About the clinic

Acne laser treatment at Amato Plastic Surgery in São Paulo, Brazil, uses high-intensity light to resurface the skin and minimize scarring. The clinic holds international TEMOS accreditation and features a dedicated day hospital for safe, controlled procedures. While specific prices depend on the treatment area, patients receive care in a facility recognized by the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP) and ISAPS.

Advanced Fractional CO2 Laser Technology

The clinic uses the fractional CO2 laser, which operates at a wavelength of 10,600 nm. This tool creates tiny columns of light that vaporize damaged scar tissue. This process helps the skin start a natural healing response. It stimulates collagen remodeling to fill in depressions left by old acne. Most patients see a 40% to 70% reduction in the depth and visibility of their scars.

Treatment Process and Customization

A typical course includes 3 to 5 sessions. These visits are usually spaced 30 to 60 days apart to allow the skin to heal properly. Each session lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. Before the laser starts, the team applies a topical anesthetic for about an hour. For deeper scars, the clinic may use local blocks or light sedation. Doctors often combine the laser with other methods like subcision or TCA CROSS to treat deep, pitted areas.

Recovery and Skin Care

Healing begins immediately after the session. You may notice redness and fine crusts on the skin for 3 to 7 days. While the initial crusts fade quickly, residual pinkness can last for 2 to 4 weeks. Final results usually appear about 60 to 90 days after each session. The clinic provides a specific care plan to protect the new skin during this time.

Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure for 30 days and use SPF 50+ daily.
Activity Limits: Avoid intense exercise for at least 1 week after the session.
Skin Rest: Do not apply makeup for 5 to 7 days and never pick at crusts.
Safety Check: Wait 6 months after finishing isotretinoin before starting this laser.

Safety at Amato Day Hospital

Procedures take place within the in-house Amato Day Hospital. This setting provides a dedicated anesthesia and recovery team for every patient. This controlled environment helps prevent infections and manages comfort during more intense treatments. The clinic follows strict protocols for international patients to make the journey smooth and safe. If you have active skin infections or are currently pregnant, you should delay the procedure. You can request a consultation to build a personalized plan for your skin type on Bookimed.

Amato Plastic Surgery: more details about the clinic

Brazil, São Paulo

Amato Plastic Surgery is a private specialty practice established in 2026. Located in São Paulo's Jardim América district, it operates across three specialized departments. The clinic focuses on both reconstructive and aesthetic plastic surgery. All procedures take place in the in-house Amato Day Hospital. This facility has a dedicated anesthesia team and specialized recovery monitoring.

Accreditations and Specialist Credentials

The clinic maintains affiliations with major international and national organizations. These include the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS) and the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). TEMOS accredits it for international patient care standards. The practice is led by Dr. Fernando Amato, who holds specialist registrations CRM/SP 133826 and RQE 51573.

Dr. Fernando Amato completed his medical training and plastic surgery residency at the Federal University of São Paulo. He is a member of the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery (SBCP). His surgical approach relies on evidence-based protocols and individualized planning. Every patient receives a detailed written discussion of risks and expectations before any procedure.

Reconstructive and Aesthetic Breast Surgery

The practice is a reference center for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction and oncologic repairs. Surgeons perform both immediate and delayed reconstructions. Techniques include autologous flaps, tissue expanders, and silicone implants. The final stage often involves areola reconstruction using 3D tattooing for a natural appearance.

Aesthetic breast procedures cover a wide range of patient needs:

Breast augmentation using Motiva implants with integrated microchips
Mastopexy (breast lift) with or without implants
Complex breast reduction cases, including tissue removal exceeding 1.9 kg
Correction of tuberous breasts and breast asymmetry
Specialized breast implant removal (explant) services

Patients undergoing breast reconstruction typically stay 1–4 days. Drains are usually removed within 14 days. Most return to work after 3 weeks.

Body Contouring and Specialized Treatments

The clinic offers surgical management for lipedema and post-bariatric body remodeling. Lipedema treatment involves 12–24 hours of hospitalization. Patients begin lymphatic drainage within 7 days and use compression therapy for up to 60 days. Body contouring for post-bariatric patients includes abdominoplasty variants like the 360-degree circumferential lift.

For male patients, the clinic provides gynecomastia surgery using a specific quilting technique. Dr. Fernando Amato developed this adhesion-suture method through his own scientific research. It reduces fluid buildup and often eliminates the need for surgical drains. Most patients return to light activities within 21 days.

