TMC Iloilo opens physician-led aesthetics center

ILOILO CITY — Aesthetic care is moving closer to home for Ilonggos as The Medical City Iloilo expands into the field with a new facility that places dermatologists at the center of treatment decisions.

TMC Iloilo officially opened Aesthetics by The Medical City on Oct. 2 on the third floor of North Grove in Molo, Iloilo City.

The facility offers physician-led aesthetic services backed by medical expertise, advanced technology and hospital-based safety standards.

The new unit is staffed by eight board-certified dermatologists who assess patients, discuss their concerns and goals, and determine treatment options based on individual needs and overall skin health.

Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, the clinic emphasizes consultation before treatment.

This allows physicians to identify appropriate procedures and provide guidance based on each patient’s specific concerns.

Services include skin health assessment and rejuvenation, as well as a range of nonsurgical aesthetic procedures.

TMC Iloilo said procedures performed at the facility comply with applicable Food and Drug Administration requirements.

TMC Iloilo Chief Medical Officer Dr. Felix Ray Villa said the new facility gives Ilonggos access to aesthetic treatments supported by the same emphasis on medical expertise and safety expected from a hospital.

The facility also brings aesthetic services closer to patients who previously may have considered traveling to Metro Manila for certain treatments.

Beyond the procedures themselves, the clinic was designed to provide patients with a more private and comfortable setting.

Its location near TMC Iloilo also keeps patients within reach of the hospital’s broader health care services when additional medical attention is needed.

“For us, it’s also a beauty with purpose. While we help patients feel confident about themselves, part of the proceeds will also go to support our indigenous community in Barangay Lanit. In that way, the beauty we create here can also benefit others,” said Dr. Villa.

For the Iloilo City government, the opening adds another dimension to the city’s growing health and wellness sector.

Executive Assistant Dr. Candice Magdalane Tupas welcomed the establishment of the facility.

“This is a very good venture because it is a stand-alone and focuses on aesthetics,” Tupas said.

She also pointed to the facility’s potential to complement the city’s efforts to accommodate tourists and visitors seeking health and wellness services.

Tupas said the development shows that Iloilo is ready to cater to a wider range of health and wellness needs.

Patients may visit Aesthetics by The Medical City by appointment or as walk-ins.

The public may also check the clinic’s official Facebook page for updates, available services and other information before visiting.
