Patients From All Over the South Pacific: Dr. Mónica Alfaro
A year has passed since moving to my new location at Plaza Ventanas in the South Pacific of Costa Rica. I am happy to be offering my services to my regular patients and the neighbors of this new area, Ventanas and Ojochal. Not a day goes by that I do not have a new patient come into the office for medical services or aesthetics. I learn from my clients every day. And to do this and provide quality services, I like to take my time to listen to their needs and concerns. One can fully understand and address the patient's needs through proper communication.
Thirteen years after initially moving to Costa Ballena, I continue to feel motivated by my work as a physician, General Practitioner, and Medical Aesthetic provider.
It has allowed me to meet hundreds if not thousands of patients, most of whom visit my office regularly.

Every day brings new opportunities for providing services to the community extending to places from Esterillos to Pavones and Tinamastes. My Practice covers follow-up of chronic health issues, skin checks, PAP smears, minor surgical procedures for diagnosis and treatment of skin lesions, skin tag removal, bloodwork, and spider vein sclerotherapy, among the most common services required by patients.
Among the rejuvenation services, patients can find treatment for all their needs sagging skin or laxity, spots, visible pores, acne, scars, uneven texture or tone, volume loss, hair loss, and, of course, wrinkles. Treatments include botulinum toxin type A; dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid or even fat grafting or injections to the face, the hands, the chest, the earlobes; augmentation or definition of the lips; Dermapen and fractional dermabrasion as collagen induction therapy; chemical peels; radio frequency; platelet-rich plasma; PDO threads. Among others, even tightening or lifting of the eyelids or rejuvenation of the contour of the mouth with Plasmage or plasma energy-based therapy can be achieved.
Some additional services offered are Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery consultations and minor procedures with Dr. Miguel Alfaro, a renown Costa Rican Plastic Surgeon, who visits the clinic a few times a year. I assist in arranging appointments with different specialists for surgery or other procedures.
Service will remain personal with contact and scheduling directly with me at my usual number 8833-6431 or my new email dralfaro@bahiaballenadoctors.com.
