We are the 1st private health institution to have this unit and also the 1st specialized private unit in Peru. “With this unit we are going to improve the quality of life of many people who for various reasons today feel limited and cannot carry out their activities normally. Our specialists have a lot of experience in this field ”, says the BA.

What technique is used and how often is the curing carried out?

The technique used is advanced healing and is based on the principle of the humid environment, using high-tech dressings that promote healing by stimulating the microenvironment of the wound. These healings are painless and are carried out every 3 to 6 days depending on the type of wound. With these techniques we become a specialized support for medical treatments that compromise skin injuries.
