Belo launches gravity-defying non-surgical facelift

MANILA, Philippines – Anti-aging is so last year — now there’s a procedure that makes you look younger as you age. Recently, Belo Medical Group launched Thermilift, a non-surgical facelift that works for up to nine months post-procedure, so you look younger than you did last year. Even if you’re not technically “old,” Thermilift can still help you: You can use it to tighten and contour certain areas of the face and body that hold excess fat or have shown sagging.

Perhaps one of the most memorable examples presented at the Belo Medical Group’s Thermilift launch was that of a man who used it to sculpt abs onto a relatively flat stomach. The procedure works on such a precise level that it can give you an eight-pack in a matter of months. With the help of the breakthrough procedure, the body can achieve what it might not necessarily be physiologically capable of, like melt unwanted fat in very specific areas.

The complaint I always hear from those who like to work out is how they wish they could exercise their double chin or chubby face away. We know too well how no amount of planks would ever result in a jawline like Rosario Dawson’s — this is what Thermilift claims to be capable of doing. If it can sculpt the abs, it can sculpt the face.

Thermilift works on the different layers of the face, which are the skin, fat and muscle, via an injectable RF. It’s the first and only machine that enters the skin through a thin probe and targets a particular level of tissue, from a layer as superficial as wrinkles on the skin to deeper levels of fat and muscle that cause jowling. It can also address the sagging muscle that causes a double chin. It can also smoothen the neck.

“When we talk about aging, we talk about skin. But underneath the skin is fat, and underneath that is muscle. Other machines really only target the skin, they don’t do anything about jowling, fat and muscle. As you get older, muscle on the face goes from being round and cute to becoming long and sagging. Thermilift is the only thing that can go inside the skin and target the muscle. In the Philippines, as we age, our faces get big. In England, the faces look gaunt. So it’s great for Filipinos, because our faces get bigger as we age.”

Dr. Vicki Belo also says Thermilift will eliminate the need for a tummy tuck, which can leave a rather huge scar, and can also be used to relax nerves that cause frownlines with results that are more lasting than Botox. “It can even be used to slim the nose,” she says. “It’s also great for men who like to have a really strong, masculine jawline.”

How does it work? The doctor inserts micro needles into the skin, delivering a controlled, consistent dose of RF energy while viewing exactly how the heat energy is being transmitted on an infra red camera. The procedure takes around one to three hours and has little downtime, save for some swelling or discomfort. Patients see an immediate effect, as well as a more pronounced effect over time.

Belo Medical Group is the first and only carrier of this first FDA-cleared machine that uses temperature-controlled RF. Belo is calling it the “real non-surgical facelift.”

Present at the launch were Dr. Bryan Kinney, board-certified plastic surgeon and chairman of the Thermi Clinical Advisory Board, and Barry Rigby, vice president for international sales of Thermi Aesthetics. Kinney says the trend in aesthetics is more and more leaning towards looking natural, nothing overdone or obvious. “Have you lost weight? Did you take a vacation? Are you in love? Have you been exercising? You look good. What did you have done? I can’t tell,” Kinney says of the ideal reaction, a reaction that patients usually get with Thermilift.
