Le Parisiene Duo-Lift: A Parisian Facial Like No Other

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Recently featured in the Savoir Faire Lifestyle column of Mayenne Carmona in the Philippine Star is Beverly Hills 6750’s newest pampering facial treatment — the Le Parisiene Duo-Lift Facial.

Using the Advance Derma Method (ADM) of combining multiple technologies in one treatment, the Le Parisiene Duo-Lift Facial combines vibratory soft peeling, ultrasound massage and stimulation, luminology (photodynamic light therapy) and vacuum drainage massage (called “Palper Rouler”). Together with the technology is the use of proprietary French cosmeceuticals for each specific phase of the facial treatment. The results are instantaneous skin clarity, tightening and a youthful refreshed glow and look!

Step by step treatment is as follows:

• Ultra-vibrating spatula together with proprietary cleansing-peeling solution (soft peel) ensures deep cleansing of the skin of impurities, pollution and dead cells’
• Ultrasound massage treatment initiates a bio-stimulatory effect on the skin’s natural processes of cell regeneration.
• Vacuum “Palper Rouler” massage allows for lymphatic drainage of excess fluids and toxins in the skin.
• Luminology treatment uses photodynamic skin stimulation that address skin inflammation, skin pigmentation and skin repair.

These procedures in turn are coupled with proprietary French cosmeceuticals that are cleansing, anti-aging, whitening and regenerating.

Disease Susceptibility Gene Testing: Get A Grip on Controlling Future Illness

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

While no one can control the future, a sense of control of future events is a known feature of what possibly can make a person happy and content.

Akin to this line of thinking, in the realm of wellness and preventive medicine, it’s been a fantasy to be able to know one’s future disease predilection so that preventive measures can be taken to possibly modify the disease’s manifestation …a fantasy until now! Now, one can take control! The Disease Susceptibility Gene Test is now available at Beverly Hills 6750!

Gene testing now allows an individual to know his susceptibility to more than 100 disease conditions. Medical research and science indicate that while most diseases are determined by BOTH genetic constitution and various environmental factors, getting a heads-up on one’s disease susceptibility through gene testing can impact on how one manages one’s nutrition, weight, exposure to detrimental environmental substances and conditions and clinical decision- making.

An international laboratory that participated in the Human Genome Project —Genetic Center Company Limited is in the forefront of entrepreneurial genomics. With the completion of the human genome sequence, its derivative ramifications in increasing knowledge of DNA sequence differences between individuals, and rapidly advancing technology for reading DNA sequences have further led to significant progress in identifying genes that underlie common, genetically complex diseases (“susceptibility genes”).

Below are FAQ’s on the Disease Susceptibility Gene Test:

1. What is a Disease Susceptibility Gene? The research results of modern medical science indicate that most diseases are determined by various environmental factors and genetic constitution. Genes related to some diseases that bring about health disadvantage are called the susceptibility gene of the disease.

2. What is a Disease Susceptibility Gene Test (DSGT)? Disease susceptibility gene is detected from tissue samples, either blood or exfoliated cells of the mucosal lining of the mouth. Using gene biochip technology, DNA analysis is done and derivative information on what potential diseases people may have inherited are determined. This information allows one to understand their own genetic information and the risk of physical illness, and proactively improve their living environment, nutrition and lifestyle habits.

3. How is tissue sample obtained? This is done by using 2 cotton pledgets that are simply swabbed across the lining of the mouth — one for the left side and one for the right side. These are then smeared and stored in a special collection tray device. After proper sample labeling, these are then shipped out to an international laboratory.

3. What information can Disease Susceptibility Gene Testing tell you? If you carry disease susceptible genes, the likelihood of developing this disease is higher than other people. One can then initiate preventive measures — for example, improved nutrition, adjusting lifestyle habits to avoid harmful environmental factors that may trigger disease manifestation, and going for periodic medical examinations. Studies have shown that even if you have the disease susceptibility gene, so long as early detection and early prevention measures are done, then it may be possible to delay or avoid the occurrence of the disease.

