The Clinica Ivo Pitanguy in Rio de Janeiro was founded in 1963 by the now-legendary Professor Ivo Pitanguy with the goal of providing global VIPs with aesthetic treatments and cosmetic surgery in an atmosphere that prizes beauty, ethics and mastery of technique above all else.

The Núcleo de Saúde e Beleza Health and Beauty Centre, developed by the founder to «give everyone the chance to be at one with their image», is run by Dr Gisela Pitanguy. It uses the most up-to-date dermatological techniques and the most effective aesthetic treatments. Moreover, the Beauty Centre has developed its very own line of products, «Beauty by Clinica Ivo Pitanguy», designed to meet the most stringent beauty and wellness needs.
