Beauty Break : CUTERA Treats Bloggers to Premium Face and Body Laser Treatment

Tweet

On women's beautification adventures and in the interest of science, most women nowadays have tried a variety of health and beauty treatments that I have heard and seen demonstrated on TV. 

Laser treatments can be used for a range of issues: from hair removal and ageing skin to acne scars and unsightly veins. Because of the wide-ranging benefits, laser is becoming increasingly popular. 

You’ve probably heard about these treatments, too: laser hair removal, vein eraser and cellulite-reduction treatment. For me, big questions always are: Are they safe? Do the treatments work? How uncomfortable are they? Are the results lasting? Are they affordable? 

CUTERA, the preferred laser treatment brand of top beauty doctors here and abroad invited some beauty and lifestyle bloggers for a “Beauty Break” that allowed them to experience the CUTERA difference in face and body aesthetics. 

Beauty and Lifestyle bloggers experience "Beauty Break" on October 5, 2016 held at Aruga Hotel by Rockwell, Waterfront Drive, Rockwell Center, Makati City.

The event showcased not just the premium quality of the CUTERA face and body laser treatment but also triggered the company’s call for better awareness of the public when availing of laser treatment services. 

“CUTERA is a premium brand of face and body treatment from the US, engineered and designed to provide instant results and guarantees a safe and non-invasive procedure,” Liz Endrinal, Head of Therapeutic Sales of Cutera Philippines, said.

CUTERA Philippines has a formidable lineup of laser treatment machine that addresses the following face and body concerns:

• Enlighten that helps erase and lighten benign pigmented lesions such as melasma and sun spots. It is also the Cutera power machine for effective tattoo removal

• Excel V is the Cutera machine that takes away ages of your face as well as addresses leg veins, freckles and brown spots 

• The Cutera XEO machine provides instant results versus inflammatory acne, brown spots for elderly people, leg and facial veins, angiomas and rosacea or the diffused redness on the face

• Cutera’s truSculpt machine employs the stamp motion in deep tissue healing that delivers effective fat reduction. 

• Titan is the go-to Cutera machine for natural lifting, skin tightening and skin laxity 

Exquisitely Engineered, Efficiency Delivered

With skin, body, and facial treatments that have emerged largely in the Metro, it is anxious for us to easily trust clinics and even the process itself. 

CUTERA remains loyal to define the forefront of medical aesthetics with devices exquisitely engineered to deliver the highest level of performance, safety, and efficacy—providing a wide range of Face and Body medical aesthetic applications, with results that drive patient satisfaction, and inspire trust to medical aesthetic practitioners in the Philippines. 

CUTERA, officially distributed in the Philippines by MEDEV Medical Devices Corp., continues to emerge in the Philippine face and body healthcare industry with top caliber names such as the Dr. Aivee Medical Clinic, Nisce Skin N’ Face Clinic, Belo Medical Group, Makati Medical Center, Asian Hospital, DLSU Medical Center, Skin and Cancer Foundation, among others.

“With CUTERA and the partnered clinics present in the Philippines, we make sure that our equipment promise and deliver results, justified by our growing “CUTERA Cult” that have seen these specific results,” Endrinal said. 

CUTERA also proudly shared that the government hospital, East Avenue Medical Center, is now equipped with a CUTERA XEO multi-platform machine with pearl fractional that immediately resolves problems on acne and box type scars and resurfacing of the affected facial area.

CUTERA has also penetrated Baguio, Davao and Bicol with the installation of CUTERA XEO laser treatment machines in specialized clinic in each of the said provinces.

`Say no to refurbished machines’ 

CUTERA also used the opportunity to reinforce their call against second hand and refurbished laser treatment machines that pose a great risk to patient’s safety.

“There are a lot of horror stories that involved 2^nd hand and refurbished laser treatment machines, the most common of which are burns and blisters.  That is why we have been espousing and promoting patient education by choosing only brand new laser treatment machines of CUTERA to ensure their safety and to guarantee instant and effective results,” Endrinal affirmed.

She adds that 2^nd hand and refurbished laser treatment machines are not regularly calibrated as it is supposed to, thus, preventing it from emitting the required laser energy to treat patients.  

“That is why if you stumble on a clinic that offers laser treatment machine at an unbelievably cheap rate, be very scared. Either you won’t get the results that you want or worse, you will get hurt in the process,” Endrinal adds.

Edward Benosa video to beat strong contenders at Star Awards

Tweet

Looking at the PMPC Star Awards for Music’s line-up for this year’s Best Music Video category, one gets the conclusion that it is loaded with established singing stars, a famous actor, and a relatively new, yet fast-rising artist. The last is Edward Benosa whose music video for his third and latest single “Puso Kong Ito” was nominated alongside entries from the likes of Juris, Sam Concepcion, Vice Ganda, and Rivermaya.

The video, directed by the highly touted Carlo Obispo, is hard not to recognize, especially for its scenic images and carefully edited shots. It surely helped that Obispo is into high-grade film-making, giving the video that short film touch instead of just plain music clip.

It features a charming ballet dancer from Ballet Manila and projects Ed’s boy-next-door charm to the fore. The pop ballad, written by Vincent Velasquez, complements the video like creamer to coffee.

“It’s one of my favorite songs I recorded so far because I feel there’s something unique about it,” shared Edward who at the moment is also rehearsing for a musical he will be in called Mula Sa Buwan, slated to be staged in Ateneo University grounds this December.

Edward, first seen by the public as a StarStruck hopeful and later, that remarkable face at The Voice’s blind auditions, has quickly developed a strong fan base owing to his string of good releases and memorable exposures. His debut hit “Di Man Lang Nagpaalam” gave him a grand entrance of sort, while tracks like Iingatan Ko, Sa Piling Mo, and Paglisan strengthened his hold for that fast-growing lot of fans. In fact he already has an official Facebook account nicely named Ed Benosa Loyal Supporters.

Big thanks also to the support of his manager and collaborator, actor Arnold Reyes, who is himself a success story in the music scene almost by the snap of a finger. One time he thought of writing a song, joined Himig Handog and Levi Celerio songwriting contests, and both placed high enough to get everyone’s attention. He penned or helped for most of Edward’s songs.

In referring to his talent, Arnold directly stated, “I took him in kasi grabe ang vocal range niya. May puso siya kumanta, very emotional.”

Edward will be releasing his second album by February next year.

Last April, Edward delivered a 25th birthday concert for his fans at the Teatrino in Greenhills. That show was a proof he certainly deserved the Best New Male Recording Artist citation from Star Awards in 2015. The concert was called “Most Requested” in reference to his hit first single “Di Man Lang Nagpaalam”. He has been an in-demand act since.

His versions of Carol Banawa’s “Stay” and The Script’s “Breakeven” showcase his versatility as a singer, one of his strengths.

Edward has good words for the kind of great support he gets from fans and friends, “Ang sarap ng pakiramdam when you have supporters who truly care about you because they like you and your songs.”

Edward’s quick rise may be attributed to his determination to prove he could contribute. His next step is taking in acting jobs to see what he can do as an actor. He is set to appear in a film titled Bubog wherein he will play a policeman. 

Showbiz fans are likely to use the term gwapulis for him as it can be recalled that Sarah Geronimo expressed regret, albeit in a cute way, for not turning her chair during Edward’s blind audition. Looks is always a plus for this half-Spanish mestizo, but he puts up a lot of work to complement that well with talent.

The Puso Kong Ito music video is made possible by Dannon Clothing. Edward Benosa’s steady rise to the top is largely a doing of his deep passion and care for audiences.
