How to Find a Legitimate Aesthetic Clinic Near You

Follow these 5 steps before booking any procedure in Makati or Metro Manila.

1

Confirm physician credentials

The attending physician should be a PRC-licensed dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Search the PRC Online Verification System (prc.gov.ph) using their name. 'Diplomate' or 'Fellow' of the Philippine Dermatological Society (PDS) indicates higher specialty training.

2

Check DOH registration

Clinics offering laser procedures, injectables, and surgical cosmetic treatments are required to hold a DOH Certificate of Authority. Ask to see it — reputable clinics display it openly.

3

Verify equipment authenticity

Ask for the brand and model of laser used. Established brands: Candela, Cynosure, Alma, Syneron, Lumenis, Fotona. Unbranded or 'no-name' devices are a warning sign.

4

Assess consultation protocol

Any clinic that offers to perform injectables or laser treatment without a formal consultation is operating below standard. A proper consultation includes skin analysis, medical history review, and written informed consent.

5

Read reviews carefully

Look for verified reviews on Google Maps, not just Facebook or clinic websites. Filter for reviews mentioning specific procedures — not just general praise.
