Overview

A single-specialist clinic, on purpose

Dr. Emil Henningsen is opening a clinic in Marbella. It is built around one specialist treating one group of problems, which is the only arrangement under which the work described on this site is actually possible.

Most aesthetic clinics are organised around capacity: several practitioners, a wide menu, appointments measured in fifteen-minute slots. That model works for treatments that are quick and standardised. It does not work for scar revision, where the consultation determines the outcome more than the device does, and where a single session can combine three procedures and run to three hours.

So the Marbella clinic is small. Dr. Henningsen sees his own patients, plans his own sequences and performs his own procedures. There is no delegation to a nurse injector and no treatment on the day of the first consultation, because a plan made in the same hour it is executed is not a plan.

The premises are being prepared now, on the Costa del Sol and within about forty-five minutes of Málaga airport. Consultations can be arranged in advance of opening, and everyone who registers an interest is contacted personally as soon as dates are confirmed.

Why Marbella

Where the patients already were

The decision followed the practice rather than leading it. Patients have been travelling to Dr. Henningsen’s Danish clinics from across Europe, the United States, Asia and Africa for years, and a significant number of them were already flying over or through southern Spain.

The Costa del Sol has the two things international treatment actually needs: an airport with direct connections to most of Europe, and a place people are willing to spend three or four days while skin settles. Scar revision is not a same-day procedure with a same-day flight home. Somewhere you would choose to recover is not a luxury in this speciality; it changes whether people complete the course at all.

The Danish clinics continue. Dr. Henningsen practises at Cutis Clinic in Copenhagen, Odense, Køge and Aarhus, and patients who start in one country can be reviewed in the other.

What is treated here

The clinic’s two disciplines

Scar revision

Acne scarring, surgical and traumatic scars, keloids and complex revision of scars that have already been treated elsewhere. More than half of the practice.

Skin longevity

Collagen bio-stimulation, skin quality and texture, pigmentation and redness — the structural maintenance of skin rather than the cosmetic correction of it.

Questions

Ask a question
  • When does the Marbella clinic open?

    The premises are being prepared and the opening date will be published here as soon as it is confirmed. If you register an interest now you will be contacted personally before it is announced publicly.

  • Can I book an appointment already?

    You can start the process. Consultations can be arranged now, and several patients plan their first session around the opening. Nothing is charged until a date is agreed.

  • Will Dr. Henningsen still practise in Denmark?

    Yes. He continues at Cutis Clinic in Copenhagen, Odense, Køge and Aarhus. Patients are seen in whichever country suits their travel, and treatment started in one can be reviewed in the other.

  • Is treatment performed by Dr. Henningsen personally?

    Yes. Consultation, planning and procedure are all performed by him. That is the reason the clinic is small and the reason the calendar is booked some months ahead.

  • What language is the clinic run in?

    English, and Danish or the other Scandinavian languages where that is easier. Consultations for international patients are conducted in English as standard.
