About us
We opened in Cubao because our clients already live here
The Glow Clinic started in 2018 with two treatment rooms, one laser and a rule we still follow. No treatment is sold before the skin is read.
Our story
Eight years of the same slow approach
Dr. Marisse Alonzo trained in dermatology in Manila and spent six years in larger chains where clients were booked in twenty minute slots. She opened The Glow Clinic to work the other way. Longer consults, fewer bookings a day, and a plan that runs over months instead of one dramatic session.
The clinic now has four treatment rooms and a team of six. Most of our clients come from Cubao, Kamuning and New Manila, and about half of them arrive because a friend sent them. We have kept the same laser supplier and the same injectable brands since we opened, so results stay predictable.
What we hold to
Four things we do not bend on
Honest advice
If a treatment will not give you the result you described, we tell you and suggest what will. Sometimes that means sending you to a dermatologist instead.
Small steps
We under treat on purpose at the first session, then review at two weeks. It is easier to add than to wait out a result you did not want.
Clean rooms
Single use needles, sealed instrument packs, and rooms wiped down between clients. Our sterilisation log is on the wall and you can ask to read it.
Clear pricing
One page, printed, with every session and its price before you pay anything. No treatment is added on the bed.

Our approach
Personalised means we write it down
A plan from us names the treatment, the number of sessions, the gap between them, what your skin will do in the first week, and what it costs. You leave with a copy. If your skin reacts differently than we expected, we change the plan and tell you why.
