Ivo Pitanguy: Rio In a Jar
Clinica Ivo Pitanguy in Rio de Janiero
Professor Ivo Pitanguy, often called the world’s most distinguished plastic surgeon, is a national hero in Brazil, where the fabled Clinica Ivo Pitanguy has treated royals, movie stars and heads of state in pursuit of aesthetic greatness for over 40 years. The Clinica in Rio de Janeiro incorporates medical and academic facilities as well as a sumptuous spa utilizing a proprietary skincare line.
Dr. Gisela Pitanguy, the professor’s daughter, is director of the Clinica and a psychotherapist. She led the team of surgeons, biologists, nutritionists and dermatologists who developed the creams and serums, which are made in Switzerland. And for years Beauty by Clinica Ivo Pitanguy was available to Clinica patients only.
Specifics Ultimate Repair Cream
The newest addition to the line is Specifics Ultimate Repair Cream (1.7 ounces, $330) for skin that has lost the ability to repair itself due to overwork, environmental stress or age. It features a combination of biopeptides and pure gold that wraps and strengthens collagen fibers to redensify skin and fill deep wrinkles.
