For Doctors Aivee and Z Teo, the fields of dermatology, aesthetics, and cosmetics have always gone beyond skin deep
Since the first Aivee Clinic opened in Burgos Circle, Fort Bonifacio in 2009, the dermatological and aesthetic name has been associated with revolutionising a once-sterile industry with innovative programmes and a holistic treatment experience that best embodies the concept of wellness.
Their flagship clinic, overlooking a verdant park, looks more like a Parisian chateau than medical establishment. With its white walls, marble floors, soft lighting, and artwork, the Aivee Clinic advocates an aesthetic that is ultimately aligned with the Teos’ medical philosophy. Instead of wards, one finds carpeted suites. The only visible signs that this is a clinic are the IV drip holders in the newly-opened drip lounge, a salon-like space for fast-acting treatments.
This thrust towards spacious, luxe interiors is no passing gimmick. The couple remains cognizant of the developments in the medical field; one emerging paradigm, particularly among aestheticians and dermatologists, is the connection of overall wellness with skin health.