4. What is the difference between Disease Susceptibility Gene Test (DSGT) and Conventional Genetic Tests done in Hospitals? The Disease Susceptibility Gene Test (DSGT) is done to analyze the presence or absence of genetic risk of a specific disease and to predict the possibility of future illness. The conventional genetic tests done in hospitals are usually chromosomal analyses that diagnose and confirm a condition that is already present in the patient e.g. Down’s Syndrome.

5. How does the company protect the privacy of my genetic testing? All of the clients information, DNA samples and test results are kept strictly confidential. DNA samples that are collected are properly stored and labeled using an advanced barcode system before sending the sample to our Genetic Testing Laboratory overseas for gene biochip technology analysis. Our scientists will have access to only the DNA samples with its corresponding bar-code label on it. All documents, reports and samples can only be identified through the matching of the barcode.

Cosmelan® Depigmentation Treatment Promo: A Smashing Success!

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

Just a few days into Beverly Hills 6750’s promo for the Cosmelan® Depigmentation Treatment and already clients are lining up at its doorsteps to take advantage of the latest Wow Promo — Lowest Price in Town. At P25,000, it’s understandable why there’s a frenzy!

Skin hyperpigmentation, also called melasma, is often caused by sun exposure, hormones or your genetic background. Some types of hyperpigmentation will disappear naturally, but for many people, discolored patches and spots can last for years or even a lifetime. Many dermatologists admit that this is one of the most difficult skin problems to treat. But now, we have a game-changer — enter the Cosmelan® Depigmentation Treatment!

The Cosmelan® Depigmentation Treatment Protocol was developed by the Spanish company Mesoestetic®. It works by reducing the amount of melanin in the skin and treats blemishes and dark skin spots even for those who have the most sensitive skin types, quickly reducing the appearance of skin discolorations by up to 95%.

The Cosmelan® Treatment process is completed in two steps. First, Cosmelan 1 cream is applied by a dermatologist during your visit at Beverly Hills 6750. This cream is applied evenly to the face, with additional cream spread over spots and blemishes. After the cream has dried to form a mask on your face, you will be able to return home. At home, you will need to leave the cream on your face for between four to eight hours, depending on the dermatologists’ instructions (based on your skin complexion). Within a few days, the active ingredients in the Cosmelan 1 cream, including azelaic, kojic, phytic and ascorbic acids, arbutine and titanium dioxide, will begin to gently peel away top layers of skin, revealing layers that are more evenly pigmented.

You control the second treatment phase, which maintains your results and continues to lighten your skin. Each day, after washing your face with a mild cleanser, you will apply Cosmelan 2 and Hydravital Factor K cream to the treatment area using light, circular motions. Cosmelan 2 is a maintenance cream that uses titanium dioxide along with kojic acid, phytic acid and ascorbic acid to remove darkened skin as it forms, while the Hydravital Factor K cream moisturizes your face and neck skin during treatment.

It is important that you follow your treatment instructions carefully, and avoid using any other facial creams or skin lightening products. You will follow up with our dermatologist about 2 weeks after your first treatment and again about 4 weeks after.

While Cosmelan® lightens dark skin spots, they may return if you do not continue to take proper care of your skin. For instance, patients still must wear SPF 40 or higher sunscreen whenever they travel outdoors, to minimize the reappearance of melasma. Also, to avoid adverse results, patients must not combine Cosmelan® with any other skin depigmentation treatment. Once treatment is complete, patients are able to enjoy a more luminous, radiant and consistent skin tone.

Lifestyle Asia on Suzette Hahn-Lopez: “Falling Into Place”

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

Suzette Hahn-Lopez balances her life as a wife, mother and general manager of Beverly Hills 6750

By Sydney C. Go

Photography by Cyrus Panganiban

Suzette Hahn-Lopez enters Beverly Hills 6750 with a brisk step. The staff greets her with warm smiles and apparent respect. The inherent sophistication serves her well and is lauded as general manager of Beverly Hills 6750. Suzette was deeply involved previously in the garment industry before taking on the challenge of managing a major player in the beauty industry.

