Executive Summary
Clinica Gaudium has opened in Chile with the aim of tapping into both the plastic and aesthetic surgery markets, which it estimates are jointly worth US$50m. The Santiago-based centre, built at a cost of over US$1m, promises to provide, for the first time in Chile, plastic (medical reconstructive) and aesthetic surgery "at a medical level" under one roof. "These activities have undergone very strong expansion in Chile but, until now, have not been available at a single location," said executive director Javier Latorre. There was a 61% annual increase in breast implant imports in 2003, according to the Chilean central bank's imports register. The Gaudium centre claims to have installed state-of-the-art technologies, including electro-optical synergy (ELOS), which combines laser and radio-frequency technologies and has applications in dermatology and peripheral vascular surgery (phlebology).
