Have we entered the hybrid filler revolution?
Manila Bulletin
|August 20 2025
Bringing this world-class innovation to the Philippine shores
When international pharmaceutical giants invest in Filipino medical education, it signals both confidence in the local market and commitment to elevating Philippine healthcare standards. The collaboration between Vanguard Aesthetics and Merz Pharmaceuticals to bring Dr. Nabil Fakih to Manila represents a significant milestone in the Philippines' aesthetic medicine landscape, showcasing how strategic partnerships can transform local medical practice while introducing revolutionary techniques that are reshaping global aesthetics.
Dr. Fakih has revolutionized aesthetic medicine with his groundbreaking "hybrid technique" that combines two different types of facial fillers to achieve superior, longer-lasting results. This innovative approach has trained over 31,000 doctors across 46 countries and established new global standards for facial rejuvenation.
The investment required to bring internationally renowned experts like Dr. Fakih to Manila-typically ranging from $25,000 to $50,000 for speaker fees and travel alone-underscores the serious commitment these companies have to Filipino medical professionals.
