Michelle Dee blends her profound approach to beauty with Belo Medical Group's innovative treatments
Even if she was born into a family that already has a rich history in pageantry, Michelle Dee has carved out her own path in the beauty industry through her pursuit of excellence. She has demonstrated what it means to persevere, as evidenced by her winning the titles of Miss Universe Philippines in 2023 and Miss World Philippines in 2019.

As a pageant contestant, there is almost a cookie-cutter formula that makes one look beautiful. But on the contrary, Dee’s outlook on beauty is profound and deeply personal. For her, confidence is her anchor. This philosophy has seen her through different phases of her life from her early days in pageantry to acting and modeling. She is a firm believer in accepting each person's distinctive features and continuously working on bettering oneself. She emphasises, saying, "I don't waste time fostering things that make me feel weak; instead, I work every day to improve."

As she goes on to the new and upcoming chapters of her life, Dee continues to grab new opportunities by the reins. One of those is her ambassadorship for Thermage FLX by Belo Medical Group. Dee found this non-surgical treatment particularly useful during her time as Miss Universe especially when preparing for the contest in El Salvador. “What I love about Thermage is it already works with what God has given me. It’s just amplifying those things that I need a little help with. Working on those just gave me a boost in confidence” she shares.

This was achieved during her once-a-year session, which used advanced radiofrequency technology to tighten and contour her skin, creating a natural youthful glow, all without any downtime that other traditional treatments have; a must for her hectic schedule of preparation and training. However, her journey with the Belo Medical Group is more than just about beauty treatments; it’s also about the personalised care and expert advice she receives. The multi-faceted beauty queen receives consultations tailored to her specific needs and unbiased, medically-backed recommendations that put her health and safety first. On top of the non-invasive procedure done on her face and body, she also had other Belo Medical procedures such as the V-Contour, laser hair removal, and Emsculpt to name a few.

Beyond pageantry, for Dee, beauty and winning are about the importance of “moving and living with purpose.” Before passing on the title to the newest title holder, she reflects on her experiences and the values she holds dear. “The crown will always be a symbol of triumph. But win or lose, it’s the lives that you touched that really make a difference,” she remarks. As she moves forward from her pageant days, it definitely is obvious that for her, confidence is cultivated through her experiences while acknowledging her own imperfections and embracing the experiences that shape her.
