Flagship Clinic at One Ayala Continues to Redefine Beauty in the Philippines

As Belo Medical Group turns 35, its flagship Belo NEXA clinic celebrates one year and sets its sights on global leadership in medical aesthetics.

Manila, PH – It’s a double milestone for Belo Medical Group this year. In August, the country’s leading medical aesthetics brand marked its 35th anniversary. Now, its crown jewel—Belo NEXA in One Ayala, Makati—marks its first year.

The anniversary evening brought together Belo ambassadors, members of the press, and close friends of the brand. Guests enjoyed cocktails and conversations while looking back on NEXA’s first year.

What began as a vision over a decade ago by Dr. Vicki Belo and Dr. Hayden Kho Jr. has now grown into a 737-square-meter flagship clinic with 12 state-of-the-art treatment rooms and 4 operating theatres. In just one year, Belo NEXA  has welcomed thousands of patients seeking world-class care.

“I wanted to build a beautiful, world-class clinic that I would be proud to show everyone,” shared Belo Medical Group founder Dr. Vicki Belo.

Newly appointed CEO Gina Lorenzana echoed this pride: “At NEXA, we have facilities that are unparalleled—even around the world. We’re proud to showcase that the leading edge of medical aesthetics is right here in the Philippines.”

Expanding the Belo NEXA Family of Experts

Hosted by Belo baby Nicole Andersson, the night also highlighted the Belo’s growing roster of medical experts. Dr. Belo and Dr. Kho introduced two new specialists joining NEXA: Dr. Tristan Catindig, a plastic surgeon specializing in gynecomastia (male chest contouring), and Dr. Dax Pascacio, one of only two craniofacial surgeons in the country. The event also spotlighted a full-circle story: Dr. Rodnie Valerio, who first came to Belo as a patient at 13, is now one of NEXA’s resident physicians.

“The good thing about the clinic is you really get to know your patients—not just their stories, but their lives. At NEXA, we always strive for international standards while giving extraordinary service,” he shared.

The Future of Belo and Philippine Aesthetics

If NEXA’s first year is any indication, the future is bright. For Dr. Vicki Belo, the dream extends beyond beauty. It’s about positioning the Philippines as a global hub for medical aesthetics and research.

“When I started Belo, my first dream was to make Filipinos feel more confident in their own skin. My second dream was to make the Philippines a global destination for aesthetics and research. With NEXA, I feel like we’re closer than ever to achieving that,” shared Dr. Belo.

CEO Gina Lorenzana added, “Belo has always been about forward-thinking. From pioneering lasers, Botox, and fillers to introducing world-class surgical and non-invasive treatments, we’re just getting started. Expect even more innovations from Belo NEXA in the years to come.”

As Belo celebrates 35 years of beauty and NEXA turns one, the message is clear:  the Philippines is no longer just keeping up with global aesthetics, it is helping set the standard.
