The Belo Medical Group founder shares a glimpse of the brand’s past, present and future while presenting a roster of must-have skincare this 2023

Despite ever-changing standards and trends, what most of us desire is to feel beautiful in our own skin. When Dr Victoria “Vicki” Belo opened her first aesthetics clinic in 1990, her foremost vision for the Belo Medical Group was already aligned with this singular, straightforward aspiration. “More than money and fame, my biggest reward is seeing people happy and confident in themselves,” shares the celebrity dermatologist. “I’ve been asked by many people close to me, when am I happiest? The answer is always when I’m in the clinic, treating patients. So that’s where I get my energy and passion in life from.”

Over three decades later, this vision continues to serve the multi-awarded Belo empire and cements its moniker as a dynamic force across the industry. Throughout its history, the Belo Medical Group has been known as a pioneer in both surgical and non-surgical breakthroughs, introducing the use of Botox, lasers and liposuction even when they were still taboo in the country. As such, it has always played a great part in transforming self-care into a culture by continuously offering the world’s latest treatments and technologies. More people now await or set the days when they can treat themselves at Belo’s state-of-the-art clinics, where world-class science and genuine service are harmoniously in sync to craft an inimitable form of luxury.

Dr Belo believes that true wellness transcends far deeper than the surface level. “People are understanding the connection of the brain and body, and how looking and feeling good actually go together. That’s also going to be the thrust for Belo Medical Group,” she beams. “I always want to think of Belo Medical Group as something that’s evolving and getting better. We have a lot of things that will make you not only look good but feel healthier and much better inside.”

Relaying how 2023 is a time of expansion for the group, she proudly announces the launch of new treatments like EmFace, a skin-tightening procedure that mirrors the renowned effects of the EmSculpt. Another upcoming highlight is a focus on exosomes, an influencer cell that engages the fibroblasts to create more collagen and elastin.

Underscoring this all, the Belo Medical Group takes pride its pool of committed doctors and clinic staff who share in Dr Belo’s inspiring mission. With conscientious care poured into its dedicated relationships with each patient, the acclaimed dermatological hub is consistently attuned to the needs of its patrons to support them in the best ways possible. “I think our clients can feel the love and that we really care about them,” Dr Belo happily muses. “I have a patient who has been with me since she was 16. I experienced her debut, her marriage. Now, her daughter’s 15. The journey of life continues and I feel like a part of everybody’s family.”

As the company continues to place its patrons’ needs in the spotlight this 2023, it has also curated two marvellous skincare pairings that bring the Belo experience to the comforts of one’s home. Founded by world-renowned innovator Dr Zein Obagi, ZO Skin Health’s ingenious creations are armed with medical-grade ingredients that assure infallible results while feeling utterly luxurious on the skin. 

Consisting of the ZO self-activating Vitamin C and dual-action sunscreen, the Glow + Shield Duo is simply perfect for our climate and environs in the country. As both protect against the sun, the solutions are respectively brightening and hydrating for a soft, smooth finish for every day. On the other hand, the Brighten + Mattify Duo is highly suitable for oily skin. It includes the ZO Oil Control Pads and ZO Exfoliating Cleanser, which both gently exfoliate the skin and decongest pores to reduce acne formation.

Ultimately, what these product pairings have in common is the instant pampering they effect the moment they are generously applied to the skin, almost like giving oneself a thorough facial. They also demonstrate the Belo Medical Group’s innovative and comprehensive approach to its long-standing purpose, which has always been rooted in helping every Filipino look and feel their most beautiful in every way possible.

If the last 32 years have proven anything, it’s that this simple yet powerful messaging by Dr Belo will only continue resounding through her eponymous bastion. Set to purvey innumerable premier treatments and products in the coming year and beyond, Belo remains at the forefront of beauty for all.
