The famous faces in Sala Restaurant earlier this week for Teosyal and its Philippine distributor DMark Beauty’s awarding lunch for The Aivee Clinic all looked refreshed, lifted, and contoured. Glowing and blooming while still looking natural and expressive.

I was star struck by Maricel Soriano who brought on her superstar power to the lunch, dishing out her iconic “Wag mo ka ma-Terry Terry!” line to me, legendary maldita expression and all. I told her I honestly couldn’t believe Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin came out 30 years ago, and she humbly revealed she is now 59, and she has The Aivee Clinic’s Dr. Z Teo and Dr. Aivee Teo to thank.

Teoxane is the Swiss company behind Teosyal, a line of hyaluronic acid fillers best known for their soft, natural look. This week, Aivee Clinic is recognized as the leading user of Teosyal Fillers from 2022 to 2023 in the chain clinics category for the fifth year in a row. Their secret? “A good doctor-patient relationship,” Dr. Aivee tells YStyle. “And hard work!”

Dr. Aivee is the best when it comes to any treatments at The Aivee Clinic. I’m happy to say that at 59 years old, I’ve never looked so good. A combination of treatments such as fillers, threads, and laser treatments really made my face look tight, contoured and lifted.”

The Aivee Clinic is no stranger to getting awards for various treatments. “It comes from experience. If you have a varied experience with various fillers, you are able to identify what really works. If you only have experience with one kind of filler, then that is all you know,” she explains. “We do a lot of fillers and certain fillers are meant for certain indications. As a dermatologist you have to know which filler is best for each feature and which area to use it.”

“I look well-rested, even without makeup. What it did was it made me feel younger, look better and more hydrated. It made me feel so much better — naturally.”

Apart from her practice at The Aivee Clinics with husband Dr. Z Teo, they invest in traveling the world to learn the latest indications and techniques and then bring it back home here in Manila and Singapore. Also a foodie and a cook, she makes this comparison: “It’s like cooking. You can know the right technique but you can only improve it by yourself through practice.”

It’s a commitment that she and DMark Beauty CEO Nikki Tang have in common. “What sets The Aivee Group apart is their holistic approach to beauty and wellness,” she says. “They integrate advanced medical treatments with lifestyle and wellness solutions, providing their clients with a comprehensive and personalized experience. This alignment with Teoxane’s philosophy of combining aesthetic treatments with skincare solutions ensures that patients receive the most effective and well-rounded care.”

DMark Beauty has been bringing in some of our favorite skincare brands since 1998. When Tang saw aesthetic treatments shifting to non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures, she sought not only a good product but also a company with advanced training and support —something Teoxane delivered. “This paves the way for a culture of continuous learning and excellence.”

“(I achieve) subtle changes, stunning results, (and a) lifted contour with ease.”

Teoxane is a globally renowned Swiss brand for dermal fillers and one of their go-tos. Dr. Z explains, “The advantage of Teoxane as a dynamic filler is it’s able to move as the face moves. It’s very soft and looks and feels natural.” The Aivee Clinic offers a diverse range of fillers for every look and need, and they usually use Teoxane on patients who prefer and would suit a soft look, getting it on their under eye area, lips, jawline, and chin.

As for avoiding the dreaded puffy filler face we see on social media? Dr. Aivee notes, “fillers address loss of volume and hollowness.” Other concerns like sagginess and skin crepiness, she has found, will benefit best from other, complementary treatments.

She advises improving the quality of the skin before getting fillers. She explains, “When you fill compromised skin, it doesn't look good. When you have good skin quality and have hollowing is when you will get the best results.”
