Aesthetic medicine for diplomats and expats in Brasília
A fully English-speaking aesthetic practice in Lago Sul — the same international brands, the same clinical standards, at a fraction of the cost you are accustomed to at home.
Book ConsultationThe same standard of care — delivered in English, in Brasília
Yes — you can receive the same calibre of aesthetic medicine in Brasília that you would expect in New York, London, or Zurich. The products are identical: Allergan, Galderma, Merz, Sinclair, InMode, and Classys distribute their CE- and FDA-cleared portfolios to accredited Brazilian clinics under the same regulatory controls applied internationally.
What changes is the cost and the context. Brazil's healthcare economy means that equivalent procedures are priced 40 to 60 per cent below what you would pay in Western Europe or North America — not because standards are lower, but because operating costs, labour markets, and taxation structures differ substantially.
Dr. Perfeito conducts consultations entirely in English and has trained alongside international faculty. The clinical framework at INTI clinic follows evidence-based protocols recognised by international aesthetic medicine societies. Every treatment plan begins with a thorough assessment of your medical history, your aesthetic goals, and what your treating physician at home has done previously, so continuity of care is maintained rather than disrupted by your posting in Brasília.
Procedures most requested by the international community in Brasília
The following treatments are most frequently requested by diplomatic and expatriate patients. All products listed are the same brands available in your home country, imported through official Brazilian distributors.
- Botulinum toxin (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin) — neuromodulation for dynamic lines of the face and neck. Approximate cost in Brasília: 40-55% below equivalent pricing in London or New York.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers (Restylane family, Juvéderm family, Belotero) — volumisation, contouring, and hydration across facial and lip zones.
- Collagen biostimulators — Sculptra (PLLA, Galderma), Radiesse (CaHA, Merz), HarmonyCa (hybrid, Allergan) — regenerative treatments that rebuild structural collagen over weeks to months.
- Morpheus8 (RF microneedling, InMode) — skin tightening and textural improvement for face and body.
- Ultraformer MPT (HIFU, Classys) — non-surgical lifting via focused ultrasound energy. No downtime.
- Regenerative treatments — PRP, PDRN — for skin quality, hair, and post-procedure recovery acceleration.
Location, scheduling, and discretion for diplomatic life
INTI clinic is located in Lago Sul — the same quadrant that hosts the majority of Brasília's embassy residences. The address is St. de Habitações Individuais Sul QI 11, Deck Brasil, Bloco O, Sala 115, Lago Sul, Brasília – DF, 71625-240. Most embassy residences in Setor de Embaixadas Sul and Lago Sul are within 10 to 15 minutes by car.
Scheduling is adapted to diplomatic calendars. Appointments are confirmed via WhatsApp in English. For patients who require discretion — which is the norm in this community — the clinic environment is private and appointment-based; there are no open waiting areas shared with walk-in patients.
For short-stay patients and those passing through Brasília, treatment planning is adjusted to what is clinically appropriate within the available timeframe. Dr. Perfeito will be direct about what can be safely initiated, completed, and followed up within your schedule.
Digital follow-up is available for patients who have returned abroad after a procedure. A secure video consultation can be arranged to review outcomes and coordinate with your physician at home if needed.
First contact is by WhatsApp or email in English. There are no language barriers at any point.

-
English-speaking clinical care?
All consultations at INTI clinic with Dr. Thiago Perfeito are conducted entirely in English. This applies to the initial assessment, the treatment planning discussion, the procedure itself, and any follow-up appointments. There is no requirement for a translator or interpreter at any stage. Written communications — including pre-procedure instructions, consent documentation, and aftercare guidance — are also available in English upon request.
-
How does it work for busy diplomats?
Appointments are scheduled via WhatsApp in English and confirmed with flexibility built in for last-minute changes. The clinic operates on a private, appointment-only basis, which means no open waiting areas and predictable timing. For patients with particularly constrained schedules, it is possible to discuss clinical objectives in an initial consultation and then plan the treatment sequence around confirmed availability windows.
-
Common services for expats?
The most frequently requested treatments by expatriate and diplomatic patients are botulinum toxin neuromodulation (Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin, depending on the patient's preference and history), hyaluronic acid fillers from the Restylane and Juvéderm families, collagen biostimulators such as Sculptra and Radiesse for patients seeking gradual structural improvement, and Morpheus8 RF microneedling for skin quality and tightening.
-
Costs in USD comparison?
Aesthetic procedures in Brasília are generally priced 40 to 60 per cent below equivalent treatments in the United States or Western Europe. This reflects differences in operating costs, labour markets, and local taxation — not differences in product quality or clinical standards. The products used are the same international brands at the same formulation. Exact pricing is provided transparently during the consultation.
-
Time efficiency for short stays?
Treatment planning for short-stay patients starts from an honest assessment of what is clinically appropriate within the available time. Some procedures — botulinum toxin, certain hyaluronic acid fillers, PRP, PDRN — can be initiated and substantially completed within a single visit, with minimal downtime. Others, such as biostimulator programmes or laser series, require multiple sessions spaced weeks apart and are not well suited to a brief stay. Dr. Perfeito will advise clearly on what can realistically be achieved.
