About us
Mediteknia is a clinical space specialized in dermatology, dermatology and treatments related to hair loss.
Our center is headed by Dr. Francisco Javier Jiménez Acosta, one of the most recognized dermatologists worldwide in the field of hair transplants and hair pathologies. Its Dermatology unit also has Dr. Zaida Hernández and Dr. Esmeralda López, also specialists in Dermatology at the Hospital Insular de Las Palmas.
One of the objectives of Mediteknia is the commitment to the care of the skin of its patients and to innovation in the field of research on the hair follicle. At the beginning of 2015, a research laboratory was created within the Mediteknia facilities, “Mediteknia Skin & Hair Lab”, which is part of the “Medical Pathology Group of the University Institute for Research in Biomedical and Health Sciences” of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (iUIBS). This laboratory has a specialized Doctor Biologist and a laboratory technician who are in charge of carrying out the studies and research projects. In addition, we have achieved close collaboration with leading European Research Centers such as the one led by Professor Ralf Paus at the “Institute of Inflammation and Repair” at the University of Manchester, England, and the “Monasterium Laboratory” in Münster, Germany, directed by Dr. Marta Bertolini and Prof. Ralf Paus, with whom “Mediteknia Skin & Hair Lab” shares related research projects. The Laboratory signed an agreement in 2017 on research with the “Fernando Pessoa Canarias University”.
Our fundamental principles are:
-
Quality in patient care comes first: The main objective of Mediteknia is to offer the highest quality of healthcare in the field of dermatology, dermetics and hair problems. Each patient is unique, different and each pathology or treatment is personalized. We are committed to offering a patient treatment of absolute confidentiality and respect.
-
Modernity / Avant-garde: We bet to be the latest in medical knowledge and treatments, attending medical congresses continuously to incorporate new treatments is proof of this.
-
Professionalism combined with Humility:Within our personality there is no place for ostentation, arrogance and arrogance.
-
Scientific spirit: Our treatments are endorsed by the scientific community. Our purpose is not commercial, therefore we do not do treatments simply because "they are in fashion" but because they are already contrasted and validated scientifically ("medicine based on evidence").
-
Leaders in hair pathology / hair transplantation: We are experts in hair recovery treatments and our scientific spirit leads us to be up to date on new developments. We are active in several research projects on different topics related to hair pathology, either led by us or in collaboration with other research groups. Our scientific publications and participation in Congresses endorse us.
-
Proud to work in Canary Islands: Meditkenia could be in the US, Barcelona, Paris ... and why not in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria? The management is aware of this and the choice is not free.

