The Anti-Aging & Wellness Clinic in San José’s upscale Escazú district is Costa Rica’s premier destination for age management, longevity, and regenerative medicine. Serving both men and women—including a large international clientele—the clinic offers personalized programs that blend advanced diagnostics, hormone optimization, and regenerative therapies to help patients look and feel their best at every age.
Founded and directed by Dr. Leslie Mesen, one of Latin America’s pioneers in anti-aging medicine, the clinic takes a full-spectrum approach to health. Every patient begins with comprehensive lab testing and a detailed lifestyle evaluation. Treatment plans address hormonal balance, nutrition, physical vitality, skin health, and cognitive function, creating a customized roadmap for lasting wellness.
Dr. Mesen earned his medical degree from Universidad de Iberoamérica (UNIBE) in Costa Rica and trained at the University of Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital in the United States. He is board-certified by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine (A4M) and continues advanced studies across the U.S. and Latin America.
The clinic operates two branches: the main Escazú office near Avenida Escazú and MultiPlaza Mall—convenient to hotels, restaurants, and shopping—and another in Costa Rica’s Blue Zone on the Pacific Coast. Both locations uphold the same high medical and safety standards for which Costa Rica’s healthcare sector is internationally recognized.

I spent 3 months with this clinic to finish several treatments. Located in a wealthy business part of Escazu, San Jose, C.R. Each Physician were very accommodating, approachable, & friendly. Willing to go out of their way (in a number of ways) to satisfy my needs- going beyond the arrangements that we already had established-in order to keep me satisfied with the over all service the clinic was providing. I would highly recommend this clinic to everyone-without a doubt.
Just wanted you to know, at least a couple times per week someone tells me that: a) I look like I am getting younger and younger each year (for those that know me) OR b) They can NOT believe that I am 47 years old – “37 MAYBE but there is NO WAY you are 47!” So, a big “thank you” for your help over the years. Regaining my health has spurred a veritable renaissance in all aspects of my life for which I am extremely grateful
I'm 42 and was feeling less and less energetic. I was exercising, but it was nearly impossible to get stronger. My waist was growing and confidence level was sinking. Bloodwork at Anti-Aging Institute of the Americas revealed a low Testosterone level. Dr Mesen explained to me that this was causing my symptoms. He treated me with implantable testosterone pellets. It was a painless procedure that took about 5 minutes in his office. Within a week later I was sleeping better. My exercise routine became more rewarding as stamina and strength became noticeably greater!
Recently I visited Costa Rica only to find out just prior to boarding my flight at the airport in Los Angeles that I had forgotten my thyroid medication. This is disastrous for me as I have Hashimoto's which is an autoimmune thyroid disorder. Even the smallest dose decline in the past has resulted in me having major symptoms. I am very sensitive to the slightest change in my medication. I am a patient of a famous anti-aging doctor in Europe and have been seeing him for the past 9 years. During the course of time I have been introduced to highly sophisticated anti-aging medicine. When I called the Anti Aging and Wellness Clinic in Costa Rica I had an incredibly warm response to my problem. They arranged to have my unique form of thyroid medication compounded at a special pharmacy in a swift and professional manner. You see, I buy my thyroid medication in Europe and in the past have done very poorly on synthetic thyroid and even Armour Thyroid as is normally prescribed in the United States, where I live. The medication they provided me at the Clinic was smooth, even, and I felt like I had not missed a beat. I was very impressed with the clinic’s professionalism as well as their comprehensive approach to anti-aging medicine. I believe they are on the cutting edge and in fact considerably ahead of many clinics I have encountered in the States. I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone who may want to begin this treatment or to someone that would like to transfer their care. I believe they are highly competent, professional and compassionate.
I am very satisfied and motivated because for a long time I have tried to lose weight, but had failed on my own. Since I started the weight-loss program at the Anti Aging and Wellness Clinic, I managed to loose over 40 pounds in less than 1 year. I am infinitely grateful for the attention the Doctors have given me and their ability to help me achieve my transformation. My transformation is nothing less than amazing. Even more importantly - I feel so good about myself. I have seen only positive results and my quality of life has since improved as well as my health and aesthetics.
