This new luxury men's clinic for sexual issues offers discreet treatments, designer spaces
A new luxury clinic aims to provide a safe environment to address men's sexual health free of stigma.
At Brovage Clinic, short for "Brothers' Vitality with Age," urologist Frederick Mendiola, along with fellow doctors Alan Tan and Avee Clinic's Z'Shen Teo, hope to educate Filipinos about taboo topics like sex.
“Medyo wala talagang nagpapatingin. Kaunti lang talaga because of the stigma, because in our society, medyo taboo ang sex. Even the husbands and wives, they don't even talk about sexual dysfunction. Nagkakahiyaan,” Mendiola said during the clinic’s opening, which PhilSTAR L!fe attended.
According to Mendiola, 85% of men with erectile dysfunction do not seek consultation because of “shyness and machismo," which is why BroVage Clinic was designed to be discreet. There's no signage outside to cultivate that safe space free of judgment.
“The minute that they step into our clinic, mafi-feel nila na, ‘Uy, this is something new. I feel relaxed,” he added. “We want this na talagang by appointment. As much as possible, we want to schedule consultations with one-hour intervals.”
The clinic offers services such as erectile dysfunction treatment, testosterone replacement therapy, male aesthetic procedures, male enhancement procedures, and different wellness and longevity programs like anti-ageing IV therapy.
“Injecting things like bio-stimulators to increase the blood flow makes the skin younger. So, whatever we do to the face, we can do it to the male organ as well. So I think that's where we’re bringing that awareness, that even if it's hidden, it can still look good, right? So that's what aesthetic urology is,” Teo shared about aesthetic procedures.
Cozy treatment rooms
The clinic features three spacious rooms for clients, and each one has its own cozy waiting area and treatment space.
The first room houses their Emsella chair, a high-intensity electromagnetic seat that can help stimulate pelvic floor muscles.
“It’s like doing 11,000 Kegel exercises in 28 minutes. You need that for sexual function and for control of the flow of the urine,” Mendiola explained.
The procedure, which costs P90,000 for six visits, is completely non-invasive, and the guest does not need to remove any clothes throughout the session.
The third room, on the other hand, holds their shockwave therapy machine for erectile dysfunction treatment.
For VIP consultation, clients are invited to Mendiola's main office, which then leads to a private treatment room.
To further create a luxurious and comforting atmosphere, Brovage Clinic has a built-in bar, allowing guests to order refreshing drinks to cool their nerves and unwind.
Teo hopes that Brovage Clinic will serve as a place where men can go to address their health concerns amid the rise of unreliable advice from the internet.
"A lot of people find answers everywhere, right? They go to the internet, they go to Facebook, they do whatever they want, but we need to have a place where it's medically sound with board-certified specialists to give them the right answers," he highlighted.
Brovage Clinic is located 2F Unit C, W Highstreet Bldg., 28th Street Corner 11th Ave., Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.
It's open from Monday to Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
