Mara Herequechand Advanced Aesthetics

Mara Herequechand Advanced Aesthetics is a standalone medical-aesthetics and anti-aging clinic in Quarteira, run by Mara Herequechand. The clinic is based on Rua Vasco da Gama and focuses on non-surgical facial and body treatments, working from an individualised diagnosis for each client. Treatments include non-surgical blepharoplasty (aimed at deep wrinkles and sunken eyes without surgery), a Korean-style skin rejuvenation technique for reducing dark circles, blemishes and expression lines, the Bioplant/Bioplacenta facial rejuvenation technique based on human placenta extract, and microneedling for skin texture and fine lines. The clinic also offers a body-sculpting treatment using muscle-stimulation technology, which its own marketing materials describe as delivering up to 30,000 muscle contractions per session, with published average results including a 16% increase in muscle mass and a 19% reduction in body fat, and a Phoenix500 Sapphire radiofrequency system for skin tightening, described on site as painless and requiring no anaesthesia or recovery time. Appointments can be requested by phone, email or through the clinic's Instagram page.
