Aesthetic clinic introduces AI-powered tech to Cebu

CEBU, Philippines — As part of its commitment to elevating the local aesthetic and wellness industry, Base Aesthetics has introduced the first Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered technology in Metro Cebu.

Called the EXION device from BTL Aesthetics, this world-class beauty technology is expected to attract not only the local beauty and wellness enthusiasts, but also help Cebu strengthen its positioning as the center of Medical Tourism in the Philippines.

Cebu is fast emerging as a premier destination for medical tourism, and Base Aesthetics is at the forefront of this transformation, said Base Aesthetics founder Dr. Fremont John Base.

Base, who is also an active member of the Philippine Association of Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgeons (PAPRAS), is joined by his business partners Christie Chua Tan and Ryan Alegre.

Base Aesthetics commits to setting a new standard for luxury and cutting-edge aesthetic treatments, he said.

By bringing EXION to Cebu, the clinic not only enhances patient experience but also strengthens Cebu s position as a premier hub for non-invasive and surgical beauty solutions, Base said.

As global demand for high-quality, affordable aesthetic procedures rises, Cebu is strategically positioning itself as a key player in the medical tourism sector. Base Aesthetics’ investment in world-class technology such as EXION underscores its role in attracting both local and international clients seeking top-tier beauty and wellness services.

Developed by BTL Aesthetics, EXION combines radio frequency (RF) and targeted ultrasound to deliver skin tightening, wrinkle reduction, and body contouring with AI-driven precision.

The adaptive technology customizes treatments based on an individual s skin type, ensuring safer, more effective results further building up Cebu s reputation for medical excellence.

Cebu has the potential to become a leader in medical tourism, and at Base Aesthetics, we are dedicated to bringing the best innovations to the city. EXION represents a new era in non-surgical rejuvenation, and we are proud to be the first to offer it in the region,” said Base.

Located at the City Sports Club, Cebu, Base Aesthetics delivers a high-end, personalized aesthetic experience.

The clinic s integration of advanced technology with bespoke beauty solutions caters to a growing clientele seeking world-class treatments without leaving the Philippines.

With this latest innovation, Base Aesthetics not only raises the bar for aesthetic medicine in the country but also reinforces Cebu s global appeal as a premier destination for medical tourism and wellness.

According to Global Wellness Institute (GWI) a nonprofit organization dedicated to research and education in the global wellness industry, the Philippines is a growing destination for medical tourism for a range of services from cosmetic and surgical procedures to dental care, due to cost-effective treatments combined with a high standard of care, English-speaking medical staff, and plenty of beautiful wellness retreats for recovery. — (FREEMAN)
