How much does Botox cost in Malta?

A transparent breakdown of anti-wrinkle injection pricing in Malta, what affects the cost, and why €220 starting prices are realistic.

At Pasha Med Aesthetics in Sliema, anti-wrinkle injections start from €220 for a single area. Most patients budget €350–€480 for the classic three-area treatment (forehead, frown and crow's feet).

Prices vary across Malta clinics because the cost reflects the practitioner's medical qualification, the toxin brand used, the units required for your anatomy, and post-treatment review. Beware of pricing significantly below market rates — it is usually a sign of under-dosing, diluted product, or non-medical injectors.

Your exact plan is confirmed during a complimentary consultation with our licensed aesthetic doctor. We never up-sell beyond what your face needs — the goal is a softer, expressive look that ages naturally.

Is Profhilo® worth it? An honest doctor's perspective

Profhilo® has become one of the most-requested skin treatments in Malta — but is it right for you? Here's how we decide.

Profhilo® is a bio-remodelling injectable: it does not add volume like a filler. Instead, hyaluronic acid spreads beneath the skin to deeply hydrate and stimulate collagen and elastin.

It is most worth it for patients with skin laxity, dullness or dehydration who want quality of skin rather than reshaping. Patients in their late 20s to 60s see the clearest benefit, with results visible 4 weeks after the first session.

It is not the right tool if you want lift, projection, or facial balancing — for those goals, dermal fillers or a combination protocol is more effective.

Lip fillers in Sliema: subtle results, not duck lips

Why the best lip filler is the one nobody notices — and how we approach lip enhancement at our Sliema clinic.

The most common request at our Sliema clinic is for lips that look like a better version of your own — hydrated, balanced and naturally shaped. We use conservative volumes (0.5–1 ml per session), refined cannula technique and lidocaine-infused fillers for comfort.

Lip filler is suitable from age 21+, with realistic expectations and outside of pregnancy or breastfeeding. Results last 9–12 months. We always review at 2 weeks to refine if needed.

If you are unsure, start with a half-syringe and see how you feel. Restraint is the cornerstone of natural-looking results.

How to prepare for your first injectable consultation

What to expect, what to ask, and how to plan around your calendar before your first appointment.

Avoid blood-thinning supplements (fish oil, vitamin E, high-dose ibuprofen) for 48 hours before injectables — they increase bruising risk.

Arrive without makeup if possible, hydrated and well-fed. We will photograph your resting face for medical records and discuss your concerns in detail.

Plan at least 7–10 days before any major event. Light bruising or swelling can take up to a week to fully resolve.

Hair thinning in Malta's climate: what actually works

Evidence-led options for early-stage hair loss — and why the first step is always a scalp diagnostic.

Malta's sun, sea and chlorine exposure adds stress to the hair shaft, but most hair thinning is driven by genetics, hormones and nutrition rather than the climate itself.

For early to moderate thinning, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections combined with a topical and oral protocol show the strongest evidence base. A course of 3–4 monthly sessions delivers visible density change at 3–4 months.

If you have full alopecia or scarring hair loss, PRP is not the right tool — we will refer you appropriately rather than treat for the sake of it.

Profhilo® vs dermal filler: what's the difference?

Two different tools, two different goals — how to choose between bio-remodelling and volume restoration.

Dermal fillers are designed to add structure: cheek projection, jawline definition, lip shape or tear trough correction. They restore volume that has been lost.

Profhilo® is designed to improve the quality of skin: hydration, glow and firmness. It does not change your shape.

Many patients benefit from a layered protocol — Profhilo® for skin quality, filler for structure, and Botox for movement — staged across 6–8 weeks.
