Quoted Claims vs Reality: My Experience at Clinica Divinagracia
For visibility and to help other prospective patients find this review, I am quoting how Clinica Divinagracia markets itself. Based on my experience, these claims are false and were used to extract money while causing real harm to my skin. I suffered lasting skin damage despite paying for a premium treatment. I am now seeing a dermatologist in the hope of undoing the damage caused by Dr. ENT Alexis Divinagracia.
"As an aesthetic clinic with both surgical and nonsurgical treatments, Clinica Divinagracia offers the latest innovations in medical and surgical aesthetics locally and abroad. Dr. Alexis Divinagracia is an ENT surgeon specializing in aesthetic, facial plastic, and reconstructive procedures."

ORIGINAL POST
Lasting Skin Damage After Paying a Premium for Treatment
Dr. Alexis Divinagracia is an ENT surgeon who runs Clinica Divinagracia in Cebu. She brands herself as a specialist, but I am extremely disappointed with the results of the acne surgery (extractions). She pushed a multi-session package and charged me ?6,000 per session, which is a high premium for this type of beauty service, but the quality was poor.
I was very patient and followed her recommended skin care protocol, completing three full sessions over the course of nearly three months. Dr. Divinagracia told me that a series was necessary for clinical results, so I stayed committed and strictly followed all her post-procedure aftercare instructions. Unfortunately, my skin is now in worse condition than when I started.
Within 48 hours of every single session, my skin flared up with painful, inflamed breakouts in the exact areas that were extracted. I waited well past the healing window of the final session to judge fairly, but the results were consistently bad, leaving me with deep inflammation and dark marks (PIH) that were not there before.
Dr. Divinagracia seems to have many certificates on her wall rather than actual experience. She pushed a three-session package on me for a total of ?18,000. At this price point, you expect medical-grade precision, not aggressive extractions that damage the skin barrier.
To be fair, the Clinica Divinagracia environment is very clean and she is very well behaved. However, being clean does not fix poor results or a lack of skill. If you are looking for actual skin care results and value for your money, I would suggest other beauty clinics.
