9 Belo Babies Who Have Tried (and Love!) Virtue RF
September 29, 2023
Stretch marks are a common concern that many individuals face. Stretch marks are often as a result of rapid weight gain, pregnancy, or hormonal changes. While they pose no health risks, these subtle scars can affect one’s confidence and self-esteem. Here’s how Belo can treat it!
This method involves using compressed air. This is to separate the layers of the scar; is helpful in collagen regeneration and improving its appearance. There is no downtime, though patients may experience some swelling and redness. “This is done monthly, [about] 6-8 sessions depending on the severity,” says Dr. Guada Santos-Capiz of Belo Greenhills.
Combining radio frequency (which stimulates fibroblasts to rebuild collagen and elastin) and microneedling, Virtue RF reduces the appearance of stretch marks and scars. Not only that – it tightens skin, too!
Microneedling may sound scary. However, Dr. Santos-Capiz assures that topical anesthesia (emla numbing cream) is provided and the procedure is overall tolerable.
“Collagen will grow in the next 30-90 days. Patients usually see the best results after three months,” she said.
A highly-revered skin booster to date, ASCE+ Exosomes can help heal and restore stretch marks as they have regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties. Administered topically or using the Belo-exclusive Nanosoft® needle, this treatment is painless. It can run from 15-20 minutes after the topical anesthesia (emla numbing cream) is applied. As a matter of fact, it can be a standalone treatment or an add-on to another Belo treatment, such as Virtue RF. “We encourage our patients to apply ASCE+ Exosomes after [Virtue RF]. Since we are already in the middle layer of the skin, it makes it easier for them to absorb ASCE+ Exosomes effectively.” says Dr. Santos-Capiz.
