An afternoon tea serving healthy, savory fare by Happy Ongpauco recently gathered a number of beautiful ladies who — other than their summery garb of flowy dresses, florals, pinks and purples — had one thing in common: A secret to rejuvenation.
Yes, everyone knows the Belo Medical Group has all the arsenal to help bring about renewal to a slew of skin and body issues, but this latest one creating buzz is called Profhilo, the first “bio-remodeling injectable that uses 100 percent pure hyaluronic acid,” also described as “revolutionary and restores your skin’s lost elasticity and firmness by injecting the naturally occurring substance ‘beneath the skin’.”
It is an anti-aging treatment that is administered via injectables (preferably two sessions spaced one month apart for best results) on any part of the body, causing the area to become more youthful in appearance.
“We actually got Profhilo to address aging on the neck,” said the noted aesthetics expert, Dr. Vicky Belo. “Profhilo is really, really, truly one of my favorite treatments at the clinic. It’s my lifesaver because … in the 35 years I have been in practice, I have found, I think, a cure to everything except the neck. And I have tried everything on my neck but it just looked worse and worse. There was nothing I could do for my neck until Profhilo arrived. On my face, it has given me structure, and your face gets smaller. This is one time when, I think, skill really counts because you have to do it at the right level.”
For actor Alice Dixson and long-time Belo endorser, Profhilo is “for volume.” After having had the treatment twice already, she noticed that her face looked more youthful.
Aliza Apostol Goco, “mustlovemom” on Instagram, admitted that the injectable treatment initially scared her, but after thorough research, she found that it is safe, “very, very safe,” she said. “It’s for skin hydration, elasticity, it promotes collagen production — so, why not, right?”
After undergoing a session, Apostol-Goco happily noticed that, while there was still some slight soreness on one part, “it was manageable,” and two weeks later, her skin was “plumper, glowing because it was well-hydrated.”
“It’s an amazing product, very different from skin boosters,” attested Dr. Belo.
Hanae Cuyugan, business manager of NeoAsia Group, the exclusive distributor of Profhilo in Southeast Asia, tells DAILY TRIBUNE that the treatment has been around for 10 years now — “with 10 million syringes used, that’s how safe and effective the treatment is.”
Belo is now also expanding into wellness and longevity, revealed Dr. Vicky.
