Any patient of Dr. Mike Chua of Imperial Derma?

I'm torn between Dr. Mike and Dr. Leah and I badly needed a derma to look at my skin. I got off contraceptive pills mga 4 months na and my skin went from fair to worse :-(

Dr. Leah Martires is THE BOMB! she's THE BEST Derma I've ever consulted! the reason/s?

1. Magaling. (Makatimed Consultant, PDS, USTmed-Magna Cum Laude)
 
-Pagpasok mo sa clinic tingin ka sa wall, nandun ang diploma at iba pang certificates na    magpapatunay n magaling siya.

2. Maganda ang Quality ng Gamot. (Glycolic Soap, Acne Plus Solution and Sunblock gel gamit ko)

-Potent yung mga gamot na binigay sa akin, Effective. Kita agad ang resulta, to think, yang tatlo lang nilalagay ko s mukha ko. Very simple ang regimen. Ive been to other dermas na kung ano ano pinapapahid sa mukha ko, iba sa umaga,iba sa gabi pero wala namang epekto.

3. Mura. (Less than a thousand lang nagagastos ko per visit.)

-On my first visit, she did Glycolic Cleaning+TCA+Meds. I only paid roughly 800-900php. Sa ibang skincare clinics i usually pay almost 2k for the cleaning alone at hindi pa DOCTOR ang gumagawa kundi facialist lang na hindi nag aral ng Medicine ng 4 years at hindi nag residency ng DERMATOLOGY. Ironic diba? but i'm not complaining.  ;D

I've been suffering from acne (and dangerously low self-esteem) for about 5 years already when i met Dr. Martires (Thanks to GT, dito ko lang siya nadiscover) and in just under a month, the condition of my skin has greatly improved! I wake up each day with a renewed self-esteem and a better appreciation of what lies ahead. Hindi ko na pinoproblema ang skin ko simply because may nag aalaga na; and that is Doc Leah. My only regret is sana nakilala siya ng mas maaga para hindi na nasayang yung mga araw na nagkukulong lang ako sa bahay, tinu-turndown ko ang mga gimik at inaavoid maggagagala dahil sa acne ko. I Highly recommend her and can vouch for her excellence. ;) i'm sure yung ibang nagbabasa nito iniisip na ginagawa ko lang ito for promotion; I understand, ganyan din ako dati e, nagbabasa lang din ako at nagpapaka nega. Eto nalang isipin nyo, 2008 lang nag start ng clinic s Transcom si Doc Leah (accdg to Michelle her secretary), 2012 palang ngayon yet sobrang dami niya nang patients. Wala naman siyang ads, fliers, walang pwesto sa mall pero dinadagsa siya. WORD-OF-MOUTH lang kumbaga. The reason why I'm posting this is to SHARE sa iba yung magandang epekto sakin nung pagconsult kay Dr. Martires.

Ikaw na acne suferrer na nagbabasa nitong post ko ngayon; try mo magpaconsult sa kanya. Fat chance; hinding hindi ka magsisisi.

Kudos Doc Leah Martires!

Patient din ako ni Doc Leah for almost a year now. Nagkakapimples pa din ako pero I don't blame her kasi kasalanan ko din naman..minsan i forgot to put the topical medicines na binibili ko sa kanya. Pero compared dati, ang laki talaga ng improvement ng skin ko.Ang dami na ding nakapansin. When I told my friends na I go to a derma akala nila sobrang mahal. Mas mahal pa nga yung nagastos ko when I was going to facial centres like let's face it & skin 101.

Thanks to GT for recommending Doc Leah. ;D

Hi ulit mga sis! Thanks dun sa nagrecommend ng mga doktor para sa akin the last time. Tanong ko lang kung may iba pa kayo na marerecommend na derma sa akin na not so much aesthetic-focused but medically-focused. Ang problema ko kasi is atopic dermatitis and keratosis pilaris, hindi naman mga pimples or aesthetic procedures ang hanap ko.

May mga nasuggest pero kakaunti lang: Si Dr. Filomena Montinola, Dr. Sylvia Jacinto, and Dr. Jasmin Jamora. If naging pasyente na kayo or may kakilala kayo na naging pasyente na, pa-share naman po ng experience.

Tapos, if kaya po, maybe you can help me find a derma na maalaga. My problem with my derma now is that nahihirapan ako i-trust siya kasi ambilis-bilis niya ako tignan mga 10 minutes lang nakalabas na ako ng clinic. Eh ayoko ng ganun kasi gusto ko daanan bawat isang step at nahihirapan ako sa derma ko ngayon makabuild ng trust. Kung may kilala kayo na derma na mabait, very caring, mas importante sa akin iyon kesa sa reputation.

