Your Beauty Destination Just Got Closer: Elyse Aesthetics Lands in Quezon City

A glowing complexion, refined features, and quiet self-confidence have become the hallmarks of the modern professional not vanity, but a deliberate investment in one's best self. Executives, entrepreneurs, and purpose-driven individuals across the Philippines increasingly turn to aesthetic medicine as part of their personal development. But in a world saturated with trends and before-and-afters, the risk of losing oneself in the process is real.

Elyse Aesthetics was built as the answer to that risk.

"True beauty is letting your inner beauty come out," says Dr. Marj Salazar, CEO and co-founder of Elyse Aesthetics. "It's letting your best features emerge and aligning with who you really are. Beauty is not artifice. It is not turning yourself into something you are not just to gain the approval of others. It is coming home to yourself - your best self."

Dr. Marj, as her patients, colleagues, and team call her, recently launched the second branch of Elyse Aesthetics in Timog, Quezon City. Together with her lifelong friend, business partner, and co-founder Dr. Anne Caoile, she established the first branch in San Juan three years ago. In the fast-paced, booming aesthetics industry, Elyse has built a reputation as a go-to clinic for personalized, holistic care one that culminates not just in transformed skin, but in the emergence of each patient's self-confidence, rooted in genuine self-knowledge and acceptance.

This message of authenticity has resonated deeply with patients who are increasingly weary of campaigns that pressure them to compete with the latest social media standard.

"We listen a lot," Dr. Marj explains. "We ask what patients truly want and look into their actual needs before we ever prescribe a treatment. We don't just ask about aesthetics we assess their lifestyle, we understand their story. Then we educate them about their own physical attributes, how to honor those features, and how to harmonize them with the right treatment. Every plan is built for that person, and no one else."

The Timog clinic offers a full suite of skin and non-surgical treatments, including baby botox, face contouring, face lifting, and comprehensive face and body solutions. Among its flagship offerings is Elyse Skin Regen a multimodal skin regeneration program that combines biostimulation, deep hydration with Revok50, laser resurfacing using Laser Pore (LaserMe by Neauvia), a signature Glow Protocol, and the Dermalux Flex MD for medical-grade LED phototherapy. The result is skin that is visibly renewed: brighter, firmer, and deeply restored.

The philosophy behind Skin Regen reflects the broader Elyse mindset. "Regen is about regeneration and renewal your body, your mind, your personality, your approach to life." says Dr. Marj. "Yes, it has anti-aging properties. But focusing only on 'anti-aging can make a patient dwell on what's being lost. Thinking about regeneration and renewal shifts that it opens the door to seeing more possibilities, a new chapter, a fuller version of yourself."

To ensure every patient at both branches receives the same standard of care, Elyse Aesthetics has expanded its team with additional aesthetic doctors and plastic surgeons each trained and carefully selected to carry the elinie's values into every consultation and procedure, each rigorously we trained them, we know them, and we stand behind every pair of hands at Elise." way you trust us," says Dr. Marj. "Because we built this team "You can trust our team the same way.

GIVING BACK: BEAUTY AS A SECOND CHANCE

For Dr. Marj and Dr. Anne, the work has always been personal.

"I know what it's like to look in the mirror and doubt my own worth," Dr. Marj shares. "I grew up facing real hardship, and I dealt with acne that quietly chipped away at my self-esteem. It's part of why I became a doctor, why I chose aesthetics, and why everything we do at Elyse is rooted in restoring not just skin-but self-worth."

That belief-held deeply by both founders became the foundation of Elyse Gives Back, an initiative born from the conviction that transformative care should not be limited by circumstance. From more than 1,000 entries, five deserving individuals were chosen to receive something rarely offered: a complete, end-to-end beauty journey fully complimentary, fully personalized, and fully theirs.

"Marj and I built Elyse on the belief that beauty should feel like freedom not a burden, not a standard to chase, but a coming home to yourself," says Dr. Anne Caoile, co-founder and lead cosmetic surgeon. "Elyse Gives Back is that belief mode real in five people, five stories, five new beginnings."

Each recipient underwent a holistic program thoughtfully designed by Dr. Marj and Dr. Anne: skin treatments, injectables including fillers and biostimulators, and a customized rhinoplasty-all working together toward one goal: profile balancing that reveals the full, authentic beauty of that person. Not a trend. Not a template. A transformation built around who they are.

The journeys of Alyssa Sunga, Mica Voluntad, Aziz Barakat, John Sevi, and Mar Verches-from their very first consultation to their final reveal - are documented and available to watch on the Dr. Marj & Dr. Anne YouTube channel. Each story is a reminder of what becomes possible when medicine is practiced with both skill and heart.

LOOKING AHEAD

For Dr. Marj and Dr. Anne, the opening of the Timog branch is not a milestone to rest on-it is new beginning. "We are always evolving, always leveling up in our skills and solutions to mes the needs of patients who want to be beautiful and authentic at the same time," says Dr. Ma "Above all, fulfilling your potential and realizing your true beauty makes you free - free to who you really are, and to set yourself on the road to who you can become."
