SkinStation recently celebrated the opening of its 100th branch aptly called SkinStation Elite, a luxe state-of-the-art clinic located in BGC, High Street South.
Offering the brand’s signature skin care, body whitening, and anti-aging procedures, the new outlet is exclusive to its Elite members.
Now in its 19th year, SkinStation was born out of a similar business venture. Founder Fred Reyes, a noted chemist in the country was running a growing enterprise as a distributor of specialty ingredients for personal products. The encouraging response, inspired him to open another business, a skincare center with its own line of clinical-grade skin and whitening products.
The very first SkinStation opened in 2004 in SM Fairview offering skin treatments and whitening procedures. The services were priced reasonably compared to other clinics owned by dermatologists. The brand naturally grew, with outlets opening in various malls around the country.
“We were one of the first to offer premium whitening treatments, advanced products, and services at an affordable price, compared to other centers,” Reyes shared during the media conference.
The launch of their 100th outlet was marked by a gala celebration with special friends along with training seminars conducted by top global doctors. During the event, Reyes happily shared the company’s passion for innovation as an effective strategy for growth. “We embraced innovation and new technology, we also advocated fairness in compensation.”
The entire business is a family affair with each member of the family playing a special role in its growth. Reyes is the founder and Chairman of the Board, his wife Carleen is the president and his son Gerard Cedric is the Chief Executive Officer.
Early this year, SkinStation formally sealed its partnership with the Zishel Group of South Korea, a global distributor of novel medical technology and therapeutics for various applications.
Zishel’s global practitioners headed by UK Based doctor Dr. Vincent Wong, were in Manila to train the Skinstation staff on the latest developments in beauty and anti-aging.
The partnership with Zichel will bring in products like derma fillers, fat-dissolving injections, skin-boosting treatments, and Tesslift, Zishel’s most advanced thread lift procedure.
Known for “lifting” sagging skin thread lift also stimulates collagen production for a more youthful appearance. The conventional procedure uses monofilament with results lasting for less than a year.
Tesslift was developed in Korea and uses a patented thread design that combines “cogs” with 3D mesh scaffold. This innovative thread structure induces collagen tissue to grow and adhere to the thread. The mesh scaffold reinforces the new tissue for better adherence. The youthful result can last for as long as three years. Within one year, the thread will be absorbed, leaving only the new tissue. This ensures safety and long-lasting results.
The global ambassador of Tesslift is Marco Seung Hwan Lee, Mister International Korea (2017) and Mister International World Competition Winner (2018). Lee was in Manila for the launch and was amazed at the local K-pop fever “A lot of Korean things here,” he said.
