TV viewers get the Belo treatment

With two successful seasons on the Filipino Channel (TFC) tucked under its belt, the Belo Beauty 101, the 30-minute beauty and medical tele-magazine program, has branched out to free TV with a weekly show every Saturday morning, from 8:30 to 9:00 am on Studio 23.

Noted cosmetic surgeon Dr. Vicki Belo lives up to her tag as the “Philippine Ambassadress of Beauty” by being the show’s resident beauty and medical expert who introduces the Belo Clinic’s wide range of treatments and services.

The thematic episodes every week give viewers a peek into the world of cosmetic surgery, which Dr. Belo revolutionized for the past 18 years. From the glamorous side of beauty, the program captures even the unglamorous part with reality VTRs of the actual procedures done on celebrities and patients, documenting one’s complete transformation.

Celebrities who underwent specific procedures at the Belo clinic give testimonials on their cosmetic surgery experience—from Zsa-Zsa Padilla who endorses the non-surgical Pan-Germinal facial treatment for sagging skin, Lorna Tolentino who swears by the wonders of Frazxel to Ara Mina who does the Lipo Lite.

There are also beauty tourists who recount their actual treatments, citing why Belo is a premiere destination for medical tourism in the region.

Moreover, Belo Beauty 101 highlights the unique and beautiful locations in the country to entice more balikbayans to return to the Philippines.

Dr. Belo tries her hand at TV hosting for the first time and is joined by a male host in every episode—from Willie Revillame, Albert Martinez, Sam Milby, Piolo Pascual, Christian Bautista, John Lloyd Cruz, Christopher de Leon, Derek Ramsay, Troy Montero to Edu Manzano.
