Tailored Skin

In Davao City, Dr. Joseph Andrei Bongalo of Basix Aesthetics tailors each skin treatment with care.

Knowledge and technology develops at a rapid pace in the field of medicine; even more so when it comes to medical aesthetics, where developments are steered by beauty standards that change with the seasons.

For Dr. Joseph Andrei Bongalo of Basix Aesthetics, however, the careful eye of a reliable aesthetic medicine physician is evergreen. Through his practice, he emphasizes the importance of staying leveled while navigating the influx of developments and evolving trends from pioneer countries such as Korea, the United States, and other European nations. “For us doctors in the aesthetic field, we need to keep on adapting to what’s new,” he says. “However, not everything is applicable to the Filipino type of skin. So that’s why we need to discern whether these new technologies are applicable to the Philippine setting.”

Patient-care and responsibility is at the foundation of his services. Inspired by his time training under a renowned plastic surgeon in Miami, Florida, he ensures that his treatments feel personal and precisely tailored to each person’s skin.
