Red Flags to Walk Away From Immediately
Any clinic that skips a skin analysis before your first treatment is not practicing esthetics — it is practicing guesswork. A thorough consultation involves reviewing your current routine, identifying sensitivities, and ideally using a Woods lamp or digital skin scanner to assess hydration levels, pigmentation, and pore behavior. Without this data, even a well-executed HydraFacial can trigger a reaction on reactive skin.
The Five Questions Every Client Should Ask
Before booking any treatment over ₱3,000, ask the following: What brand of product will you use, and can I see the label? What is the expected downtime? What happens if I have a reaction — is there a licensed physician on call? How many sessions until I should see visible results? What should I avoid for the 48 hours after treatment? A credible clinic will answer all five without hesitation.
