New Medical Tourism Offerings from Luxury Adults-Only Hotel in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (January 18, 2011) – With medical tourism expected to be a $100 billion industry by 2012, Casa Velas expands its medical program, combining the most advanced elective procedures with a luxurious recuperation stay. The adults-only all-inclusive boutique hotel and ocean club in Puerto Vallarta works in conjunction with the board-certified, bilingual doctors of Amerimed, a network of hospitals in Mexico adhering to US healthcare standards. The hotel supplements its preexisting noninvasive Wellness Program with new sets of elective surgeries and cosmetic procedures.

Treatments ranging from facelifts, tummy tucks, rhinoplasties, mammoplasties and gastric bypass, to botox, varicose vein treatments and much more are available.

Following procedures, Casa Velas provides a restful and relaxing retreat for recuperation where patients receive personal attention 24-hours a day from the staff as well as visits from qualified medical personnel to attend to post-surgery needs. Mainly sourced from the resort’s on-site garden, which holds over 30 varieties of fruits, vegetables and herbs, fresh, creative cuisine is filled with nutritional catalysts and anti-oxidants. The body-smart meals and personalized diet plans, comprised of all-natural ingredients, are created by Casa Velas’ Wellness Chef Fernanda Rábago, who attended the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu in Paris.
