To change how people perceive aesthetic treatments, Hydra Skin Clinic seeks to promote the idea that beauty is not just about physical appearance but also about inner well-being.
Dr. Stefanie Eriguel, the clinic’s head physician, actively addresses common misconceptions, particularly the belief that aesthetics is only about superficial enhancements. The clinic focuses on fostering a deeper, more holistic understanding of beauty.
“A lot of people think aesthetics is about vanity, but it’s so much more. It’s about feeling comfortable in your skin and enhancing what you already have, rather than changing how you look,” Eriguel told Manila Standard Life during the clinic’s first anniversary event.
Aiming to redefine the role of aesthetic treatments, Hydra Skin Clinic focused on holistic well-being.
“When you feel good about yourself, you radiate confidence, and that positivity extends to the people around you,” she added.
Meeting the demand for advanced skincare
The demand for anti-aging solutions has seen significant growth in the Philippines, with over 65 percent of skincare consumers seeking products and treatments that promote aging gracefully. In fact, according to market reports, the global anti-aging industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7 percent from 2022 to 2028, indicating a rising awareness of self-care and wellness.
Recognizing this trend, Hydra Skin Clinic in 2023 in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), with a mission to provide noninvasive, high-quality skincare solutions that cater to the growing demographic of professionals prioritizing self-care.
With state-of-the-art technology and internationally trained staff, Hydra has built a reputation for offering luxurious, doctor-recommended treatments that enhance natural beauty without altering it.
“Our goal is to make our clients look their best and feel their best, with an approach that balances aesthetics and wellness,” Eriguel explained.
A personalized approach to beauty
Hydra Skin Clinic takes pride in delivering tailored treatments that focus on the individual needs of each patient. With a dedicated team of dermatologists, aesthetic physicians, and surgeons, the clinic ensures a personalized and holistic approach to skincare.
When asked about the clinic’s top offerings, she emphasized Hydra Glitz, talking about having multiple benefits in just one treatment.
“I think one of our bestsellers is actually the Hydra Glitz. And it’s a combination of both a pigmentation laser and also a facial. It’s a Hydra facial,” stated Eriguel.
“It’s a bestseller because there’s no downtime, and results are immediate. The laser breaks pigmentation into fragments for the body to clear, giving brighter, even-toned skin. It also reduces pore size and fine lines while the facial cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates,” she explained.
To meet the growing demand, Hydra Skin Clinic now offers specialized services catering to men and gynecological aesthetics, further expanding its reach to a diverse clientele.
As Hydra Skin Clinic marked a successful first year, Eriguel emphasized the clinic’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of skincare innovation.
“This year has been a rewarding journey of growth and transformation,” Eriguel said. “We are grateful to our clients and staff who have made this possible, and we look forward to continuing to provide exceptional care with the latest advancements in dermatology and aesthetics.”
