Located in the middle of bustling Makati City, Skin Inc. stands as a veritable grooming gold mine. To rid your skin of the city’s dirt and grime, as well as other skin blights, you can include this center in your shortlist. The clinic boasts of personalized facial services, state-of-the-art machines and certified medical staffing to help achieve your grooming goals.

“One thing we really are proud of is the customization of our services,” explains Dr. Windie Villarica-Hayano, MD, one of Skin Inc.’s founders. “It’s like you come here and we really see you first and do a proper assessment, history, and do proper physical examination. It’s a very medical approach and very personalized.

To other clinics, this type of personalized assessment by the in-house doctor is somewhat perfunctory. Right after the consultation, you will be relegated to the clinic’s aesthetician for actual execution of the treatments. At Skin Inc. the doctors are the ones who perform their own recommendations—keeping one confident that the services are professionally done.

Dr. Hayano shares, “Here, you are not relegated to a technician. That’s also why we don’t do packaged treatments because it would be unethical for us to do that.”

To men, who are getting as persnickety about vanity as women, clinics such as this one address multiple concerns about grooming. Skin Inc. houses the latest machines for extensive dermatological treatments like oxygenation and microdermabrasion. And, considering the high cost of these machines alone, the center still has one of the lowest prices in the market. Even the cosmeceuticals used are of premium ingredients such as Shiseido Tiss as facial cleanser and Cellex-C as topical skin vitamin.

Men also will be pleasantly surprised to learn that Skin Inc. uses these expensive treatments to conduct minor procedures like initial cleansing. For Dr. Hayano all that is necessary for your skin will be done even if it involves machines such as Oxyget or Diamond Peel.

“I’m not saying cheaper machines don’t work, because they do,” quips Dr. Hayano. “But the human factor is a big factor. You still need a brain-controlling a machine for it to work properly. Coming to a center with highly trained doctors really makes a lot of difference.”

Skin Inc. is located at Rm. 303-304, Tritan Plaza, Magallanes Commercial Center, Paseo de Magallanes, Makati City. For appointments, call telephone number 8533024.
