About
About Dr. Maria Santos
Dr. Maria Santos is BGC's most trusted board-certified dermatologist, combining 14 years of clinical excellence with cutting-edge laser training from Tokyo. A graduate of the University of the Philippines College of Medicine, she completed her dermatology residency at the Philippine General Hospital before pursuing advanced laser surgery fellowship training in Japan. Her approach centers on evidence-based, personalized care — every patient receives a custom treatment plan and a thorough written aftercare protocol. Dr. Santos speaks fluent English and is particularly popular among BGC's expat and international visitor community. Her clinic, Lumière Skin Clinic, is known for its clinical precision, premium equipment, and genuine after-care support that extends well beyond the treatment room.
Our Editorial Verdict
Dr. Santos holds the highest verified patient satisfaction score of any dermatologist we reviewed in BGC — 4.9 across 723 Google reviews. Her specialization in fractional CO2 and Nd:YAG laser resurfacing produces consistently documented outcomes. She is the only BGC practitioner with a Tokyo fellowship in laser surgery, and her after-care protocol is the most thorough we encountered.
