1. What is the #BeloPerfectBrows 3D Eyebrow Enhancement? This semi-permanent procedure involves a cosmetic tattooing of your brows. It uses micro-needles to push semi-permanent dye or pigments on the surface of your skin, just like a tattoo treatment. Belo brow experts are trained to create fine strokes that follow the growth of existing hair to ensure the most natural look.
2. Who can have this procedure done? It’s recommended for those who want more defined and natural-looking eyebrows. So pretty much, all of us.
3. How many sessions are needed? After one session of #BeloPerfectBrows, a retouch or two is usually required to achieve the perfect brow shape for your face.
4. Is it painful? Take it from former patients—#BeloPerfectBrows is usually a painless experience. That’s because a topical anesthesia is applied on the brows 30 to 45 minutes before the procedure.
5. How long does the procedure take? After applying the anesthesia, it takes another 30 to 45 minutes for the actual tattooing.
6. How long is downtime? Scabs may form on the brows after the procedure. Don’t worry, these will naturally flake off in a matter of days. The healing process takes at least four weeks. If you’re going for a retouch, this can be done at a minimum of four weeks after each session.
7. What sets #BeloPerfectBrows apart from other brow tattoo procedures? The mark of #BeloPerfectBrows is that your arches will never look unnaturally tattooed on, even though it is essentially a tattoo procedure. The #BeloPerfectBrows technique was developed to look like natural hair on your eyebrows, slashing minutes off your makeup prep time by allowing you to wake up to your best brows ever, every single day.

Reason #1: Hydrogen Rich Water Helps Fight Free Radicals

Unfortunately, one of the downsides of modern life and all its conveniences is that our bodies are constantly being barraged by free radicals, which attack healthy cells. This leads to oxidative stress or, simply put, cell damage—the source of ailments like wrinkles, acne, eczema, and even more serious illnesses like asthma, diabetes, and even cancer. When infused into water, hydrogen is efficiently introduced into the system and works as an anti-oxidant, allowing it to repair damaged cells and prevent free radical attacks.

Reason #2: Hydrogen Rich Water Promotes Alkalinity

Acidity can be brought about by things like stress, exposure to environmental toxins, and a less-than-ideal diet. Since many illnesses require acidity to thrive, this needs to be counteracted with alkalinity. Fortunately, you can help restore your body’s pH balance by drinking hydrogen-rich water. By doing so, you can help you increase your immunity and flushes out acidic toxins, improving your overall health and wellness.

Reason #3: Hydrogen Rich Water Reduces Inflammation

There’s a reason many athletes are being asked to drink hydrogen-rich water. Some studies have shown that it can help reduce inflammation brought about by exercise and exertion, an important consideration when you’re subjected to lots of stress. And since inflammation can also be caused by the food you eat, adding more hydrogen-rich water to your system can help you suppress it and move you towards healthier living.

Reason #4: A Hydro Bottle Is Just More Convenient

One of the many reasons we’re not drinking enough water at work? It’s a hassle to keep going back to the water cooler to refill your glass. Make it easier for you to stay hydrated by parking the Hydro Bottle with you at your desk. It can store more water than a regular mug and the compact size means it isn’t unwieldy in your desk (tip: it can also fit conveniently in your car’s cup holder, and can even be toted around in your purse without spilling!).

Reason #5: A Hydro Bottle Makes for Super-Instagrammable Content

Just imagine how good your Insta-stories will look when you punctuate your posts with your beautifully-lit Hydro Bottle set against crisp white sheets, lush foliage, or your yoga studio as a blurred-out background? Plus, it’s always a great conversation starter when you start infusing your water or charging your bottle. Pretty cool, right?

Aging is a natural process in life where one peaks at wisdom, refinement, and maturity. Biology also teaches that in aging, the body learns to acknowledge that there are lines you need to accept, and marks and creases that signify conspicuously as experiences lived well.

While youth is a fleeting blessing, technology enables women to experience aging with more sophistication and a little bit of fun. To age gracefully now is to welcome change and take on new aesthetic adventures. For moms especially, when it comes to health and well-being, they always put premium on taking better care of themselves.

Painless, non-invasive

When a woman becomes a mother, she can’t help but worry about the future. “How do I juggle the many responsibilities in life? In the midst of all that things that I need to do, how do I squeeze in my schedule the art of looking and feeling young and beautiful?”

A premier non-surgical and no-downtime anti-aging treatment is gaining prominence in the world of beauty and skincare. It is called Belo Thermage, which has easily become a popular choice among discerning Filipino patients who look for more advanced technologies and skin care experts you can trust.

With the Belo brand, and the gravitas and reputation of Belo doctors, Thermage delivers in providing naturally younger-looking skin with immediate and noticeable effect that keeps on getting better. Result can often last up to two years.

Often described as a pain-free skin exercise, Belo Thermage is a non-invasive treatment for skin lifting and contouring using radio frequency energy. Heat energy treats deep tissues and remodels the collagen while protecting the skin surface with its patented Comfort Pulse Technology. The Belo Thermage is clinically proven to help smooth skin for an overall younger-looking appearance on all skin types, in a single procedure. One can also achieve reduced double-chin, lesser jowling, a shapelier jawline, and a smaller, V-shaped facial contour.

