Caring for one’s skin has gained popularity across genders, yet finding the right routine or treatment can be challenging due to the uniqueness of each person’s skin. Many people resort to trying trending products and practices, often causing more harm than good.
Dr. April Geraldez-Rivera, founder of dermatological clinic Remedy Skin Solutions, understands this struggle intimately. Having dealt with acne herself, she knows how deeply skin conditions can affect a person emotionally, psychologically, and mentally.
“Growing up with acne, I knew firsthand how a skin condition touches every aspect of your life,” she said.
Her frustrations with ineffective treatments and lack of support inspired her to become a dermatologist focused on helping others manage their skin issues. With over 16 years of experience and 30,000 treated patients, she launched Remedy Skin Solutions to provide effective treatments and guidance for achieving healthier skin.
Initially, Remedy focused on treating acne and scars but has since expanded its services to include body, hyperpigmentation, and anti-aging treatments. The clinic distinguishes itself by offering personalized treatment plans that educate patients on the steps needed to address their skin concerns, fostering long-term results.
“Our approach is holistic, combining expertise, personalization, and education,” Geraldez-Rivera said. “We involve patients in their solutions, guiding them every step of the way.”
During consultations, dermatologists take time to discuss patients’ skin concerns, health, and lifestyle, identifying factors contributing to their problems. This in-depth approach helps develop tailored treatment plans, ensuring lasting results.
Geraldez-Rivera emphasized the importance of this approach, noting the unique characteristics of Filipino skin compared to others. “We need tailored solutions that cater specifically to our skin type, rather than adopting protocols designed for Caucasian skin,” she said.
Remedy offers a range of treatments, including acne and acne scar solutions such as Hollywood Laser Facial, Acne Cleanse, Precision Peels, and Radiofrequency Microneedling (RFM) Synergy. The clinic also provides body treatments like the BodyBrite Laser and Body Cleanses, hyperpigmentation treatments such as Pigment Laser and Melasma treatments, and anti-aging options including Glass Skin Facial and Wrinkle Relaxers.
Remedy’s clinics are located at One Uptown Residence in Taguig and Ayala Malls Vertis North in Quezon City. Appointments can be made by calling 09178736339 or visiting www.remedy.ph.
