AS the sands of time flow inexorably, our bodies undergo subtle yet relentless transformations. Collagen, the natural fountain of youth bestowing elasticity and youthful radiance to our skin, embarks on a slow, unyielding retreat, typically commencing its subtle departure in the mid-20s to early 30s. This gradual process leaves in its wake thinning, parched skin and the unwelcome emergence of fine lines and wrinkles — telltale signs of aging.
In this battle against the march of time, Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovation, a revered sanctuary of dermatological excellence in the Philippines, introduces the elixir of youth — Sculptra. Sculptra, an FDA-approved poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) collagen stimulator, is a marvel designed to address the very root cause of aging by rejuvenating the deep-seated structural integrity of the skin.
For those grappling with the lamentable symptoms of collagen depletion — thinning skin, persistent dryness, and the unsightly lines of aging — Sculptra emerges as a beacon of hope, rewriting the aging narrative.
In the relentless pursuit of eternal youth, it becomes paramount to delve into the underlying mechanisms of aging and tackle them at their core. Collagen-infused creams and oral supplements, while venerated as anti-aging solutions, often fall short, addressing surface symptoms rather than the root cause. Sculptra, however, offers an alternative avenue to target the fundamental origins of aging, promising enduring and transformative results.
Sculptra is a revolutionary treatment method where PLLA microparticles are precisely injected into the skin’s matrix to stimulate collagen production.
The biocompatible and biodegradable substance seamlessly integrates into the body’s natural processes. Its elegant mechanism triggers the resurgence of collagen, orchestrating the restoration of facial volume and gradual smoothing of wrinkles and folds. Patients embarking on this transformative journey with Sculptra can anticipate remarkable skin quality enhancement lasting up to two years, providing an alternative to countering time’s march.
Luminisce proudly incorporates Sculptra into its expansive repertoire of age-defying treatments, solidifying its position as a beacon of holistic skincare. Dr. Kaycee Reyes, the visionary founder of Luminisce, now offers this cutting-edge treatment at all clinic branches in Alabang, Bonifacio Global City, and Ortigas. This latest addition seamlessly complements the clinic’s suite of holistic treatments.
Studies affirm Sculptra as an effective PLLA filler for restoring facial volume, yielding high treatment efficacy and patient satisfaction rates. Research delves into Sculptra’s effects on collagen synthesis and potential adverse effects, all reinforcing its well-tolerated nature with minimal adverse effects. One systematic review lauds Sculptra as an excellent choice for midface volume enhancement, boasting long-lasting results and high patient satisfaction. While Sculptra shines in rejuvenation, further research is warranted to explore its potential applications and compare its effectiveness with other dermal fillers.
In the realm of wellness, Reyes stands as a paragon of expertise and dedication. Her global educational journey, from medical studies at the University of Sto. Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, on to completing a diploma in Dermatology from King’s College and a master of Science in Clinical Dermatology from St. John’s Institute of Dermatology at Guy’s and St. Thomas Hospital in London, attests to her commitment to excellence. Her recent achievement of a Master of Science in Preventive and Regenerative Medicine at Dresden International University in Germany further underscores her dedication.
Reyes’ international experience, including visits to the National Skin Centre in Singapore and the University of Ramathibodi Hospital — Mahidol University in Bangkok, Thailand, has enriched her expertise in lasers and Complementary and Alternative Medicine. An advocate for wellness, she has made significant inroads in wellness care, focusing on wellness and acupuncture at the Traditional Medicine Clinic of the Philippine General Hospital.
Notably, her accolade in Preventive Medicine sets her apart as an internationally accredited practitioner specializing in Well-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Driven by her unwavering passion for beauty and wellness, Reyes consistently attends international conferences to ensure her patients have access to the latest techniques and technologies in non-invasive aesthetic and aesthetic dermatology. She firmly believes in the power of a bespoke, individualized approach to managing skin and weight concerns, emphasizing its effectiveness in patient care.
In her pursuit of health and wellness advocacy in the Philippines, Reyes previously helmed the ‘ALAGA KA’ project, a local initiative revitalizing underprivileged communities by renovating their barangay health centers and enhancing staff training. Her mission remains unwavering: to educate, inspire, and empower individuals to lead happier, healthier lives by promoting essential lifestyle changes.
The ethos of Luminisce centers around the concept of holistic beauty. It harmoniously blends cutting-edge treatments featuring the latest aesthetic technology with time-honored practices in preventive and regenerative medicine. Luminisce empowers its cherished patrons to discover and embrace their fullest potential for beauty, both inside and out.
