Art in Beauty Mellieħa

Art in Beauty Mellieħa combines a medical-style aesthetic clinic with a full beauty salon at 132 Triq il-Kbira, in the village that gives the north of Malta its holiday character. It is the clinic's established location, set up as a relaxed, private space where a consultation, a laser session, a facial and a manicure can all happen under one roof.

For UK visitors based in Mellieħa, Qawra or Golden Bay, it offers an easy way to book skin, body or beauty work around a holiday, and for residents it is a long-standing local clinic. On VisitMalta.co.uk it sits in our directory of cosmetic clinics in Malta.

The Mellieħa clinic and salon

The photographs of the premises show a calm, light interior: a marble reception with shelves of skincare, a waiting lounge with a wall screen, private treatment rooms with warm curtains and soft lighting, and a separate nail bar. The setting is designed around comfort and privacy, with clinic-grade equipment behind a spa-style finish.

The clinic now also operates a second location in Tas-Sliema, but this page covers the Mellieħa address only. The Mellieħa site is the one with the wider treatment range, running from body contouring machines and medical lasers to waxing, massage and a solarium.

Mellieħa itself is easy to combine with sightseeing. Our Mellieħa guide covers the village, and hotels in Mellieħa will help if you are choosing where to stay nearby.

Body sculpting and slimming

Body work is one of the clinic's main strands. The treatment menu includes slimming and nutrition support, cryolipolysis-style fat freezing sold as Cryoliposculpt, ultrasonic cavitation, monopolar radio frequency, HIFU, Vaculase, pressotherapy, Medisculpt muscle stimulation and Lysiwave, along with ready-made body sculpting packages.

Alongside the machines, the clinic offers Alidya, an anti-cellulite injection, and Aqualyx fat-dissolving injections. The images of the Mellieħa rooms show a therapist working on a client's abdomen with a handheld device, which gives a feel for how the sessions run.

Which treatment is right for you is decided with the team at the start. Use the enquiry form on this page to ask which body programmes are available during your stay.

Laser, pigmentation and acne treatments

Skin concerns have their own detailed treatment pages. For pigmentation, the clinic works with depigmentation peels, Nd:Yag, Q-switched and calibrated pulsed light (CPL) lasers, microneedling with Dermapen 4, laser carbon peels and fractional plasma. Priced examples include an Alphapeel facial at €75, a 2B Bio Peeling at €85, and a single pigmentation laser session at €65 or four for €220. A Cosmelan depigmentation method is priced at €450 and Dermamelan at €850, each with a home pack to continue the treatment at home.

For acne and acne scarring, the menu includes chemical peels, the Blemiderm programme at €500, Dermapen sessions, Skintite fractional radio frequency at €125, Erbium laser resurfacing at €150 and a Hydrafacial deep cleansing facial at €100. A Pure Skin Program combining three sessions each of Dermapen, Nd:Yag laser and a Blemiskin peel is priced at €850.

Vascular laser work for spider veins is also available, using an Nd:Yag laser. Sessions can take from a few minutes to half an hour or more depending on the area, and the number of sessions is worked out at a free consultation beforehand. This page lists what the clinic offers and is not medical advice, so speak to your own doctor about any health question.

Pigmentation also has set programmes. The Bright and Shine Program at €850 combines three CPL sessions, three Mesopeel and Mesohyal skin regeneration sessions and one laser carbon peel, while the De-Pigmentation Program at €850 combines four Mesopeel MD Melanostop Tranex peels, one Melanostop Touch and four Dermapen4 sessions with brightening cocktails. Single Dermapen Brite Lite sessions are €150, or €500 for four. A laser carbon peel is €150, or €400 for three sessions.

On the acne side, the laser options run from Nd:Yag, which works on oil production and bacteria and usually takes four to six treatments spaced weeks apart, to Erbium YAG resurfacing for deeper scarring, CPL for redness and post-acne pigmentation, and a laser carbon peel that combines an exfoliating carbon mask with Yag laser. Mesopeel peels with salicylic acid, azelaic acid or Blemiskin cost €100 for a single MD peel, and a Dermapen CLR session is €150.

Many of these courses are followed by a clinical skincare routine for use at home, and the same skincare range is sold in the online shop.

Photos of the clinic at work

The clinic's own pictures give a good idea of what to expect. They show consultations with a hand mirror, a facial using a handheld skin device, a laser session on a client's back, brow work during a semi-permanent make-up appointment, a back massage and a busy nail bar. The treatment rooms are dressed with candles and soft towels, and the reception area is bright and open.

Clients are covered with towels during body and laser work, and staff wear the clinic's white tunics or black salon uniforms, with gloves and protective eyewear where a laser is in use. If you have questions about a particular machine or product, ask through the enquiry form before you travel.

Face, eyes, injectables and hair

The med-aesthetic menu is long. It includes the EXO-GROW hair loss treatment, laser tattoo removal, a group of eye treatments such as non-surgical Blefaroplasma, Madonna Eye Lift and Dermapen4 Exo-Eye, Facestim, HIFU facelift, resurfacing peels with an erbium laser, treatments for stretch marks, nail fungus, skin tags and warts, and intimate area treatments.

Botox and dermal fillers, skin boosters and mesotherapy sit in their own category, and the same team can apply semi-permanent make-up, including powdered brows, hair-stroke brows and lips. Laser hair removal is offered as a separate service, which suits visitors who want to start before a summer break.

Every advanced aesthetic facial follows a free consultation with the clinic's advanced aesthetics therapist, so you are not asked to choose a treatment blind.

Beauty salon, massage and nails

Beyond the clinical work, the salon covers eye care, waxing, facials, advanced aesthetic facials and massage, plus a nail bar and pedi spa for manicures and pedicures. A solarium and tanning cards are also on the menu.

Skincare is sold too. The online shop stocks the Mesoestetic range of cleansers, creams, concentrates and sun protection, with prices such as €75.28 for the age element anti-wrinkle cream and €28.40 for a purifying mousse. Printable gift vouchers can be bought on the site, which makes a treatment or a product a simple present for a friend in Malta.

Sun care is part of the range, with a sun stick at €24.98 and a facial mist at €39.95 among the products listed, and a recovery balm for skin that feels tight after peels, waxing or sun. If you are buying from abroad, ask through the enquiry form which products are in stock before you travel.
