MANILA, Philippines - Today at 7:30 a.m. on ABS-CBN’s Salamat Dok, Dr. Vicki Belo (photo) gives us a sneak peek at everything we need to know about looking and staying beautiful — from losing weight to fighting the signs of skin aging even to making our faces look softer and more youthful.
Vicki will turn keen eye on five key procedures offered by Belo Medical Group: Smart Lipo, Thermage, Botox Masseter, Fractional CO2 and Embedded Needle.
If you have curves and bulges in all the wrong places, Belo has Smart Lipo for you. It uses state-of-the-art technology to minimize pain and discomfort and bring traditional liposuction treatments one-step higher to give patients the best lipo experience yet.
Thermage lifts and tightens skin. The non-surgical treatment uses radiofrequency technology to gently heat the skin and stimulate the production of new collagen, resulting in skin-tissue lifting and tightening.
Botox masseter is a specialized treatment that involves injecting Botox into the masseter muscle in the jaw to reduce its size, giving the face a smoother and softer contour. Elsewhere, it has been used on patients struggling with chronic jaw locking and jaw pain, adding the benefit of comfort on top of beauty.
Fractional CO2 uses lasers to correct and remove scars, warts, lesions and other unwanted skin imperfections. The new technology gives patient a higher level of comfort with less pain and requiring much less post-procedure care.
For those age lines, the embedded needle treatment will do the trick. It is used to correct depressed lines on the face such as deep frown lines that can’t be addressed with Botox alone. Tiny threads are inserted in target areas to correct volume loss often associated with aging.
