Twelve years since its entry into the local aesthetics and wellness landscape, Luminisce steps into a new era with the opening of Luminisce Prima, its fourth and most elevated clinic to date.

“Opening Luminisce Prima was a natural next step for us,” Dr. Kristina “Kaycee” Reyes, founder and medical director of Luminisce, tells Manila Bulletin Lifestyle “After over a decade of serving patients through our clinics in Bonifacio Global City, The Podium, and Alabang, I felt it was time to create a flagship destination that embodies the pinnacle of what Luminisce stands for. There are clinics, and then there are sanctuaries—I envisioned Prima as the latter.”

Located at the second level of Parkwest Grand Central, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, it is considered the brand’s flagship haven. And rightly so, as Dr. Reyes made sure that the clinic offers a warm and inviting ambience with its cream and champagne interiors. “We designed it to feel more like a private retreat than a clinic, so every texture, scent, and sound is curated to soothe the senses. We even have a concierge-level team to welcome and anticipate our patients’ needs, making the experience seamless and truly indulgent.”

Luminisce Prima redefines the patient experience through its retreat-like environment and expanded scope of care. “You can have a bespoke facial sculpting treatment and a hormone-balancing consultation in one visit,” she says. “We integrate preventive medicine and wellness deeply here—nutrition, stress management, lifestyle—all are part of the plan.”

Another highlight is its detailed personalization. “Every patient begins with an in-depth consultation that goes beyond skin-deep concerns,” she adds. “We want each treatment to become an exquisite experience of balance, transformation, and quiet luxury.”

Prima also attracts patients who want deeper answers. “If you’re curious about how your hormones, stress, or diet affect your skin, then Prima is ideal for you. We look at the whole picture.”

Dr. Kaycee describes their patients as those who sees beauty and wellness as a long-term investment. “Our clients value privacy, comfort, and a high level of service—busy professionals, mothers, athletes, or individuals who want a more intimate self-care experience,” she shares. “Many come in with multiple goals—skin aging, stress, fitness, confidence. Prima was created for those who understand that true beauty is a balance of inner and outer health.”

Dr. Reyes handpicked these latest beauty and wellness treatments. Starting with UltraClear™ Cold Ablative Laser that’s currently available in only a handful of clinics nationwide. “It’s a ‘cold fiber’ laser that delivers powerful resurfacing and lifting with minimal thermal damage. Patients get impressive results with less downtime,” she explains. The laser effectively treats acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture, and early skin laxity. “

For those looking to address thinning skin and early signs of laxity, Density Pro plays a key role in Prima’s anti-aging arsenal. “This is one of our proprietary advanced treatments geared toward restoring skin density and firmness,” the doctor continues. “It stimulates collagen and strengthens the dermal layers, effectively ‘densifying’ the skin from within. The result is firmer, plumper, more resilient skin—almost like turning back the clock.”

Another standout treatment at Prima is Exosome Therapy, a regenerative procedure that enhances healing and skin renewal from within. “Exosomes are nanosized messengers rich in growth factors,” says Dr. Kaycee. “They tell your cells to repair, regenerate, and boost collagen. It’s very natural—we’re triggering your skin to heal itself more effectively.” Patients often notice faster recovery, better hydration, and a distinct “glow from within.”

For gradual, long-term rejuvenation, collagen biostimulator Sculptra is among the clinic’s most trusted injectables. “I like to describe Sculptra as ‘planting seeds’ of collagen,” Dr. Kaycee shares. “Results appear slowly but last longer and look very natural.” Used for areas such as sunken cheeks, temple hollowing, and overall skin laxity, Sculptra fits seamlessly into holistic anti-aging programs. “The face regains its youthful support over time—and it never looks ‘done’.”

Perhaps the most unexpected yet powerful treatment at Prima is Exomind, a non-invasive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) technology focused on mental wellness. “I often call it a ‘gym for your mind,’” says Dr. Kaycee. “It improves mood, reduces stress, enhances focus, and supports emotional balance.” Patients frequently pair this with aesthetic treatments. “They leave not only looking refreshed, but genuinely lighter and happier. Beauty isn’t just skin-deep—your mindset is part of the equation.”

Together, these treatments represent the clinic’s evolving definition of beauty—one that merges aesthetics, wellness, and regenerative medicine. “I was inspired by the idea of creating a space that could fully integrate everything I’m passionate about: cutting-edge aesthetic technology, regenerative medicine, and wellness modalities that address the mind and body, not just the skin.”

This philosophy recently earned regional recognition at the BTL Aesthetics Regional Summit & Awards Gala 2025 in Phú Quốc, Vietnam, where Luminisce received both the Prestige Excellence APAC Award and the Holistic Excellence in Aesthetic Medicine Award. This makes it the only Philippine clinic honored for holistic excellence across the Asia-Pacific region.

“The second award is especially meaningful to me because it acknowledged the integrative approach we champion—blending dermatology with wellness and preventive medicine,” she shares.

What made the recognition even more compelling was that it was not self-nominated. “We didn’t apply for it, so it wasn’t a self-nomination scenario; it was more that we were observed and selected,” revealed Dr. Reyes. “I believe our innovative treatments and holistic outcomes spoke for themselves.”

“Regenerative medicine – things like stem cell therapy, exosomes, peptide therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), biostimulators—these are game-changers,” she said. “Instead of just filling a wrinkle with something, we can encourage the skin to produce collagen and literally heal the wrinkle from within.”

From rebuilding collagen and restoring skin density to calming the mind and regulating internal balance, Luminisce Prima offers a holistic approach anchored in in-depth patient understanding, science, and state-of-the-art treatments. “Every treatment at Luminisce is guided by both science and artistry, designed to enhance—not change—one’s unique beauty.”
