Humberto Barbosa

Founder of Clínica do Tempo

Humberto Barbosa was born in Funchal and is a nutritionist. When he was young he met some people who were over a hundred years old, and realised that this was due to their healthy living habits. In 2008, after completing 25 years of his career, he founded Clínica do Tempo®, setting forth on a new process of rejuvenation and balance to achieve longevity, with innovative clinical solutions. He reached the peak of his career this year, with Clínica do Tempo having being awarded the Oscar of Quality and Excellence as world leader in the area of ​​anti-ageing and non-invasive ‘liposuction’.

Is success of the Clínica do Tempo what you has aspired to?
What the Clínica do Tempo has achieved has exceeded all my expectations. We have created a market that previously did not exist, with cutting-edge technology and protocols never before explored, and this has made it possible for us to help all our customers in a totally non-invasive way. All this makes Clínica do Tempo a worldwide benchmark.

Are nutrition, anti-ageing and non-invasive ‘liposuction’ complementary areas?
The simplest way to delay our biological clock is to fill in what is missing in our body and get rid of what we have too much of – free radicals, heavy metals and fat. The most important is fat because the diseases that kill the most are cardiovascular. It has been proven that the larger the waist circumference, the shorter the life expectancy. In this way, these are areas that complement each other and are part of our Food and Behavioural Re-education Programme with Body Modelling.

Is it essential to keep abreast of the technological advances in your area of ​​activity?
Undoubtedly, at all levels, including technological. Our new treatment - Liposhaper® REV - represents such a technological breakthrough. Ten years ago, when we introduced the first non-invasive "liposuction” in Portugal, the treatment was based on 0.12 Mhz ultrasound. Our new treatment - Liposhaper® REV - does exactly the same, but uses a low-density 635nm laser with even more effective results.

In your opinion, what led, recently in New York, to you being given the ‘Oscar’ of Quality and Excellence?
The IDB decided to award to the Clínica do Tempo this award for the work that we have been doing for more than 35 years in the area of ​​health, wellness and longevity, using nothing but totally non-invasive methods, with proven results. I feel pride and satisfaction and would like to thank all those who work with me, because this is a collective prize.

Any new clinics on the way?
We recently opened a clinic in the Algarve. We’ll have more news to tell you soon. Our priority is, however, to bring foreign customers to Portugal, because besides being able to treat them in our clinics we are also helping the country’s economy. In 2017 we welcomed customers from 53 countries. Our clientele recommends our treatments and the excellent results obtained with them. Each of our customers sends us, on average, five new customers!
