A growing number of Americans are discovering what savvy medical tourists have known for years: Lima, Peru offers world-class aesthetic medicine at a fraction of US prices. Not discount medicine in a back room somewhere, but board-certified surgeons, FDA-cleared devices, and premium products from the same global brands used in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.
The difference? In Lima, you'll pay 50 to 70 percent less for the same treatment. And at Elyzea in Miraflores, you'll receive it in a setting that feels more like a luxury boutique than a clinic.
The Numbers: What You Actually Save
Here's how Elyzea's pricing compares to typical US costs for the most popular non-invasive treatments:
| Treatment | US Average | Elyzea | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|
| HIFU (full face) | $1,500 - $3,000 | From $250 | Up to 85% |
| Neuromodulators (full face) | $400 - $800 | From $150 | Up to 80% |
| Hyaluronic acid fillers (per syringe) | $600 - $1,200 | From $200 | Up to 80% |
| Cryolipolysis (per area) | $750 - $1,500 | From $50 | Up to 95% |
| HydraFacial | $200 - $400 | From $50 | Up to 85% |
| Morpheus8 (full face) | $1,000 - $3,000 | From $500 | Up to 80% |
| Laser hair removal (per session) | $200 - $400 | From $15 | Up to 95% |
For many patients, the savings on a single HIFU or Morpheus8 session more than cover the cost of a round-trip flight from Miami (often under $350) or even from New York (typically $400-$600). Add a few days in Miraflores — Lima's safest, most walkable district — and you have a trip that pays for itself.
Same Technology, Same Brands — Different Price Tag
One of the most common concerns we hear from American patients is: "Are you using the same equipment?" The answer is yes. Elyzea uses internationally certified medical devices with FDA and CE clearances. The hyaluronic acid fillers are from the same global manufacturers. The neuromodulators are the same pharmaceutical-grade products. The difference in cost comes from lower operating expenses in Peru, not lower quality.
Dr. Geldres, Elyzea's medical director, is a board-certified plastic surgeon — the same credential standard you'd look for at home. She personally evaluates every patient and oversees all procedures.
What Americans Love About Elyzea
Based on our experience with international patients, here's what consistently stands out:
- Free virtual consultation before you fly. Talk to Dr. Geldres via video call, discuss your goals, and get a treatment plan before booking your flight. No surprises when you arrive.
- Combine multiple treatments in one trip. Many US patients take advantage of the savings to schedule several procedures they've been putting off — HIFU plus neuromodulators, cryolipolysis plus HydraFacial, fillers plus laser. At US prices, combining treatments is prohibitively expensive. In Lima, it's realistic.
- English-speaking staff. From booking to follow-up, communication is seamless. Our English website, WhatsApp support, and bilingual team mean you never feel lost in translation.
- Miraflores is not what you expect. First-time visitors are often surprised by how cosmopolitan, safe, and walkable the neighborhood is. Boutique hotels, excellent restaurants, the Pacific coastline — it's a genuine vacation destination, not just a medical trip.
- Pay with your US cards — no surcharges. We accept all major credit and debit cards via POS, and offer secure prepayment links to book in advance. No extra fees, no cash hassle.
- Zero downtime treatments. Most of our procedures — HIFU, cryolipolysis, HydraFacial, laser hair removal — require no recovery time. You can have a treatment in the morning and be exploring Barranco or dining at a top restaurant that evening.
A Typical 4-Day Elyzea Trip
Here's what a real treatment trip looks like for many of our American patients:
Day 1 (Arrival): Land at Jorge Chávez International Airport. It's a 30-minute ride to your hotel in Miraflores. Settle in, enjoy dinner at one of Miraflores's acclaimed restaurants. Rest up.
Day 2 (Treatment day): Morning consultation and first treatments at Elyzea — perhaps HIFU and a HydraFacial. Afternoon free to walk the Malecón, visit Larcomar, or relax. Most treatments have zero downtime, so your afternoon is yours.
Day 3 (Second round + explore): If you're combining treatments, day 3 might include neuromodulators, fillers, or cryolipolysis. Afternoon: explore Barranco's street art, visit the Larco Museum, or take a cooking class.
Day 4 (Departure): Morning follow-up check at Elyzea if needed. Head to the airport with better skin, a memorable trip, and thousands of dollars still in your pocket.
The Treatments Americans Book Most
These are the non-invasive procedures our US patients request most frequently:
- HIFU — The non-surgical facelift. Focused ultrasound lifts and tightens without a single incision. One session, visible results within weeks, full effect at 2-3 months. This is the #1 reason Americans fly to Elyzea.
- Neuromodulators — Smooths expression lines and wrinkles. Same product as in the US, applied by a board-certified plastic surgeon, at a fraction of the cost.
- Hyaluronic acid fillers — Restores volume, defines contours, enhances lips. Premium brands, artistic application, natural results.
- Cryolipolysis — Freezes and eliminates stubborn fat without surgery. At Elyzea's prices, treating multiple areas becomes affordable.
- Morpheus8 — Microneedling with radiofrequency for deep skin tightening. One of the most requested combination treatments alongside HIFU.
Is It Safe?
This is the question every first-time medical tourist asks, and it's the right one. Here's the direct answer:
- Dr. Geldres is a board-certified plastic surgeon — the same credential standard as any top US clinic
- All devices carry international certifications (FDA, CE)
- Products are sourced from the same global manufacturers used in the US and Europe
- Elyzea follows strict medical protocols with full hygiene and safety standards
- Miraflores is rated one of the safest districts in all of South America
We also offer post-treatment follow-up via WhatsApp or video call once you're back home, so you're never without medical support.
Payment Is Easy — Use Your US Cards
One less thing to worry about: Elyzea accepts all major credit and debit cards via POS terminal — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, you name it. No need to carry large amounts of cash or deal with currency exchange.
If you'd like to secure your appointment in advance, we also offer prepayment via a secure payment link sent directly to you. This is especially convenient for patients who want to lock in their treatment schedule before flying down.
No additional charges or surcharges on card payments. The price you're quoted is the price you pay, whether you pay in person or online.

The process is straightforward:
- Step 1: Book a free virtual consultation with Dr. Geldres. Discuss your goals, get a personalized treatment plan and quote.
- Step 2: Plan your trip. We can recommend hotels in Miraflores and help you schedule treatments around your travel dates.
- Step 3: Arrive and enjoy. Your treatments are pre-planned, the team is expecting you, and everything is in English.
