WANTED: A ONE STOP BEAUTY CLINIC
Tingting Conjuangco
December 2005
Dear Tingting,
I want a one-stop beauty clinic I can go to.
Could you tell me where?
Olga
The Belo Medical Group. Once an exercise instructor
when I first met her, Vicki Belo sets the tone for her company.
She’s a workaholic and keeps herself always abreast of the
latest in beauty technology through seminars and training abroad.
Touching the corner of someone’s eyes, she suggests, “First,
try Thermage to tighten your skin. It heats up the collagen inside
the skin’s deep layers, smoothing out wrinkles. There’s
a jet peel that uses oxygen to create an exfoliating, gentle peeling
for the complexion.”
Services are found in Vicki’s brochures. Once a two-page overleaf,
it is now four leaves with 45 various treatments. The latest, the
V-Beam, removes red scars. It’s a new laser treatment, introduced
only a few weeks ago at the Medical Plaza branch of the Belo Medical
Group.
Those who are probably jealous of Vicki’s success have criticized
her for advertising beauty remedies for nature’s defects and
to defy the curse of time. But there’s no stopping Vicki and
her very competent team of male and female doctors – and certainly
not her throngs of patients who walk endlessly into her clinics.
Her doctors? Well, I can mention a few of them. There’s Maricar
Cruz, who’s got a good sense of humor and is generous in spirit.
She’s my vein sclerotherapist and injects aethoxysclerol for
my veins to collapse and disappear. She does laser for tattoo removal,
too, among other things.
There’s also Dr. Rhea Flores, who’s young and has a
good eye for symmetry. She works in the Greenhills branch of the
Belo Medical Group. She does Aptos, the thread facelift that lifts
the jaws, cheeks, eyebrows and neck. She performs lipo or whatever
a patient may need, like Dr. Jun Caparas who’s always on the
go and is just a cell phone away.
The smallest and cutest of them all is Dr. Eloisa Buse, who’s
cool and friendly, and always willing and able to assist. She does
multi- beauty remedies on the ninth floor of the Belo branch in
Makati, which has expanded its clinic space.
Call the Belo main clinic in Makati at 817 7178, 817 9283 or 0917-8398182.
Visit the clinic at Suite 901 Medical Plaza, Amorsolo corner dela
Rosa Sts., Legaspi Village, Makati City. Log on to www.belomed.com
