Anti-aging medicine
Anti-aging medicine represents a new way to care for healthy and dignified aging. It has a preventive character and contributes to the establishment of balance in the organism where it is disturbed, or serves as a support for a healthy organism to remain that way for a long time. We live longer and longer. Life expectancy increases by three months every year, and diseases increase as we age. The mission of anti-aging medicine is to reduce the possibility of disease and increase life expectancy, which requires new tools, new therapeutic agents, new ways of prediction and prevention.
Preventive medicine
Preventive medicine is a branch of medicine that delays or prevents the onset of disease and affects the overall quality of health. Environmental factors, genetic predisposition and lifestyle affect the state of body and mind, and by understanding them certain recommendations and measures can be given for a better quality of life.
Regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine is a branch of medicine that develops therapies for the regrowth, restoration or replacement of damaged or diseased cells, organs or tissues. Regenerative medicine is based on a multidisciplinary approach whose therapies lead to the acceleration of physiological processes aimed at faster and more efficient healing. At the IOANNA REGEN Clinic, a team of specialist doctors, based on the patient's overall health condition, uses personalized therapy to determine and target the region to be treated for the best results.
The patient's blood is used for the therapy without the addition of any drugs, substances or additives in the entire process. This method improves communication and activation of cells at the site of injury and thus facilitates regeneration. Natural proteins found primarily in platelets, and an excellent source of natural growth factors is human platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
Contraindications for the application of regenerative therapy are patients with:
• Malignant disease
• Systemic blood disease
• Acute infectious condition
As part of PREVENTIVE, REGENERATIVE AND ANTI-AGING MEDICINE, we apply:
• 4P Anti-aging method
• Infusion supplementation
• Dermatology
• Cardiology
• Endocrinology
• Diet therapy - treatment with nutrition
• Genetics
4P Anti-aging method
Anti-aging medicine represents a new way to care for healthy and dignified aging. It has a preventive character and contributes to the establishment of balance in the organism where it is disturbed, or serves as a support for a healthy organism to remain that way for a long time. 4P represents the medicine of beautiful and healthy aging or longevity. It was designed by an expert associate of the REGENA polyclinic, the president of the World Association of Anti-aging Medicine, Dr. Claude Dalle from France. It is fully integrative medicine, which includes and uses all tests and radiology, genetic tests, telomeres, neurotransmitters... This approach connects your genes with your lifestyle and suggests how to improve your health and prolong your health.
Medicine for Beautiful and Healthy Aging 4P can only be applied by an anti-aging specialist and it includes:
• 1P – PREVENTION of diseases and pathological conditions of the body
• 2P - PREDICTION or prediction of potential metabolic and functional disorders
• 3P - PERSONALIZATION in the creation of therapy that is exclusively individual
• 4P - PARTICIPATION, which implies the active participation of the patient in the therapy process
Infusion supplementation
Infusion supplementation in the developed world has become inevitable. Dr. Ioanna Batsialou designed an infusion therapy that, along with rapid hydration with a suitable physiological solution with dissolved supplements, ensures a rapid replenishment of everything necessary for maintaining health and their availability to every cell of the body. Infusions provide rapid positive effects without pathological consequences, accelerated detoxification, maintenance of health and condition, provides strong support to the edogenic antioxidant system, acts as an antioxidant, increases the immune capabilities of the organism, regulates mitochondrial activity, contributes to telemerase activity, reduces fatigue, contributes to the establishment of the circadian rhythm primarily the relationship between wakefulness and sleep, helps in the treatment of obesity, endothelial activity and normal functioning of the heart and blood vessels, contributes to the stabilization of the excitability of cells of irritable tissues.
Types of infusion supplementation at the REGENA polyclinic:

Dermatology
• Dermatovenerology or dermatology is a branch of medicine that deals with the health of the skin and mucous membranes, hair and nails. A dermatologist takes care of diseases in the broadest sense of the word, as well as some cosmetic problems of the skin, hair and nails.
• Dermatology as a science uses various preventive and regenerative methods in order to slow down the aging process on the one hand, and on the other hand to rejuvenate the skin in old age. Those methods can be non-invasive and applicable in the form of creams and gels that act superficially on the skin, but also on the subcutaneous tissue.
• Laser therapy has primacy for safety and effectiveness in modern dermatological therapy. Their advantage is exceptional precision and minimal recovery time, so you can return to your daily activities in a short time. Lasers are used for a variety of purposes and can be used to treat almost any dermatological problem.