Hair transplant
- Hair transplant with FUE
- FUT hair transplant
Image Restoration Unit
- Alopecia Post-Chemotherapy:
This type of alopecia usually begins three weeks after the start of chemotherapy. Hair is lost quickly, which causes a lot of anxiety in those who suffer from it. At Mediteknia we offer different solutions: Hair prosthesis, undetectable artificial eyebrows, Turbans and handkerchiefs for every occasion, Essential elements to be comfortable on the beach, Keratin powders for hair, shampoos and treatments for hair care during and after chemotherapy. and Image counseling in general.
Mohs surgery
Mohs surgery can be used to eliminate any basal cell carcinoma and / or squamous cell carcinoma. There are other rarer tumors also susceptible to being treated with Mohs surgery. Melanoma, however, is not an indication of this type of surgery.
Since Mohs surgery is such a specialized technique, its use is mainly focused on tumors that are difficult to remove or tumors that are at greater risk of reappearing after being treated (recurrence).
Skin cancer
As a consequence of the degree of sun exposure to which we are subjected, the increase in recent years in the incidence of skin cancer has been very significant.
There are three types of skin cancer: the most frequent is basal cell carcinoma, followed by squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
Facial rejuvenation
- Botulinum toxin
- Hyaluronic acid
- Fraxel Laser
- Q-SWITCHED ND-YAG laser
- IPL laser (pulsed light)
- Fractional ablative laser (Erbium)
- Mesotherapy
Lip filling
The material currently used is hyaluronic acid, since it is a resorbable material (the body eliminates it completely), very safe and with very few adverse reactions. Hyaluronic acid disappears slowly and progressively over a period of 6 to 12 months. We advise to perform an initial infiltration and repeat another second session after 6 months. Then the patient can repeat it once a year.
Infiltration lasts 10 minutes. It is usually filled both the upper and lower lip, and better to put a small amount initially to be naturally, being able to add more in a later session if necessary. The first 2-3 days the lip may be a little more filled with how it will later be, as there is a slight initial swelling.
Acne Scar
Acne scars are sequels that remain on the skin of the face as a result of severe inflammatory acne. Therefore the first consideration would be to treat acne in an effective way so that scars do not appear.
There is no 100% cure treatment, but there are many treatments that can greatly improve the aesthetic appearance such as Fraxel, ablative lasers, subcision, individual removal of scars, punch excision, peelings, dermabrasion, etc. .
Excessive sweating
The production of sweat is an essential function to regulate body temperature. However, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) can cause significant problems for the sufferer.
Some people sweat so much in the hands and / or in the armpits that can condition their work and social life. For this there are two effective remedies, one non-surgical and temporary, botulinum toxin, and another, definitive and surgical, thoracic sympathectomy.
Treatment of varicose veins and vascular surgery
We have a "Sclerotherapy and Varicose Veins Unit" in the Mediteknia clinic, directed by Dr. Julio Agredo, a MIR specialist in cardiovascular surgery, with great experience not only in Canary Islands but also in the peninsula and abroad.
The diagnosis of these venous diseases such as spider veins, varicose veins and varicose veins of medium size is made with Doppler ultrasound to assess the venous system of each patient.
The treatment that is applied is through sclerotherapy with microfoam. This technique consists of intravenous injections of sclerosing substance, which causes the diseased vein to dry, heal and disappear. It is a fairly safe technique with a high percentage of effectiveness (80-90%). This procedure is ambulatory, since it does not require anesthesia and the patient leaves the center by his own foot.
Peeling
The peelings are used in order to improve the general appearance of the skin and lighten skin pigmentations. Superficial peels attenuate wrinkles.
-
-
- Alphahydroxy acids (glycolic peeling)
- Peels with salicylic acid
- Peels with trichloroacetic acid
-
Tattoo removal
Today tattoos have become fashionable. They are permanent drawings that are made by introducing ink into the skin with special needles. Recent studies show that almost half of people who get a tattoo regret it after 5-10 years. Although the tattoo is permanent, there is now a laser method that achieves its removal without scarring.
Diode laser body hair removal
Any of the lasers allows hair to be removed temporarily, but not all hair removal lasers are the same. According to recent studies, the Lightsheer diode laser achieves permanent hair removal on a high percentage of hair follicles, being also a safer laser than Alexandrite to treat dark skin.
The results with this laser are very good, achieving long-term hair removal in all cases and permanent in axillary hair, English, legs, back, etc.
The treatments of laser hair removal must be individualized according to the characteristics of the skin and hair of each patient. The effectiveness of the diode laser to remove the hair depends on several factors such as the color of the skin and hair (ideal in clear skin and dark hair), hair thickness (better in thick hair than in fluff).
Hydrafacial
It is a Flash treatment that not only improves the appearance, but also helps you to recover youth and health in the skin. Hydrafacial treatment combines relaxing and revitalizing spa therapies with advanced medical technology to achieve instant and lasting results.
-

-
Cleaning and Exfoliation: dead skin cells are removed to reveal new and healthy skin.
-
Acid Exfoliation: This gentle exfoliation helps to loosen dirt and the remnants of creams and makeup from the pores without causing irritation.
-
Extractions: Automatic and painless extraction by suction to clean the pores.
-
Hydration: Anti-oxidants and hyaluronic acid are placed to nourish and protoger.

Scientific area: Mediteknia Skin & Hair Lab
At the beginning of 2015, a research laboratory was created within the Mediteknia facilities in search of new projects in our field, “Mediteknia Skin & Hair Lab”. This laboratory has a specialized Doctor Biologist and a laboratory technician who are in charge of carrying out the studies and research projects.
Our laboratory is part of the "Medical Pathology Group of the University Institute for Research in Biomedical and Health Sciences" of the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (iUIBS). We also collaborate with leading European Research Centers such as the one led by Professor Ralf Paus at the “Institute of Inflammation and Repair” at the University of Manchester, England, and the “Monasterium Laboratory” in Münster, Germany, directed by Dr. Marta Bertolini and Prof. Ralf Paus, with whom “Mediteknia Skin & Hair Lab” shares related research projects. Our laboratory also collaborates regularly with Professor Enrique Poblet of the Department of Pathology of the University of Murcia and with Prof. Ander Izeta, Cell Biologist and leader of the Department of Tissue Engineering of the Biodonostia Institute of San Sebastián. In 2017 this Laboratory signed an agreement on research with the “Fernando Pessoa University”.
It should be noted that "Mediteknia Skin & Hair Lab" is the Clinical Trials Unit of the aforementioned German Laboratory "Monasterium Laboratory". So far, two clinical trials have been conducted in about 100 patients with the aim of showing the efficacy of some innovative products to stimulate hair growth. The latest clinical trial of a hair lotion with synthetic derivative of Sandalwood oil called "Sandalore" had a great impact. It has been shown that it stimulates the olfactory receptors of the hair, stimulating the growth of the hair follicle and reducing the daily hair loss.
