In need of a break but don’t have the time to go on a long vacation? Treat yourself to a pamper day instead – if you’re the type to find relaxation from treatments and services for your face and body, this emerging aesthetic franchise clinic has a variety of treatments to try. Established in 2013, Skin Manila is a comprehensive general dermatology practice that offers a wide range of dermatological solutions using state-of-the-art technology.

Last week, the 8List Team was invited by Skin Manila to travel to Baguio to celebrate their SM Baguio branch’s first anniversary. The 124 sqm Baguio clinic houses a wide catalog of infusion treatments, cosmetic surgery services, rejuvenation, and skin repair with their in-house skin care product, Prescription Skin Care (PSC).

During our visit, we were treated to an afternoon of relaxing treatments: Pevonia Light & Luminous Facial, Exilis Face & Neck, and Signature Elite Spa. Snacks and refreshments from Skin Manila’s cafe were also prepared, which customers may purchase after their treatments or while waiting in the lounge.

Take this as a sign to treat yourself too, and check out this list of some of Skin Manila’s best-selling treatments:

Pevonia Light & Luminous Facial (PHP 3,800)

Air pollution and stress from school or school – these are just some causes of irritated and dull skin. Skin Manila offers a variety of medical-grade facials that use exfoliating and hydrating treatments that will help improve the skin’s appearance. Pevonia Light and Luminous is a European facial that uses Pevonia International TM signature strokes and luminescent botanical essence. This relaxes your facial muscles and the service takes an hour.

Exilis Face & Neck (PHP 5,000)

Want to bring back ~glow~ to your skin? Exilis Elite for the face and neck tightens and contours the skin by forcing heat deeply into the skin using cooling technology. This stimulates the production of collagen, which is helpful in tightening the skin, adding plumpness, and reducing wrinkles. Don’t worry about the heat as a cooling gel will be applied during the treatment.

IPL Hair Removal (starts at PHP 2,500)

Hair growth is totally normal but here’s to those who want to reduce them and eventually prevent regrowth in the long run. This is perfect if you want to avoid monthly hair removal appointments, which can also be irritating to the skin. Prices start at PHP 2,500 per session for the upper lip, or you can go for a 12-month unlimited session package for PHP 10,000.

Lash lift with Mascara Tint (PHP 2,200)

Here’s an aesthetic service that’s perfect for people who are always on the go. If you wish to shorten your time for getting ready in the morning, try investing in a Lash lift with Mascara Tint service for that ~I-woke-up-like-this~ look. It uses a semi-permanent lift and curl procedure that keeps your lashes damage-free.

Ultraformer III Face (starts at PHP 60,000)

We may not have found the fountain of youth yet but Skin Manila has its version of it. Their ULTRAFORMER III Face treatment is their second best-selling service. It’s the world’s number one high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment that features a non-invasive procedure that lifts, tightens, and contours the face over time. This targets skin sagging, elasticity, and wrinkling. The best thing about it is you’ll see immediate results and it may be done once a year.

Signature Elite Spa (starts at PHP 1,400)

Cap off your treatment day with a relaxing Signature Elite Spa. Skin Manila has expert massage therapists who help ease your tense muscles and improve circulation. Nothing feels better than having muscle spasms removed!