Any help would be appreciated, mga sis. I really want my skin to get better na :(

sis bakit ganon, first time kong magpaderma, oral antibiotic agad pinescribe sakin??-doxycycline. e mga 4 -5 zits lang naman meron ako tapos pagaling na yung iba + mga acne marks. di naman ganon kagrabe, pero not in good shape din hehe. diba pinapa oral lang pag grabe na ang case?? tapos mga topicals nalang [textspeak!] iba, clinda, lightening cream etc. salamat po sa mga sasagot

sis baka kasi alam na ng derma mo na internal condition yan. yung akin noon, akala ko simpleng pimples pala, staph infection pala kaya nagkakapimples ako. mild lang naman kaya nga napagkamalan na pimples lang.

hello hazelnutduchess, so far naappreciate ko na yung products n binigay ng derma ko, hindi overdrying yung saa soap and nkakatighten ng pores yung clindamycin nila..
tip ko lang, wag lahat ng sinabi ng derma susundin mo, piliin mo din kung ano lang sa tingin m kailangan m,ingat lang sa mga derma na always after the money, marami kasing doctor na gnun esp pag my sarili silang products..
so far yung derma ko hindi aesthetically focused, she never recommended me to get peeling, facials, etc.. just yung soap and solution lang and of course ngadvise to have a change in diet pag my napansin akong food na ngcacause ng acne, more fruits and veggies and she even wrote in my prescription to get 2L of water everyday ahaha..
siguro focused sa aesthetics yung derma pag sa facial centers ka ngpatingin ko, dapat sa mga clinic ka talaga magpunta..

OO naman sis sa clinic ako nagpapatingin, hindi sa mga mall/facial/skincare clinic lang. Sino ba ang derma mo, baka pwede mo marecommend? since kailangan ko ng ganyan, eh, yung hindi masyado nagooffer ng mga peel peel at talagang mas health/medically focused kesa aesthetic.

Ang mahal pa ng mga pineprescribe ng Dra ko. Hindi naman siya exclusive sa kanya pero mahal pa rin kahit sa labas, like Cetaphil restoraderm lotion na umaabot sa 1.7k per bottle sa Mercury at yung Avene Akerat lotion na abot 1.8k ang bili ko sa kanya. Gusto ko as much as possible talaga yung straightforward na treatment din at hindi puro 'kaartehan'

^^ Sis, yung derma ko dati sa Greenhills, si Dra.Ramiscal, the best, siya ang nag clear up ng cystic acne ko, as in yung parang pimple na tinubuan ng face, ganun yung akin dati. I think nasa SLMC na siya ngayon

Patient ako ni Dr. Six. Pero hindi sya ang humahawak sakin, si Doc Ana, so I'd say patient ako ng 6F. hehe. She's good at susulitin nya lahat ng bumps ng face mo. Naka 2 session na ako - TCA. Parehong si doc Ana humawak. Lagi ako inaabot ng more or less 3hours. Sobrang thorough pa nya. Sulit diba. heheh. So far sa lahat ng dermang napuntahan ko, dun ako nagkaroon ng improvement. 20's na ako..early teens palang kung saan saan na ako pumupuntang derma, mahal man o mura.

Expect nyo lang na masakit ang prick..if pimple yan, expect din na magkakamark yan. Mga 6weeks daw. Pero kung white heads lang, pwede daw hindi na mag-iwan ng mark.

Yung sister ko naman si Dr. Six ang humahawak. Namukaan ni sis si Dr. Ana, she used to work in MakatiMed kasi. Sa narining kong kwentuhan nila, naging resident ata ng MakatiMed si Dr. Ana. Yun lang alam kong background niya. Si Dr. Six ang alam ko lang she's from UST and sya rin ata derma ni Julia Montes. Nakasama kasi ni ate once sa clinic ni Dr.Six.

Though hindi ko kilala si Dr. Leah, I'd say I am satisfied with Dr. Six/ 6F. :)

Had my UA peeling with Doc Leah, satisfied ako sa unang peeling pa lang kitang-kita pumuti UA ko :) Hindi ko na continous UA peeling sa kanya since I'm expecting my 2nd baby. Pag ka panganak ko mag papa peel ulit ako ng UA sa kanya. Satisfied client din ako ni Doc Leah May of this year ko lang siya nakilala and malaki improvement ng face ko.
