eye, but also with a device called a dermatoscope. The dermatoscope enables a more detailed analysis of moles and today it is an indispensable part of the examination not only of moles, but also of many other skin changes.
Specialized dermatological examination for children and newborns, usually includes:
⛨ atopic dermatitis
⛨ diaper dermatitis
⛨ skin infections
⛨ early age acne
⛨ vascular malformations
⛨ allergological testing
Like any timely detection – it prevents complications and saves lives. When a suspicious, atypical mole is removed, the possibility of developing malignant melanoma is prevented. Also, if melanoma is detected at the earliest, initial stage, the cure is complete.
⛨ How moles are removed
The mole is removed by a simple procedure performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. After the injection of the local anesthetic injection, the procedure itself is painless and lasts 5-10 minutes. Immediately after the procedure, the patient goes home, and is able to continue with his usual, daily activities. Only more intense physical activities on that day, ie in the wound healing phase, should be avoided.
The healing phase lasts about 2 weeks, after which the sutures are removed. The suture removal procedure is painless and takes a few seconds.
⛨ Scars
Yes, after removing the mole and removing the sutures there is always a scar left. Depending on the location, the size of the mole we removed, the reaction of the skin – it can be discreet, barely visible, but can lag behind larger, more pronounced – in this case there are methods and means by which we can reduce it, make it less visible.
Hormonal imbalance, PCO and / or insulin resistance must be treated with appropriate hormonal tablets or hypoglycaemic tablets. In the phases of exacerbation, antibiotic tablets are introduced into the therapy, ie, in the case of more pronounced exacerbations, isotretinoin tablets (Roaccutane tbl). When determining therapy, it should always be borne in mind that these are women of reproductive age. Pregnancy, more precisely pregnancy hormones are in the vast majority of cases the best therapy for hormonal imbalance and PCO. However, in a certain number of patients, even a larger number of pregnancies does not lead to a cure.
As long as acne breaks out, it is extremely important not to allow the skin to suffer irreversibly; we have already stated that the constant outbreak of acne leaves behind scarred “furrowed” skin, which with uneven pigmentation ultimately looks older than it is chronologically, without tone, relaxed, with pronounced wrinkles, especially in the lower third of the face (U-zone “).
That is why, unlike acne in adolescence, here is an extremely important component of anti-age therapy, ie appropriate cosmetics used at home and treatments with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid, which do not allow skin deterioration. Of course, topical antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are also used in this therapy, but they are not as important as in adolescent acne; on the contrary, they often dry out and irritate the skin.
Although acne in adults is extremely frustrating due to the persistence of the process and its duration, and the fact that – “without success” – “everything has been tried”, things can still be significantly improved with adequate home care and professional treatments. Of course, do not forget about the possible causes that need to be sought and treated.
From experience I can say that patients who were forced to deal with it due to facial skin problems and did so in a disciplined manner, ultimately always look younger and better than their peers who, because they did not have any problems, never dealt with it.

Dermatological examination consists of:
⛨ Taking medical history
- review of existing medical records

- familial diseases
⛨ Complete dermatological examination
⛨ Additional diagnostics, including biopsy and laboratory sampling
⛨ Concluding remarks and determining therapy
HPV infection is a sexually transmitted and widespread disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV).
It is estimated that 60% of women during the generative age are infected with one or more than a hundred known types of HPV. The prevalence in the male population is lower, so it is difficult to prove the presence of the virus.
HPV is spread by direct contact with infected skin and mucous membranes, which do not have to be damaged for infection to occur.
The presence of HPV is proven by clinical examination, which can be urological or gynecological, and cytological or histological examinations. The existence of HPV is proven by taking a swab of the cervix or taking a swab of the urethra in a man.
No known form of treatment or treatment is completely satisfactory, condyloma recurs and requires constant medical supervision.
Venereological examination includes clinical examination of the anogenital region, examination of the entire skin and visible mucous membranes. Molecular biology methods are also used, which include testing for all the most common sexually transmitted diseases.
