Sofitel Manila Hotel unveils aesthetic institute Vietura
POSTED 08 Mar 2013 . BY Aoife Dowling
Sofitel Philippines Plaza Manila has teamed up with a host of wellness experts to open a new health and aesthetic institute.

The new Vietura Aesthetic Lifestyle Institute combines aesthetic procedures with integrative medicine and lifestyle coaching. It aims to provide complete approach to health and wellness that enables guests to achieve a holistic balance in life.

The facility offers 100 per cent non-invasive procedures along with gradual progressive treatments.

Leading Vietura's team of experts is Dr. Mary Jane Torres - a certified expert in Aesthetic Medicine, specializing lipotherapy, non- surgical facial contouring and body sculpting.

Key treatments include natural facelift and contour, body sculpting with weight management, anti-aging therapy, longevity, skin vitality, the art of detox and dental cosmetics.

Nutritional counselling programmes, cosmetic dentistry and life coaching are all on offer to guests.

Signature treatments include Ultra Slim Tight - this is a non-invasive treatment that uses a combination of infrared technology, radio frequency and endermology to melt fat, even out skin tone and tighten skin.

Skin procedures include Dermapoint, which aims to increase the levels of collagen and elastin to smooth, exfoliate and soften lines, acne scaring and pigmentation.

A highlight of Vietura are the living, vertical gardens spread out over the walls of the centre, releasing fresh oxygen into every room.

Designed by Gruppo Espazio, the gardens were created to give a rainforest-like atmosphere and are accompanied by soft lighting and soothing music to complete the sensory experience.
