Glutathione: Today’s best-kept beauty secret

Dr Pierre Clero, this soft-spoken doctor from Paris, has always something new up his sleeve. I have heard an attractive lady telling her friends that this good doctor did wonders for her. He put her to sleep and she woke up beautiful and curvaceous. No more flab, no more baby fat, and curves in all the right places. Then she went through a series of intravenous injections and her skin turned a shade whiter. Miraculous changes, all in the name of beauty, under the guidance of Dr. Pierre Clero.

Dr. Pierre Clero has transformed a lot of the goddesses you see around town. They swear by his techniques and will always go back for more. Recently, he opened what he calls a wellness center, which is actually a combination spa and medical clinic. The medical procedures are non-invasive treatments that will meet your needs in your quest for the fountain of youth.

There is the mesolift, which is meant to rejuvenate and reinvigorate the face. The mesolift is a cocktail of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, alpha-lipoic acid, and minerals injected on the face. It is painless because he applies anaesthetic cream before the procedure. After a few mesolifts, you will find your skin tighter, fine lines disappearing and deep lines minimized.

Mesotherapy is done on the stomach, thighs, and any area that you wish to firm up. For this, he mixes a cocktail of fat burners. You need at least five to 10 sessions to really see the results. He will not recommend this if the person is really overweight. It is for slim people who have flab here and there, and wish to firm up.

A very interesting treatment he does is for skin whitening. The client is applied a mask with antioxidants and glutathione with alpha lipoic acids. This is supposed to whiten the skin. But a faster way of doing it, which allegedly is the method that Michael Jackson did to whiten his skin, is an intravenous injection of 600-mg. of glutathione. This is done through an electronic syringe that releases the medicine within 20 to 25 minutes. It is supposed to be really effective in whitening the skin. Now it can be told: It is not vitiligo that changed the color of Michael J. It is gluthathione injections!

Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and is supposedly anti-aging. It does wonders for the skin and gives a person a sense of well-being. It also aids in the treatment of blood and liver disorders.

Another skin beautifier is Dr. Clero’s diamond peel. It is a peel using soft diamonds to scrape off the first layer of the skin. The result is new, baby soft skin, smooth and free of blemishes. This is good for erasing unflattering pigmentations and eliminating fine lines.

The center also does the services of a beauty salon: massage, using essential oils from France; facials, using Dr. Clero’s special anti-aging creams; body scrub to exfoliate tough and lifeless skin; and the usual manicure, pedicure, and foot reflexology, a perfect way to de-stress yourself after a hectic day in the office.

The Wellness Center is located at 219 Nicanor Garcia St. (formerly Reposo St.) and it is better if make an appointment by calling 897-4122.

Dr. Clero launched his new project with a bang. Former First Lady Imelda Marcos and Makati Mayor Jejomar Binay led the ribbon cutting. Metro Manila’s health and beauty-conscious personalities graced the affair.
