I had been wondering how all those celebrities can have slimmer faces together with their already slim figures, when all the ordinary folk, try as they might and diet to death na talaga, still have chubby chin chins, sagging jowls, etc. It had only been recently that I found out about their "dirty little secret", which is not so secret anymore for the limited moneyed populace.
It's called face contouring. Yes, Tinseltown's gorgeous faces have been washed, scrubbed, treated, sometimes added (in case of nose jobs), poked, lifted and now, contoured. Generwlly speaking, in order to have a nice thinner/ well-defined face even before slabs of make-up, one has to have it "contoured". We have heard it on TV occasionally, but what is face contouring?
Gone are the days of liposuction, where one has to go under the knife in order to have a slimmer figure and sometimes a slimmer face to go with that said figure. The new trend is all about scalpel-free treatments called lipocavitation.
Lipocavitation is a procedure wherein the blobs of fat underneath our skin are blasted and melted by sonic waves (that's also why we hear a high-pitched but tolerable sound during the treatment). It can also be done with the rest of the body like the abdominal area for the love handles, the inner thighs and other problem areas. The advantage of the scalpel-free lipocavitation is that there is no recovery time. So there is no need to hide from the general public before emerging into a slimmer you. The skin underneath the treated area is also tighter and firmer.
I was lucky enough to have been invited by Dra. Arlene O'Santos of Beauty Runway to do a face contouring session. I was amazed at the instant results. She also mentioned that some of the celebs and models do this every week to achieve maximum results. Well of course, they have to look good on TV and print. If you're one of those people like me who are irritated because they couldn't get a good angle on pictures because of their slightly chubby faces (I'm guilty as charged, haha), then I suggest you go Beauty Runway to avail their promo of Face Contouring, Rejuvenation and Diamond Peel Package for only P1,000. I felt like I hit a jackpot with the promo because of the instant results that I got. The clinic of Beauty Runway is located in Casa Pura, behind St. Paul's Church in Timog Avenue, Quezon City.
