There's a particular kind of confidence that comes from working with someone who truly understands faces—not just aesthetically, but anatomically, structurally, down to how tissues age and respond over time.
Dr. Riikka brings that understanding to every consultation at Medex.
A Foundation Built on Excellence
Her credentials tell part of the story: authorized as a medical practitioner in 1998, she completed her doctoral thesis at Karolinska Institutet in 1999 and became a specialist in plastic surgery by 2005—at the time, the youngest surgeon in Sweden to reach that milestone. Her career spans over two decades in both aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, including her tenure as a specialist at Akademikliniken.
But credentials alone don't capture what makes her approach different.
Her research background covers breast cancer, bone regeneration, facial aging, and the psychological dimensions of aesthetic treatments. She's contributed to board and academic work with SFEP and reconstructive oncology teams, participates actively in medical congresses, and maintains continuous training. Full patient insurance and regularly updated competency are a given.
Yet what clients remember most is how she made them feel: heard, understood, safe.
Beauty Without Templates
At Medex, there's no such thing as a standard treatment protocol. No trend-driven formulas. No pressure to look like anyone but yourself.
Dr. Riikka begins every consultation by listening. Then she evaluates. Only after understanding your unique facial structure, aging patterns, and personal goals does she recommend a treatment plan—one built around what will genuinely enhance your natural features, not reshape them.
Clients often mention this is the first time they've truly understood their own face: the proportions, the structure, what's actually possible to improve safely and effectively.
The Truth Comes First
Before discussing any procedure, Riikka tells you what will work, what won't, and why. Her aim isn't to sell treatments—it's to educate. She explains your options with clarity and kindness, without pressure or upselling.
This honest assessment forms the foundation of trust that keeps clients returning.
Invisible Results, Noticeable Confidence
Great aesthetic work doesn't announce itself. It doesn't follow the exaggerated "look" or aim for dramatic transformation.
Instead, Dr. Riikka focuses on subtle, intelligent adjustments: a fresher expression, softer lines, improved facial balance. The kind of changes that make you look rested. The kind of beauty that feels aligned with who you actually are.
Her surgical background gives her an advantage most injectors simply don't have. She understands facial anatomy at a depth that informs every placement, every measurement, every decision. It's not about adding volume—it's about restoring proportion, improving structure, enhancing expression.
Precision Over Quantity
Anyone can inject filler. Very few know exactly where, how much, and to what end.
Riikka's technique centers on micro-precision rather than overfilling. She uses toxins and fillers as tools to support your natural structure—never to change the fundamental character of your face.
Planning Beyond the Appointment
A single treatment is never the whole story. Dr. Riikka thinks in timelines: how your face will age, how tissues behave over years, how to maintain natural beauty sustainably.
Together, you build a long-term aesthetic plan—a roadmap that might include prevention, structural support, skin quality improvement, and careful rejuvenation. This approach ensures results that stay balanced, age gracefully, and never look overdone.
Your Experience, From Start to Finish
You don't need to arrive knowing which treatment is right for you—that's Dr. Riikka's responsibility.
At every appointment, she performs a complete facial analysis, discusses your goals, and recommends only what genuinely benefits you. Decisions are made together. Nothing is rushed or predetermined.
And you're never left alone afterward. Medex is available 365 days a year—before treatment, during recovery, and long after.
A Human Perspective
Dr. Riikka's expertise isn't purely clinical. As a mother of three, she carries a deep sensitivity for how bodies change, how self-perception shifts with time, and how meaningful it is to feel confident in your own skin again.
Her experience is both formal and deeply human.
That combination—surgical precision, honest guidance, and genuine care—is what clients describe when they explain why they trust her, return to her, and recommend her without hesitation.
