What counts as a published price
A figure printed by the clinic on a website it controls: a treatment page, a price list, a shop page or a booking page on its own domain. Nothing else counts.
A price quoted in a message, given over the phone, posted as a promotion on social media or printed inside an image does not count, because none of those can be checked later by a reader. A figure written on a third party guide does not count either, whoever wrote it.
Where a clinic publishes a range, both ends are recorded. Where it publishes a nurse rate and a doctor rate, both are recorded, because the gap is part of the answer.
How the clinics were chosen
By what Google shows for the treatment terms in Metro Manila, not by invitation and not by arrangement. The queries used were the plain treatment names and their local variants, for example hifu, hifu makati, ultherapy philippines, pico laser, pico laser philippines, rejuran, hydrafacial and keratin, read from a Philippine location.
Every clinic that appeared in the organic results for those terms went on the list, whether or not it publishes a price and whether or not it is convenient for this site.
How each site was read
Through the clinic's own XML sitemap, not only its home page, so that a price on a deep page is not missed. Some of these sites are large: Belo has 538 URLs, Shinagawa 643, Spectrumed 635. ICONIQUE publishes a price on each of its 51 treatment pages.
Each page was searched for peso figures next to treatment names, and every figure used here was then opened and read in place before it was recorded.
What was left out, and why
Marketplaces. Lazada and Shopee sell product vials rather than clinic sessions, so their prices answer a different question.
Two clinics, MySkin and Kutis, whose own website could not be confirmed. A link to the wrong business is worse than an absent row.
Any figure that could not be opened at its source on the day it was recorded.
What the date on each row means
It is the day the figure was read on the clinic's page. Clinics change prices without notice, so treat the date as the shelf life of the row rather than a promise about today.
When a figure is rechecked, the date changes and the old figure is replaced. A change log sits at the bottom of each treatment page.
How rows are ordered
Price tables are sorted by the lowest published figure, cheapest first, because a comparison table sorted by anything else is not a comparison.
The clinic list uses a price transparency order: clinics that publish more verifiable prices appear first, followed by clinics that publish none in alphabetical order. The count is made by opening the clinic's price pages and recording the figures.
This order measures only the completeness of public pricing. It is not a score for treatment quality, safety, medical expertise or patient experience. The rule is the same for every clinic, the count can be checked against the sources on each card, and payment cannot change it.
What this site does not do
It does not rate clinics, score them, rank them or call any of them best. It does not visit them, and it does not claim to have inspected anything.
It does not publish estimates. Where a clinic has published nothing, the row says so and stays empty.
It is not medical advice. No clinician has reviewed these pages.
Corrections
If a figure here is wrong or out of date, the fastest fix is the source link on the row: open it, and if the clinic page now says something else, this site is behind and will be corrected on the next check.
