WITHOUT much hesitation, four lady doctors decided to join the facial and skin care spa scene with their innovative and unpretentious style.

Barcenilla, Lim, Togon and Fuentes are one team you could draw inspiration from. Their friendship is traced back in med school at the Davao Medical School Foundation. After graduation in 1998, they went into different medical fields and found themselves getting together and navigating through the facial/skin care spa world withstanding competition.

“Two months lang ang preparation. We underwent a two-week training on non surgical skin care in Manila,” they said.

“Before, it is only the women who would go to a spa. Ngaun may mga lalaki na din. The concept has changed and we get a considerable number of male clients already,” Dr. Togon said. “But it doesn’t mean though that they are gays.”
