What does 'FDA-approved' mean for aesthetic treatments in the Philippines?

The Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluates and approves medical devices and injectable products used in aesthetic clinics. Clinics that use FDA-approved equipment and products have met regulatory safety standards. Always ask your physician which specific products and devices are being used and whether they hold Philippine FDA clearance.

How do I choose the right aesthetic clinic in Manila?

Look for board-certified dermatologists or plastic surgeons, published treatment menus with pricing, and a consultation process that diagnoses before prescribing. Clinics that push treatments without a thorough assessment, or quote prices only after consultation, warrant caution. Our editors recommend booking consultations at two or three clinics before committing to any treatment over ₱30,000.

What is the difference between Botox and fillers?

Botox (botulinum toxin) temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines and crow's feet. Dermal fillers add volume — typically using hyaluronic acid — to restore lost facial fullness or define contours. Both are safe in qualified hands and often used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

How often should I get Botox or fillers?

Botox typically lasts 3–4 months and is repeated accordingly. Hyaluronic acid fillers last 9–18 months depending on the product and area treated. Most physicians recommend a 2-week follow-up after any new injection treatment to assess results and make any minor corrections needed.
