It was 14 years ago when Joanne Yu Ng, now co-founder and managing director of her skin clinic, went on a mission to find effective laser hair removal machines. Back then, beauty-related laser technology wasn’t as accessible in the Philippines, but Joanne believed in its benefits and saw how it could change the way people cared for their skin. That search led her to establish Skinhouse Laser Clinic which is built on the promise of bringing in the best machines and making advanced treatments more available—without compromising safety or quality.

With four branches, with their latest addition at Molito Lifestyle Center, Alabang, in Metro Manila, and a team of trusted board-certified dermatologists, Skinhouse now prides itself on two laser-based treatments that have proven to be not just effective but also safe and patient-friendly.

Radiant skin can be achieved with Angel White Laser sans the downtime as it targets pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and dullness. The effect? “Powder finish glow” in just about 30 minutes.

In an interview with one of their dermatologists, Dr. Ron Michael Dagala explains how this machine stands out, “What sets it apart is that it consists of a few stratified steps, each with its own settings, to address specific skin pigmentation issues.”

Aside from acne scars, dark spots, and melasma can also be treated. “Careful assessment of our board-certified dermatologists is a must for proper application of settings and monitoring of clinical response,” reminds Dr. Dagala. “It also stimulates collagen production, making the skin smoother with pores less visible.”

The treatment can be done on almost any part of the body, with the face and underarms being the most common areas. Visible improvement is typically seen after four to six sessions. Dr. Dagala notes, “Keep in mind that every patient responds differently to every treatment. You can continue getting the treatment until you achieve the results you have in mind.”

Why settle for the hassle of shaving or waxing when there’s a smarter, longer-lasting solution? Exclusive to Skinhouse, the GentleMax Pro Plus offers larger coverage and a higher repetition rate, making each session faster and more efficient. “It also features a unique cooling system, known as cryogen, that ensures greater comfort and added skin protection,” shares Dr. Dagala.

Coverage can range from the smallest areas, like the upper lip, to larger and more delicate spots such as face and bikini line. “Most patients need six to eight sessions, with each one lasting an average of just 10 to 15 minutes,” he adds. “Since individual hair growth varies, Skinhouse also offers packages of six and 12 sessions, depending on one’s needs.”

Aside from its two bestselling treatments, the clinic also offers RevLite, Ulthera Prime, Jawtox, facials, Panda Eye Laser, and Bodysculpt, among others. Each session is followed up with text messages from the staff, filled with reminders and tips to help maximize results and recovery.

And it’s not just about investing in the latest machines, it’s about the people who vouch for them. “We always ensure that we use authentic, top-notch machines, but more importantly, we try the treatments ourselves to guarantee safety, effectiveness, and comfort,” assures Joanne, making sure each experience provides clients with peace of mind and confidence.
