Coastline of Rio de Janeiro at golden hour

Refresh yourself. Experience Brazil.

Exceptional aesthetic care in Brazil, savings that can be meaningful, and one concierge coordinating the physician, the hotel, the transport, the recovery and everything you will want to see.

Save

Exceptional value. Access high quality aesthetic procedures in Brazil, with savings that can be significant against the prices charged in the United States.

Refresh

Exceptional care. Independent physicians whose registration, qualification and society memberships are verified before publication, and a journey coordinated from the first referral to the last follow up.

Experience Brazil

An unforgettable trip. The trip you have to take becomes a trip worth taking: good hotels, restaurants, neighbourhoods, culture, beaches and time that fits your recovery.

The procedure is the reason for the trip. RefreshU makes the entire trip worth it.

Treatments

Each person receiving medical services completes their own physician review, provider documentation, medical consents, provider agreement and medical payment. One person’s physician decision does not apply to another traveller.

How RefreshU works

  1. 01

    Choose Your Refresh

    Explore procedures and tell us what matters to you.

    Submit Your Information

    Your questionnaire and photos go straight to the physician, in their own system. They never pass through RefreshU.

    Physician Review

    A participating physician reviews your case in their own system, directly with you. RefreshU never sees the clinical material.

    Meet Your RefreshU Concierge

    Talk through the experience, the destination, concierge services, general pricing, potential savings, travel expectations, packages and next steps.

  5. 05

  6. 06

    Build Your Brazil Experience

    Travel, hotel, transport, appointments, concierge services, restaurants, shopping, attractions, wellness and activities compatible with recovery.

This is an illustration. Your itinerary follows your physician’s guidance and moves with it.

You know the physician before anything is decided

RefreshU is not a directory. Every participating physician is reviewed and presented in full, so the person operating on you is never an unknown name on a schedule.

Your destination

RefreshU operates in two Brazilian cities. You choose the one your stay is built around.

Avenida Paulista seen from above

The country’s medical capital. The largest concentration of clinics, hospitals and specialists in Latin America, in a city built for people who came to work and stayed for the food.

Neighbourhoods we place you in
Jardins, Itaim Bibi, Vila Nova Conceição and Alto de Pinheiros. Walkable, residential, and close to the clinics.
What the city is known for
Michelin dining, Ibirapuera park, MASP, the Oscar Freire shopping district, and the São Roque wine route an hour away.
Best suited to
A stay centred on the procedure and on recovering in comfort, with a dense, urban week around it.

The same in both cities

Where you will stay

Premium hotels chosen for comfort during recovery, proximity to your clinic and a neighbourhood worth walking.

Where you will eat

Restaurants and Brazilian food, from the everyday to the reservation you will tell people about, with meal delivery when you should be resting.

What you can experience

Neighbourhoods, museums, parks, shopping and wellness, filtered by what your recovery allows on each specific day.

Your medical journey

Clinics, consultations, pre operative exams and the procedure itself, held together in one schedule.

Your RefreshU concierge

Transport, bookings and the one contact who knows your whole week.

Neighbourhoods, venues and routes are concierge-selected. No area is described as completely safe, and private door-to-door transport is recommended at night.

One person coordinates all of it

You should not need five apps, twenty emails and a spreadsheet. Your concierge is a single point of contact for the entire experience.

Transport

Airport transfer, hotel, clinic and a private driver.

Dining

Recommendations, reservations and meal delivery.

Experiences

Restaurants, shopping, museums, tours, local attractions and activities compatible with recovery.

Personal care

Barber, hairdresser, nails, lashes and approved wellness professionals.

Convenience

Laundry, shopping, clothing and pharmacy support for items prescribed by the physician.

Recovery support

Qualified recovery professionals where appropriate, services approved by the physician, and transport for the return.

You were already considering the procedure. What if the same budget, or even less, could give you more?

The procedure and the trip should feel like one experience, not two separate purchases.

  • Exceptional care.
  • A personal concierge.
  • A trip through Brazil.
  • Good food.
  • Beautiful places.
  • A memorable experience.
  • And savings that can genuinely matter.

Why you can trust this

Only claims we can actually support appear here. Certifications we are working towards are not displayed until they are earned.

    RefreshU does not describe itself as HIPAA certified, approved or verified, and does not display an accreditation that belongs to a provider as if it belonged to RefreshU.

    Book your call

    Three steps: about you, the procedure you are considering, and a time for your concierge call. Nothing clinical is asked here.

    Book your call

    The call is with your RefreshU concierge, not with a physician. RefreshU does not make clinical decisions and does not promise a clinical outcome.

    Questions people ask first

    Who decides whether I am a candidate?

    A participating physician does, after reviewing your questionnaire and photos. RefreshU coordinates the journey and never makes the medical decision.

    Is this medical tourism?

    Not in the way that phrase is normally used. RefreshU is a concierge service built around a physician led journey, where the trip is designed rather than improvised.

    How much will I save?

    It depends on the procedure and on what you compare it to. We publish comparisons only where the figures and the methodology can be verified and approved.

    Can someone travel with me?

    Yes. Packages support a partner, a friend or family, and your companion can look into a treatment of their own if they want to.

    What happens to my medical information?

    It is collected through a private questionnaire and sent for review by the physician handling your case.

    What about travel insurance?

    Delays and cancellations can affect the medical schedule, and real coverage depends on each individual policy. RefreshU does not promise reimbursement.