The aesthetic clinic opened in 2006 and she has given herself to the job with characteristic vibrancy and passion. Suzette engages her team towards the goals the company has set.

Even in her fast paced life, family remains a priority. Husband Manuel Luis Tantoco Lopez or Manny is her pillar of strength. Having been married for 17 years, she smiles at the mere mention of him, “He is the wind beneath my wings, I am lucky I don’t need to prepare anything for my husband’s necessities. He does everything on his own.”

The youngest daughter of Alfred and Letty Hahn, who is half German and half Filipino by parentage, grew up knowing life’s finest things. The Hahns were the sole distributors of BMW in the Philippines for 40 years. Recently, their family was given German citizenship, with a salute to her forebears’ role in the Holocaust. “We are all Filipinos at heart and by choice.” She says. “It was our sister Ruth who spearheaded this so that we were all given German citizenship”

Theirs is a close-knit family of strong personalities. Suzette speaks highly on her siblings and parents, especially. She credits their father for instilling in them a love for the Philippines. They do, however, share a collective penchant for traveling and try to go on trips together. We’re lucky because our side of the family likes to travel.” Her mother said that traveling is the best education. She was fresh out of high school at St. Paul’s College in Quezon City when the family packed up for a tree-month holiday to Europe. There she soaked up the culture and memorable experiences before returning to pursue her degree at the Assumption.

One ability she developed well was being able to strike a balance in life. It is particularly important now that she has a family of her own and a career happening at the same time. She also has other advocacies which are integrated into her work. Suzette is currently involved in a feeding program which she does two times a week. “With all the blessings I have, I want to give back in my small way. The clinic is also involved with Operation Smile. “A person who values her privacy highly, she will however make a pitch for the causes she believes in. “Recently, I have been thinking of joining PAWS, for animals, “she adds, “If they will have me.”

A Day in the Life of Suzette

5 AM Suzette’s alarm goes off and she snoozes for another 15 minutes. “I proceed to do my morning prayers. I brush my teeth then leisurely read my messages on my mobile.”

5:15 AM The mother of three wakes the children up for school. “Since it takes them another 30 minutes to rise and shine, I lay down beside their bed and snooze a bit, “she says.

5:35 AM She takes her three shih tzu’s out for their morning walk. “Sadly this is my only form of exercise as of now,” she admits

6:00 AM Suzette takes her first cup of cappuccino with cinnamon, cream and sugar. Then she calls her office and checks if all surgery procedures are in place.

6:30 AM It’s family breakfast time and the hands-on mom checks on her children’s schedules for the day and sees them off to three different schools.

8 AM Suzette is off to the feeding center in a very casual attire. They distribute food and she says that seeing children’s faces light up is enough to give her energy for the day.

8:50 AM She gets ready for work, which includes a Kératase ritual.

9 AM While sipping freshly squeezed orange juice, Suzette’s hair dresser comes in to give a quick blow dry. She does her own make up and gives instructions to the household staff on their daily chores.

9:30 AM It is quality time with her husband; Manny drives her to the office where they chat on the way.

10:30 AM The general manager of Beverly Hills 6750 has a motivational meeting with the team. Suzette supervises them each individual’s performance.

11 AM Suzette attends to meetings and check sales reports. “I check our competitors’ promos and prices and I make sure Beverly Hills 6750 is cheaper than our direct competitors at all times.”

1 PM Suzette meets up and consults with clients. She squeezes in a 30-minute lunch of Gambaretti at Cibo.

4:30 PM After a full day of meetings, she goes for a treatment. “I recharge by going for the Refirme Skin Tightening Procedure.”

5 PM With renewed energy, Suzette visits patients in the OR, making sure they are well attended.

6 PM While the day is winding down, she reviews operational records, reports and projected sales. “I end the work hour by reading and answering emails that have piled up.”

8 PM Tonight, she and Manny have a dinner date before hanging out with friends sipping the: best margaritas” at Manila Polo Club.

10:30 PM Finally at home, Suzette enjoys peace and quiet time to read papers in the kitchen over a glass of red wine. She and her husband discuss weekend plans. They plan to spend Sunday lunch with her in-laws and then dinner with her parents at a restaurant.

