Santé arrives in Madrid: aesthetic medicine guided by medical criteria

Santé Clinics opened its aesthetic medicine clinic in Madrid on 12 November 2026, in the Chamberí neighbourhood. Here everything starts with a consultation: first we assess your skin, your medical history and what you are looking for, and only then, if it is indicated, the medical team proposes a plan. If you have been thinking for a while about improving the look of your skin without surgery and you would rather have a doctor explain each step before you decide, here is what the new clinic offers, how we work and what you can expect from your first visit.

Key points

• Santé Clinics Madrid opened on 12 November 2026 in Chamberí and is a non-surgical aesthetic medicine clinic: we do not perform surgery.
• You can start with a free aesthetic consultation with a Beauty Coach or with a medical consultation for €50.
• Medical treatments are always indicated after an assessment by the medical team, and results vary from person to person.
• The clinic has HydraFacial, the Alma Harmony XL Pro laser platform, Ultraformer MPT HIFU, INDIBA radiofrequency, the Alma Hybrid CO2 laser and skin analysis with the Observ 520x.
• If a treatment is not indicated for you, we will explain that to you clearly.

A new clinic in Chamberí with a clear method

Santé is a non-surgical aesthetic medicine and wellness clinic. The Madrid clinic, opened in November 2026, works with a method based on listening before treating, explaining clearly and proposing only what suits each person.

At Santé, the decision about which treatment to have does not come from a catalogue or from a social media trend. It comes from a conversation with the medical team, who assess your skin, your medical history and your expectations, and who will also tell you when it is better to do nothing or to wait.

The clinic is in Chamberí, with nearby areas such as Almagro, Salamanca or Colón. If you live or work in this part of the city, you will find it convenient to come in for a first consultation.

What aesthetic medicine guided by medical criteria means

The Spanish Society of Aesthetic Medicine (SEME) describes aesthetic medicine as a discipline that aims to restore, maintain and promote aesthetics, beauty and health through medical practices and minor procedures, using topical or local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis. The same society points out that these techniques must be carried out by qualified medical professionals and that aesthetic medicine does not use major surgery or general anaesthesia.

That definition is also Santé's framework. We are a non-surgical clinic, and what we do rests on three principles:

• Diagnosis before treatment. No one should leave a first visit with a treatment already decided unless a doctor has assessed their case.
• Clear information. We explain what each option can offer, what its limitations are, what risks exist and what alternatives there are.
• Realistic expectations. We aim for a natural look that is consistent with your features, not to change who you are.

SEME has published its Patient Decalogue: Safe Aesthetic Medicine. Among its points, it asks that treatment be carried out by a registered doctor, that the centre hold the corresponding health authorisation, that there be a personalised assessment and a medical record beforehand, that the patient sign an informed consent form and that the injectable product be traceable. It also includes a sentence that sums up how we see the consultation: "A good aesthetic doctor is one who tells you no." We recommend reading that decalogue before booking at any clinic, including ours.

Three consultations to start, depending on what you need

Not everyone arrives with the same question. That is why there are three different entry points, and in all of them the final indication for a medical treatment is decided by the medical team after assessing you.

Consultation	What it is for	Price
ConsultationAesthetic consultation with a Beauty Coach	What it is forInitial guidance: talking about your goals, understanding the clinic's options and deciding whether you need a medical assessment	PriceFree
ConsultationMedical consultation	What it is forMedical assessment for face, body, hair or GLP-1 weight management	Price€50
ConsultationNutrition consultation	What it is forReview of your diet and habits when they are part of your goal	Price€50

If you are not yet sure what suits you, the aesthetic consultation is a good first step: you leave with a clearer idea of what is possible and of whether it makes sense to move on to a medical assessment. If you already have a specific concern, such as dark spots, laxity, hair loss or weight management, you can book the medical consultation directly.

With GLP-1 it is worth being precise: they are prescription medicines and at Santé they are only considered after a medical assessment and only if indicated. During the consultation, the doctor goes through the contraindications and possible side effects with you, such as digestive discomfort, before any decision is made.

The clinic's technology and what each device is for

Technology is a tool, not the starting point. Having several devices makes it possible to choose the most suitable one for each skin and each goal, but the choice always depends on the assessment. These are the devices we work with in Chamberí:

• HydraFacial, with the Signature, Deluxe and Platinum protocols, boosters, Perk for lips and eyes and Keravive for the scalp. According to the manufacturer, the treatment combines exfoliation, peel, extraction and hydration steps with serums in a single session.
• Alma Harmony XL Pro, with the AFT, ClearLift, Q-Switched, iPixel Er:YAG, ClearSkin and Nd:YAG vascular heads. Alma describes it as a multi-application platform with laser and IPL applicators for rejuvenation, pigmented and vascular lesions, acne and skin texture.
• Ultraformer MPT, a HIFU device for face and body. According to its manufacturer, Classys, it uses focused ultrasound at different depths to stimulate collagen production, with the aim of improving the firmness and quality of the skin.
• INDIBA radiofrequency for facial, body and intimate-area treatments.
• Alma Hybrid CO2 laser for ablative skin rejuvenation.
• Observ 520x, a skin analysis system that helps document the state of your skin before deciding.