It is also the first system to receive FDA clearance for non-invasive eyelid treatments. It’s highly recommended for those with tired looking eyes, excess skin on the upper eyelid, crepey texture of eyelids (often the culprit why it’s hard to apply eye shadow or eye liner), wrinkles and fines around the eyes.

In the Philippines, Belo Medical Group has been a top user of Thermage technology for over a decade. Belo is also the first and only Black Diamond awardee by Solta Medical, a global leader in the medical aesthetics market.

One of Belo Thermage’s well-known users is Miss Universe 1993 Dayanara Torres, who serves as the face of Belo Thermage. “It’s like a mini lift without surgery and no downtime,” she shares. Now, Belo Medical Group wants more people to be aware of the benefits of Thermage technology in the Philippines, and moms can certainly find the magic behind Belo Thermage a great companion in graceful aging.

From her first jaw-dropping Belo billboard back in 2010, Jinkee has maintained her amazing transformation throughout all these years. Now, she is looking younger and even sexier after having five kids. You must think, “The world is really not fair. How can someone be sexier after having more kids?”

Well Jinkee Pacquiao is not shy to admit she was able to achieve her body goals through Liposuction. She said she decided to undergo Liposuction because she wants to look and feel beautiful—and there’s nothing wrong with that because it only means you’re choosing to love yourself more.

“I decided to get Liposuction because I have a problem with excess fat. I feel ugly. I can’t wear tight clothes. I always wear big t-shirts to cover my big arms. I’m fat and I just want to be sexy.”

It was seven years ago after giving birth to her third child when Jinkee underwent Liposuction. She did this full-body procedure on her arms, waist, hips, wings, back, thighs, and upper and lower abs, and she said it’s one of the best decisions she’s ever made in her life because it made her feel confident and happy.

“Doing the Belo Liposuction really changed me because now, I’m more confident about myself. When I look in the mirror, I see a happy woman and that makes me feel beautiful inside and out. You see, what people don’t understand procedures like these are not always about vanity—more than looking good, it’s the feeling good and being healthy that matters. When you feel healthy and beautiful, everything around you feels beautiful as well. It’s really life-changing.”

But it doesn’t stop there for Jinkee. After the liposuction, she makes it a point to exercise four times a week, eat healthy, and avoid soft drinks and sweets to maintain her svelte body. She also stressed the importance of having a healthy mind on top of a healthy body, and says it’s very important to have a positive outlook in life and having the right perspective.

“Renew your mind by changing the way you think about life. You have to love God and you have to have a heart for people and everything else will follow.”

Jinkee wants her amazing Belo transformation to serve as an inspiration to women from all walks of life regardless of weight and age. She wants women to be happy and feel beautiful every time they look at themselves in the mirror.

“Everything is possible if you believe in yourself. Choose to be happy by loving your body, being fit, and being healthy.”

To be Healthier

As everyone now knows, ‘it’ girl, entrepreneur, and model Georgina Wilson-Burnand has taken on her most challenging role yet: that of a new mother to one of the most adorable babies you’ll ever see on Instagram, Archie. “My favorite thing about motherhood is the fact that I didn’t know I could be this happy,” Georgina beams. “I’m more relaxed, because no problem is too stressful. Everything is put into perspective when I’m with my baby.”

The happy family! Georgina says she puts down her phone whenever she’s with Archie, so she can focus on their time together.

And while she’s clearly smitten with her new love, she’s candid enough to admit that motherhood isn’t without its challenges. “It’s really hard, when you’re living for someone else, to prioritize yourself,” reveals Georgina. “Moms always put themselves last.” This made Georgina to really force herself to commit to a serious diet and workout regimen (her version of self-care), because she realized that there should be no shame in investing in yourself, too. “You shouldn’t feel guilty about prioritizing your own life again.”

Since George has a busy and unpredictable schedule, she wakes up earlier to hit the gym. “Take care of yourself, of your sanity and happiness. It’s hard when you’re a working mom, but you have to,” she shares. “And even if you’re not a mom, in this day and age, a woman is under so much pressure to be and give so much.”

But getting back into shape, shedding unwanted pounds, and tightening the skin around the belly—post-pregnancy or not—is a lot tougher than it seems. So, George chose to reach out and get help—another thing moms should really do, she says. One of the techniques she used to slim down faster? Her customized Body by Belo treatments. “Going to Belo is my me-time. The care and experience they give their patients is really something that sets them apart,” she shares. “Nowadays, there are so many clinics, but there’s nothing like being with someone who’s been in the industry for 27 years. You can’t just try anyone—it’s your beauty, your skin, and experience matters.”

She’s back! Nine (9) months after giving birth to Archie (right) and Georgina today. “I actually feel like I’m a better mom now that I’ve lost weight because I’m no longer sad,” reveals Georgina.

