For beauty & well-being
A-Institute is a new specialized holistic center that is going to change the landscape of beauty and wellness in the Philippines, if not in the entire region. The A-Institute, with Doctors Aivee and Z Teo at the helm, is everything one would want every medical institution to look and feel like — beautiful, luxurious, professional and relaxing.
The launch of the new institute brought together clients and fellows of what’s dubbed the “Aivee League” — Manila’s most discerning patients who attest to have become more beautiful inside and out.
The launch was hosted by long-time Aivee Leaguer, broadcast journalist and TV personality Karen Davila, who was joined by business tycoon Kevin Tan, Lino Cayetano, Tootsy Angara, Carla Abellana, Miss World 2013 Megan Young, KC Concepcion, Gretchen Barretto and Sen. Grace Poe in cutting the ribbon at the launch of A-Institute.
Aivee said, “Patients don’t want to feel like that they’re getting treated in a hospital. It makes sense that people would want to go to a place like the A- Institute where they get personalized treatments for their condition, but in a place that is not scary or intimidating. Instead ( it is) very comfortable ... very luxurious.”
An innovative addition to the successful Aivee Group, the A- I ushers in definitive, personalized care in f ive major laboratories: Aesthetic Surgery, Hair, Or tho sports, Snoring and Slimming. Each lab is led by a team of internationally trained and board-certified doctors who are pioneers in their fields.
Z added, “The A-Institute is completely different from ask in clinic. The requirements for surgery and specialized care are different, the needs of the patients are different. At the center, we give equal importance to quality and safety for a full range of services including surgery, post- surgery, therapy and complementing treatments at the labs.”
The 1,200- sq.- m. space also houses a café that serves healthy and delicious meals.
With this new institute at Burgos Circle in Taguig City, the Aivee Group reiterates what has long been happening across the world regarding the business of beauty — that it sees a deviation from traditional hospitals with specialized clinics and medical spas flourishing in the global market.
“The A-Institute is the first of its kind in the Philippines. It is a shift for people who want to do procedures and to come to a more specialized institution, rather than go to major hospitals where all other medical-related conditions are being treated,” Aivee added.
During the launch, food and drinks overflowed. It was such a fun and feel-good get-together.
