Scar Treatment: Luminisce Launches Scar Vanish Program
Scars — whether from surgery, injury, or acne — are a common concern for many people. They can affect not just your skin but also your confidence.
But here’s the good news: modern treatments can help reduce and even erase these unwanted marks. With the latest advancements in skincare, achieving a smoother, clearer complexion is more possible than ever.
This June, I visited Luminisce skin clinic in Molito Lifestyle Center, Alabang, for the launch of their Lumi-Scar-Vanish program, which is designed to help you achieve a better, younger-looking skin.
Lumi-Scar-Vanish Program
Luminisce’s Scar Vanish program is composed of different treatments to address scars at every level of the skin.
This includes the following:
- Laser Technology: Pico Suite, Baby Skin, Dermablate, and Clear + Brilliant lasers precisely target scar tissue, promoting collagen production and smoother texture.
- Energy-Based Devices: Smooth Glo, Ulthera X, and Exion devices utilize advanced technology to further break down scar tissue and stimulate collagen regeneration.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: Belotero Balance and Revive fillers add volume and improve overall skin quality and elasticity, particularly beneficial for deeper scars. We also personalize filler selection based on your specific needs.
- Polynucleotide Boosters: Rejuran (Salmon DNA) and Plainest (Italian Trout DNA) bio-stimulate the skin to enhance healing and promote scar reduction.
- Hybrid Solutions: Juvelook, Jalupro, and Radiesse + HA combine the benefits of HA fillers with additional ingredients for enhanced results.
- Doc Kaycee’s Signature Scar Reversal Technique: This unique and continuously refined approach, honed over 12 years, leverages Dr. Kaycee’s expertise to optimize treatment for your specific scar type and concern.
Here are the benefits of the Scar Vanish Program:
- Fades the appearance of scars, minimizing their visibility.
- Promotes smoother, more even-toned skin texture.
- Enhances overall skin quality and youthful glow.
- Boosts collagen production for long-lasting results.
- Increases confidence by minimizing the impact of scars.
- Restore Your Confidence and Reveal Truly Luminous Skin.
My Experience with Luminisce
As part of their launch, media and content creators were given treatments depending on their skin condition and preferences.
I’m actually a perfect candidate for this because I have acne scars and red spots, due to years of suffering from cystic acne caused by hormonal imbalance.
First: Consultation with one of the doctors at Luminisce. I told them that I want a treatment specifically for my acne scars and also that I’ve already done several treatments in the past, including a subcision. Since I’ve already undergone subcision, the doctor advised me to get a Belotero Advance HA fillers to lift up the depressed areas.
Second: Facial analysis. Luminisce uses an advanced facial analysis that analyzes your skin condition, including skin age and problem areas. (I just found that my skin age is 37, so I definitely need to amp up my skincare routine!)
Third: Treatment. We started with facial cleansing and then application of topical anesthesia. Then another doctor came in to inject the HA fillers on my scars, which by the way are a lot. I’m not gonna lie, even with the anesthesia it still hurt a bit — I guess it depends on your pain tolerance as well.
The dermatologists said that the full effect of the HA fillers can be seen 2-3 weeks after treatment. I’m so excited to find out how it looks then!
Over the past years, I’d been to various skin clinics in Manila. What I like about Luminisce is the chic and welcoming atmosphere in the clinic, their up-to-date skincare treatments and offers, and of course the professional dermatologists and aestheticians.

Update 1: After the HA filler treatment, my face was still red for 2-3 days, after which it returned to normal. After 2 weeks, I can definitely see an improvement in the scars. They look way more shallow compared to before the treatment. HA fillers are temporary, but they do stimulate collagen production that will also help long term.
Update 2: After a few weeks, I went back to the clinic for a Dermablate laser treatment to reduce scarring. Accordingly, this is better than CO2 laser treatment, which is the gold standard. The staff was very meticulous, the procedure itself was more painful than CO2 but in general I was very happy with how it went. I only had one procedure thus far — usually more than one treatment is necessary to see the full effects.