Check out our exclusive scoop on some of the most in-demand Body by Belo slimming procedures—and read on to find out which ones Georgina raves about the most!

The Body by Belo Treatment: V-Contour

According to Dr. Vicki Belo, founder and medical director of Belo Medical Group, V-Contour is an injectable treatment that targets fat. “It’s made from all-natural plant extracts, and it’s a fat-melting treatment ideal for stubborn bulges in both the face and body.” It’s a tolerable treatment because there are only minor redness and swelling after, which go down swiftly, and Dr. Belo assures “It’s nothing you can’t conceal.” Want proof of its efficacy? Look at Georgina’s wedding photos! “I had it done before my wedding, and I’m doing it again now. I’ve done my arms, back, and tummy,” Georgina reveals.

The Body by Belo Treatment: Thermage Body

Thermage relies on a safe, patented radiofrequency (RF) technology that gently lifts and stretches skin, leaving you with visibly tighter, smoother visage. Georgina swears by this treatment! “I love Thermage Body; I’ve had it done on my tummy, which I love, love, love! I recommend this to anyone who’s just given birth or if you just want to have a more toned abdomen.” With zero downtime and hardly any side effects, it’s also ideal for gals with on-the-go lifestyles and don’t have a lot of time to hit the gym.

All eyes on her! “I like that the V-Contouris all-natural and that it was so effective on my stubborn spots. I actually felt results right away,” shares Georgina.

The Body by Belo Treatment: Exilis and Venus Freeze

Dr. Belo explains why Body by Belo is such a comprehensive service—the procedures all work hand-in-hand to give you the best and most immediate results. “Since V-Contour is used for fat, we recommend combining it with either the Exilis or Venus Freeze treatments. These tightening treatments target the skin, making it firmer.” Both are RF machines, with applicators aestheticians use to massage on your body. “You will feel a little heat, but it’s very tolerable. With about 3-4 sessions of V-Contour coupled with Exilis or Venus Freeze, you’ll see optimum results,” says Dr. Belo.

The Body by Belo Treatment: Sculpsure

Want your dream, pre-baby body back with the wave of a (magic) wand? Another effective and non-invasive treatment that can help banish stubborn bulges in your arms, belly, and hips is the aptly-named Sculpsure. One session melts fat in about 25 minutes, and you can already feel the difference after 1-2 sessions. “You’ll feel a combination of warm and cold sensations on the body part being treated, but it’s tolerable. Again, there could be minimal redness and no downtime,” Dr. Belo reassures. This treatment is a step up from the usual laser systems in terms of efficacy, but it’s absolutely safe and comfy.

The Body by Belo Treatment: 360 Degrees Liposuction

Though George opted for the non-surgical route, there are also surgical options available for those who want more dramatic and faster results. But before you freak out at the thought of going under the knife, know that today’s 360 Degrees Liposuction is a lot more modern and designed to drastically reduce recovery time. Because the fat is melted with lasers before being suctioned out, this advanced treatment is proven to minimize excess bleeding, swelling, and bruising. Dr. Belo assures that down time isn’t so bad. “Many patients are up and about the following day. And once swelling subsides after a few days, you’ll start to notice a positive change. Remember though that it takes about 3-6 months to see the full results.”

The Body by Belo Treatment: BodyTite

Doctors highly recommend that you pair this minimally-invasive treatment with liposuction, since this RF-assisted tightening system is the most effective skin tightening and firming procedure—especially around the stomach area. It is designed to eliminate stubborn fat and even smoothen cellulite, while simultaneously re-contouring and firming your body. “We recommend this to post-partum patients,” explains Dr. Belo. “It can really help those with lots of loose skin since it’s not as physically demanding or as invasive as a tummy tuck.”

“Of course, the secret isn’t just one treatment or special procedure,” continues Dr. Belo. The trick is really coming in for a consultation, so the doctor can recommend the best Body by Belo treatments for you—just like they did for Georgina. “We can customize a winning combination of slimming treatments for every patient based on their needs, goals, and lifestyle, so they’re guaranteed to get the best results for their specific body type.”

Marian Rivera is the epitome of flawless beauty. When you see her on television or on your news feed, it just seems like she looks glowing more than ever each time. How did she maintain this glow? Lucky for you—especially the on-the-go girls—her anti-aging secret and beauty travel tips are totally easy. Unlike most beauty routines that tend to be complicated, hers is a low-maintenance routine that’s relatable and really work!

Check out what we learned (and what you can copy) from showbiz superstar, Marian Rivera’s simple, effortless, and candid approach to beauty. P.S. She gives us the scoop on her best anti-aging secret, too!

Marian Rivera's Best Beauty Secret #1: Keep It Simple.

“Moisturizer, sunblock, and lipstick masaya na ako!” Whether she’s shooting on location or on one of her family’s many travels abroad, Marian swears by keeping her skin moisturized and protected from the sun. “Kasi ’diba when you travel, nagda-dry ’yung skin mo. So, moisturizer talaga, hindi mawawala ’yun.” And to accentuate her signature smile? “Addict talaga ako sa lip tint,” she reveals.

