Thirty-six years ago, Dr. Victoria “Vicki” Belo revolutionized aesthetic medicine in the Philippines, democratizing the industry and making “Belo” synonymous with beauty. Today, the Belo Medical Group is pioneering a completely new frontier: introducing XIGLO, the country’s first clinic dedicated exclusively to precision longevity, aesthetics and holistic wellness.
At XIGLO, the approach to holistic beauty is built on a simple but powerful premise: outer radiance is a direct reflection of inner vitality. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, XIGLO offers physician-led, science-backed and highly personalized care designed to optimize how you age from the cellular level outward.
“We’ve wanted to move into longevity for a few years now, and the reason we did it only now is because we’ve been researching, we’ve been studying and we really don’t do anything halfway. We want to make sure that everything is science-based, so we’ve partnered with the experts on longevity,” said Dr. Vicki Belo, founder, chairwoman of the Board, and Chief Medical Advisor of Belo Medical Group.
Absolute privacy and premium care
Located in the exclusive 1 Proscenium at Rockwell, XIGLO redefines the luxury healthcare experience. The clinic was meticulously designed to prioritize discretion and comfort:
Ultimate Privacy: The clinic is strictly by-appointment-only with zero shared spaces.
Dedicated Concierge: A personal concierge guides patients through every step of their visit.
Comprehensive Facilities: The premium space features specialized aesthetic treatment rooms alongside a dedicated wellness wing.
World-class science meets ultra-personalization
To ensure world-class standards, XIGLO’s clinical framework was co-developed with Prof. Dr. Dominik Thor, president of the Geneva College of Longevity Science and a global authority holding patented breakthroughs in cell regeneration.
Precision longevity at XIGLO relies on establishing a biological baseline through doctor-led diagnostics to address root causes like inflammation, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic fluctuations.
“It is always going to be ultra-personalized. You have to understand what the patient is made of: their genetic makeup, their epigenetic makeup, their history, their environment. Only then can you build the journey. This is a long-term process, not a one-off treatment. It has to be built on scientific evidence, rooted in ethics and oversight. You are influencing the trajectory of a patient’s life,” he said.
A response to evolving patient needs
XIGLO was created to address the silent health struggles of otherwise “well” individuals who want to maximize their healthspan and quality of life.
“We listened to our patients, and what they were asking for changed. People still care about aesthetics, and we’re very good at that. But now they’re also concerned about what’s happening on the inside. The number one thing we heard was sleep. People are tired, yet they can’t sleep. Then perimenopause and menopause hit women, and they don’t have a place to talk about it. Men go through the same thing, and they won’t even talk to their friends about it. These aren’t people who are sick. They’re well, and they want to live longer. XIGLO is our response to that,” said Gina Lorenzana, CEO of Belo Medical Group.
The journey and treatments
The patient journey begins with a comprehensive consultation and diagnostic testing to establish a personal baseline. From there, a bespoke treatment plan is crafted, monitored and supported by a multi-disciplinary panel of top-tier specialists.
When health and vitality are nurtured on the inside, radiance naturally translates outward. And XIGLO is setting the standard for the future of wellness and longevity in the Philippines.
