Zsa Zsa Padilla endorses Thermage for Belo

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Divine Diva Zsa Zsa Padilla certainly knows how to take care of her looks – from her face to her skin to her body. This is something she puts importance on as she is constantly under the glare of kleig lights – on television, the movies and concert stage.

“I don’t sleep with make-up on,” Zsa Zsa shares. “I always clean my face well. From my forehead to my toes, I always moisturize. I’m confident enough to show my skin bare in public when I don’t need to wear makeup, because I take care of it. I’m vain in more ways than one. I’m lucky not to have many pimples or blemishes… thanks to good genes and a solid beauty regimen.”

After endorsing the breakthrough whitening product, Belo Essentials, Zsa Zsa now promotes Belo’s Thermage, the only non-invasive treatment that ensures tighter skin, renewed facial contours and healthier collagen. The incision-free procedure is fast and easy and requires no down time from normal activities. Unlike lasers which require four or more sessions, Thermage can be performed only once on patients of all skin types.

“I’m always dying to go to Belo medical for my usual treatments – facial, my favorite Pan-G and now, Thermage,” Zsa Zsa says. “What women have to go through just to make ourselves beautiful. But not just to please our man, let me be clear on that. We do it because we love to look and feel beautiful.”

Other Filipino celebrities who have undergone Thermage with the Belo Medical Group include Albert Martinez, Lorna Tolentino and beauty queen Margie Moran-Floirendo.

Immediately following a Thermage procedure, your skin should feel tighter, smoother and more youthful. Thermage employs a patented radio frequency (RF) technology called ThermaCool, which has been clinically proven to tighten and gently lift skin, and smooth-out wrinkles. The said device has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Association (FDA) for the non-invasive treatment of facial wrinkles.

Thermage can also be done for the eyes, hands and abdomen. The procedure causes immediate tightening of the collagen structure, with additional tightening over time. Thermage has an excellent safety record and is now available in over 70 countries. It is estimated that over 275,000 procedures have been performed with the ThermaCool device and Belo has contributed to many of those procedures in the past three years.

In 2007, Belo finally merited an international recognition it rightfully deserves. Dr. Belo’s extensive experience in the medical field recently earned her the enviable citation from Thermage International as the number one doctor in the world who has performed the most number of Thermage procedures worldwide. She bested over 2,000 physicians from other countries, including the United States, Europe and Asia.

The award is both an honor and a dream come true for the Belo Medical Group, which is celebrating its 18th anniversary this year as it remains in the forefront of putting Philippine medical tourism on the map and turning the Philippines into “the beauty capital of Asia.”

The recognition also proves that Filipino doctors are now at par with other international medical practitioners when it comes to cosmetic dermatology, a specialized, world-class industry.

Certainly, being number one in Thermage worldwide will open bigger doors for the Belo Medical Group. With the most experience, affordable price, excellent service and standards at par, if not better than, with the rest of the world, there is no better time to encourage non-surgical rejuvenation here in the Philippines.

The Belo Medical Group has clinics at the Medical Plaza in Makati, Podium in Ortigas, Tomas Morato and Trinoma in Quezon City, Rustan’s Makati, Greenhills, San Juan, Westgate in Alabang, The Terraces, Ayala Center, Cebu and the recently opened, the Residences at Greenbelt in Makati.

Belo Medical Group is No. 1 in the world for Thermage

Friday, October 17th, 2008

The Belo Medical Group, led by noted dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Vicki Belo, has finally merited an international recognition it rightfully deserves. Dr. Belo’s wide experience in the medical field recently earned her the enviable citation from Thermage International as the number one doctor in the world who has the most number of thermage patients.

The award is both an honor and a dream come true for the Belo Medical Group, which is celebrating its 18th anniversary this year with a current thrust to put Philippine medical tourism on the map and turn the Philippines into “the beauty capital of Asia.” The recognition also proves that Filipino doctors are now at par with other international medical practitioners when it comes to cosmetic dermatology, a specialized, world-class industry.

Mr. Gary Wilson, Thermage International’s Vice President for International Sales, flew in to Manila last January to personally confer the award to Dr. Vicki Belo and the Belo Medical Group for having the most number of thermage cases worldwide for 2006, besting over 2,000 physicians from other countries, including the United States, Europe and Asia.

Thermage International is the renowned medical device company responsible for breakthroughs in radio frequency technology through its patented ThermaCool device. Along with the thermage award, the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery also presented Dr. Belo with a $10,000 medical grant for marketing and research.

Approved by the US FDA in November 2002, thermage is now available in over 70 countries. In fact, it is estimated that over 275,000 procedures have been performed with the ThermaCool device and Belo has contributed to many of those procedures in the past two years.