Marian Rivera's Best Beauty Secret #2: Don’t Be Afraid To Try Something New.

After Marian became a mommy to Zia, she admits that she slacked off on her beauty routine (“wala akong time,” she confesses) and was more than happy to focus on her family. “To be honest, kapag mommy ka, lalo na if hands-on ka pa, parati kang puyat,” Marian explains. “And marami talagang changes din na mangyayari. Like minsan, iisipin mo na bakit may ganyan ako ngayon—eh dati naman, wala. Now, it takes more effort para hindi mag-mukhang haggard.”

But despite noticing these changes, Marian says that she still didn’t want to try anything new on her skin—especially if it involved needles or injections. “For sure, hindi lang ako ’yung takot sa mga ganyan.” So after she talked about her skin concerns with Dr. Vicki Belo, she was convinced that Thermage (a non-invasive treatment that uses RF technology to gently lift and smoothen skin) was the way to go. “Sobrang nagustuhan ko siya,” says Marian. “Super bilis pa niya gawin kasi after about 30-45 minutes, tapos ka na. Ang ganda nito kasi after one treatment, may na-feel na akong skin tightening and firming—parang ang ganda mo lang bigla!”

We caught Dr. Vicki Belo and Marian enjoying a little girl talk!

According to Dr. Belo, Thermage is an effective, non-surgical way to slow down and reduce the signs of aging since it tightens your skin and produces new collagen. During the treatment, you’ll feel heat from the machine as it penetrates the deeper layers of your skin. “Normal lang naman na may konting redness after, tapos tolerable ‘yung pain, and no need to rest after since there’s no downtime,” Marian shares. “Tapos, napansin ko na the results get better and better. After 2 to 3 months, mas nag-firm pa yung skin ko. Bumalik yung pagka-fresh ko with minimal effort. And then nung sinabi sa akin na results last one to two years, na-realize ko na sobrang worth it na talaga to invest in this type of treatment. So thankful talaga ako na Dr. Belo convinced me to try something new.”

Marian Rivera's Best Beauty Secret #3: Have A Positive Mindset.

“Mas importante pa rin ang totoong buhay na meron ka,” Marian reveals. That’s why her number one advice to looking gorgeous inside and out is to be happy and to prioritize what’s truly important to you. “Now na may anak na ako, nag-lessen na ’yung drama ko. I learned to embrace [what I have],” she explains. “Hindi na rin ako natatakot tumanda kasi aging is a natural thing. And with treatments like Thermage, it makes it easier to accept pa,’diba?”

Good-looking noses run in my family. But unfortunately, the “nice nose” gene skipped me and just went to my other siblings. Can you imagine how conscious I’d get whenever we’d take family photos? Whenever we get together, my relatives and friends would always ask, “Kanino ka nag-mana?” Or, whose looks did you inherit?

Nose-conscious! But TBH, I was also nursing a cold here! Hehe!

It always stung being compared to my better-looking siblings. I grew up with low self-esteem, and always thought that having my nose enhanced would give me the confidence boost I needed. However, my parents and their conservative views held me back because they were worried about what judgmental people might say about me. It took some time, but I eventually began to actively pursue the change I wanted for myself. When I was sure that getting my nose done was something I really wanted, I talked to my parents and explained why I needed the surgery and assured them that I would be in good hands. After that, I did my research and chose the most reputable clinic that would take care of me.

On Expectations & Meeting my Doctor

I discovered that a nose job is a very complex procedure, and depending on the kind you want or need, the doctor can opt to trim off anything in excess, re-shape your nostrils, add an implant, or even build a nose bridge if there was none before. So, after setting an appointment, I was very excited to meet Dr. Nato of Belo Medical Group and find out what was going to happen.

I really appreciated how patient he was and that he really took the time to explain what I should expect—from pre-surgery preparations to my healing and recovery. After that, it was easy to give him my 100% trust. I liked that he asked me what I wanted to change about my nose, and he even asked whose noses I admired. I just told him, “Kayo na po ang bahala, gusto ko lang po talaga ma-enhance yung ilong ko.”

Here’s a look at my old nose! Read until the end—I’ll post a side-by-side shot so you can compare!

Dr. Nato also explained that no two noses are alike, and that even if I had a “peg,” my nose would still be unique. It can get overwhelming, so I was glad that my doctor also managed my expectations and said he wasn’t going to “do magic” on my face—he said it would still be the same skin and the same nasal structure. The only difference was that my nose would be enhanced to look significantly better and to suit the proportions of my face. Dr. Nato told me what would happen during my downtime and explained why I don’t have to be afraid of what I would look like or how I would feel immediately after the procedure.

After the consultation, I actually ended up becoming more excited than scared for the surgery and was really looking forward to seeing my new nose! All I had to do next was do the required laboratory tests and prepare myself physically for the procedure by taking the prescribed medications and eating healthier. I was a little nervous about the lab results, because I was one step away from my new and improved nose! But thankfully, I got good stats and was cleared by the cardiopulmonary service. I was given the green light for my first-ever surgery!

