    Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Center Celebrates 4th Anniversary with Grand Event and New Milestones

    Manila, August 28, 2024 — In a spectacular celebration held at The Elements At Centris, Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Center marked its 4th anniversary with the grand launch event titled “Love Above All 2024.” The evening was a testament to the brand’s unwavering commitment to self-love, empowerment, and giving back to the community, featuring inspiring speeches, performances, and the much-anticipated unveiling of their latest initiatives.

    A Night of Milestones and Memories

    The event was graciously hosted by the dashing emcees, who are also Dear Self’s brand ambassadors, Ric Abasola and Allan Dale Alojipan, who set the tone for the evening with their dynamic presence and engaging style. They guided the audience through a night filled with heartfelt moments, stunning performances, and the celebration of new beginnings.

    The highlight of the evening was the official launch of the “Love Above All” TV commercial, a first in the history of Dear Self Aesthetic and Wellness Center. Mr. Kenneth Tecson, the Chief Marketing Officer, shared the inspiration behind the commercial, emphasizing its deeper meaning beyond mere advertising.

    “Hindi ito basta commercial lang—ito ang kwento na sumasalamin sa bawat isa sa atin, at sa bawat isa na naniniwala at sumusuporta sa likod ng Dear Self. Kwento natin ito. This isn’t just a commercial; it’s our story,” Kenneth expressed with pride. He elaborated on the use of the artistic concept of chiaroscuro in the commercial, symbolizing the duality of life and the journey of self-discovery. “Love Above All” isn’t just a theme anymore; it has become a philosophy that has guided us through every decision, every challenge, and every success.”

  • Luminisce Introduces Teoxane’s Glowing Lift: A New Era in Non-Surgical Facelifts

    Luminisce Introduces Teoxane’s Glowing Lift: A New Era in Non-Surgical Facelifts

    Luminisce, the leader in skin care and wellness, proudly introduces the Teoxane Glowing Lift to its array of advanced aesthetic treatments. This revolutionary dermal filler, developed by the renowned Teoxane Laboratories, offers a non-surgical solution for facelift and contour enhancement, restoring youthful radiance and lifting facial contours with cutting-edge hyaluronic acid technology.

    Multilayering Technique: Precision in Practice

    At the heart of Luminisce’s approach is the multilayering technique, a breakthrough in HA filler application. Unlike traditional filler methods, which inject filler into a single skin layer, this advanced technique places small amounts of filler into multiple layers of the skin. This ensures more balanced and natural results.

    “Our multilayering technique allows us to achieve a more precise and natural outcome for our patients. By placing the filler in different layers of the skin, we can better enhance facial dynamics and deliver long-lasting, radiant results,” said Dr. Kaycee Reyes, founder and medical director of Luminisce.

    Before & After: The remarkable difference achieved through Luminisce’s Teoxane Glowing Lift—experience the power of non-surgical rejuvenation.

    The Power of RHA Technology: Dynamic and Natural-Looking Aesthetics

    Teoxane’s Glowing Lift is powered by revolutionary RHA Technology. Unlike traditional fillers, Teoxane’s formula is designed to naturally adapt to facial movements, such as smiling, talking, and eating. This dynamic flexibility allows the filler to resist deformations and pressures, providing long-lasting, natural-looking results. Imagine the possibilities for your journey towards radiant, youthful skin.

    Facial Movement at the Heart of Innovation

    Teoxane is the first dermal filler company to place facial movement at the core of its product design. Utilizing a unique manufacturing technique called Preserved Network Technology, Teoxane preserves the long chains of hyaluronic acid (HA) naturally found in the skin. This minimizes the need for excessive cross-linking, allowing the filler to adapt to facial movements while maintaining the natural properties of HA. This innovation ensures that the treatment mimics the natural behavior of the skin, creating smooth and subtle enhancements that align with your facial expressions.

    A Non-Surgical Facelift for Radiant Results

    The Teoxane Glowing Lift offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery. By restoring volume and enhancing contours, it rejuvenates the skin and delivers a youthful, radiant glow—all without the need for extensive downtime or recovery. With Teoxane’s breakthrough technology and Luminisce’s advanced multilayering technique, small acts of self-care can lead to natural-looking, radiant results that transform your look and boost your confidence.