Advanced Surgical Technologies

The surgical workflow integrates several energy-based platforms for better skin retraction and contouring. The clinic uses BodyTite and Morpheus8 for radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis and tissue remodeling. Surgeons also use VASER and LipoSound technologies for precise fat emulsification. Facial procedures may include endoscopic lifting and CO2 laser resurfacing.

International Patient Services

Amato Plastic Surgery provides structured planning for patients traveling from abroad. The clinic offers online consultations to review medical history and standardized photos. The team helps with recovery logistics, including discounted rates at partner hotels in São Paulo. Support is available in Portuguese, English, and Spanish.

Postoperative care includes a direct communication channel via a dedicated WhatsApp group. This connects the patient, nursing team, and surgeon for continuous guidance. The clinic schedules follow-up reviews at 6 and 12 months to monitor long-term results at no extra cost.

I want to thank Dr. Marcelo Amato, a neurosurgeon, for his professionalism, competence, responsibility, attention, kindness, and patience in all stages of my care—consultation, examinations, surgery, and postoperative follow-up. My thanks also go to his entire surgical team, the reception staff, the postoperative team, and to his magnificent secretary, Tamires. After seeing many doctors without any results, with pain for almost 3 years, he efficiently discovered my problem. I underwent with him a video endoscopic surgery for a herniated disc in the lumbar spine, and today it is a blessing to say that I don’t feel even a single pain. My eternal thanks. I recommend any treatment with him.

How wonderful to know that your experience was so positive! Here’s a message suggestion of thanks and praise, in an elegant and sincere tone: I would like to express my immense gratitude and congratulate the entire team for the exceptional care I received. From my very first contact, during the negotiation and the closing of the surgery, I was welcomed with great attention, patience, and professionalism. The entire process conveyed safety and trust, which made all the difference. The surgery was performed at Hospital Dia, in an impeccable environment—extremely clean, well organized, and with a structure that was incredibly comfortable. The air-conditioned, cozy room made my recovery even more peaceful. I would also like to highlight the nursing team, which was simply wonderful: attentive, caring professionals, organized, and always willing to help with kindness and dedication. My special thanks to the anesthesia team, which showed genuine concern for my well-being. My recovery was surprisingly calm—no pain, no nausea, and no unpleasant symptoms that many people fear after surgery. The food offered also deserves praise: tasty, well prepared, and thoughtfully planned to provide comfort during recovery. And finally, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the doctor and their assistant. There aren’t enough words to describe your care, competence, kindness, and dedication. In every moment, I felt welcomed, respected, and safe. More than a highly qualified team, I found people who practice medicine with humanity. Today, I’m certain that I made the right choice. Thank you very much for making this moment so special and peaceful.

Note: 10 ⭐ I would like to record my immense satisfaction and gratitude for the impeccable experience I had at Amato Hospital Dia. From my very first contact until the moment of discharge, the service was simply excellent. All the medical and nursing staff demonstrate admirable professionalism, warmth, and humanity. One of the great differentiators that gave me extreme safety and peace of mind was the constant presence of the doctor responsible for my wife’s surgery—he was there the entire time, closely monitoring every detail. The day hospital’s facilities are modern, well-equipped, and of the highest standard. In addition, the cleanliness and organization of all areas are impeccable. Thank you, Dr. Fernando Amato.

I was very well received and cared for at the clinic—whether it was at reception, in my consultations with Dr. Fernando, on the day of the surgery by all the professionals present there, and also during the lymphatic drainage sessions with the wonderful physiotherapists. Everything was explained to me in great detail throughout the entire process. I am completely satisfied!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dr. Keller is the vascular specialist who has been following me, and he is an exceptional professional. It was him who gave me clarity about lipedema and the best treatment path—something that no one before had seen with this level of depth. He has an incredible level of care for his patients; he’s highly knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. Through his follow-up, I changed my habits and my life truly improved. I continue with him on my sporting journey as well—I’m an amateur athlete, and he helps me progress in a healthy way. Huge gratitude to Dr. Keller and to Instituto Amato!

I accompanied my mother to a spine surgery and the experience was exceptional. Impeccable facilities, a welcoming environment, and an extremely prepared, polite, and attentive team. On several occasions, our needs were noticed and handled proactively, without us having to ask for help. The clinical team showed a high level of competence, responsibility, and, above all, genuine human care. Without a doubt, whenever there is an option for authorized procedures, this will always be our first choice. ♥️