Here We Go!

It was November 23rd—the day of my surgery, the day I’ve been waiting for! I had mixed emotions entering the clinic, but excitement won over. A nurse guided me to the operating room and patiently explained to me what I should and shouldn’t do during and after the procedure, and how to properly handle my wound. A pre-op photo was also taken—the last photo of the old me! As I was brought in, the anesthesiologist greeted me and promised me that everything would go smoothly. IV sedation was soon administered, and my last thought before drifting off to sleep was: “This is it! No turning back now!”

Right after my rhinoplasty! The stitches look a bit scary, but trust me, it was pretty painless!

During the operation, I felt like there were times when I would slip in and out of consciousness since I could hear muffled conversations in the operating room. It didn’t really matter though, because I could feel absolutely no pain at all. The next thing I knew, I was waking up in the recovery room, some 3 or 4 hours later. I barely felt groggy or light-headed; it was just like taking an afternoon nap! I didn’t even need to stay in recovery very long. In fact, my boyfriend picked me up and we headed straight to a restaurant to eat. I was starving! You’re required to fast for 6 hours prior to the surgery, so you can image how hungry I was! While at the restaurant, I did notice a bit of bleeding though. But since the nurse explained what I would expect post-op so thoroughly, I didn’t panic. I was even able to finish my food! I just felt a little dizzy and nauseous when I got home (it’s expected because of the anesthesia), so I just rested and got a good night’s sleep after that.

My Road to Recovery

After my surgery, I was able to work the next day. I didn’t experience any discomfort and managed to do my job—minus the lifting of heavy objects. My biggest challenge was actually not laughing at my friends’ reactions to my face! I was not allowed to laugh and move my facial muscles too much, since this might affect the shape of my now-healing nose.

As for the post-surgery care, it wasn’t that difficult. The nurse explained everything to me in detail, so I knew how to do the following things easily: clean my suture sites, use a nasal spray, care for the bruising and swelling, and to maintain a schedule of important medications to help me heal faster. Pain killers are allowed, but I found that I didn’t need them—I was pretty impressed by that. Speaking of swelling, that would be my only (momentary) regret. I was warned that I would really notice the swelling around the fourth day post-op, especially around the eyes, so I just rode it out and looked forward to seeing the final results, about six months later.

They weren’t kidding about the swelling! Pics of my one-week downtime, but it’s all worth it! So thankful that everything was explained to me really well, so I never panicked at any point during surgery or the recovery process.

The Moment of Truth—Seeing my New Nose

I had a wedding to attend, so the doctors removed the cast and stitches from my nose about six days later. A week or so later, family and friends started giving me positive feedback—they commented how natural it looked and how happy they were for me. I felt so validated!

That’s me in pink and at my sister’s wedding—just two months after my nose enhancement! Told you that good noses run in our family, and now, they don’t make those nakaka-conscious comments anymore.

What I loved was my nose enhancement was that it wasn’t glaringly obvious. Other people would notice that something was different, but they would assume that it was because I lost weight or just have a slimmer face. It’s been a year since my nose job in the Philippines, and to be honest, I’ve never been happier. My confidence just skyrocketed! And I have no qualms about inspiring others to undergo the same procedure and sharing all the positive results I got from making this decision. Looking back and after hearing all the horror stories about botched nose jobs, I am utterly grateful I chose the right doctor and the right clinic. Thank God I got it right the first time!

And as promised, here’s a side-by-side comparison of my old and new nose! What do you think?

Another before and after shot! As you can tell, getting this nose enhancement really helped my self-esteem.

People always say that “you create your own happiness.” For me, getting my nose done was my way of doing that—and it went well past the physical outcome since the surgery helped me see my inner strength as well. We’re all entitled to feel and look beautiful, no matter what that means to you. I’m much more content with myself now, especially since I was able to let go of the insecurities and childhood doubts I had about myself. I can truly say I am happy and confident now—and it’s all because I got a nose job!

Here I am now—all glammed up for our #SelfieSquad campaign. No nose contouring needed anymore!

’Tis the season to look fresh!

It’s time to step up your beauty routine! To make sure you look your very best for the endless get-togethers and photo ops, here are five non-surgical treatments you can try for a youthful-looking glow.

1. Meso Botox

This type of Botox is a quick fix to give you an instant lift or a slight pull. Through new developments in science, modern Botox now softly erases emotion lines and wrinkles on the face, leaving a very natural effect. You no longer get the hard, emotionless mask stereotyped in TV and movies. It’s safe, quick, and any bruising that occurs can easily be covered by makeup.

When You’ll See Results: As soon as one week after the procedure

2. Fillers

While most of us know fillers as the secret to get Kylie Jenner-plump lips, certain types of fillers can actually correct and smoothen wrinkles and skin folds. “Fillers can give you a fresher, more lifted look. In fact, they can even make you look slimmer,” shares Dr. Muñoz.

