Dare to bare this summer!

MANILA, Philippines –  Summer is no time to hide  with the House of Obagi (HOO) Contour Program, you can don that bikini with confidence. As early as now, women and men everywhere are tweaking their health and beauty regimens to achieve the ultimate summer body.

Among the more popular body shaping procedures is Lipotomy, a lipodissolution   technique that aims to dissolve undesirable greasy clusters of fat without the use of active drugs and without surgery. It consists of a series of micro-infusions using a hypotonic mixture to create a physiologic salt solution. This natural substance has the property of dissolving fat by attracting water from the intercellular area into the fat cell causing it to swell. A special manual and mechanical massage treatment follows to help break the bloated fat cells.

Another procedure for localized fat reduction is HOO Sculpt, which utilizes Ultrasound Cavitation technology wherein low-frequency waves combat the effects of fat accumulation. Considered as an alternative to surgical liposuction, Ultrasound Cavitation is a painless procedure. It is a safe and effective procedure that can address multiple problem areas such as the abdomen, love handles, thighs, buttocks, saddle bags and upper arms.

Also under the HOO Contour Program are the RF Contouring Technology, Mesotherapy and IV L-Carnitine. RF Contouring Technology works by generating heat deep in the fat and dermis layers of the skin. By doing so, the natural metabolism of cells in the fat layer is increased, thus releasing their liquid fat content. It also boosts collagen production, which effectively reduces the appearance of cellulite. Mesotherapy, on the other hand, involves injecting small amounts of medication and supplements to address specific undesired pockets of fat. Like Mesotherapy, IV L-Carnitine involves injecting a natural substance  L-Carnitine that helps stimulate the body’s fight against fat.

For those who prefer instant results, body shaping surgical procedures are also offered at HOO. While non-invasive procedures require continuous sessions to achieve and maintain visible results, surgical procedures offer instant contouring in time for the summer season.

HOO redefines ‘total beauty’

When HOO added plastic surgery to its treatments, it raised the bar among medical boutiques, making this type of service accessible to the public, and more importantly, setting a high standard for other clinics by promoting the importance of having experts  surgeons who have trained, practiced and continue to develop in the field  on board.

House of Obagi has also enlisted the expertise of Board-certified plastic surgeons and members of the Philippine Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, Inc., to perform surgical procedures for the face and body.

Dr. Mae Guzman, one of the reconstructive surgeons practicing at HOO Center for Dermatology in TriNoma, says dermatology and cosmetic surgery often go hand in hand. True enough, many patients who are meticulous about skin care are also very much aware of the condition of their bodies.

With the addition of surgical procedures, HOO is the only medical boutique in the Philippines that combines the science behind an internationally renowned skincare brand and expert body care, all under the guidance of Board-certified doctors.
