TV host-impersonator KaladKaren visits newest alternative skin clinic in BGC
Why Avignon? What’s in a name?
When we talk about beauty, luxury and history, the city of lights- Paris will always come to mind. While it is true, Paris is just so expensive, crowded and cliché. There is a city in southeastern France where you can enjoy the same history, luxe and even surpass the beauty of Paris sans the price tag- and that city is AVIGNON.
Avignon Laser Dermatology is your formidable alternative clinic to skin and aesthetic concerns. Avignon even exceeds the quality and services that you can expect from centers that have gone ahead of us. Now, you don’t have to pay as much for the same results.
Major Advantage: Avignon is powered by advanced aesthetic devices manned by expert professionals.

2 Reasons for Avignon as a Startup:
“Firstly, we wanted to help our patients to be more confident with themselves. Avignon is their ally in reaching their goals. We wanted to be instrumental to their success as women and men of Avignon.
“Secondly, Filipinos deserve better and modern treatments. In my pharmaceutical back ground, I’ve seen innovative aesthetic machines in expositions and exhibits around the world, and we want to bring those closer to home where we can all enjoy it without flying out, to make it reachable for everyone.
“Avignon is powered by advanced aesthetic devices manned by expert professionals. No matter how good the device is, if not used correctly and if you don’t deliver the right pulses or beams, it will not deliver optimal results.”
Other Differentiating Features:
Ultra Private Rooms: Unlike most clinics which uses curtains as doors and collapsible light materials as dividers, Avignon has private rooms with solid doors and walls. Patient can enjoy full privacy and security. They can freely discuss their aesthetic concerns and the doctors can provide them expert advice.
Instagram Worthy and Hygienic Set Up: The modern French minimalist interior makes the clinic Instagram worthy without sacrifice the aseptic environment of a clinic. The clinic is another manifestation where beauty and science were merged without compromising each other. A relaxing place where you can recharge and unplug from it all.
Each furniture was carefully selected, the texture and sheen were balanced to ensure that it was not overly done. The Avignon team made the right choice in choosing Moss Manila as their partner to dress up the clinic. It has remained faithful to the theme- BOLD, ELEGANT AND OPULENT.
(Note: Avignon signature scent is expertly designed to soothe both the mind and body. After the treatments you will feel like you just finished a well-deserved beauty-vacation.)
Secluded Location: Avignon Laser Dermatology is strategically nestled in the affluent corner of BGC. The place is almost exclusive that one feels the serenity and tranquility that you didn’t know BGC can offer. A private retreat just a stone’s throw away from your office.
Free Parking: This might not sound a lot but when you are in BGC this is a game changer. Parking is scarce in BGC and if ever you find one it might not be as close to your destination not to mention that it be expensive. Avignon offers free parking at the ground floor level of Fort Victoria, just at the back of the clinic. Talk about convenience!
