Amplecare

Amplecare is a doctor-led clinic in Birkirkara that brings aesthetic medicine and general wellbeing under one roof. It sits in The Watercourse on Mdina Road, inside the Central Business District, so it is easy to reach from most of the island by car or bus and handy for anyone working in the area. The clinic's idea is that looking well starts with being well, which explains a menu that runs from laser skin treatments and injectables to hormone health care and a small skincare shop.

The clinic is listed on VisitMalta.co.uk among the cosmetic clinics in Malta and the private clinics in Malta. That makes it useful both for UK visitors who want a treatment while they are on the island and for residents looking for a long-term clinic.

An approach built around medical oversight

The clinic's mission is to offer a variety of aesthetic and wellness solutions, all overseen by medical professionals, and its team of doctors designs treatments that amplify and support each person's natural look. Its doctors choose treatments to support your natural look rather than to change it, and the clinic talks about a patient-centred, holistic style of care that joins medical science with an understanding of aesthetics.

Five brand values shape how the clinic works. Integrity means honesty and transparency in every decision. Exceptional quality and standard of care means holding the clinic to a high bar for every patient. Inclusivity means a welcoming environment for everyone, whatever their background. Innovation means looking out for new technologies and methods, and accountability means working towards one mission: helping patients move past physical insecurities and live more fully. In practice, a first visit involves a consultation, where a doctor looks at your skin and goals, and a personalised plan follows.

Laser treatments for skin

Laser work is one of the clinic's biggest strengths. Amplecare uses the Candela Gentle Pro Max laser system, which treats a range of skin concerns. For facial rejuvenation it is used to improve skin texture, tone and overall appearance, with with around three to five sessions spaced three to four weeks apart. It is also used for acne scars, for pigmentation such as sun spots, age spots and melasma, and for rosacea, where the laser targets visible blood vessels and redness.

A dedicated treatment for cherry spots (angiomas) and spider veins on the face uses dual wavelengths to heat and gradually close small blood vessels. Most people need one to three sessions, four to six weeks apart, and that a session often takes just 15 to 30 minutes. Mild redness, swelling or bruising can follow and usually settles within a few days, and aftercare instructions are given on the day. The same laser platform is also used for laser hair removal and for treating vascular veins, so one device covers a wide range of everyday concerns, from unwanted hair to visible thread veins on the legs. Your doctor decides what is suitable at consultation, and this page offers no medical advice.

Injectables, skin boosters and skin tightening

Amplecare offers anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers, as well as a range of injectable skin quality treatments. Polynucleotide treatments, for the eyes and the face, use naturally occurring DNA-building molecules injected into the skin to support collagen and elastin and improve elasticity and texture. A topical numbing cream is normally applied first, and downtime is typically minimal. Other options include skin boosters, mesotherapy and a collagen biostimulator treatment, along with Fillmed vitamin treatments for the face.

For people interested in non-surgical lifting, the clinic offers Ulthera, an ultrasound-based skin tightening treatment, and YAG laser skin tightening. Dermapen microneedling, chemical peels and a polynucleotide course are also available for people who want to focus on texture, tone and scarring rather than volume. Each is explained during a consultation so that you understand the number of sessions, the sensations and the likely recovery. Because several of these options are staged over weeks, it helps to tell the clinic early how long you will be in Malta, so that a sensible schedule can be proposed.

Body contouring, facials and massage

Body treatments include cryolipolysis, which uses controlled cooling to target fat in specific areas, and Aqualyx, a non-surgical fat reduction treatment. Both are offered as options for people who want to refine their shape without an operation, and the doctors can explain which approach is suitable. As with every treatment at the clinic, the first step is a conversation with a doctor about what you would like to achieve, what is realistic, and how many visits would be involved.

The clinic has a beauty side as well. Facials and massage are on the menu. A visit can be as much about unwinding as about treatment. That mix of medical and relaxing services is the main difference from a purely clinical aesthetic practice, and it suits visitors who like to combine a skin treatment with something gentler. If you want a comparison, other options include AestheLab Clinic and Academy and, for a day of pampering, AMIS City Spa and Beauty Salon.

Wellbeing, hormone health and the skincare shop

Beyond aesthetics, Amplecare offers wellbeing and medical services including psychiatry and specialist hormone health care for PCOS and menopause. These services reflect the clinic's belief that a healthy outside starts on the inside, and they make it more than a place for cosmetic procedures. Anyone interested should ask the clinic, through our enquiry form, which specialist is available and how appointments work. Because these services are medical, they are arranged directly with the clinic, and nothing on this page is a substitute for professional advice.

An online shop sells skincare, hair care and supplements. Brands include Obagi Medical for skincare, IDUN Minerals for hair and face products and Biogena for nutritional supplements, and vouchers are also available. Free delivery applies to orders over €25 within Malta and Gozo, and the shop does not deliver internationally, so UK visitors would need to collect or buy while they are on the island.

Planning a visit from the UK

Birkirkara sits in the middle of the island, on the Mdina Road route that runs towards Mdina and Rabat, which makes the Central Business District a convenient meeting point whichever coast you are staying on. If you are travelling from the UK, our guide to flights to Malta shows the main routes, and the Malta weather guide can help you choose the best month for a stay. Many visitors base themselves in the north, where there is a good choice of hotels in Sliema, or in the capital, with hotels in Valletta close to the harbour, and both are a short taxi or bus ride away.

If you plan to stay longer, the clinic can become your regular skin and wellbeing provider, which is helpful for treatments that need several sessions weeks apart. Anyone thinking of relocating to Malta from the UK will find it useful to have a clinic like this nearby. Between appointments, the things to do in Malta guide has plenty of ideas, including a trip to the old walled city in our Mdina guide.
