Dr. CRB Aesthetic
and Laser Clinic introduced another first in contouring and slimming, the liposonix
machine.
“We are introducing the new body machine, the liposonix,
the first in Cebu,” said Dr. Cecilia Ramos Bernal, the woman behind the Dr. CRB
brand, during the launch at Circa 1900 in Cebu City.
Bernal said
there are only four clinics that offer this “safe” slimming machine, and her
clinic in Cebu is among them.
For one
treatment in one hour, Bernal said the patient is guaranteed a one-cm smaller
in his her abdominal part, or where the treatment is focused.
She,
however, clarified that what they are offering is not weight loss, but a promise
to give their patient the body size they want. She said the results are “not as
fast as” that of liposuction but the procedure is “safer” as it is non-evasive.
The treatment
is available in Dr. CRB clinic in Cebu.
Bernal said
there are more Cebuanos who want to be slim but don’t want to go on a diet or
exercise. The liposonix, she said, will help them in that department. Although she
said the procedure will still require proper diet and some exercise for better
results.
“People
would want to be slim. And they don’t want the hassle of diet and exercise. But
same thing, you have to have a diet and exercise. They should go hand in hand,
there is no shortcut. You need to do a lot of work out,” she explained.
She said
some go for shortcuts, which could lead to injury or worse death, but with Dr.
CRB, they are “cautious” with their patients, especially those with diabetes or
other illness. She said they have to ask for their medical history for them at
Dr. CRB know if they qualify or not, then a medical clearance to ensure their safety.
“If it’s
surgical there’s always a risk, no matter how cautious. With this, we minimize
the risk. The results may not be as perfect as liposuction but it s the next best
thing,” she said, adding the worse thing the patients can get are bruises.
She said
most of their clients are Cebuanos and those living in Bohol, Masbate, Leyte
and neighboring provinces. The age brackets are between 20 and 60, with the
25-40 age bracket are the “more health conscious.”
“They’re
getting health conscious, aware. They want to look good on pictures. And there’s
no time to exercise, so they come to us,” she said.
The liposonix
is approved by the Food and Drugs Administration.
Meanwhile,
Dr. CRB also launched its new line of sunblock products: the gel for the oily
skin (anti-bacterial, moisturizing, anti-aging, cooling) with SPF 45. It is
used for the face. The other sunblock product of Dr. CRB is the lotion, which is
designed for the face and the body.
“This is
for everyday use. Even if you stay at home, there are many lights at home which
are as harmful as the sun,” said Bernal.
She said
even if summer is over, it is still important to use sunblock, especially that
anyone can have skin cancer because of sun exposure.
“Cancer
usually occurs in the face or head, as it is more exposed to the sun. The
consciousness of the sunblock is to decrease cancer. Using it should be part of
the routine,” she said.
Dr. CRB
was established in Cebu in 2003. It now has five branches (the Dr. CRB and
Skinplicity clinics), one in Manila and four in Cebu.
