Rejuvenate your skin with non-invasive treatments carried out by Dr Maria Ponte using advanced technology.
Botulinum Toxin
Over the years, the normal activity of the facial muscles leads to the appearance of wrinkles, which tend to become deeper and the furrows more pronounced.
Botulinum toxin can be applied to various areas of the face, and the effect begins three days after application. The duration of these treatments varies from area to area.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid allows the skin to be deeply moisturised thanks to its ability to capture water, leaving the skin elastic, plump and smooth. Its effect lasts between 9 and 18 months.
Microinjection with hyaluronic acid helps redefine the shape of the creases and contour of the lips, increasing volume in areas subject to a natural process of tissue ageing.
How does the process work?
Make an assessment appointment, explain the reason for the visit and what is currently bothering you.
The aim will always be to balance facial proportions.
Tensioning Wires
Tensioning threads are a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation technique for treating sagging skin safely, without surgery and with no recovery time.
These threads act by supporting the tissues at subcutaneous level, producing a “natural lift” effect and increasing collagen production.
The Clinic
Our clinic has existed since 2000, but its values, mission, vision, procedures and protocols have changed since 2011.
The Lisbon Smile Clinic was created with the new concept of the new clinic in mind. This is an ambitious project that aims to meet the healthcare needs of the whole family.
We’re going to offer an integrated service, combining various medical specialities, so that everyone in the family, from the newborn to the senior patient, will find what they need at the clinic.
It varies, depending on the activity of the muscle. On average, botulinum toxin is metabolised in 4 to 6 months and hyaluronic acid in 12 to 18 months.
It varies, depending on the activity of the muscle. On average, botulinum toxin is metabolised in 4 to 6 months and hyaluronic acid in 12 to 18 months.
After the first application, botulinum toxin has an effect of 3 to 4 months. It only lasts this long because our muscles aren’t used to it.
If you have the treatment regularly, your muscles will get used to it and then you can have the treatment every 6 months without any problems.
