Why Makati
Why Choose Makati for Beauty Treatments?
Longest-established specialists
Makati's Salcedo and Legaspi Village clinics have been operating for 15–25 years. Many leading dermatologists built their practices here before BGC existed, meaning deeper patient histories and more refined technique.
Physician-led boutique care
Unlike high-volume mall chains, Makati's premium clinics offer personalized physician consultations where the same doctor treats you every visit. This consistency produces better outcomes for complex cases.
Complex case expertise
Makati attracts patients with difficult skin conditions — severe melasma, resistant acne, surgical scars — that require specialist-level care. The concentration of complex cases has made Makati physicians among the most experienced in Southeast Asia.

Tips
How to Choose a Makati Beauty Clinic
Verify physician credentials on PRC
Look up the attending dermatologist on prc.gov.ph. For injectable work, confirm the physician performs the procedure personally — not just a nurse. Wilson & Ayache and CorDerm are examples where the named doctor treats you directly.
Ask for a written treatment plan
Any reputable Makati clinic will provide a written, itemized treatment plan with pricing before starting work. This is standard at established practices — if a clinic resists, consider it a red flag.
Request Filipino patient before-and-afters
Generic stock photos mean nothing. Ask for actual patient results with skin tone similar to yours. J Clinic and CorDerm have extensive photo libraries from years of practice.
Confirm device brands for laser work
Ask: 'What brand and model is your laser?' and 'What settings do you use for Filipino skin?' A physician who cannot answer has limited experience with your skin type. Look for PicoWay, Fraxel, or CO2RE.
Understand the full cost before committing
Makati premium clinics sometimes quote consultation-only prices. Confirm whether quoted prices include: numbing cream, post-care products, follow-up visits, and touch-up sessions.
