Kizuna Aesthetic Center by Dr. Select opens its first Skincare and beauty clinic in the Philippines last November 24, 2019, at Basement 2 of Robinson’s Galleria Cebu.

With their tagline “Kizuna: Your Bond with Beauty,” the 200-square meter aesthetic center is owned by Japanese plastic surgeon Dr. Kentaro Ono in partnership with Dr. Hope Valerie Solano, a certified dermatologist and a diplomate of the Philippine Dermatological Society (PDS).

Despite the popping of skincare and beauty clinics in Cebu, Kizuna Aesthetic Center is confident that they can penetrate the Cebu market as they offer new and advance Japanese technology in its machines and services.

“Cebuanos can expect that our ingredients and medical solutions are of high quality and advance technology from Japan. We hired a Japanese aesthetician to give everyone the same techniques used by our sister company Fujieda Skin Clinic,” Solano said.

Kizuna Aesthetic Center By Dr. Select is offering new and advanced Japanese technology in its machines and services and that’s what sets them apart from all the other beauty clinics.

 Dr. Solano and Moie Fujimoto, who is a certified aesthetician in Japan, are the mainstays at Kizuna Aesthetic Center By Dr. Select. Both of them have been sent to Japan for formal training on the technologies they use in the center.

 The Mediline Radiofrequency is the most advanced multipolar, non-surgical wrinkle reduction, facial rejuvenation, and body contouring of Kizuna Aesthetic Center By Dr. Select. This machine melts fats and cellulites, stimulates collagen, and tightens loose skin.

 On the other hand, the Ultimate Facial Aqua Medication consists of different features that include water peeling which cleans the pores and removes blackheads; carbonic acid facial which exfoliates skin and improves skin oxygen levels, and makes skin brighter with a more uniform tone.

The radiofrequency contours and firms the face for glowing and tight skin while the electroporation infuses serum with the choice of anti-aging, whitening, and anti-acne.

The Japanese Ceremony Kagami Biraki is the practice of drinking the Japanese sake that were offered to Gods. Kagami Biraki is the ceremony to get the power from the gods to drink the ceremonial sake to live happily.
 

The other services include laser hair removal; botox; hyaluronic acid fillers; mesotherapy; injectables of glutathione, placenta and Vitamin C; chemical peels; cauterization of warts; acne scar treatments; pimple treatments; skin cancer detection; and consultation for skin, hair, scalp, hair fall and nail problems.

 “The Cebuano market is very discriminating and value-conscious of the services and the quality of treatments. They are more conscious that it is important to seek advice from a certified doctor under the Philippine Dermatological Society,” Dr. Solano said about the local market.

GIVING BACK TO CEBU

Dr. Solano and Dr. Ono first met in 2016 through a common friend. Since then, they started sharing techniques and Dr. Ono and his consultants also introduced Dr. Select Beauty Products.

Dr. Select prides itself in always discovering the most advanced technology that makes healthy skin in the medical beauty industry. 

As of now, more than 10,000 beauty salons, clinics, and companies are using Dr. Select products in Japan alone. 

But aside from that, they also have customers in China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Russia, USA, and Australia, among others. 

Last April 2019, Dr. Solano was invited to see all the aesthetic clinics in Japan that was associated with the Japanese consultants, and that was when they proposed to open one in Cebu.

It was a no-brainer for them to choose Cebu since Dr. Ono’s personal advocacy is to reach out to Cebuanos and share his knowledge and expertise.

Back in the 1980s, Dr. Ono was an exchange student at the Sacred Heart for Boys High School and stayed for a year in Cebu.

In fact, the word “Kizuna” actually means “connection” or “bond between the Japanese and Filipino.”

Kizuna Aesthetic Center By Dr. Select is also the exclusive distributor of Dr. Select Products which can be purchased at the Center with advice from their dermatologist.

Beginning her career as a Photojournalist at The Freeman Newspaper/Philippine Star from 2000 to 2007, she then served as an Accounts Manager from 2007 to 2008. Driven by a passion for sports, she transitioned to a Sportswriter role at CDN and expanded into news writing for Inquirer Visayas.
