Luminisce Celebrates 10th Anniversary With New Refresh Microtherapy
Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovations, my trusted skin clinic and dermatologist for the past decade, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month. That’s 10 years of bringing the best beauty treatments, innovations, technology, and practices from all over the globe to the Philippines. I started going to Luminisce back in 2013 at their first outlet in Bonifacio Global City. I had been to other beauty clinics before but it was Dr. Kaycee who really stood out with her personalized treatments and recommendations that were best suited for me.
Now, they have become one of the most popular beauty clinics in the country with other branches at the Podium and in Alabang. To celebrate their 10th year, Luminisce hosted a small get together at the Molito, Alabang branch last week. It was the first time for me to visit this clinic and I was happy that Luminisce is now able to serve their clients in the South.
Before Luminisce even opened its doors, Dr. Kristina “Kaycee” Cuevas Reyes Bacani, made it her mission to bring the best dermatological practices from all over the world home to the Philippines. She completed her Diploma in Dermatology at London’s prestigious King’s College, and furthering her education with a Master of Science degree in Clinical Dermatology at St. John’s Institute of Dermatology.
It is this distinct worldview and experience she brings to the Philippines through Luminisce, now considered to be one of the country’s leading skin and wellness centers. Dr. Kaycee Reyes also makes sure that Luminisce is always at the forefront of technology and innovation, constantly bringing in the latest products and machines so that patients can receive the best, world-class care from the comfort of Luminisce’s clinics. For me, it is simply her personalized care and commitment to each guest that comes in for a consultation that made me become a loyal client of Luminisce until now.
The 10th Anniversary of Luminisce was celebrated with lots of food and drinks for all the guests. We even had sparkling wine early in the morning, but no one was complaining. We were also entertained by a trio of musicians who even performed requested songs.
We also got to talk with Dr. Kaycee herself before our scheduled treatments for the day. Luminisce’s menu of services range from the key essential treatments such as regular facials and neurotoxins like Botox to advanced energy devices and lasers such as Ultherapy, Thermage FLX, Sofwave. Luminisce has also been a recipient of multiple awards from prestigious companies and awarding bodies such as Merz, Lutronic, and Dermasia. Last 2019, Luminisce was recognized as the No.1 provider of Ultherapy in the Philippines.
For today, I will be trying out a new treatment called Refresh Microtherapy, so I got ready in one of their treatment rooms for some beauty pampering. Refresh Microtherapy is a new treatment that was pioneered in the Philippines by Luminisce, which is known for their bespoke approach to treatments. Oily skin has always been a problem for many women. Refresh Microtherapy claims to be able to tighten pores and significantly reduce oiliness, keeping all that grease and acne at bay.
We started our session with some topical anesthesia cream applied to my face. This will numb the skin because there will be some injections done later. Refresh Microtherapy involves the use of a 24-karat gold microneedling device to deliver a specially mixed cocktail deep into the skin.
A sample of blood was drawn from my arm and put into a centrifuge machine in order to extract the Platelet-Rich Plasma, which is then mixed into a cocktail. The cocktail is a special mix of a growth factor, neurotoxins, and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid. Growth factors are skin rejuvenating ingredients that help stimulate tissue regeneration and renewal. These are found in our own platelet-rich plasma.
The special cocktail that contains all three ingredients regulates sweat and sebum production, resulting in an overall decrease in acne and visible pore tightening. It also visibly improves the skin’s sheen and gives it a radiant glow, minus all the grease. It also helps regulate melanin for a more even skin tone, and restores and regenerates collagen for added plumpness.
The cocktail is then injected slowly into the skin using the tiny injections on the bottle. Don’t worry, It wasn’t painful at all because of the anesthesia, so I just relaxed as the nurse completed this step.
The next procedure to be done was the injection of Botox. These neurotoxins are commonly injected into patients to preserve structure, smooth wrinkles, and lift the skin. You’ll commonly hear of Botox being used to help inhibit excessive sweating on the hands, face, and armpits. In the case of Refresh Microtherapy, neurotoxins are added into the cocktail to decrease sebum production—the decrease in sebum leads to the reduction of acne and the visible shinkage of pores.
My face was a bit reddish after the procedure but only for a short while. There’s no downtime or need to stay indoors after the procedure, so I even went straight to another event afterwards. I looked as fresh as a daisy!
While waiting for me, my husband Dexter also had his own personalized treatment done at Luminisce. He always had a problem with deep acne scars and marks on his face, so Dr. Kaycee recommended him to do their Dermablate Laser Service.
The Dermablate Laser is the gold standard for the safe and gentle removal of lesions on the surface of the skin and on the dermis, providing effective treatment without any thermal damage. This ultra-precise laser is your go-to for addressing long-term scars and marks, and for removing skin tags.
If you want to experience the same beauty treatments from Luminisce, you may schedule a consultation with a Luminisce dermatologist by visiting or calling any of their clinics. New patients can even get a discount on their treatments by posting a photo of the promotion on their social media accounts. Luminisce has continued offering world-class service to its loyal clients, and I am happy to have been part of their journey. Congratulations once again to Luminisce on your 10th Anniversary!