A device being available does not mean you will use it. Some skins are not candidates for certain lasers at certain times of year, and some goals are better addressed with home care than with a machine. That conversation is part of the consultation.

Which treatments you can find at the new clinic

The clinic's catalogue includes the following areas of non-surgical aesthetic medicine. All medical treatments are performed by the medical team after an assessment:

• Facial injectables: neuromodulators for expression lines, bruxism, hyperhidrosis or gummy smile; hyaluronic acid in the lips, tear trough, cheeks, temples, chin, jawline or nasolabial fold; non-surgical rhinomodelling; and facial harmonisation with four protocols according to age and features.
• Skin quality and regenerative medicine: skin boosters, Baby Glow, polynucleotides, Sculptra, Radiesse, Lanluma, exosomes, PRP and PRF, mesotherapy, microneedling and peels.
• Laser: treatments for pigmentation, melasma, rosacea, acne, rejuvenation, vascular and pigmented dark circles and ablative resurfacing, including CO2.
• Firmness and contour: facial and body HIFU, facial and body INDIBA and cryolipolysis.
• Hair: hair mesotherapy, PRP, exosomes and hair consultation.
• Weight management: medical treatment with GLP-1, only after a medical consultation.
• Cosmeceuticals: products from SkinCeuticals, ZO, ASM and Biotricología to continue your care at home.

Neuromodulators are prescription medicines: they are only used after a medical assessment and only if indicated. Their possible side effects include small bruises, discomfort or mild swelling in the treated area and, less frequently, a drooping eyelid (ptosis) or asymmetry, risks that the doctor explains to you in the consultation. They are not used during pregnancy, breastfeeding or in some neuromuscular diseases. GLP-1 medicines are also prescription-only: they are only considered after a medical assessment and only if indicated, and the doctor reviews their contraindications and possible side effects with you, such as digestive discomfort. These lists are not exhaustive: the individual assessment determines whether a treatment is suitable for you.

Results vary depending on each skin, age, habits and how each body responds. That is why we do not talk about fixed results or promise a specific change. If you want to understand better what is reasonable to expect, our blog has a guide to results and realistic expectations in aesthetic medicine.

The city environment and your skin

Madrid has a dry continental climate. According to the AEMET climate normals for Madrid, Retiro, average rainfall is around 421 mm a year and mean relative humidity stays between 38% and 44% from June to August. In January average lows are around 3 °C, and heating tends to dry out the air in homes and offices. That is why many people notice their skin feels tighter or flakier in the colder months, and sensitive skin may react more.

Urban pollution is another factor that can play a part. A review published in 2019 in the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology covers, among others, a study of women in Germany in which higher exposure to traffic-related particles was associated with more lentigines (age spots) and more marked nasolabial folds, and describes how some pollutants can promote oxidative stress and inflammation in the skin. These are associations seen in population studies, not a proven cause in each person.

In the consultation we take that context into account. For example, the time of year can influence when to plan a laser for dark spots, and daily sun protection is advisable in any plan, in summer as well as in winter. For some people, a good hydration and protection routine at home is the first step before considering an in-clinic treatment.

How we work at Santé Madrid

The clinic is at C. de Amador de los Ríos, 1, Chamberí, 28010 Madrid. We are open Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 21:00 and on Saturdays from 10:00 to 15:00; on Sundays the clinic is closed. You can also write to us at santemadrid@santeclinics.com. This is the usual path:

1. Booking. You choose the consultation that suits you best, through online booking or by WhatsApp on +34 919 58 34 87.
2. First conversation. In the aesthetic or the medical consultation we talk about what concerns you, what you would like to achieve and what you have tried before.
3. Assessment. The Santé Madrid medical team reviews your medical history, your medication and the state of your skin, and may rely on skin analysis with the Observ 520x when it provides useful information.
4. Plan explained. If a treatment is indicated, we explain what it involves, what it can offer, its risks and its alternatives, and you sign the informed consent form before starting.
5. Treatment and aftercare. The treatment is performed by the medical team, and before you leave you go through the aftercare with them and who to contact if any question comes up.

You may leave the consultation without any treatment, and that is also a good outcome if it is what suits your case. There is no rush to decide.
