Skincare innovation, medical education and global investment opportunities took centre stage at an exclusive round-table discussion organised by the Pan Pacific Aesthetic Institute Foundation, Inc. (PPAIFI), LAMELEX, Golden Visa Central (GVC) and Manila House at the Intramuros Tent of Manila House Private Club in Bonifacio Global City on 30 Oct 2026.
The gathering brought together dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and aesthetic practitioners for an evening of scientific learning, professional engagement and networking, highlighting the importance of collaboration in advancing aesthetic medicine and professional growth.
A key highlight of the event was the presentation of Dr. Finesse Angelica F. Evangelista, who discussed “The Science of Recovery: Optimizing Barrier Repair in Post-Procedure and Compromised Skin.” Her presentation underscored the role of skin barrier integrity in supporting skin recovery, particularly following dermatological and aesthetic procedures. The discussion also highlighted the need for science-based skincare approaches in managing compromised skin and supporting the skin’s natural protective functions.
At the centre of LAMELEX’s skincare approach is Multi-Lamellar Vesicle (MLV) Technology, a delivery system designed to support the skin barrier’s natural structure and the delivery of skincare ingredients. The brand showcased its professional skincare products, educational materials, testers and protocols focused on barrier care. Catherine Andres-Gamo, chief executive officer of Pretty Skin Lamelin Philippines, also presented LAMELEX’s skin barrier advocacy, emphasising the importance of scientific education, skincare innovation and collaboration with medical professionals. She encouraged participants to become Skin Barrier Advocates, promoting greater awareness of barrier-focused skincare in clinical practice.
Beyond skincare, the event also explored opportunities for professional and financial development. Vicky Luis, founder and president of Golden Visa Central, shared insights into international investment opportunities and wealth diversification. Her presentation introduced participating medical professionals to financial planning considerations beyond their clinical careers, including the potential role of international investment in long-term wealth management.
PPAIFI served as a platform for professional exchange within the aesthetic medical community, while Manila House provided a setting for discussions and relationship-building among professionals from different fields. The collaboration demonstrated how medical institutions, skincare innovators and investment specialists can bring complementary expertise together to encourage knowledge-sharing and broader professional opportunities.
