I always look forward to my monthly facials and visits to dermclinics; this time since May was all about mothers, as a mother of 3, I thought of treating myself to something new. As per advised by good friends, I visited Contours Advanced Face and Body Sculpting Institute conveniently located in Paseo de Magallanes commercial center.

I was impressed on how they  conceptualized the institute because it definitely does not look like a typical cosmetic surgery clinic. Had I not read fully the name of the institute I wouldn't even have the slightest idea that I stepped in to a surgical clinic.

The lobby or receiving area was calm and serene. Once registered they will then lead you to the adjacent waiting room enhanced once more with its modern classical design.

Definitely not the usual dark, cold and eerie clinics we usually go to. Don't get intimidated by its name, although they are a "body sculpting institute" whose forte lies in the areas of slimming and body contouring (either surgical or non-surgical) they also offer the dermatological services we meticulous ladies love.

As I was waiting for my facial and (the something "new" for me that I decided to try) diamond peel I was lucky enough to meet Dr. Claudine S. Roura, the brains behind Contours who out of concern asked me if everything was okay and made sure I was taken cared of.

I was pleasantly surprised, she not only has the brains, but this young and attractive Board-certified dermatologist is a graduate of University of Santo. Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, my alma matter and with her long list of medical achievements which includes being awarded the 2005 Walter de Groot Phlebology Fellowship, I knew instantly I was in good hands.

Because of her great passion in the art of body sculpturing she had undergone extensive training and is proud to say that she is the first and only cosmetic surgeon certified to do VASER High Definition Liposculpture in the Philippines. She was personally trained by Dr. John Millard of Colorado,, USA and Dr. Hoyos, the "Father of VASER Hi-Definition Liposculpturing".

I am not much of a fan of "liposuction" because first, I wince on the idea of being cut up open and second because of the horrifying stories that I've heard regarding this procedure that is why I couldn't help myself but ask what makes the VASER Hi-Def treatment different from the "traditional liposuction".

Have you ever wondered what happens after religiously going to the gym and miraculously surviving all the diet do's and don'ts and achieving your desired weight and still you haven't actually achieved your desired "drop dead gorgeous body".

To be more specific, as far back as I can remember, after having 3 kids, I have been doing all sorts of crunches just to have my old abdominals backs; the one which I can be proud to show off especially in the beach. I've been doing crunches practically all my life and still not satisfied, then this is where VASER Hi-Definition Liposculpturing comes in.

Dr. Roura said VASER is best suited for men and women who are generally healthy and fit. These are the people who desire a more sculpted appearance without having to go through  pumping iron until you reach a "hulk" like appearance, yet in the end still not having the desired body contour.

CONTOURS is home to cutting edge technology (Part 1)

A VASER center, offering High-Definition Liposculpture, a cutting-edge procedure that eclipses traditional cosmetic surgery methods, is now here in the Philippines. And Contours Advanced Face and Body Sculpting Institute is the only center in the Philippines that has this procedure, and is certified to perform it.

Contours is far from a typical cosmetic surgery clinic. Conceptualized in June 2008 with the objective of providing quality slimming service that brings real results, Contours is the brainchild of renowned cosmetic surgeon and dermatologist Claudine Roura, FPDS.

VASER TECHNOLOGY

VASER® Hi Def TM (VHD) is a body sculpting technique developed by plastic surgeons for men and women who are generally healthy and fit, but who desire a more sculpted, muscular appearance. The technique focuses on the precise removal of superficial and deep fat around muscle groups in order to enhance the visibility of the underlying musculature.

VASER Hi Def uses advanced liposuction techniques to selectively remove small deposits of fat surrounding specific muscle groups in order to enhance the visibility of the natural contours.

VHD was developed to create an athletic look in both men and women. It is not reserved for high-level fit people, but for normal people that desire to look the-best-ever.

Contours makes effective use of VHD in many of its cosmetic surgery procedures, letting it take the place of older, more traditional methods of liposuction and body shaping.

The Woman behind the vision

Dr. Claudine S. Roura is a Board-certified dermatologist and a Fellow of the Philippine Dermatological Society and the Philippine Academy of Cutaneous Surgery. A graduate of the University of Sto. Tomas Faculty of Medicine and Surgery, she completed her residency training in Dermatology at the Jose R. Reyes Memorial Medical Center.

She is the first and only cosmetic surgeon certified to do VASER High Definition Liposculpture in the Philippines. She was personally trained by Dr. John Millard of Colorado, USA and Dr. Alfredo Hoyos of Columbia. Dr. Hoyos, the "Father of VASER Hi-Definition Liposculpturing," conducted the training seminar for Dr. Roura last March 2008 in Bogota, Colombia through his Advanced Body Sculpting Institute based in Lone Tree, Colorado, USA.

THE ADVANCE liposuction technique that enhances the visibility of well-toned muscles has reached Philippine shores.

VASER High-Definition Liposculture targets men and women who would otherwise never have considered themselves in need of liposuction.

Because VASER High-Def was conceived to be a scuplting rather than a debulking technique, a person who has good muscle tone but does not have excessive amount of fat or lax skin is the perfect candidate for the procedure.

VASER High-Def is intended for generally fit men and women who seek greater visibility of their muscular detail. This makes the procedure a sensible adjucnt to a fitness program rather than a response to failure.

The highly advanced liposuction technique VASER High-Def uses removed small fat deposits around specific muscle groups to enhance the visibility muscle of the natural contours.

VASER High-Def is the brainchild of Colombian plastic surgeon Alfredo Hoyos, M.D.., widely touted as the "father of VASER high-definition liposculptuting."

It was under Mr. Hoyos's expert tutelage that Dr.Claudine S. Roura, FPDS, got her training in VASER High-Def, making her the first and onloy Filipino cosmetic surgeon trained and certified to perform the procedure.

With Ms. Roura at the helm, Contours Advanced Face and Body Sculpting Institute makes available to Filipinos VASER High-Definition Liposculpture that is proven as revolutionary as it is effective.

Just one of the numerous dermatological and cosmetic surgery services the clinic offers, the procedure eliminates the risks and complications normally associated with traditional liposuction. 

Contours is located at the 2nd floor of South Park Plaza, Paseo de Magallanes in Makati City. Appointments and inquiries may be made through 489-8526 or 0918-926-4468. E-mail drclaudine@rouradermsurgery.com or visist www.rouradermsurgery.com
