About MedSpa Delicate

MedSpa Delicate is a medical aesthetics and wellness clinic in Tibás, part of the greater San José area of Costa Rica. The clinic focuses on aesthetic medicine, rejuvenation, physical therapy, general medicine, plastic surgery, and reconstructive surgery, giving patients access to both surgical and non-surgical care in one setting.

Available treatments include facial rejuvenation, platelet-rich plasma or PRP therapy, Botox, dermal fillers, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, body contouring, liposuction, facelifts, arm lifts, body lifts, buttock lift procedures, and mommy makeover surgery. In simple terms, the clinic combines skin treatments, injectables, body shaping procedures, and selected plastic surgery options for patients who want cosmetic improvement, recovery support, or a more comprehensive treatment plan.

The clinic’s approach is modern and technique-driven, with care overseen by experienced medical professionals. For international patients, that matters because many people looking at treatment in Costa Rica want a clinic that can handle both consultation and follow-up in a straightforward, organized way. The setting in Tibás also places patients within the San José metro area, where hotels, pharmacies, transport services, and private hospitals are relatively easy to access.

Amenities listed for patients include free Wi-Fi, free water, free parking, and wheelchair access. These details are small, but they can make visits more comfortable, especially for patients coming in for multiple appointments or post-procedure follow-up.

 

Medical Team

 

The medical team includes plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Miguel Alfaro Davilla, who has more than 40 years of experience. His training includes study at the University of Costa Rica, the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and the University of Missouri. His clinical work includes rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, tummy tuck procedures, ear reconstruction, face and neck lifts, and reconstructive surgery.

The team also includes Dr. Mónica Alfaro Escalante, a bilingual physician who speaks English and Spanish. She is listed as a member of the Costa Rican College of Physicians and holds a Doctor of Medicine degree. For patients traveling from abroad, bilingual communication can make a real difference when discussing goals, paperwork, recovery instructions, and practical planning.

 

Treatments and Patient Experience


MedSpa Delicate offers a broad mix of treatment categories rather than focusing on only one procedure type. Patients interested in non-surgical skin care can ask about PRP, Botox, fillers, chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and hydration-based rejuvenation options. Patients looking for surgery can ask about facelift procedures, liposuction, body contouring, buttock lift procedures, arm lift surgery, body lift surgery, and mommy makeover treatment plans.

The clinic also offers a non-surgical body contouring approach that combines radio frequency, lymphatic drainage, and cell stimulation. In everyday language, that means treatment designed to target skin texture, swelling, and body contour without traditional surgery. This may appeal to patients who want less downtime or who are not ready for an operation.
