Be You — Authentically
With plastic surgeon Dr. Riikka Veltheim at Medex Beauty Clinic, every treatment begins with your own features — and keeps them. The goal is you, looking rested and like yourself.
You meet a doctor who examines, listens, and plans, then guides you toward a refined, natural result — the kind that reads like a good night's sleep, a long holiday, or a week when life simply felt lighter.
Your face is unique. So is your story.
Introducing Dr. Riikka Veltheim
When expertise matters
Dr. Riikka Veltheim is a specialist in plastic surgery (MD, PhD), with more than 20 years in medicine. She completed her specialist training in Sweden and Finland and has cared for thousands of patients. She consults in Finnish, Swedish, and English.
Her work spans both reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, and she has contributed to research at Karolinska Institutet. At Medex she focuses on one thing: advanced injectable treatments — Botox, skinboosters, fillers, Profhilo, PRX-T33, PRP, thread lifts, and intimate-area rejuvenation.
That surgical background is what you feel in the details: where to place, how much, and when to stop.
Riikka’s Philosophy
Dr. Veltheim reads a face the way a surgeon does — structure, proportion, the way it moves. She refines; she doesn't overfill. Every plan is built around your features and your wishes, to bring out what's already there.
"Our role is to reveal your fullest, most authentic expression of yourself."

Clear prices, one set of hands
Aesthetic medicine can be inconsistent, and price is a poor guide to quality. Medex keeps it simple: every treatment is named, every price is in plain sight, and every injection is performed by Dr. Veltheim herself.
You'll find the full list on our Services page. After your consultation, you'll know exactly which treatment is right for you — and what it costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers our clients find most helpful.
Will Dr. Riikka perform my treatment, or a nurse?
Yes — every injectable treatment at Medex is performed exclusively by Dr. Riikka Veltheim.
You are always in the hands of a licensed medical doctor and specialist in plastic surgery, from consultation to treatment and follow-up.
This ensures precision, safety, and personal attention — the standard we believe every client deserves.
Is Botox only for the face?
No. While Botox is widely known for softening facial lines, it can also be used in several other areas of the body.
In medical aesthetics, Botox is commonly applied to:
- The armpits to reduce excessive sweating
- The palms or feet for hyperhidrosis
- The jaw for muscle relaxation
- The neck for tightening and smoothing
In the right hands, Botox is a versatile tool used to relax overactive muscles and improve comfort as well as appearance. It can be even used to treat headaches.
Are fillers used only on the face and neck?
Not at all. Dermal fillers are designed to restore volume, hydrate tissues, and support areas where structure or elasticity has decreased — and this applies to several parts of the body.
Beyond facial balancing, fillers may also be used on:
- Hands (to restore volume and smoothness)
- Knees and elbows (for crepey or lax skin)
- Décolleté (for fine lines)
- Certain scars or stretchmarks
- Intimate areas for feminine wellness
They help anywhere tissue has thinned or lost hydration over time.
Do I need to know which treatment I want before booking?
No — that’s exactly what the consultation is for.
You don’t need to choose from a menu or arrive with a plan.
During your visit, Dr. Riikka will:
- Listen to your goals
- Examine your facial & body features and tissue quality
- Explain what is possible and what is not
- Recommend the safest, most natural-looking approach
Every treatment is personalized. Decisions are made together — calmly, thoughtfully, and without pressure.
