LoveYourself Inc., a non-profit dedicated to raising sexual health awareness, envisioned a future where queer and PLHIV (People Living with HIV) Filipinos could access affirming, inclusive, safe, and judgment-free healthcare. This vision led to the creation of Luxecare, the organization’s first private clinic arm. Luxecare celebrated its 5th anniversary last Friday, February 14, 2025—a milestone in the ongoing fight for queer healthcare equity in the Philippines.
Luxecare: A Safe Haven, A Lifeline
The anniversary celebration brought together advocates, healthcare professionals, queer ambassadors, and allies to honor Luxecare’s impact and the lives it has transformed. Since its launch, Luxecare has become more than just a clinic—it’s a lifeline.
Since its inception, Luxecare has catered to over 13,000 clients, providing a safe haven for the PLHIV and LGBTQIA+ community.
On top of their HIV/STD testing services that they have offered from the very start, they now also provide Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy (GAHT) consultations, ensuring that every trans-Filipino has access to expert medical guidance in their transition journey with their holistic healthcare approach. In addition to GAHT, they offer e-consultation, STI testing and treatment, prophylaxis, and pre-exposure prophylaxis, all done in an inclusive, stigma-free environment, upholding LoveYourself Inc.’s guiding principles, the 3 Is: iniingatan, inaalagaan, and inaasikaso.
On top of these, Luxecare offers top-notch, premium, and readily available aesthetic services that affirm gender identity, providing personalized and compassionate care for their clients. These services include acne scar management, CO2 laser treatments, and optimum pulse laser treatments. Staying true to their mission of empowering the transgender community, they also offer free treatments like acne light therapy, rosacea management, and collagen boost rejuvenation to said individuals who are part of the community.
The anniversary event was also a time for gratitude—a heartfelt thanksgiving to patrons, partners, and advocates who made Luxecare’s success possible.
Acknowledging the successful 5 years, Luxecare is determined to embrace the future with confidence. Raymond Mejorada, Luxecare’s Managing Director shares, “Our vision remains clear–to continue setting new standards in excellence and to empower every individual who walks through our doors.”
Among the esteemed attendees was Dr. Vinn Pagtakhan, Founder of LoveYourself Inc., who reinforced the organization’s dedication to uplifting the Filipino LGBTQIA+ community. In his speech, he shared, “At LoveYourself, we are more determined than ever to find solutions, care for our community, and move forward with hope and resilience.”
Luxecare Looks Ahead with Love
As a gesture of gratitude to the trans community and its unwavering supporters, Luxecare unveiled significant announcements, including plans for expansion and exclusive anniversary promos designed to make queer healthcare even more accessible.
To reach more LGBTQIA+ Filipinos, Pagtakhan also teased the opening of Luxecare’s sixth branch located in PITX in the next few months. This enables them to service to more members of the community, ensuring they get trans-supportive and responsive treatments from a healthcare expert.
Apart from this, special anniversary promos and special discounts on services await patrons until the end of the month. These generous offers from Luxecare make sexual health accessible to more Filipinos.
Luxecare will also soon launch the X Virtual Clinic, an online hub specializing in providing STI testing. This innovation is undergoing its final touches, but will soon be available for their patrons. As Neithan Cebrano, Luxecare’s Operations Head, has shared, there’s more in store in the months to come.
A Future of Inclusivity and Affirmation
As Luxecare moves forward, it remains steadfast in its mission: providing accessible, high-quality, and affirming healthcare for Filipinos. With every step, Luxecare continues to build a safer, more inclusive space where individuals can thrive, live authentically, and embrace their true selves.
The future is bright for Luxecare, and garnering more support from concerned institutions yields the same outcome for the PLHIV and LGBTQIA+ communities.
