The Market Monitor Minding the Nation's Business
The Philippine beauty industry has been growing at a phenomenal rate. In fact, it’s expected to grow 6.1 percent to P139.8 billion in 2016. Increased demand has been driving this growth, as Filipinos become more discerning users of cosmetic products and services.
The entry of South Korean beauty products has been a big factor in the industry’s expansion, but its world-renowned cosmetic technology has yet to reach Philippine shores—that is, until now.
Oracle Clinic, the largest networked dermatology, plastic surgery and obesity clinic in South Korea, recently opened its doors to Filipinos with its first franchise in the Philippines—the Oracle Beauty Clinic. Its goal is to enhance Filipino beauty through South Korean technology and expertise.
Its services include top-of-the-line, non-invasive procedures, such as skin lightening, tightening, resurfacing and rejuvenation; anti-aging; hair growth; laser hair removal; signature facials; and body contouring.
Plans are also underway for surgical procedures to be offered as part of Oracle Beauty Clinic’s services. In addition, the proprietary line of Dr. Oracle products will soon be made available at the clinic, allowing clients to continue their skincare regimen at home.
Founded by renowned South Korean dermatologist Dr. Ro Young Woo, Oracle Clinic has branches in Thailand, Vietnam, Taiwan, China and, most recently, Hong Kong. It won the Korea Industry Grand Prize in 2011 for its topclass technology, training and experience.
The clinic’s first Philippine branch is staffed by doctors and registered nurses who not only have extensive experience in beauty, dermatology, and plastic surgery, but were also trained in South Korea to know first-hand the secret behind the success of Oracle Beauty Clinic.
“From koreanovelas to Seoul food to K-Pop— South Korea is particularly close to my heart. I have always been amazed at their dominance in the beauty industry, driven as it is by innovation, technology and a true understanding of beauty,” said Susan Dimacali, one of the partners of the Oracle Beauty Clinic franchise in the Philippines.
“Opening the doors of Oracle Beauty Clinic to Filipinos is exciting, because now we are able to take our love for all things Korean one step further—by using their state-of-the-art technology to enhance our innate [Filipino] beauty. We welcome everyone to experience and see first-hand what truly world-class dermatological services are like,” she added.