When You’ll See Results: Instantly, but it’ll take in three to four weeks to fully settle.

3. Thermage

Looking for a quick solution to anti-aging? Try Thermage: “Thermage’s results isn’t dramatic, but you will definitely get a fresher and more well-rested look,” says Dr. Muñoz. This non-invasive treatment lends an instant pull and lift to the skin, while adding instant definition to certain features. It can also be used to tighten and contour the rest of the body.

When You’ll See Results: You’ll see skin improvements with each session and it’ll get even better by the time you hit the three-month mark

4. Venus Freeze

Tighten and tone your face, neck, and body with Venus Freeze, also known as the Belo Fat Magnet. It penetrates through the layers of the skin to effectively contour the face (tip: you can also use this treatment on your body to improve the appearance of cellulite, too).

When You’ll See Results: You’ll need to get the Venus Freeze at least once or twice a week for six sessions.

5. Watch your routine and diet

Of course, all treatments will be put to waste if you don’t put in the work, too. Complement your beauty treatments with a good skincare routine and a healthy diet. Use the right types of creams and scrubs to keep your skin in top shape to make sure that you’re getting the most out of your treatments. For your diet, stay away from foods high in sugar, salt, and saturated fat. (We know, it’s the holidays and this part is going to be hard!) Load up on your fruits and vegetables and make sure that you get enough water every day.

When You’ll See Results: If you combine a good diet with an excellent sleep routine, you can see results within a week.

THE TRUTH: There are different kinds of Liposuction procedures.

THE MYTH: Liposuction is only for those on the heavy side.

THE TRUTH: You actually lose inches.

THE MYTH: Liposuction gives you a license to binge-eat, right?

THE TRUTH: Swelling is usually minimal and the downtime isn’t so bad.

THE MYTH: Doctors who perform liposuction will produce the same results.

THE TRUTH: You need a “clean bill of health” before you’re approved for lipo.

Hair loss is very common concern for men, so there’s absolutely no reason to be ashamed of it. The key, however, is to act before it’s too late.Keep reading to learn more about the two top options in the market today to fight against hair loss—and rest easy knowing you can gain it all back with a little effort, commitment, and preparation.

Your Hair Concern: A receding hairline and a few thinning spots

A Pro-Recommended Fix: Mesohair

An extremely effective method of regaining your hair is Belo’s Mesohair treatment, which stimulates natural hair growth.It’s a relatively uncomplicated procedure with no downtime or pain, ideal for the busy man who’s always on the go. “There’s a medicine formula we concoct, and using what we call the NappageMesotherapy technique, we inject it into the scalp to create tiny ports for the medicine to absorb into the dermal layer,” explainsDr. Joey Muñoz, associate physician at the Belo Medical Group.

The challenge? You have to be patient. “Mesotherapy is very effective and we actually do studies before we perform it on patients. It’s just that the natural hair cycle takes time, so it’s ideal to come every 1-2 weeks,” says Dr. Muñoz. All this effort will be worth it thought, since you’ll begin to see results in about 2-4 months.

Your Hair Concern: You’re balding pretty badly and want to consider a more immediate and permanent solution.

A Pro-Recommended Fix: Hair Transplant

With a hair transplant, hair is harvested from the back and sides and created into grafts, which will then be implanted on your bald spots. After a couple of weeks, sutures are removed and you’ll start noticing new hair growth after about 6 weeks. Think you’re a good candidate for this procedure? There’s a lot of preparation involved, so it’s important to schedule a consultation with your doctor. “If we see that the hairloss is hereditary, or he has a lot of stress, we adjust [our strategy],” says Dr. Muñoz.“We also have to consider also how committed the patient is to the treatment process.”

Don’t waste another day worrying about your hair! The doctors at the Belo Medical clinic can create personalized programs to help you fight hair loss, so click here to schedule your consultation now or Call 819-BELO.

By now, you’ve probably already seen the traffic-stopper that is Korina Sanchez-Roxas’s Belo billboard along EDSA. With her significantly slimmer face and figure, it’s easy for many to assume that it’s all Photoshop. But Korina simply calls it a miracle—one that’s care of Dr. Vicki Belo, that is. For months, the TV personality underwent a revolutionary three-step program called the Belo Triptique. It's a combination of three of Belo’s most advanced, youth-enhancing treatments—all designed to tighten, firm up, and contour the face without having to go through surgery. Read on to find out exactly what Korina Sanchez’s best anti-aging secrets are.

Broadcast journalist, Korina Sanchez-Roxas, made waves across the country when she debuted her beauty transformation. 

Step 1: Belo Thermage

A popular anti-aging treatment amongst celebs in Hollywood and in the Philippines, Thermage uses patented radiofrequency (RF) technology to smoothen, tighten, and contour the skin. The results? A visibly younger appearance after just a single treatment—as if you got a face lift!  

Step 2: Embedded Protein Threads (EPT)

To complement the contouring effect of Thermage, EPT improves the face shape even more by giving it a lift. This is done through the use of embedded protein threads that are inserted into the different points of the face (and neck if needed) to pull and tighten the skin.