11:30 PM She indulges in a long hot bath, which she looks forward to at the end of each day.

12 MN She watches late night news and tries to squeeze in at least two chapters of a book.

12:45 AM Suzette says her prayers and is off to bed.

Beverly Hills 6750: New Decade Aesthetics

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

from 100 Magazine

Nowadays, people are getting more and more interested in embracing a healthy lifestyle and improving one’s well-being. Men and women are enthusiastic about anti-aging measures, or those that would improve their physical features. For Filipinos, the enhancement of one’s appearance is most definitely about making each individual feel better inside and out.

The campaign for Medical Tourism in the Philippines was formally launched last January 2006 by [then] Health Secretary Francisco Duque, and [former] President Gloria Arroyo, all for the aim of advertising  medical excellence and innovation in the Philippines. The components of the program include medical, surgical and dental care, traditional and alternative health care, health and wellness, long-term tourism and the establishment of international retirement and medical zones.

The brightest prospect for medical tourism success however, would be that of “aesthetics”, which includes cosmetic surgery, aesthetic dermatology, and cosmetic dentistry.  And leading the Philippines in this field is a medical group and facility called Beverly Hills 6750 Multi-Specialty Aesthetic Institute.

Beverly Hills 6750 has mastered in the following procedures: aesthetic plastic surgery, aesthetic dermatology, cosmetic dentistry, cosmetic gynecology, medically-supervised weight loss programs, weight loss surgery (bariatric) and state-of-the-art treatment of varicose veins. It boasts of world-class technology and facilities with high-caliber medical professionals and staff who focus on delivery of quality results, patient safety, personalized service, and innovation. Beverly Hills 6750 aims to be at the forefront when it comes to the standard and level of advanced aesthetic services in the Philippines.

The plastic surgeons at BH 6750 are known for their innovation in certain procedures, like the Hybrid Rhinoplasty, which is an “open technique” wherein the nasal tip is cartilage and the bridge implant (if needed) is made of medical grade silicone or Gore-tex material. They also offer the All Natural Rhinoplasty, wherein all graft materials, for both the tip and the nasal bridge are taken from ear cartilage, thus making it “all natural”. They are also promoting their Ultimate Face Tightening Procedure, a combination of Thermage treatment, followed 2 weeks later by Syneron E-Max’s ST-Refirme skin tightening protocol. This combination of two technologies has shown superior results compared to when the treatments are done individually, resulting in a non-surgical facelift! With these talented surgeons and world class technologies, you can be assured that you will be well taken care of, and that you will get your desired results at Beverly Hills 6750.

Hot offerings: 1) Fraxel Re:Store Laser (Reliant) -procedure for skin re-surfacing. 2) Comet Laser (Syneron) for hair reduction -provides optimal hair reduction of all hair colors on all skin types, including tanned skin; 3) Hydroxygen Jet Peel Facial Rejuvenation – a stream of pure oxygen is used, resulting in skin exfoliation, moisturization and an overall radiant skin. 4) Gynesthetics Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation (LVR®) – effectively decreases the internal and external vaginal diameters and strengthens the perineal body. It is designed to enhance sexual gratification. 5)  BH-Venolaser (using a DIOMED Laser) – addresses varicose veins where a laser fiber is inserted into the big vein and is ablated with laser energy. After one to two weeks, 90% of the superficial varicosities would have disappeared.

Other services: 1) A wide range of dental services that includes both general and cosmetic dentistry, including the latest orthodontic treatment called the Invisalign; and 2) Comprehensive weight loss programs and bariatric solutions that form a spectrum of treatment options to manage difficult weight loss cases.

Study Shows How Soft Tissue Filler Restylane Works

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

Soft tissue fillers are quite popularly used by both dermatologists and plastic surgeons as injections into the skin, to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plump lips, fill hollow cheeks, repair various facial imperfections, improve scars, and elevate deep folds. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal “downtime” and maximum safety.

