From Manila with Love Blog




Gone are the days when skin clinics are only for those with extreme skin issues and who were rolling in dough. There are multitudes of skin clinics now available for the vast majority of people who want to address various skin concerns.

When you think of laser procedures, you'd think it's really expensive and opt out...therein enters Substance Clinic.

They offer skin procedures that rival any other skin clinic's. Quality is not compromised here regardless of the price - as is their motto.

Launch pictures below!

Their clinic is soo my style.


There were a lot of people including media and influencers so it was a little hectic for the Substance team.


Me feeling my oats.


I visited them again after their launching to try out their services. And being a part of #peopleofsubstance, I was privy to their main laser treatment every month.


I had popped blood vessels on my face that day but the whole treatment was quick and regardless of what I felt about their demeanour, she had light and experienced hands.

It wasn't without hitches though. I went in for the monthly treatment but they thought I was being adamant in getting the 'launching laser treatment of my choice' which was already past due - and I of course knew it. After that tiny commercial it was onto the actual skin treatment.

It wasn't really my first time getting a laser treatment done, but it has been ages since. I did the "Holy Grail Laser" (Php 4,000). A laser treatment that tackles acne, freckles, dull skin and uneven pigmentation.

Over-all the treatment lasted no more than 15 minutes. 20 tops because they took photos of my skin before and after, so as to see the progress after every treatment.

TIPS:
- After the laser, WASH your face only after 24 hours
- Lasers work better, according to my skin tech, after a facial
- ALWAYS use sunblock! Especially after a laser treatment!

All-in-all I really liked the place. It's not the 'clinical' squeeky clean type of clinic or the overtly hyper feminine clinic and opulent royalty type clinic. It's very clean, modern, urban- 'brooklyn' feel that most coffee shops I tend to gravitate towards have. It definitely fits the androgynous vibe everyone is bound to appreciate. So our fragile "guy-guys" will not feel out of place here.


Have you tried this clinic and will you try it?

USE MY CODE SUBSTANCECJ18 for a skin consultation worth Php1000! Why not? You might end up liking it there.

PS. Their social media is chock full of 'aesthetic' pictures. I LOVE IT.
PPS. Staff could be a little more welcoming? There was no warmth in the whole encounter. I could only pick one person there who was amicable. Maybe it was a bad day. Oh well, we all have those :)

Last , October 17th I was invited by the Cathy Valencia team to their branch blessing and intimate launching of their latest line at Eastwood City.

Cathy Valencia Advanced Skin Clinic - Established in 2002 - more than a decade in the skin and beauty industry- it's one of the most prominent and trusted clinics until today.


Its President and CEO, Ms. Cathy Valencia-Lim is a duly certified skin expert, having completed a degree in Atopic Dermatitis and Acne Management in Izumo Hospital in Shimane-Ken, Japan, plus extensive training in Beautiful Earth Skin Products under Dr. Tetsuo Santo of Beautiful Earth USA Incorporated. With her expertise and dedication to skin care, Cathy Valencia does not settle for anything below par.



Knowing her background as you walk in one of their clinics you can immediately tell that you'll be in good and capable hands. The posh color scheme and delicate furnishings give off a warm and tasteful luxury that Cathy Valencia-Lim herself seems to evoke.

With services that range from simple facials and peels to laser treatments and cosmetic surgery CV has covered all there is to cover when it comes to aesthetic beautification.

Knowing the clinic's impressive roster of clients and endorsers [Rufa Mae Quinto, James Yap, Erich Gonzales and Vina Morales to name a few] I asked Ms. Cathy Valencia, what she could tell the young professionals so they won't be to intimidated to get something done for themselves.

Their latest products — The Eternal Youth line. Lightening Cream, Soft Cream and Anti-aging Sunscreen SPF 50


  • Eternal Youth Lightening Cream - A natural skin lightening cream that inhibits melanin formation and provides exceptional brightening benefits fading the appearance of dark scars and discolorations. Fights photo-ageing, increases smoothness and cell vitality.
  • Eternal Youth Soft Cream [For day and night] - Aids in cell repair and longevity. Hydrates dead skin and rejuvenates skin cells. Formulated with bioactive polypeptides and biometic peptides that compensate for the natural loss of youth proteins as we age. --- wow.
  • Eternal Youth Anti-Aging Sunscreen with SPF 50 - Stimulates DNA repair mechanism after UV irradiation. A fast-acting cream that provides all-day moisture delivering a visible lift and reduces the risk of developing chronic photodamage.

She mentioned the importance of spending on yourself to be the best version of you when meeting new people and just for the fact that one needs to indulge a little. And I agree, one does need to indulge from time to time and what better investment than yourself? Especially young professionals, who work hard (and party harder) hustling away, taking care of yourself should be top priority.

After all prevention is better than the cure.

Employing cutting-edge technology and showcasing an extensive range of products made from materials imported and specially formulated in Japan, USA, France along with rigorous testing and certifications from international and local quality control standards, their pricing is still affordable according to them. Given how long they've been in the industry, their prices might be a little more steep than the casual "facial place" you might frequent.
