MACAU – Macau stakes its claim as a lifestyle, leisure and now, wellness destination with the opening of the Malo Clinic and Malo Clinic Spa at The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel in early 2009. Both companies of Malo Clinic Health Group are set to be one of the largest facilities of its kind in Asia offering a comprehensive array of medical treatments and spa services.

It will cover a total area of approximately 84,400 square feet, with six operating theaters, 58 luxurious spa rooms, state-of-the-art wet and hydro facilities, a world-class hair salon and more. A staff size of over 50 medical doctors and 100 spa therapists will be recruited from all over the world.

“We are thrilled with the potential in Asia, and the opening of this clinic represents our foothold into this dynamic market,” said founder Dr. Paulo Malo. With its location in the Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel, Malo Clinic is targeting a variety of market segments attracted to the integrated resort’s range of offerings and facilities. From MICE visitors wanting an executive health check-up while on business, to gamers and punters looking to add a world-class health and wellness experience to their leisure activities, Malo Clinic will provide a wide range of services to rival some of the most established medical facilities in the world.

Malo Clinic at The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel represents Dr. Malo’s first foray into Asia. The Malo Clinic Health Group, based in Lisbon, currently operates over 14 mega clinics throughout Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia – open and under construction. Malo Clinic is ranked as the world’s finest in Fixed Oral Rehabilitation, and its educational center offers training programs for over 3,500 dental professionals annually on the latest developments and technologies in oral rehabilitation of dental implants.

MALO CLINIC

Medical out-patient services to be offered include general surgery: Cardiology, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, Plastic Surgery, Stomatology, Dental Medicine, Internal Medicine, Paediatrics, Urology, Gynaecology, Dermatology, Gastroenterology, Physical Therapy and Esthetics.

The clinic will feature the most advanced medical equipment and diagnostic technologies available to date. These include MRI, ophthalmologic laser and digital mammography, among others.

But perhaps one of the hallmarks of the Malo Clinic will be its Dental Medicine, because its founder, Dr. Paulo Malo is a world-renowned dental surgeon credited for pioneering the surgical technique All-on-4 and the fixed prosthesis Malo Clinic Bridge, both recognized as significant advances in the field of oral rehabilitation.

The dental services will include Oral Surgery, Implantology and Periodontology, Prosthodontics, Dentistry, Pediatric dentistry, Oral hygiene, Radiology, Endodontics and Orthodontics.

MALO CLINIC SPA

Complementing the clinical offerings in an atmosphere of relaxation and tranquility, the spa was designed to offer a range of experiences for those seeking a purely indulgent treatment all the way to therapeutic solutions that combine the medical expertise of the clinic.

A selection of spa suites are offered from single, to couple, deluxe, super deluxe and even group treatment suites. All suites feature shower and changing facilities. To complement the facilities there are dedicated hydro suites offering Vichy shower, dry floatation, hydro tub and salt floatation services.

The separate changing rooms for men and women are designed to offer complete heat and wet experiences featuring experiences such as steam showers, saunas, hammams and different temperature vitality pools. For convenience and comfort, independent male and female rest areas are located above the changing room to provide a very private haven.

The spa offers the perfect synergy between clinical, conventional and cutting edge with a range of signature facials, body massages and treatments. All the spa treatments were specially designed to pamper, enhance, revitalize and complement rehabilitation and recovery, with the medical team individually receiving and following every case and providing an outstanding quality service regarding a patient’s wants and needs.
