WIN a €400 voucher for FILO Advanced Skin & Laser Clinic

Run by a team of nurses and with an emphasis on catering to people of colour, Cork-based aesthetic clinic Filo has opened its first Dublin location, and to celebrate, they’re giving away a €400 voucher to one lucky winner.

Founded by husband and wife duo Ryan Jay Lumor and Christina Quingco, both qualified nurses from The Philippines, FILO is proud to offer the latest beauty and wellness treatments.

Ryan and Christina have intentionally secured their impressive collection of treatment machines from around the world so that they can have more options for people of colour – an often overlooked area in the Irish beauty industry.

“When we were researching the market, a lot of clinics had machines made for fairer skin,” said Ryan. “We’ve heard experiences of our fellow people of colour, that they were either turned away or their options were very limited because of the colouration of their skin. That’s why for most of our investments, we ensure they’re applicable to all skin types.”

They opened their first skin clinic in Cork in 2022, and quickly became popular for their expertise and range of treatments. Now, opening their second location in Dublin’s Charlestown Shopping Centre, Ryan hopes to continue this championing of diversity and high-quality treatments. “Our clients are looking for non-invasive options in skin rejuvenation, instead of the usual Botox and fillers. Our mantra is to rediscover your natural glow no matter your skin type.”

Along with their high-tech machinery, FILO is able to achieve this goal with their knowledgeable staff of nurses and their bespoke process with each client. “Our staff are all nurses. It’s a big investment but it pays off because there’s an extra layer of accountability and responsibility in everything that we do. Our team is trained in facial and skin anatomy, they understand how treatments will affect your skin, and they understand post-treatment care.”

To celebrate the opening of their new Dublin location, FILO are giving away a €400 voucher to one lucky winner, who could spend it on any of the clinic’s treatments.