It’s actually a quick procedure that takes just 20 to 30 minutes, and comes with minimal pain (a topical anesthesia is used). The effects are immediate, and can last for four to six months. 

Step 3: Belo Vita

This treatment helps in long-term skin regeneration and tissue repair, so you can enjoy having youthful and fairer skin much longer. Hyaluronic acid, glutathione, and other rejuvenating ingredients are infused into the skin using a specialized injector to nourish it from deep within. You'll need four to six monthly sessions to score the best results, but gauging from Korina's jaw-dropping transformation, it's totally worth it.

“Children with a cleft lip or palate are often bullied or seen as different by their peers,” say Dr. Vicki Belo. As a result, their self-esteem also takes a hit.

Bring back the smiles

Dr. Vicki Belo consults with Gian Trebol and Bobby Manzano of Operation Smile Philiipines, about the mission.

Follow us on Instagram via @belobeauty to see her Before & After photos soon.[/caption]   Thinking about giving Baby Botox a try? Here are the Top 5 things you should know about the injectable treatment:

1. There’s no harm in starting young. Dr. Belo says that the official age of aging is 25. This means that if you want to avoid doing the big facelift later on and you want to look 25 for a longer time, Baby Botox is the way to go. “Most of the muscles on our face tend to pull our faces down especially as we get older, so we look a little more tired,” says Dr. Belo. “So if your beauty goal is to look fresh and young—as if you just woke up beautiful—Baby Botox can make that happen.”
2. You need to be gentle with your face post-treatment. The Botox solution that the doctors inject can actually move to the different areas of your face, which is why it’s important to cleanse your face lightly and use a very soft touch when applying makeup on your face for about 3 to 5 days after your treatment. More things you should steer clear of: using electronic cleansing brushes, facial massages, and strenuous exercise.
3. The effects won’t last as long as regular Botox. While a normal Botox treatment can last for 3 to 6 months, the effects of Baby Botox only last around 2 to 4 months because of the lower dosage. Even though this means that you’ll have to come in for more treatments throughout the year, the subtle changes you’ll be making over a longer period of time will also appear less obvious to the people around you.
4. Not all doctors are the same. “Botox is really an art, and not everybody does it the same way,” says Dr. Belo. That’s why it’s really important that you come in for a consultation with your doctor and discuss what effect or look you want from your treatment. “Think of it this way: Everyone can have the same tools, but it’s the artist who paints the painting,” says Dr. Belo. “That’s why we’re very proud of the Belo doctors. They have a lot of experience and get a lot of training, so they paint the painting well.”
5. Make sure you schedule a follow-up appointment. Most patients can see the results of Baby Botox immediately after their session and notice improvements every day. But since the best results can be seen after two weeks, it’s good to schedule a follow-up session around this time so the doctor can check how you’re progressing and how happy you are with the results.

“Batangas, Zambales, Palawan, Siargao—I’ll really go in the summer if there’s time,” Janine reveals.

Glowing morena skin is possible! We're loving Janine in this nude bikini!

“As much as possible, I want to look fit in my swimsuits. But I love to eat—especially when I’m lounging by the beach,” she admits. This is why Janine tries to maintain an active lifestyle with a fitness routine composed of Pilates, boxing, running and swimming. “But my secret is that I also do Exilis at Belo to complement my workout. It helps tone and tighten some of my problem areas like the belly and the arms. It really helps me be more confident, especially for the summer,” she said.

Want to know other ways you can reach your #SummerBeautyGoals like Janine? Check out the most popular summer treatments at Belo—including some of Janine’s faves:

Your #SummerBeautyGoal: Tighter skin & A Toned Body

Your Belo Must-Try: Exilis, which is a combination of radiofrequency (RF) and ultrasound technology. It delivers heat on the underlying tissues of the body without burning the skin. Exilis leads to skin tightening, fat burning, and lymphatic draining and contouring—which is why Janine loves this treatment! It’s the perfect complement to her tough workouts. “It makes my stubborn areas like the belly and arm more toned, so you can see the abs and the cuts better,” Janine shares.

Your #SummerBeautyGoal: Glowing Skin All Over

Your Belo Must-Try: In order for Janine to have smooth and even skin, she goes for a body scrub whenever she has the time. A top pick: the Belo Wet and Dry Dermabrasion treatment. Not only does it exfoliate your skin to get rid of dead skin cells, but it also infuses potent serums into your skin to boost its moisture and radiance. But if pigments or dark spots are a problem, ask your Belo doctor the Revlite laser. “It blasts off pigmentation into smaller particles,” says Dr. Rossanne Daval-Santos, MD of the Belo Medical Group. This treatment lightens problem areas and also helps promotes collagen production, so the skin appears even better after.

Tip: In case you get a jelly fish sting or sand flea bites after your beach trip, this laser can help lighten those marks, too!

