Clínica Vieira at a Glance

Clinic Overview

Clínica Vieira is an aesthetic medicine clinic in Barcelona's Balmes district, operating under the clinical direction of Dr. Fabio Vieira, who leads a multidisciplinary team of medical professionals and personally supervises all high-precision procedures, including chemical peelings, rhinomodulation, and advanced laser applications. The clinic's model is built on individualized assessment: before any advanced protocol, a mandatory medical evaluation is conducted to define the treatment plan based on the patient's anatomy, skin type, and clinical objectives, not a generic protocol applied uniformly.

The clinic serves patients from their mid-twenties addressing early expression lines through patients in their sixties seeking non-surgical lifting and volume restoration. Clinical volume at this scale over 2,000 dark circle cases and thousands of body contouring and vein treatment cases managed across all units means treatment decisions are informed by direct outcome data rather than isolated case experience.

Treatments and Services

Clínica Vieira offers non-surgical outpatient treatments across four categories. Most sessions allow same-day returns to daily activities.

• Facial Aesthetic Treatments: facial harmonization (full face), rhinomodulation (non-surgical nose reshaping), Ultherapy Prime (focused ultrasound lifting), dark circle correction, expression wrinkle treatment, lip augmentation, jawline definition, chin augmentation, Skinboosters (deep dermal hydration), facial vitamins, and bruxism treatment via masseter injection.
• Body Treatments: Intralipotherapy with Aqualyx (injectable fat reduction), sclerotherapy (spider and varicose vein elimination), carboxitherapy (CO₂ injection for cellulite and fat), and a combined cellulite protocol using shockwaves, radiofrequency, maderotherapy, and pressotherapy.
• Advanced Regenerative Treatments: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, tensioning threads (polylactic acid thread lifting), microneedling with active principle infusion, and Hydraglow (medical-aesthetic facial hygiene).
• Laser Unit Treatments: tattoo removal via Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, melasma reduction protocol, actinic keratosis ablation, and an acne and rosacea combined laser platform.
