Here is one essential beauty tip: It’s a green flag if an aesthetic center makes time to learn about your skin before they suggest any product or give you any treatment. This is what sets the best from the average.
Getting acquainted with your skin is step number one in KNatural Beauty and Skin Studio. Guests are welcomed with a free skin consultation before attendants recommend any beauty product or treatment. They assess wrinkles, oiliness, pigmentation and sun damage. The results are given in graphs and percentages, which can be overwhelming to interpret. However, the consult results in a figure that you will understand. It reveals your skin age.
From there, products or treatments are recommended to address your skin issues. This is how KNatural Beauty and Skin Studio personalizes a regimen. It is the goal of the studio to give not just what the client wants, but also what they need.
They follow the K-beauty steps but match the products to the Philippine weather. The studio personalizes their offerings to their Filipino clientele.
Chief operating officer Albert Lee and business partner Dr. Jaime Cruz teamed up to create a K-beauty haven here so you won’t need a visa to get that much-cherished and sought-after Korean beauty treatment.
Two-in-one destination
The studio is located at the PNB Building on Doña Julia Vargas Avenue in Pasig City. It is a two-in-one destination where the first floor is dedicated to beauty and cosmetics retail, while the second floor is the aesthetic clinic.
The KNatural team meticulously curated 10 brands from makeup to skin care. They are the official distributor of P.Calm, Genoderm, Dr. twenty project, Chosungah, MGDD, LBB, JMsolution, Beauadd, AboutTone and 12Grabs.
The display and the interiors are kept streamlined and neutral such that it feels like walking into a store in Gangnam. Korean products are mindfully incorporated in everything. All the machines used in the studio are made in Korea.
It took at least six months of preparation for the staff to be ready. Korean experts flew in to personally train the Filipino staff on how to operate the machines correctly and familiarize themselves with the products. Dr. Cruz was also hands-on in making sure that the staff was ready before the studio opened.
Korean way
The result is a relaxing K-beauty experience. The facial massage that goes with the chosen treatment follows the Korean way of massaging the face. Rather than just moving the hands on the skin to make the client feel good, the massage focuses on areas such as the lymph nodes and the jawline to alleviate the puffiness of the cheeks and reduce the double chin.
face.
Ice-cold rollers are used at the end and to make the skin absorb the products more effectively. These also help in tightening the skin. But most importantly, the rollers feel good and refreshing.
When the treatment is over, your aesthetician gives recommendations on how to prolong its effect. Two days later, your aesthetician might check up on you and ask about your experience.
All of the treatments in KNatural are noninvasive. But the center also serves as a bridge to three reputable clinics in South Korea should the client want a more specialized treatment.
There are doctors available by appointment. They are Dr. Park Chulsoo of Wrinkle Plastic Surgery Clinic; Dr. Kim Kun-woo, also known as Dr. Chris, of Le Diamant Clinic; and Dr. Song Eun-ji, also known as Dr. Gloria, of VandS Clinic.
These doctors are experts in the fields of plastic surgery, stem cell therapy, dermatology and beauty. Initial consultations can be done in Ortigas before the client flies out to South Korea for the procedure. On their return to Manila, they’re assured that they will be looked after by an expert here for posttreatment care.
It’s an ingenious way of saving time and money because it takes the need to stay in a hotel or rented apartment in Korea for the aftercare. KNatural offers the convenience of not having to fly out while still getting the quality and results that you expect from a clinic in Seoul.
