When was the last time you treated your skin to a complete reset? In March 2024, Drs. Arlo and Rai Madrid — both highly credentialed in aesthetic medicine — turned their shared dream into a reality by launching Wunderskin. This isn’t just any skincare clinic. It’s a luxurious, science-driven sanctuary designed to bring out the best in your skin, just in time for the holiday season when we could all use a little extra glow.

With diplomas from Ateneo de Manila University and St. Luke’s College of Medicine, and certification from the American Academy of Aesthetic Medicine, Drs. Arlo and Rai bring expertise and heart to every client’s skincare journey. They’ve built Wunderskin to be more than just a series of treatments — it’s a holistic experience centered on your unique “skin story.” And it’s right in the heart of BGC, waiting to help you start your own skin transformation.

Treatments You’ll Love

One of the top recommendations at Wunderskin is their PicoGlow treatment, perfect for those looking for a monthly “glow-up” without the heavy commitment. This advanced laser treatment is ideal for Filipino skin, effectively targeting melasma, sunspots, freckles, and acne scars. It’s your secret weapon against the tropical sun, helping you keep your skin smooth, bright, and blemish-free.

For a more pampering experience, their Babor Restore & Rebalance Facial is the go-to. Your session begins with an in-depth VISIA Skin Analysis, which maps everything from pore size to skin age. Picture a comprehensive snapshot of your skin’s health and needs — all in a relaxing environment that feels like a mini getaway. Afterward, you’ll walk out with dewy, rejuvenated skin that feels as good as it looks.

Looking for a firmer, more contoured look? Try the InModePRO Forma Radiofrequency treatment, a non-invasive way to boost collagen and elastin. Say goodbye to sagging and hello to a lifted, tighter complexion.

Why Wunderskin Stands Out

Dr. Rai Madrid always dreamed of opening an aesthetic clinic, and her husband, Dr. Arlo Madrid, initially planned on specializing in eye surgery. But when he saw her passion, he knew they could create something extraordinary together. And thus, Wunderskin was born — a place where clients don’t just receive treatments but also a deep understanding of their skin’s unique needs.

“This practice has always been the dream of my wife — I was gonna do a different thing, I was gonna do eye surgery. But then when we were talking about the practicality of everything — she really wanted to pursue this and I was willing naman to do this practice with her,” Dr. Arlo recalled.

Their commitment to quality extends to their team. Before launching, the Madrids put their staff through an intensive three-week boot camp to ensure everyone knew the ins and outs of the clinic’s high-tech equipment and services. From the moment you step in, you’re in the hands of professionals who know skincare inside and out.

“Before we started, we had a three-week boot camp for the staff — lectures and everything about all of the machines. Although a lot of our services are doctor-procedures only,” Dr. Arlo shared.

Medical Tourism in the Philippines

Wunderskin is also catching the eye of international clients, with Dr. Arlo seeing huge potential for medical tourism in the Philippines. Aside from value-for-money healthcare services — whether it’s preventative care, aesthetics, or dental — the country’s medical tourism portfolio offers something unique: a holistic wellness and travel experience for patients seeking care abroad. Beyond the treatments themselves, international visitors can explore the Philippines’ stunning landscapes, allowing them to heal while experiencing the warmth and beauty of the local culture.

“In the Southeast Asian region, the Philippines ranks number three, reflective of the beauty of our destinations and our capacity to offer unforgettable and healing tourism experiences in the Philippines,” says Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco. This position in the medical tourism industry highlights the country’s blend of affordable, quality care and immersive experiences that leave a lasting impact on visitors.

With fluency in English and a focus on hospitality, Filipino healthcare providers are making it easy and comfortable for foreign patients to seek treatments, such as those offered at Wunderskin. And here’s a little insider scoop — Wunderskin is already eyeing expansion, with a new branch likely to open in Makati soon. For now, you can experience their magic at Unit 2508, Park Triangle Corporate Plaza in BGC.