    Teoxane Glowing Lift is now available at Luminisce. Discover the magic of dermal fillers and experience the future of aesthetic treatments.

  • Five Things You Should Know Before Getting Lip Fillers

    Five Things You Should Know Before Getting Lip Fillers

    Getting lip fillers can be an exciting way to enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. However, there are a few essential things to keep in mind before you take the plunge. Here’s a handy list to help you understand what to expect for natural-looking results.

    1. Lip fillers can look and feel natural

    Many people worry that their lips will not look natural after a lip injection and that others will notice they’ve had something “done.” Achieving natural-looking lips means they should look natural not only when your face is at rest but also when you smile and talk.

    Caption: Dr. Foz, more endearingly called Dr. Gorj by her patients, is the only WHO-accredited doctor for Transgender Health in the Philippines.

    Restylane Kysse is made with Optimal Balance Technology™ (OBT™), an innovative crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) gel created for precise, natural-looking results. Dr. Mary Kevinne Foz, also known as ‘Dr. Gorj’, of A1 Medical Aesthetics noted that it helps her patients achieve a subtle enhancement yet provides a high level of patient satisfaction.

    In a “kissability study” conducted with Restylane Kysse, 100% of participants were satisfied with their lip filler, and 96% agreed that their lips feel and look natural. Even their partners found them more attractive post-treatment.

    Dr. Foz adds, “For me, the main advantage of Restylane Kysse is that you keep people guessing. The only people who should be able to tell if you’ve had a procedure is yourself and your romantic partner when they kiss you.”

    2. Lip fillers require upkeep

    Dr. Foz mentions that the number one question from patients is about the longevity of lip fillers. For Restylane Kysse, the effects are clinically proven to last up to 1 year, but results may vary based on your body chemistry and the amount of product used. It’s essential to discuss with your injector the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.

    Restylane Kysse is a part of the Galderma Aesthetics product line, known for personalized treatment plans to ensure patients receive the best care possible.

    3. Lip fillers are for everyone

    Dr. Foz is the only Filipino doctor accredited by the World Professional Association for Transgender Health. She emphasizes the importance of choosing the right kind of fillers and avoiding unregulated products. Educating patients about safe and effective options like Restylane Kysse is crucial, especially for those exploring their gender identity and seeking aesthetic enhancements.

    “Sometimes, patients will get treatments from clinics that are not FDA-approved. Or they will buy fillers online that are not regulated and ask these clinics to inject it for them,” Dr. Foz says. “So, as a Doctor to trans-women patients, I have to educate them regarding the best, safest options available to them.”

    4. Contoured lips are in

    Current beauty trends favor lined lips topped with gloss, and Restylane Kysse can help achieve that contoured look. Whether aiming for a well-defined Cupid’s bow, symmetrical pout, or enhanced lip color and texture, Restylane Kysse can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

    Caption: Julia Masungsong, Cavite’s Reyna ng Turismo 2024 title holder, before and after getting Restylane Kysse.

    “My patients really like Restylane Kysse because of the contoured look it adds to the lips,” Dr. Foz says. “As Filipinos, our lips tend to be thinner. So, they want more plumpness and a more defined shape, with angles, to make the experience of putting on lipstick more fun.”

    5. Don’t take risks

    For lasting effects and an enjoyable lip filler journey, Dr. Foz recommends a few precautions. Stop smoking to avoid introducing harmful chemicals through injection openings.

    Dr. Foz explains, “Restylane Kysse for me is not just ideal; I think it’s the perfect lip filler because I trust the science behind it. They get the lips they want, and still look natural. I do request patients to stop smoking after getting their lip filler injection. Because of course, the small openings that happen when you inject, I don’t want the tar, the nicotine, the chemicals to go inside. Avoid infections.”

    Choosing the right filler and following these guidelines can help ensure a positive experience with lip enhancements. Restylane Kysse offers a reliable and natural-looking option to achieve your desired look.
