Skin 101 and Ultherapy® joined forces to mark two decades of empowering individuals to embrace their natural beauty and radiate confidence
Having been at the helm of a leading aesthetics centre in the country for 20 years now, Dr Jennie Francisco-Diaz recognises that beauty, by definition, is never solely skin-deep.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it is not just about being superficially fabulous. It’s the glow you get from within; it’s being happy and content with life,” remarks the co-founder and medical director of Skin 101 in a conversation with Tatler during the company’s recent anniversary party. With the radiant guests as a testament to this belief, the glamourous evening at Uma Nota Manila, Shangri-La The Fort was a fitting celebration of Skin 101’s unwavering commitment to exceptional skincare and personal empowerment—the mission that has underscored their journey for the last two decades.

Founded in 2004 by Dr Francisco-Diaz, a dermatologist, and her husband Dr Oliver Diaz, a cosmetic surgeon, Skin 101 began with the couple’s goal of making quality skincare more accessible and attainable. The success they have since achieved with branches across the metro is one they proudly share with loyal clients, valued partners, and their dedicated staff; many of whom were invited to the recent celebration.

Co-hosting the milestone event was a key partner that has helped in the growth of the company: Ultherapy®, the only US FDA-cleared skin tightening procedure using micro-focused ultrasound with real-time visualisation (MFU-V). With its trusted delivery of natural-looking results, the non-invasive treatment has become a go-to choice for those wanting to lift and rejuvenate their skin without any downtime.
Dr Francisco-Diaz adds, “You don't have to go through a surgical procedure. You come in and, an hour later, you leave the clinic looking and feeling amazing. That is always our goal.” Anchored on their shared efforts and philosophy to enhance one’s natural beauty, the steadfast collaboration between Ultherapy® and Skin 101 continues to inspire self-acceptance and confidence among countless individuals.

In line with this, three renowned personalities were honoured as “Luminary Women of Timeless Beauty” at the anniversary party for serving as powerful inspirations of the radiance and grace that Skin 101 has ushered many towards. Apples Aberin, Myrza Sison, and Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez have each transitioned from being prominent models and fashion authorities in the Nineties—faces of Skin 101’s formative first campaigns, in fact—to thriving in their respective fields and careers. Having witnessed the brand’s rise and growth from the beginning, they aptly return to star in a campaign that underlines Skin 101’s role in celebrating beauty that transcends time and age.

Regarded as “timeless beauties” both by the campaign and the resounding cheers at Uma Nota Manila, the three ladies shared their perspectives on what they believe it means to be one. Sison describes her as someone who embraces authenticity and kindness; meanwhile, de Leon says it is someone who enjoys life vivaciously, with the same fervour and joy as she did in her youth. Aberin closes the segment, relaying that it is someone who is anchored on her passions and purpose in life, as is true of all three women.
Together with Ultherapy®, Skin 101 sends this message out far and wide. Their shared vision and continued partnership will no doubt empower current and future generations alike to hone their natural radiance and share it with the world.
