Per Hedén
After specialising in plastic surgery, Per Hedén spent some time in Australia, where he trained in microsurgery - a new technology that gradually revolutionised plastic surgery. Back in Sweden, he pioneered microsurgery in the early 1980s in Stockholm.

We are here for you
As we age, our skin becomes thinner, less radiant and supple, and appears flatter and more wrinkled. Wrinkles around the mouth and eyes are common signs of ageing, as are bags and dark circles under the eyes. Most signs of ageing on the face are due to the loss of hyaluronic acid (naturally present in the skin) as we get older.
