#AlexReviews: Pampering Weekend at Montesa Medical Group – The Manila Hotel Clinic

Reaching the age is 40 a milestone and cursed at the same time. Milestone because by this time you’ve already managed to set your expectations and has a good control on your emotion over things that you don’t have full control. Cursed because by this age you are feeling the weight of the world, figuratively and literally. Your muscles start to hurt quickly, you’re having a hard time managing your weight, worst your physical features starts to show the hardships of life. This doesn’t mean you’re losing the game, it’s just that your priority has changed and most of it are for the people around that you hold dear so much.


I attended my cousin’s wedding recently, and though, I’m really happy for them, I can’t help but to think – what is waiting for single gay guys like me out there? I mean, I do have a stable job, small but reliable friends, a family that continues to support my decisions, and an environment who accepts me – but what about love, right? It was during this mental discourse that I’m reminded of the saying: “You can’t give out love, if you don’t have it.” I know I am loved by the people around me, but sometimes I can help to ask, do I really love myself?


The previous year was a tough one, that’s why I told myself in order to move forward this 2025, I’ll keep doing the things that makes me happy, content and loved. From learning new things, discovering new places, meeting new people, and perhaps, pampering myself – I’ll just do my thing, because just like everyone else, we must love ourselves.

 
A few days back, I was invited to check out the newest branch of Montesa Medical Group (MMG) at The Manila Hotel. Located right at the heart of the city, Montesa Medical Group specializes in advanced dermatology and age management services. With it two well-established branches in Quezon City and Makati City, Montesa expanded its footprint to cater to a wider market that requires advance, non-invasive treatments, and personalized skincare regimens in Manila City.

 
Montesa Medical Group at The Manila Hotel doesn’t require prior booking for consultation and treatment for now, but I highly suggest that you call them before going to set a schedule with Dr. Anna Marie Montesa, President, CEO and Founder of MMG. I was fortunate to meet her during my visit and learn something about her, how she sees MMG and how she usually handles her customers. MMG has been in the business for quite sometime now, and Dr. Anna makes sure that each visit of their customer will be worthwhile as they provide the most utmost treatment they need.

Consultation prior to each treatment is part of their protocol, and during my consultation with Dr. Anna she offered me to undergo Pore Minimizing Treatment as well as their latest innovation, the Exilis Ultra 360. With my growing concern over my darkening undereye, sagging double chin and widening skin pores, these treatments offered by Montesa will help me combat aging without any pain and downtime, and hopefully diminishes the marks of the hard past.

After my quick consultation with Dr. Anna, her team immediately led me to my treatment room where I had the most careful yet pampering session. I believed they caught me twice or thrice snoring because of the super relaxing treatment that I had. Take note, the Pore Minimizing treatment uses a liquid medicine that might pinch my skin if not thoroughly washed away. The dermatologist assigned to me professionally and carefully managed all the required steps to achieve this glowing outcome that I really love that afternoon. I was told that if I continue having this treatment, say 4 to 5 more times, I’ll definitely achieve my goal of minimizing my open pores as well as lessening the dark marks under my eye. I was seriously happy with this initial result that I highly recommends to everyone.

 
I took a quick wash room break after my first treatment, and when I returned, my next treatment is ready for me - Exilis Ultra 360.

For those who are looking for non-invasive skin tightening solutions, the Exilis Ultra is the latest innovation that aesthetic centers in the metro offers now - and Montessa Medical Group at The Manila Hotel offers this procedure.

This was my first time ever to try this kind of procedure, and what made me try it is the fact that targets the deeper layers of the skin with precision, stimulating collagen production to enhance skin firmness and elasticity. So, if you are looking for an effective yet pain-free skin-tightening treatment, Exilis Ultra 360 might be the best solution for it now.

The procedure lasted for only 30 minutes, where it combines monopolar radiofrequency and targeted ultrasound, allowing for precise and effective treatment of the skin. It's like having a facial massage targeting unwanted fats or sagging skin. I was told that this procedure is okay with any type of skin and provides an immediate and visible effect to our face. Let me share here the before and after treatment:


The Exilis Ultra 360 can also be used in other parts of our body including neck, abdomen, thighs and arms, with minimal to none discomfort or downtime, which I would surely love to have again and again.
