WHO WE ARE
At The Skin Institute, we are dedicated to improving skin health through science-led skincare, professional expertise, and long-term treatment strategies. Our philosophy is simple: healthy, youthful-looking skin is not created through quick fixes, but through consistent care guided by clinical knowledge and a deep understanding of how the skin functions.
We specialise in advanced, results-driven skincare rooted in the internationally respected philosophy of Environ Skin Care, developed by renowned plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes.
His pioneering research into the essential role of vitamin A in maintaining normal, healthy skin forms the foundation of our approach. We focus on strengthening the skin at a cellular level, helping it become more resilient, balanced, and capable of ageing beautifully over time.
Our clinic was founded by an experienced skincare therapist with over a decade of professional experience in London’s skincare and beauty industry. Bringing this expertise back to Portugal, we are the first to introduce Environ skincare into both clinical practice and professional retail in the country. Our mission remains clear: to help clients look fresher, healthier, and more youthful in a way that is natural, progressive, and sustainable.
Located in the heart of Lisbon, in the prestigious Amoreiras area, The Skin Institute offers a discreet, elegant, and professional environment where skin health is the priority.
What truly defines us is our personalised approach. We understand that every person’s skin is different, influenced by genetics, lifestyle, sun exposure, stress, and previous skincare habits. For this reason, we do not believe in generic treatments or one-size-fits-all routines. Each client begins with a detailed skin consultation, where we assess skin condition, concerns, sensitivities, and long-term goals. From there, we design tailored treatment plans and homecare programs to support gradual, visible improvement.
Our work is guided by the understanding that professional treatments and homecare must work together.
Clinical studies and years of experience show that real, lasting results are achieved when advanced in-clinic treatments are combined with consistent, scientifically formulated products used at home. This synergy allows us to support skin rejuvenation, improve texture and tone, strengthen the skin barrier, and help reduce the visible signs of environmental damage and ageing.
We are also committed to making professional skincare accessible beyond the treatment room. For clients who cannot always visit in person, we offer online and phone consultations and follow-up support, ensuring continuity of care. We also provide nationwide free delivery of professional skincare products, allowing clients across Portugal to maintain their routines with confidence and expert guidance.
At The Skin Institute, skincare is not about trends or temporary results. It is about science, education, and long-term skin wellbeing.
We are here to guide you every step of the way toward stronger, healthier, more resilient skin that reflects your vitality at every age.
