Beauty Treatments have been on the rise because more and more people (including men) have been consciously making an effort to be aesthetically pleasing to one's eye. Gone are the days that you have to go under the knife just to get the instant results you want. With the advancement of technology, the rise of Radio Frequency and Laser treatments are one of the known treatments to address pressing beauty concerns with less downtime, non-evasive and instant results.


Clarence Dermatology Center is one of the beauty clinics that specializes in anti-aging, slimming, and other dermatological issues. They've been up and running since 2009, personally managed by dermatologist Dra. Joan Clarence Morallo.

I remember 3 years ago, I went to their clinic to try their Lipo-Cavitation treatment for me to achieve that bikini-ready body. They started by offering basic facials, diamond peels, RF and Lipo-Cavitation. Now, Clarence have moved to a bigger location offering a wide range of treatments to cater different beauty concerns utilizing the most advance technology.


Recently, they invited me as they launch of 2 of their newest machines, the Cynosure Palomar Icon and the Alma Beauty Reform Machine. These two machines have the most advanced laser technology that delivers instant results with almost no downtime.



Cynosure Palomar Icon machine uses fractional laser technology that targets stretchmarks and scar discoloration, while stimulating the production of new collagen for an improved smoothness. Here are some of the things that the ICON machine can address:

• Facial vessel and pigment clearance
• Surgical and acne scar treatment
• Stretch mark treatment
• Wrinkle reduction
• Leg vein clearance
• Permanent hair reduction

Alma Beauty Reform Machine is mainly used for contouring and tightening of the face and body. The equipment uses two of the advanced technology in redio-frequency, the Unipolar™ technology uses dielectric heating – focused and powerful heating – a unique technology that transmits high radiofrequency energy directly to the targeted tissue via a single electrode; and the high power NIR (Near Infrared Technology) which achieves safe and effective deep-dermal heating to the tissue which contracts existing fibers, stimulates the formation of new collagen and improves its alignment and thickness while providing a youthful glow.

The Alma Beauty Reform Machine can effectively deliver the following results:

• Reduces fat layer volume
• Smoothens out cellulite
• Re collagen lifts and tightens
• Comfortable treatment, zero downtime

I was in luck because I was able to try the Alma Beauty Reform Machine for Face Contouring. Check out the video for my experience:



Overall, I was happy! It immediately minimized my double chin and the fats around my neck. My face is no longer rounded as the lower cheek area decreased in size. It made my chin a bit prominent, which never ever happened before. No more chubby rounded cheeks!

These treatments are a bit expensive than the typical laser treatments because it delivers results with minimal sessions. Laser treatments to remove hair typically requires 10-12 sessions for semi-permanent results. With the ICON machine, it will just require you 4-5 sessions. Clarence Dermatology Center is committed to providing a welcoming and educational experience for each patient. I can't wait to go back and try their Revlite Treatment!
