CHIC Med-Aesthetic Clinics

ChicPersona at SkyParks, which trades as CHIC Med-Aesthetic Clinics, is a private medical centre at Level 0 of SkyParks Business Centre, right beside Malta International Airport in Luqa. Uniquely, it offers both med-aesthetic treatments and everyday primary care, so you can book anything from laser hair removal to a travel vaccination in one place.

The clinic has joined forces with Persona Med Aesthetic Centre in Ta' Xbiex under the shared name ChicPersona, combining expertise in aesthetic medicine, dermatology and plastic surgery across two locations. This page covers the SkyParks clinic. You will also find it in our directories of cosmetic clinics in Malta and private clinics in Malta.

A clinic beside the airport

SkyParks Business Centre is part of the airport complex, and the clinic sits at ground level inside it. For UK visitors that is a practical advantage: you can fit an appointment around a flight, a car hire pick-up or a long layover. Clients receive one hour of free parking in the airport surface car park on presenting their parking card.

The medical centre has spacious clinics, separate waiting areas for medical and med-aesthetic services, and an interior designed to feel relaxed. It is also built to be energy efficient, with systems for lighting, air conditioning, ventilation and heat recovery, plus waste separation. If you are planning a trip, our guides to flights to Malta from the UK, London Heathrow to Malta and KM Malta Airlines cover how to get here.

Med-aesthetic treatments

Aesthetic treatments are carried out by internationally trained aesthetic doctors, who keep up with continued medical education and links with leading practitioners abroad. The menu includes laser hair removal, skin pigmentation, vein treatment, laser tattoo removal, scar treatment and laser rejuvenation, along with treatments for rosacea, vascular lesions and excessive sweating.

Non-surgical anti-ageing options include Botox injections, dermal fillers, lip enhancement, the HArmonyCa filler, skin needling and chemical peels. Non-surgical fat reduction and body shaping are also offered. Doctors discuss what is realistic and achievable, and what to expect, before treatment starts. This page describes services and is not medical advice.

Laser hair removal and the equipment

Laser hair removal is a signature service, delivered by medical doctors using Syneron Candela technology that suits all hair and skin types and colours. A consultation with a patch test comes first. Around six sessions at six to eight week intervals are generally needed, depending on the area, hair colour and thickness, skin type and medical history, because the laser works best on hairs in their active growth phase.

The clinic's equipment includes the GentleMax PRO, a dual-wavelength platform combining Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers for hair removal, pigmented marks and vascular lesions, and the eLase with Motif, a diode platform designed to make hair removal virtually pain free, even across large areas such as a man's back or a woman's legs. The i-LipoXcell system brings together body fat analysis, laser diode fat reduction, infrared vacuum massage and radiofrequency skin tightening.

Men have their own section, Specifically for Him, covering laser hair removal for men, scalp micropigmentation and treatment for beard bumps (pseudofolliculitis barbae). Clients are offered free hot drinks, with sixteen types to choose from.

Medical services and travel health

The medical side works as a GP group practice with fully trained family doctors on duty throughout opening hours, either by appointment or on a drop-in basis. Services include private consultations, acute illness, chronic disease management, health assessments and care plans, men's and women's health, antenatal checks, child health and immunisations, ear syringing, ECG, skin checks and the removal of skin tags.

Walk-in emergency care covers primary health emergencies such as suturing after an injury, with referral to hospital when needed. A travel clinic offers vaccinations, which is convenient for visitors and residents heading on to other destinations. Blood tests, smear tests and medical examinations are also available. Medical tourism has its own page on the clinic's site, so ask about arranging care during a trip.

Beauty treatments and products

The beauty therapists offer Medik8 facials, professional spray tanning, semi-permanent eyelash extensions and semi-permanent make-up, as well as gift vouchers. A range of take-home skin care products, chosen by the clinic's professionals for their active ingredients, can run alongside a treatment plan. If you are looking for a salon visit as well, AMIS City Spa and Beauty Salon is a listed option, and AestheLab Clinic and Academy is another aesthetics clinic in the directory.

Planning your visit

The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 19:00 and on Saturday from 08:00 to 17:00. Luqa is close to the airport and a short drive from Valletta; our Valletta guide and where to stay in Malta pages help with planning, and our Malta weather guide explains when laser and sun exposure are best scheduled around a holiday.
