Doctors Brian Ang, Charlene Ang-Tiu, and COO Suzzane Ong-Tan on Making Beauty and Wellness Accessible to Filipinos.
The founders of One World Skin & Wellness believe that dermatology and aesthetic surgery are more than just means to the superficial; they’re opportunities for a holistic future
In the pursuit of providing quality cosmetic procedures to the greater Filipino community,
CEO and plastic surgeon Dr. Brian Ang shares that such passion runs in the family. “Our dad was a surgeon in the cancer field, but for us siblings, we wanted to take on broader specializations,” he shares. “For me, it was plastic surgery, as when you look beyond the prosthetic side of it, there’s actually a lot more to the field that not only restores form but also function.”
Apart from uniting his specialization with his wife, Dr. Daphne Chua-Ang’s own in pathology, the budding business owner also found that his family shared the same sentiment in pursuing their independent practices. So alongside Ang’s cousin, Suzzane Ong-Tan’s background in the cosmetics industry, his sister and board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Charlene Ang-Tiu, One World Skin & Wellness officially opened its doors in 2022 with a mission to make skin, body, and hair health accessible to Filipino communities through their shared values for communication and collaboration.
“During the pandemic, surgical procedures were down because nobody wanted to go to the hospitals. So we thought of establishing our own venue where patients could still have access to our services,” Ong-Tan shares. “We opened our clinic with the belief that every Filipino deserves access to quality dermatological, aesthetic, and plastic surgery treatments, so our mission is to provide such services without compromising on compassion, integrity, and affordability.”
In adapting to the year’s more digital-centered climate, the team decided to expand its reach through social media, led by the founder’s niece and marketing head, Nicole Uy Labrague, creating educational yet trend-inspired content that also highlighted the clinic’s credibility by featuring its growing family of dermatologists and plastic surgeons.
