Non-surgical procedures in Salamat Dok

MANILA, Philippines - On ABS-CBN’s Salamat Dok tomorrow, non-surgical rejuvenating procedures are being featured. They are also the best answers to treat common skin flaws like acne, wrinkles, warts and birthmarks.

Belo Medical Group (BMG) associate physician Johanna Christina Muñoz will discuss details of the procedures of Thermage, Fractional Micro-Needling and Regenlite for the enlightenment of the public as she shares her knowledge of them through years of experience working for the clientele of BMG.

Thermage employs a patented radio-frequency (RF) technology called ThermaCool using a sophisticated treatment tip called ThermaTip, which delivers a controlled amount of RF energy. The ThermaTip device uniformly heats a large volume of collagen in the deeper layers of the skin.

Fractional Micro-Needling stimulates the body to produce new collagen, thus inducing skin tightening and improving skin texture. It may be done on any part of the face, neck or body.

Regenlite is a laser treatment which provides fast, effective treatment for all grades of acne vulgaris and vascular problems (like warts, spider veins, birthmarks). It is also widely used for skin rejuvenation as well.

BMG also offers other solutions — LED/Ray of Inara, Double Cleaning, Modified Acne Kit and the ZO 3-Step Peel — to the persistent acne problem.

LED/Ray of Inara, a non-invasive, non-ablative light therapy, is a new technology based on narrowband Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), developed after 12 years of extensive medical research. Inara stimulates cells a thermally without causing damage to the epidermis or dermal tissue. Therefore, there is no downtime for patients nor unwanted side effects.

Double Cleaning is the same procedure as Belo’s normal cleaning treatment. The only difference is it is more thorough that even other oil depositsis being extracted and it takes around two hours to do the treatment. 

The Modified Acne Kit is also a popular choice. It consists of the following products: Glycolic soap, Acne Astringent, DLC Peeling Cream, and the Acne Drying Cream.

The ZO 3-Step Peel is a potent stimulating peel that confers longer lasting benefits beyond the temporary superficial improvements seen with ordinary peels. Peeling is very mild or even unnoticeable, with minimal to no downtime. It is designed for acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, texture roughness, large pores, and dullness. It promotes softer, smoother skin.
