It appears that everyone is in the pursuit to live longer and better. Longevity, a word that is considered one of the biggest talking points in the world of wellness today, continues to rise globally — including in the Philippines. As the conversation about longevity science grows, more Filipinos are asking what longevity can mean for their own health, wellness, and even beauty, and how science can help optimize all three. It is a question The Belo Medical Group answers with XIGLO, its first aesthetics and wellness clinic.

XIGLO marks the beginning of the beauty pioneer’s next chapter. “Thirty six years ago, Dr. Victoria Belo, M.D. pioneered aesthetic medicine in the Philippines, advancing it at a time when it was unheard of among Filipinos. By trailblazing and democratizing the industry, the Belo Medical Group made Belo synonymous to beauty,” the group explains. Now, they are setting their sights beyond aesthetics, bringing wellness and precision longevity to Filipinos.
What is Longevity Science?
Longevity medicine is a healthcare discipline that prioritizes long-term biological health to preserve physical and mental vitality throughout life. But its evolving scope extends well beyond medicine alone. Dr. Dominik Thor, founder and president of the Geneva College of Longevity Science, explains how the field increasingly intersects with different aspects of modern life. “Longevity is understood in many contexts,” he says. “It involves multiple specialties beyond traditional medicine, including lifestyle intervention, psychology, and technology. It can also be applied in sectors such as hospitality, wellness, beauty, and the insurance industry.”
For Dr. Thor, while longevity science touches virtually every aspect of our lives, it provides us the agency to decide how we want to approach aging. “I would say when we start defining it, we should talk about the goals of longevity,” he says. ”The goal of longevity is never just the representation of the word, not just living longer. The idea is to live better, to give you the ability to really enjoy your life even as you grow older.“
This is something that The Belo Medical Group understands: that the approach to aesthetic medicine has evolved over time, with patients not just prioritizing how they look. Longevity is not about chasing youth. It is about aging better. And that is where XIGLO, the group’s first aesthetics and wellness clinic, stands at the forefront of: Outer Radiance Meets Inner Vitality.
Where Precision Longevity Meets Care and Expertise
The Belo Medical Group has long been at the vanguard of aesthetics. But XIGLO is a response to something deeper. “We listened to our patients, and what they were asking for changed,” says Gina Lorenzana, CEO of Belo Medical Group, “People still care about aesthetics, and we’re very good at that. But now they’re also concerned about what’s happening on the inside.”
What they heard went beyond the usual conversations surrounding beauty. Increasingly, patients were talking about sleep, perimenopause, menopause, overall health and wellness. This also centers on their pursuit of how they could simply feel better. Because what happens within the body inevitably finds its way to the surface. XIGLO is the group’s response to that.
However, the expansion into longevity was never going to happen overnight. XIGLO had been years in the making, a deliberate period of research and study before introducing it to the world. “We’ve wanted to move into longevity for a few years now, and the reason we did it only now is because we’ve been researching, we’ve been studying, and we really don’t do anything halfway,” says Dr. Vicki Belo, founder, chairwoman of the board, and chief medical advisor of Belo Medical Group. “We want to make sure that everything is science-based, so we’ve partnered with the experts on longevity.”
XIGLO’s clinical framework for precision longevity was developed alongside Dr. Dominik Thor, an internationally recognized authority in longevity and regenerative medicine, and founder and president of the Geneva College of Longevity Science, the world’s first higher-education institution dedicated exclusively to longevity science.
“It is always going to be ultra-personalized. You have to understand what the patient is made of: their genetic makeup, their epigenetic makeup, their history, their environment. Only then can you build the journey,” says Dr. Thor, “This is a long-term process, not a one-off treatment. It has to be built on scientific evidence, rooted in ethics and oversight. You are influencing the trajectory of a patient’s life.”
That degree of personalization, however, demands an equal degree of rigor. When asked what sets XIGLO apart, Dr. Thor answers “The ambition is to always be up to the latest science and evidence. It is where we stand in terms of safety and efficacy. It is about creating a structured, personalized plan that actually works, that is safe, and that is ethical. That mission is the one that really got me interested in teaming with the Belo Medical Group.”
It is this philosophy that sits at the core of XIGLO’s approach to holistic beauty: physician-led, science-backed, evidence-based, and highly personalized around the individual rather than a universal prescription.
Apart from the expertise of Dr. Thor, personalized treatment plans are also designed with a panel of specialists which includes sleep doctor Dr. Jimmy Chang, the current president of the Philippine Society of Sleep Medicine; OB-GYN Dr. Patricia Kiziler, a diplomate with the Philippine Obstetrics and Gynecological Society; orthopedic doctor Dr. JJ Pua, a member of the board of trustees of the Philippine Orthopaedic Association; urologist Dr. PJ Fernandez, the current chief of Cardinal Santos Medical Center’s Department of Surgery-Urology; and precision longevity specialist Dr. Rainier Mozo, the current president and CEO of Clearbridge Medical Philippines.
The XIGLO Experience
Located at 1 Proscenium in Rockwell, XIGLO translates its philosophy of precision longevity into a premium, private space which allows each patient to move through the experience with discretion and continuity. Alongside aesthetic treatment rooms is a dedicated wellness wing, while by-appointment-only access, private spaces, and a personal concierge guiding you throughout the entire process.
Here, Belo’s signature aesthetic treatments sit alongside therapies developed around broader concerns in health and wellness. These include the non-invasive Belo Genesis Lift, the intimate-care-focused Belo ExoBloom, and the Belo Body Reset program, as well as therapies addressing concerns such as poor sleep, chronic stress, low energy, difficulty focusing, weight management, aging skin, and women’s and men’s health.
But the XIGLO experience does not begin with a treatment. It begins with understanding the person. Each journey starts with a consultation with a precision longevity physician, where medical history, current concerns, and health goals are discussed. From there, diagnostic testing may be recommended to establish an individual baseline, which then informs a personalized plan developed with a panel of specialists.
Rather than treating longevity as a singular procedure, XIGLO positions it as an evolving relationship with one’s health: Every result is carefully discussed with the patient, while providing consistent monitoring and support.
Belo has always revolutionized the way Filipinos approach beauty. But with XIGLO, the group is now turning its attention inward and toward a future where looking well begins with being well.