• For the purpose of biorejuvenation of the skin, it is recommended to combine the laser with therapies such as collagen stimulators, vitamin boosters, mesotherapy cocktails and PRP treatments with blood plasma.
• To achieve optimal dermatological results, it is necessary to combine methods and therapies.
• Modern dermatological practice includes the use of hyaluronic fillers to compensate for lost volume and botulinum toxin to resolve dynamic wrinkles. In men, but also in women, the problem of hair loss - alopecia - is becoming more common. With adequate therapy of alopecia, in order to stimulate hair growth, techniques that are also used in rejuvenation such as PRP and microneedling methods can be used, as well as with adequate supplementation and application of medical shampoos and lotions.
• Before any treatments and therapies, a thorough dermatological examination with dermatoscopy and trichoscopy is necessary in order to identify the problem and determine the most effective method for solving it.
Cardiology
Cardiology is a field of internal medicine that studies diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Cardiology includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, vulvular heart disease and electrophysiology.
THE APPEARANCE OF SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS IN APPARENTLY HEALTHY PERSONS INDICATING THAT THE FUNCTION OF THE HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS NEED TO BE CHECKED:

• Physical activity tips
RECOMMENDATION: ALL PATIENTS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED COVID ONCE A YEAR SHOULD HAVE A CONSULTATION WITH A CARDIOLOGIST, ESPECIALLY PATIENTS WHO HAVE RISK FACTORS FOR DISEASES OF THE HEART AND BLOOD VESSELS.
Endocrinology
Endocrinology is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the endocrine system and hormones in the entire organism. The endocrine system is a system of glands that, under the influence of external and internal factors, synthesize hormones that regulate metabolism, sexual activities, growth, the amount of water and minerals in the body, etc. Endocrine glands are EPIPHYSIS, PITUITARY GLAND, THYROID GLAND, BREAST GLAND, ADRENAL GLAND, PANCREAS, OVARIES, TESTICS.
PATIENTS WITH A DEVELOPED CLINICAL PICTURE (with established diagnosis):
• Diabetes
• Insulin resistance
• Infertility in women and men

• Obesity
• Polycystic ovaries
• Menopause problems
• Andropause (fall in testosterone levels)
• Disturbance of the level and lipids in the blood
• Disorder of cortisol, adrenaline (stress hormone)
• Prolactin disorder
• Growth hormone disorder
The appearance of signs and symptoms in apparently healthy people that indicate that it is necessary to check the hormonal status of the entire organism or individual organs:
• Feeling of lack of energy
• Mood swings
• Increased appetite
• Increased sweating
• Sleep disturbance
• Acne
• Weight gain in the abdominal area
• Disorder of the menstrual cycle
• The need for carbohydrates during the night
• Fluid retention in the body
The goal of the therapy is to restore the overall health balance, the feeling of energy and increase the capacity for physical activity, to enable the correction of body weight and body shaping through exercise, to improve the elasticity of the skin - to FEEL SATISFIED.
Diet therapy
Medical diet therapy is a method of treatment with nutrition prescribed by a doctor with an authorized license, that is, a dietitian, which distinguishes him from a nutritionist or dietician.
A dietitian makes a nutritional diagnosis, that is, recognizes a problem that requires dietary intervention. Also, the dietitian collaborates with other specialist doctors - endocrinologist, cardiologist, oncologist, dermatologist, etc. within the framework of a multidisciplinary (team) approach in which nutritional therapy is an integral part of therapy with the aim of correcting and reducing or completely canceling drug therapy over time.
Examination with a dietitian includes:
• Anamnesis
• Survey of eating habits
• Measurement
• Analysis and synthesis of the obtained data
• Blood analysis
• They find other specialist doctors
A structured diet plan includes:
• A personalized/individual plan consisting of previous examinations
• Your personal habits
• Socio-cultural environment
• Dietary preferences, what are your preferences in your daily diet
• List of foods with their practical method of preparation, recommended quantity, number of meals and time of consumption
• Dietitian advice which can be general or a thorough 7-day diet plan can be prescribed
Who needs diet therapy:
• Emotional overeating
• Night eating
• Postoperative conditions
• Oncological conditions
• Impairment of kidney function
• Recurrence of infections
• Frequent use of antibiotics
• Prolonged or repeated COVID
• Hypertension
• Body weight disorder (overweight and underweight)
• Obesity or obesity
• Disturbance of blood sugar level, diabetes
• Insulin resistance
• Disorder of fat and lipid status (cholesterol and triglycerides)
• Family planning, pregnant women and nursing mothers
• Anti-aging nutrition to preserve the body's vitality
• Proper growth and development in children and adolescents - Sudden changes not only in weight but also in the distribution of adipose tissue, thinness and small muscle mass - especially in young men
• Nutrition of athletes (active and recreational)
• Nutrition for people with a special professional environment
• Bariatric surgery (gastric bypass, balloon placement)
• Menopause and premenopause - Changes in body structure, redistribution of fat tissue in the upper parts of the body and around the waist, reduced muscle mass and increased fluid retention.
