Belo Medical Group celebrates a new chapter in beauty and longevity

Guests celebrate the opening of Xiglo

Published Aug 21, 2026 10:44 am
Many of us now pay as much attention to how we feel as to how we look. Looking good still matters, of course. But so do sleeping well, having enough energy, managing stress, and taking care of ourselves as we age.

These were among the concerns that led Belo Medical Group to open Xiglo, its first aesthetics and wellness clinic. Dr. Vicki Belo welcomed friends, doctors, and colleagues when the clinic opened recently at 1 Proscenium in Rockwell.
Among the guests were Anne Curtis, Solenn Heussaff, Catriona Gray, Gabbi Garcia, Karylle Yuzon, Bianca Gonzalez, Bea Windorski, BJ Pascual, Bea Soriano, Martine Ho, Bianca Henares, Kiana Valenciano, Cristalle Belo-Pitt, Bubbles Paraiso, Mari Jasmine, and Mond Gutierrez. Also present were Dr. Hayden Kho Jr., Belo Medical Group CEO Gina Lorenzana, and longevity consultant Prof. Dr. Dominik Thor.
The event gave guests a look at Belo’s move into wellness and precision longevity, something the group had been studying for several years.
“We’ve wanted to move into longevity for a few years now,” said Belo. She explained that the group took its time researching the field and consulting experts before opening the clinic. “We really don’t do anything halfway.”

Visits to Xiglo are by appointment, with separate rooms for aesthetic treatments and wellness services. A personal concierge guides each client throughout the visit.
Precision longevity may sound like a complicated term, but the idea is simple. It looks at how each person is aging, taking into account medical history, lifestyle, test results, and personal goals. Doctors then prepare an individual plan instead of recommending the same program for everyone.
The clinic developed its program with Dr. Dominik Thor, president of the Geneva College of Longevity Science and Belo Medical Group’s longevity consultant. A visit starts with a consultation with a precision longevity physician. Diagnostic tests may then be recommended to establish the client’s baseline.
“We listened to our patients, and what they were asking for changed,” said Belo Medical Group chief executive officer Gina Lorenzana. “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.”
