Santa Cruz de Tenerife has established a new standard in aesthetic medicine with the opening of the second Doctor Blas García Clinic, situated in Plaza de los Patos within the building that once housed the Castelo Pharmacy. The inauguration ceremony was held last Friday at the Hotel Mencey, attended by industry professionals, artists, and representatives from local institutions.
The clinic resides in a historic structure designed by architect Mariano Estanga. Restored with great reverence for its heritage value, the building is now home to a project that extends beyond medical treatment to offer a comprehensive aesthetic experience.
A Concept That Goes Beyond Medicine
Under the medical leadership of Dr Nélida García, a specialist in facial aesthetic medicine, the facility has become the most advanced in the Canary Islands regarding laser technology applied to non-invasive treatments. Additionally, it doubles as a contemporary art museum, showcasing works that harmonise with the building’s modernist architecture. “Every face has a story. Our work is not only to enhance beauty, but also to accompany the individual in their journey of inner transformation,” explains Dr. García, whose career merges scientific rigor with clinical sensitivity.
Blas García: Surgery with an Artistic Vocation
Dr. Blas García, the founder of the clinics bearing his name, is regarded as one of the leading experts in ultrasonic rhinoplasty worldwide. His career boasts over 3,000 procedures and accolades such as the European Medical Award for Best Rhinoplasty Surgeon in Europe for three consecutive years.
‘A good surgeon must possess skills, but also a profound artistic sensibility,’ he asserts. This philosophy permeates every aspect of the clinic, where aesthetics transcend mere medical outcomes to encompass the environment, human interaction, and patient experience.
Having trained at the University of Córdoba and undertaken studies in the United States, Mexico, and Brazil, Dr. García introduced the technique of ultrasonic rhinoplasty to Spain in 2016, transforming nasal surgery with a less invasive and more precise methodology.
Technology, Art and Heritage
The building accommodating the clinic has been restored to maintain its original features, establishing it as a site where history intersects with the avant-garde.
Contemporary art plays a significant role in the project, as the works displayed in waiting areas and common spaces are carefully chosen to foster an environment of contemplation, beauty, and tranquility.
Cutting-edge Aesthetic Medicine
The clinic provides personalised treatments such as mesotherapy, neurotoxins for wrinkles, facial fillers, platelet-rich plasma, and chemical peels, all executed using advanced equipment. The premises are also equipped for minor outpatient surgery, guaranteeing safety and comfort.
The integration of state-of-the-art laser technology enables procedures like facial rejuvenation, blemish removal, vascular treatments, medical hair removal, and skin remodelling to be carried out with exceptional precision.
A Transformative Experience
From the initial consultation, patients are received with warmth and professionalism. The medical team carefully evaluates each case, suggesting solutions that honour individual identity and desires.
‘We aim for natural outcomes, but we also aspire to help our patients experience an inner rebirth following their external transformation,’ states Dr. García.
The opening of this second clinic represents a significant milestone in aesthetic medicine within the Canary Islands. It is a sanctuary where cutting-edge technology serves human sensitivity, where historic architecture lays the foundation for transformation, and where art enhances every step of the journey.
According to Dr. García: ‘Beauty is not a destination, it is a journey. And this centre invites you to travel that journey with respect, artistry, and science.’
