BGC's three most talked-about aesthetic clinics compared across technique, ambience, pricing, and results. Our editors visited all three — here is the unfiltered verdict.
BGC's aesthetic clinic landscape has three dominant names that come up in every conversation: Belo Medical Group, Luminisce Clinic, and The Aivee Institute. All three are excellent. All three are meaningfully different. This comparison is designed to help you choose the right one for your specific goals — not to declare a winner, because the right answer depends entirely on what you're trying to achieve.
Belo Medical Group BGC — The Institutional Standard
Belo is the benchmark. Three decades of Philippine aesthetic medicine, a team of senior dermatologists, and the most comprehensive treatment menu in BGC. The Ultherapy results we observed during our editorial evaluation were the finest non-surgical lifting we've encountered across 14 clinics reviewed this quarter. Botox from ₱15,000 per area. Ultherapy from ₱120,000 full face.
Luminisce Clinic — The Korean-Influenced Boutique
Luminisce is BGC's most design-forward clinic and the best choice for clients who want Korean-philosophy results: barrier-first, gradual improvement, natural outcomes. The Glass Skin Protocol at ₱18,500 is the most sophisticated skin-quality treatment in the district. The clinic's VISIA consultation process is the most thorough pre-treatment analysis available in BGC.
The Aivee Institute — The Celebrity Standard
Dr. Aivee Teo's clinic brings the most media-visible physician in Philippine aesthetics to a genuinely excellent clinical practice. The Aivee Signature Lift at ₱85,000 is the most sought-after non-surgical procedure in BGC, with a 6-8 week waiting list. The consultation process is notably unhurried — Dr. Teo's team takes time to explain the science behind each recommendation.
Which Clinic for Which Goal
Best for Ultherapy and lifting: Belo. Best for glass skin and Korean protocols: Luminisce. Best for thread lifts and signature procedures: Aivee Institute. Best for first-time Botox: Luminisce or Belo. Best for complex filler contouring: Belo or Aivee.
