ICONS
For Nails: EXTRAORDINAIL Nail Art Design
Ever since the Extraordinail Salon and Skin Care was established in 2014, it has helped elevate our local world of nail art. The salon specializes in luxurious manicure and pedicure treatments, using only the finest quality products and done by highly-skilled professional technicians. They make any nail design—from embellishments, intricate patterns, to 3-D embossments—a reality. Best of all, their nail art procedure also helps keep the nails strong and healthy for up to four weeks without chipping, peeling, or discoloration.
For Body Contouring: BELO Medical Group Belo Onda Coolwaves™ Plus
Looking for a treatment that will tone and get rid of fats and cellulites permanently without going under the knife? This Belo-exclusive non-surgical body reshaping system has got you covered—from your abdomen, thighs, and hips. Using selective microwaves called “Coolwaves,” the treatment targets fat cells, cellulite, and skin laxity. Belo also took the innovation a step further by upgrading the headpiece so it can simultaneously conduct a drainage massage to help expel excess liquids from the body.
For Skin Tightening and Lifting: MERZ AESTHETICS Ultherapy®
Despite the latest advancements in the aesthetics industry, Ultherapy still stands uncontested as the gold standard of non-invasive face lifting. What makes it unique is that it gives the skin a much-needed collagen boost and natural lift without changing one’s features. Furthermore, it ensures the patient’s safety since Ultherapy-trained doctors can directly see target tissue layers in real-time during the procedure. This enables them to direct the energy to where it’s most beneficial without disrupting the skin’s surface.
For Skin Brightening: THE AIVEE CLINIC Shining Bright Laser
Leave it to the Aivee Clinic when it comes to bringing out the skin’s full potential to glow. One of their popular treatments, the Aivee Shining Bright has become a cult-favorite for three main reasons: the procedure only takes 15-to-30 minutes max; it has no downtime, and gives instant results. We can vet that these are all true. The non-invasive laser treatment uses Copper Bromide technology that instantly gives a brightening effect. This comes alongside the Fast Edge Micropulse (FEM) technology, which prevents excess melanin production and enhances collagen production. After just one session, your skin is left with an undeniable luminosity.
BREAKTHROUGHS
For Body Detox: AVIGNON CLINIC Vital Dome
One of the most soothing ways to keep your body in tip-top shape, the Avignon Vital Domes not only provides a holistic way for the body to recover from injuries and relieve stress, but it also helps burn fats and calories. Inside the dome, black carbon panels will surround the body to deliver Far Infrared Rays (FIRS), which will elevate the core temperature of the body without the risk of burning the skin. This will then enable the body to sweat out toxins and other impurities as you simply lay there and relax.
For Reducing Fine Lines and Wrinkles: SOFWAVE
Described as a “point and shoot device,” the Sofwave is the latest innovation in collagen-stimulating technology that has received outstanding feedback since its launch. Sofwave is an almost pain-free, 30-minute, no-downtime procedure. By heating the skin tissue at the right depth and temperature, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, as well as tighten mild jowling and loose skin. It is also one of the rare few that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared to lift eyebrows, under the chin, and the neck.
For Muscle Building: EMSCULPT NEO
The original Emsculpt—the gym cheat treatment that celebrities swear by—has upped the ante when it comes to muscle building. Instead of just using non-invasive high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology (this induces the body in doing 20,000 crunches), the new Emsculpt Neo also uses radio frequency to strengthen and build muscles while simultaneously burning fat. Talk about maximum payoff with minimum effort.
For Eyelash Extensions: NEW LOUNGE Icon Lashes
With a loyal clientele that includes A-list celebrities and notable names in the industry like Heart Evangelista and Bryanboy, New Lounge has become one of the most sought-after salons in the Philippines that offer eyelash extensions. Their latest original offering, the ICON lash design, allows you to achieve a very dramatic, glamorous look without the lashes physically weighing your eyelids down. Through the strategic placing of shorter faux lash sizes towards the outer parts of the eyes, it mimics a sexier and more defined eye shape that you would normally get from doing a cat-eye.
The MEGA Beauty Awards 2022: New Classics is also found in MEGA’s October issue now available in Readly, Magzter, Press Reader, and Zinio.
