Aleksandra Szlachcic

Profile

I am a specialist in Dermatology and Venereology with more than 30 years of professional experience in the diagnosis and treatment of skin diseases, as well as in advanced laser therapies. I graduated from the Nicolaus Copernicus Medical Academy and subsequently continued my academic development at the Jagiellonian University Medical College in Kraków, where I earned a PhD in Medical Sciences and, in 2014, obtained the postdoctoral degree in Medical Sciences.

Since 1994, I have been affiliated with the Dermatology Clinic of Medistica Osteomed, where I have been responsible for the diagnosis and treatment of patients. Since 2017, I have also worked at the clinic’s new branch, Medistica Medicine + Beauty, where I serve as Medical Director.

For many years, I have been actively involved in medical education, contributing to the training of physicians and medical students. As a lecturer at my alma mater, I support the development of future healthcare professionals by combining academic work with extensive clinical practice.

For me, laser therapy represents the intersection of medical precision, technology, and aesthetics. It enables effective treatment of skin aging, scars, pigmentation disorders, vascular lesions, and conditions requiring advanced skin regeneration. For over 25 years, laser therapy has been one of the key areas of my professional practice. I utilize advanced, certified medical technologies, including CO₂, picosecond, Er, Nd lasers, and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) systems. Through extensive experience and an individualized approach, I tailor treatment plans to ensure both safety and optimal therapeutic and regenerative outcomes. I also share my expertise and clinical experience through physician training programs and conferences dedicated to modern laser technologies.