Your #SummerBeautyGoal: Pimple-Free Skin

Your Belo Must-Try: The Honey and Almond Facial, which was made to nourish and care for dry skin, and is one of Janine’s secrets to keeping her morena complexion flawless and glowing. “I prioritize keeping my skin clear and clean and I do that with the Honey Almond Facial. It moisturizes my skin, especially in the very hot and dry weather in the summer. It really makes me feel more confident,” she says. Want to splurge a little more on your skin? Ask your Belo doctor about the Hydrafacial. This multi-step treatment lifts away dead skin cells, extracts impurities, and bathes your skin with active serums that are spiked with antioxidants to help reverse the damage you may have gotten from the sun.

Your #SummerBeautyGoal: Smoother, Fuzz-Free Skin

Your Belo Must-Try: Not only is shaving (and waxing!) a hassle, but it can lead to rough skin, ingrowns, and even darkening. If you want touchable skin that you can show off whenever you want, book a laser treatment for hair removal at Belo. “Lasers blast off the hair follicles to weaken it and stop hair growth. For best results, do it once a month with four to six week intervals in between,” says Dr. Daval-Santos. Keep in mind that not all laser hair removal machines are the same, so it’s always best to schedule a consultation for a more customized approach. “The lasers we use at Belo work well for all skin types, but we can also recommend the best one for you based on the thickness of the hair,” adds Dr. Daval-Santos.

#GirlsOfSummer goals! Jess posing with her travel OOTD.

We got to catch up with the It girl and get the scoop on all her style secrets for the season—from her best fitness tips, fashion must-haves, and how she keeps her beauty routine in check despite the scorching heat. Keep reading to find out what Jessica’s tips are and discover how you can achieve your #SummerBeautyGoals, too.

Summer-Ready Tip #1: Workout—even if you don’t feel like it.

“Sometimes I find myself just sitting all day a work, so I really need to [workout],” says Jess. “Every morning, I wake up and reluctantly do the treadmill,” she says. Her current obsession? Fasted Cardio, which has to be done on an inclined treadmill as soon as you wake up and without eating. “Fifteen incline, six feet, 45 minutes. Once I get it done, I’m good to go,” she adds.

She admits, however, that there’s also a downside to sticking to a fitness routine. “Sometimes, I feel like I plateau because I really hate switching it up,” she says. To help with this challenge, Jess turns to Venus Freeze treatment of the Belo Clinic—a treatment that melts fat and is best for tightening and contouring the body. “Even at my skinniest, I always felt like my stomach was so big. It will always be my biggest issue—and that’s how Venus Freeze comes in my life,” she reveals. “It’s for that extra push and those stubborn spots that you need a little help with.”

Take your inspo from Jess—cute athleisure outfits can motivate you to workout!

Summer-Ready Tip #2: Prepare Your Fashion Must-Haves.

Jess’ fashion forecast: one-piece bikinis are back! We’re loving what Jess wore during the Belo #GirlsOfSummer shoot.

Summer-Ready Tip #3: Never Take Your Skin For Granted.

Now we know the secrets to her envy-worthy glow!

Her skin? Always selfie-ready!

Summer-Ready Tip #4: Invest in self-care—no matter what the season.

1. Shaving can cause skin darkening and irritation

   Regular shaving can cause damage to the skin, such as the underarms, due to friction. Whenever you shave, a thin layer of skin along with your hair gets removed—and that can cause problems if you have extremely sensitive skin. This can lead to skin darkening, chicken skin, and ingrown hairs. Yikes! With GMax’s powerful laser energy, the hair follicle is targeted, destroying it at its root while preserving the surrounding skin. The result? Permanent hair reduction is achieved.

2. Laser hair removal is much cost-efficient

   Did you know that studies show that an average woman shaves 11,500 times in her lifetime? Laser treatment becomes a great investment when you think long term because it can cost you a lot lesser when you continue to spend for a lifetime of shaving or waxing! (Plus, razors are not eco-friendly because you have to dispose of blades and the razor itself regularly!). Why do all that when you can save and get a more permanent hair reduction in only 3 sessions with GMax?

3. You save a lot of time

   Just imagine the amount of time you waste getting ready in the morning if part of your regular beauty routine includes shaving or waxing! You have to allot extra time in the day to shave or wax unwanted hair before you’re all set to go. Such a hassle, isn’t it?

4. Smooth, hairless skin everyday!

   Shaving may appear to be a super easy way to remove unwanted hair, but actually your hair will grow faster, thicker, and coarser in the long run. Moreover, both shaving and waxing entails having to let your hair grow out, and then dealing with the awkward in-between hair growth stages. Not in the case when you undergo laser hair removal!

5. Pain no more!

   Why go through the extreme pain of waxing if your hair just keeps coming back anyway? Here’s good news! GMax ensures you have a comfortable laser hair removal experience! It has a patented Dynamic Cooling Device™ (DCD™) which sprays cryogen on the upper layers of the skin before and after the laser pulse. What it does is it eliminates the risk of burns, compared to traditional laser treatments that require the use of clear gel. Don’t you just love this feature?

Subtle changes, big results. Look how Baby Fillers were able to make the lips appear more even and full!
