“This partnership is rooted in a shared vision, to elevate aesthetic medicine through innovation and trust,” said Ferdinand “Louie” Roxas, General Manager of Galderma Philippines. “By working with an institution like Avignon, which mirrors our values and commitment to excellence, we can bring global dermatological solutions to local patients who deserve the very best.”
Andy Chou, Head of Commercial Operations of Galderma, also highlighted the significance of the collaboration in the broader regional landscape. “Our partnership with Avignon Clinic aligns perfectly with our vision to expand access to advanced regenerative aesthetic solutions across Asia-Pacific with strong medical expertise with a patient-first philosophy.”
With a reputation for state-of-the-art facilities and a focus on tailored patient experiences, Avignon Clinic reinforces its leadership through this strategic alignment. According to Christopher Cachuela, Founder and CEO of Avignon Clinic, “This collaboration with Galderma enables us to offer not just world-class treatments, using evidence-based products that deliver high patient satisfaction and ensure safety for our patients. Our clients can expect the most advanced, clinically tested injectable solutions to meet their changing skin goals.”


A New Era for Injectables in the Philippines
The partnership spotlights three key innovations:
Sculptra®, often described as the foundation for youthful-looking skin, is the only collagen stimulator made with PLLA-SCA, a unique formulation proven to stimulate type 1 collagen—the most abundant form in the skin. Results begin as early as 14 days post-treatment and can last over two years, offering natural-looking firmness, radiance, and elasticity over time.
Restylane® Skinboosters Translucent Vital is the only hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable clinically proven to enhance six aspects of skin quality. Patients can expect deep hydration, improved smoothness, reduced fine lines, even tone, reduced scarring, and a refreshed glow that lasts up to 15 months.










Restylane® Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) lip filler designed specifically with movement in mind, made with Optimal Balance Technology (OBT). This advanced formulation allows for precise, natural-looking results that move harmoniously with every smile, and expression. Whether a more defined lip contour, improving lip symmetry, achieving naturally full lips, or smoothing perioral lines (commonly known as smoker’s lines), Restylane Kysse is the ideal choice for patients seeking personalized, expressive beauty that complements their unique facial features.
“More than just treatments, these injectables represent confidence,” said Michelle De Jesus, Business Head of Galderma Aesthetics Philippines. “We understand patients’ apprehensions about injectables, and that’s why we’re focused on education, transparency, and the use of rigorously tested products that deliver subtle, natural improvements.”
What’s Next: Forward-Thinking Aesthetic Programs
As part of this partnership, Avignon and Galderma will roll out a series of educational campaigns, exclusive treatment programs, and medical symposia to further demystify aesthetic injectables and empower patients to make informed choices.
“There’s a lot of misconceptions around injectables, because some think it’s about changing who you are. But at Avignon, our philosophy is enhancement, not alteration,” noted Benedict Sy, President of Avignon Clinic. “By partnering with Galderma, we’re confident in providing results that feel natural, look refined, and will age gracefully with our patients.”
This partnership signifies a mutual dedication to raising industry standards while nurturing the growing trust Filipino patients place in aesthetic medicine.