These changes can be stopped, mitigated and reversed by timely dietary intervention!
THE METHOD OF DR JAGODA JORGE INCLUDES:
• A diverse selection of foods
• Optimal mutual balance
• Portion control for ideal intake of essential nutrients by stages
• Clearly set and defined goals
• Periodic monitoring and measurement
• Cooperation with other specialists and surgeons
• Never harm the patient - primum non nocere
• The dose itself makes the poison - the selection of the amount of food that is consumed
The success of diet therapy is the return of all parameters to their initial, healthy state and direction towards proper maintenance of the diet in the future. At the REGENA polyclinic, prof. Dr. Jagoda Jorga uses the most modern technology for diagnostics - a medical InBody scale that provides a precise analysis of body composition.
Genetics
GENETIC ANALYSIS or DNA testing is one of the medical areas of health care that, by testing genes, provides the patient with the opportunity to receive a comprehensive diagnosis necessary for proper and timely selection:
• treatment
• supplementation
• nutrition
Genetic testing is done ONCE IN A LIFETIME and does not need to be repeated, and this high-quality and thorough analysis can be done by young or old, healthy or sick people. The process of genetic analysis is precisely defined, confidential and unique.
Acute, chronic, or CURRENT DISEASES DO NOT AFFECT THE RESULTS OF THE ANALYSIS, as genetic testing provides insight into the initial status of the organism, its preferences and predispositions.
PREVENTIVE GENETICS deals with the connection of human genetic characteristics with food and lifestyle habits, detection of genetic vulnerabilities and strengths, individual needs for supplements, methods of detoxification of the organism, all for the purpose of early detection and prevention of certain diseases.
Prevention is good - targeted prevention is even better! Genetic testing is necessary, but not the only element needed to implement an effective personalized program. These results must always be analyzed in combination with the patient's clinical and personal data, and the recommendations are specific and highly personalized.
Using personalized genetic expertise, a nutrigeneticist will suggest exactly what you need to do to effectively protect yourself from various disorders such as:
• Fatigue
• Thickness
• Diabetes
• Most malignant tumors
• Allergies
• Cardiovascular risk
• Premature aging
• Osteoporosis
Nutrigenetic analysis provides insight and enables highly personalized information about the possibilities of preventing various diseases and disorders caused by the environment (malignant tumors, chronic fatigue, allergies, endometriosis, etc.) through personalized nutrition. The analysis of 8+2 genes, depending on the genetic status in the family, gives insight into health problems such as:
• lactose intolerance
• increased body weight index
• fat metabolism
• carbohydrates
• the intensity of the metabolism itself
• status of intestinal flora
• the intensity and type of physical activity is defined for people who practice sports recreationally
Through pharmacogenetic analysis, a genetic identity card of drugs is obtained, which provides an optimal, individualized possibility of treatment. This once-in-a-lifetime analysis is intended for people who:
• Before health problems appear, they want to know their reactions to medicines
• They often change therapy
• Medicines often cause unwanted side effects
• They use multiple drugs and need a combination of drugs to achieve an adequate therapeutic response
• They want the most accurate and efficient prescription of therapy, without wasting precious time "finding" the drug to achieve the best therapeutic response
Dermatogenetic analysis determines the initial status of the skin, care preferences and predispositions to aging and renewal of this largest human organ.
What is the genetic capacity of your skin?
How does it react to UV rays, pollution, aging?
The data written in the genes helps to choose the most effective antioxidant or vitamin, helps the best way to protect the skin.
By analyzing telomeres, you can find out your "cellular age". People with longer telomeres live better and healthier lives, that is, diseases associated with aging are absent or appear much later in life. In addition to genetic inheritance, telomere shortening is also influenced by external factors, diet, physical activity, stress...
With adequate nutrition and supplementation, we can activate TELOMERASE, that is, a specific enzyme that can slow down or stop the shortening of telomeres, and even affect their lengthening. In this way, we can influence a better quality of life.
