VMV Hypoallergenic Featured product line: VMV Re-Everything

Re-Everything pretty much sums up what this upscale line is all about. Re-Everything products: Regenerate — by stimulating skin cells to produce more elastin and collagen in order to strengthen skin and prevent wrinkles; Revitalize — antioxidants offer triple protection of the skin from damage; Rebuild — boosts the formation of anti-inflammatory cell hormones and minimizes inflammation as it heals and protects cell walls; and Renew — skin allows for faster renewal of skin cells! The Re-sult? Visibly younger-looking skin, a vibrant glow, noticeable smoothening of fine lines and wrinkles!

Featured VMV Skin Treatment

Located on C. Palanca in Legaspi Village, Makati, VMV’s Center provides the same professional skin cleaning and pampering services that it has been known for the last 20 years. This writer’s favorite is the Blemish Buster. It scours away dead cells and features a thorough, meticulous comedone extraction — cloggers can run, but they can’t hide — to get pores almost as naked as the day they were born. This facial does wonders to banish acne.  

Svelte Wellness Center Featured product line: Avène

Belo Medical Group in Tomas Morato.

Svelte is a distributor of the French dermo-cosmetic line Avène. The Avène brand is dedicated to each level of skin sensitivity — from sensitive, intolerant to allergic.  Each product contains the Avène Thermal Spring Water, a unique ingredient whose properties have been endorsed by dermatologists over the years.

Featured Svelte Treatments

Located at Eastwood City, the center’s signature facial, Svelte Clarifying Facial, is a customer favorite especially if combined with MicroVisage (hydra diamond peel). Svelte Clarifying Facial helps hydrate and clarify the skin. This is a classic facial for people who want to maintain a blemish-free and contoured face. It includes deep cleansing, thorough exfoliation, toner, exclusive Svelte Slimming face massage, mask, serum and hydration for the face and eyes.

Belo Medical Group featured product: Cosmelan

Cosmelan is a skincare treatment designed to prevent and improve the imperfections caused by hyper-pigmentations. With an easily applied professional external treatment to normalize acne-prone skin, Cosmelan reduces and eliminates skin blemishes, increases skin luminosity and equalizes skin tone.

Featured Belo Medical Group Skin Treatment

Glycopeel (Facial) Cleaning is a treatment that makes use of different concentrations of fruit acid applied on the skin to unroof pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and exfoliate dead skin. Recommended for oily and acne-prone skin, glycopeel cleaning can be done every week and the treatment lasts for 30 to 45 minutes.

Belo Medical Clinics are located in Alabang, Greenhills, Makati, Ortigas, Tomas Morato and TriNoma.
