look Good, Feel Good inside

More than just vanity, taking care of how you look helps boost confidence and improve your performance at work.
IF indeed you’re a certified “mouse potato” (the new slang word for computer addict), you probably have ran across an article by blogger David Zinczenko, who has dominated Yahoo searches with his take on the “mysteries of the sexes.” In the survey he did for his book, Men, Love & Sex, it showed that nine out of 10 men are not satisfied with their appearance and that they would change one particular part of their body given the chance.
“Both men and women need to look good. Looking good does not necessarily translate to vanity, rather awareness of one’s physical attributes that can be improved or enhanced,” Institut Santre medical director Dr. Maria Suzanne L. Datuin says with conviction. “And why not? It gives you increased self-confidence and pride to interact with people whether it be in the workplace, at a reunion, or a family gathering.”
Looking good also makes a person feel good all the time. In fact, it is part and parcel of the overall health and wellness that everybody should adopt to live life to the fullest. Beyond exuding physical beauty, it also helps convey an image of confidence, discipline and wholeness. And superficial as it may sound, one’s appearance creates that proverbial “first impression” that lasts.
“Looking good reinforces whatever message you want to deliver. If you cannot look good and take care of yourself, how will others expect you to do the same for them?” asks Datuin. “Looking good means being on top of the situation and having the discipline to succeed in your career. This goes without neglecting the other aspect of life such as personal needs, health and wellness. Hence, a good-looking healthy man is a productive man.”
So where do you go to achieve that?

“At the Institut Santre, of course,” Dr. Datuin answers quickly. “It is a private sanctuary both for men and women, who want to passively slim down and improve their overall health and well-being. We offer a full arsenal of treatments to jumpstart your body into achieving a slimmer healthier form or to complement your existing activities to attain a trimmer physique. We have an array of patented programs that we individualize according to our client’s goals.”
A one-stop shop, Institut Santre offers a wide range of services that address weight- and inch-loss as well as skin care.

For instance, its patented Omnivital Therapy System brings together the best of Western and Eastern technologies. This signature fat- and inch-loss treatment program uses specialized equipment and manual techniques to melt away unwanted fat while increasing the body’s metabolism.
The Omnivital Lymphatics Course, meanwhile, helps improve the body’s lymphatic flow and ultimately the body’s cleansing process. It lessens fluid retention, enhances circulation and aids in detoxification. This program caters to clients who want health maintenance and not weight loss.
The Omnivital Fortified Program is best for spot fat loss and body sculpting. The center employs several methods—alone or in combination—that address stubborn areas such as double chins, the fat around the bra area, belly and thighs. This involves micro-injections of medical-grade carbon dioxide or a signature blend of fat-melting formulas, plus radiofrequency to melt the fat and tighten the overlying skin.
An array of dermatological services is also offered at Institut Santre. This includes chemical peels to exfoliate the skin and infuse nutrients and antioxidants; Botox injections to relax facial muscles, giving one a well-rested appearance; and skin filling of deep lines and creases to soften one’s features or to give fullness and emphasis where needed. Improvement of old acne scars and increased skin plumpness can also be achieved using fractionalized skin needling. Other services include warts removal, skin whitening injections, diamond peel, as well as relaxing and cleansing facials. All the dermatological services are performed by a board-certified dermatologist.

What sets Institut Santre apart from other similar centers out there are its noninvasive slimming programs—each tailor-made according to the needs of the client to achieve a leaner, healthier body.

Furthermore, its services are proven safe and effective. In fact, after body analysis and consultation with the center’s lifestyle consultant, a thorough medical history is taken to define any special medical conditions that clients may have. Treatments are then customized according to the client’s health status and progress is monitored by the medical director.
The noninvasive nature of treatments is also a plus factor that differentiates Insitut Santre from its competitors. To ensure safety, all the equipment are top-of-the-line and undergo preventive maintenance to ensure the best treatment outcomes possible.

“Here at Institut Santre, we are proud that we have a very good success rate while putting a high premium on confidentiality of our clients’ identities. A class of its own, our facilities are world class and our equipment are state-of-the-art. Our staff is well trained to deliver the full arsenal of Santre’s signature treatments with utmost care and professionalism. What’s more, it is where you will find that our services are all reasonably priced so you will truly get your money’s worth,” stresses Dr. Datuin.