There are a variety of soft tissue fillers, including human and bovine (cattle) collagen, hyaluronic acid, autologous fat (one’s own fat), and donor tissue. The growing number of available fillers has greatly expanded the anti-aging and skin-saving treatments, and since soft tissue filler substances do not involve major surgery and are generally cost-effective, men and women are using these youth-enhancing techniques more than ever.

One such filler that has acquired wide acceptance and usage is Restylane™ — a product containing hyaluronic acid.

It has been thought that Restylane’s physical volume caused the improvement in the appearance of one’s skin. In a study published in the journal/ Archives of Dermatology, it has been found that Restylane™ actually works by stretching fibroblasts — the cells in the skin that make collagen, in a way that causes the skin to create new collagen. This new, natural collagen would then contribute to the reduction of the appearance of creases and wrinkles. The study also shows that the product seems to inhibit the breakdown of existing collagen.

In young people, fibroblasts are stretched, and this produces enough collagen to make the skin appear relatively smooth. As people age, the fibroblasts become relaxed and do not stretch as easily, and therefore do not release as much collagen, causing creases and wrinkles to appear.

The findings of the study are based on injections in 11 volunteers, ages 64 to 84 years, and the subsequent analyses of their skin biopsies.

With the injection of Restylane™ in this study, the relaxed fibroblasts were re-stretched, says lead author Dr. Frank Wang, research fellow with the Department of Dermatology. In a sense, this stretching encourages the fibroblasts to behave in the way they do in younger skin and to release collagen.

Another factor is that in older skin, an enzyme called collagenase breaks down the collagen in the skin. The research found that injection of the dermal filler inhibits the breakdown of collagen by collagenase, which also helps with the appearance of one’s skin.

Beverly Hills 6750: Upholding the Name of Beauty

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Beverly Hills 6750 Multi-Specialty Aesthetic Institute, also known as Beverly Hills 6750,  is a name that calls to mind the luxury aesthetic surgery centers of Hollywood fame. A brand used by  the Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Institute (BHCSI), Beverly Hills 6750 has gained a reputation of offering premium cosmetic procedures performed by board-certified top-notch surgeons, dentists, dermatologists and anesthesiologists using the latest in  medical technology. Beverly Hills 6750’s tagline, “Beauty for Everyone” promises competitive and reasonably-priced cosmetic services with excellent results.

Unfortunately, Beverly Hills 6750’s success has resulted in certain individuals and entities to use the Beverly Hills brand, thereby creating confusion in the minds of the public.

In 2008, a rival local aesthetic center, the Beverly Hills Medical Group (BHMG), came under fire from the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after Beverly Hills Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Institute filed a case with the SEC contending that BHMG’s name created confusion among Beverly Hills 6750’s clientele.

The Commission ordered that BHMG change or modify its name to remove the “Beverly Hills” label, to which BHMG responded with an appeal, averring that confusion is unlikely to occur. The SEC dismissed the appeal for lack of merit, and pointed out that Beverly Hills 6750 acquired a prior right to the name by virtue of its earlier date of incorporation in 2005. As stated in the SEC En Banc Decision, “the mantle of protection is afforded a corporation, which is the prior registrant, as opposed a subsequent registrant”.

Though the SEC ruling directed BHMG to change or modify its name, the clinic continues to operate using the “Beverly Hills” label, offering several aesthetic services similar to those of Beverly Hills 6750.

In a recent interview, Beverly Hills 6750 Managing Director Dr. Eduardo Santos said, “We are currently pursuing other legal remedies to stop BHMG from using the Beverly Hills name, to the detriment of the Beverly Hills 6750 clientele and  in keeping with the SEC’s En Banc decision and  order.“

Notwithstanding this distraction, Beverly Hills 6750 Multi-Specialty Aesthetic Institute continues to provide peerless excellence in its diversified specialties: aesthetic plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, dermatology, cosmetic gynecology, peripheral vascular laser surgery and weight loss management.

In the growing global industry of health, beauty, and wellness, the Institute banks on its tradition of building partnerships with its clients based on trust and professionalism – living up to and exceeding the expectations of its Beverly Hills name.

The full text of the Securities and Exchange Commission decision, dated October 2009, may be found HERE.
