<p>One of the positives the pandemic had was the birth of innovation when it comes to the convenience of home services. This is how it was for <strong>Dermobile</strong> <strong>Co-founder</strong>,<strong> Czarina Ledesma</strong>, who had to rethink ways on how to stay afloat, having been in the events industry that was immediately shut down during the global crisis. When she started putting on the “pandemic pounds” and felt a bit out of touch with herself, Czarina wanted to seek out professional help to get back in the pink of health. That’s when she started doing meso-lipo with physical therapy, and acupuncture in the comfort of her own home. Seeing the results, she thought it would be beneficial to others as well. With an entrepreneurial mind and a strong fighting spirit, she was able to conceive the idea of a doctor-driven mobile wellness clinic, Dermobile, which is also co-founded by her sister, <strong>Christina “Cheese” Ledesma-Ong</strong>.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/9217c976-289a-4343-a06b-230aa2fb2351_img_6842-2 copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Dermobile brings beauty and wellness right at your doorstep</span></span></span></div><p>Although many beauty salons and wellness centers have already been in the home service industry for years, what makes Dermobile set apart is the provision of accessibility of <strong>board-certified doctors </strong>when it comes to aesthetic treatments and procedures, plus the mobility of device-centric health check ups. “Our belief is healthcare should be done anywhere, and we want to be able to make it professional. The safety of the patient is the first thing we take care of. We want to be able to do affordable healthcare, and we achieve that by doing group packages. It’s perfect for the Filipino market since we are always with family, or like to do things with our <em>barkadas</em>. With our group packages, we’re able to make it more cost-efficient so everybody can enjoy it,” Czarina shared.</p><div><br/></div><p>As for credentials, Dermobile is the official aesthetics and wellness partner of The Medical City in Bonifacio Global City, providing expert skincare and beauty treatments for their patients. Not only do they have a hospital accreditation under their belt, Dermobile also partnered with Doctor Randi Ponciano, an Aesthetic Surgeon who graduated from the University of Asia and the Pacific, then later on, The Philippine Academy of Aesthetic Surgery. Today, he is also the Lead Aesthetic Surgeon at Beyond Aesthetics Clinic, where he practices his cosmetic surgery.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/d722152f-8fcb-4366-afd9-b80cc86e1cea_img_6874 copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Doctor Randi administering botox to a client </span></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/body/trifona-beauty-lounge-cebu/35834" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This Cebu-Based Salon Is Well-Loved By Discerning Beauty Fans</a></div><p>No wonder they have a growing clientele of momfluencers and celebrities, they also upgraded their menu not just with facials and drip treatments, but with non-surgical cosmetic enhancements, and device-powered skin tightening &amp; laser hair removal treatments as well. “At Dermobile, we’re all about the competence of cosmetic surgeons, and part of the team are board-certified dermatologists, so it’s the authority that comes to skincare, beauty and surgery that we prioritize, too,” Dr. Randi weighed in.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/0cb29a23-5cb8-4160-8855-723daa309954_20230628_150207(0) copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Dermobile brings their clinic to your home</span></span></span></div><p>I personally tried Dermobile and availed their <strong>Beauty &amp; Anti-Aging Boost Drip treatment</strong>, with a <strong>Lucy in the Sky facial </strong>and <strong>Sofwave face tightening treatment</strong>. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/5c9f5fea-a025-424a-9b6f-a21b5d890142_inshot_20230705_090617599 copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>I was impressed with the whole session! Not only are they very well-sanitized and organized, they also have the complete tools, equipment, and products needed for my beauty day. They instantly made my room a clinic! My facialist was pleasant and polite with gentle hands. She also often checked in on me to see if I was comfortable all throughout. The<strong> Lucy in the Sky facial</strong> includes a microdermabrasion peel for the face and neck, plus a collagen face mask. I opted for a <strong>Glow add-on</strong> which is the picking and extraction of blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/c0ebe064-c2ca-4082-a1ac-be878d78afa3_inshot_20230705_091002445.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><p>The <strong>Sofwave</strong> device delivers Synchronous Ultrasound Parallel Beam SUPERB technology, with pulses that penetrate the skin to tighten it all over. It aids in the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles, and for eyebrow, submental and neck lifting. It’s good for those who desire a more contoured look on the face and neck. It was absolutely pain-free, with visible results right after, which was highly satisfying for a 45-minute session. Before I started this treatment, my nurse also prepared me for my beauty and anti-aging cocktail drip to be more productive with my time.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/beauty/skincare/aivee-emface-trial-review/35625" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Editor Diaries: I Tried the Aivee Emface—Here&#x27;s What Happened!</a></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/82d69469-e80d-4c14-abf9-256375047705_inshot_20230705_090508788.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">A cocktail of beauty and wellness straight to my bloodstream</span></span></span></div><p>With more and more people choosing services to be done in the comfort of their own homes, Dermobile takes it up a notch with their frictionless and on-demand healthcare service offerings. Cheese gives us her insights: </p><div><br/></div><p>“Most executive check-ups can detect disease markers but don’t use progressive methods for preventive screening. In addition to the usual blood and urine tests, Dermobile’s Preventive Screening VIP home service package strives to detect any potential for illnesses such as strokes, aneurysms, certain types of cancer, heart attacks, kidney disease, osteoporosis before it [even] occurs so that lifestyle changes or medication can be already used if needed.</p><div><br/></div><p>For example, one of the tests performed by Dermobile at the comfort of your home is an ultrasound of your carotid arteries. The world renowned Cleveland Clinic states, ‘Using sound waves, a carotid ultrasound is a painless and safe way to check your carotid arteries―which supply your brain with blood―for narrow or blocked areas. With this information, your healthcare provider can decide whether you need lifestyle changes, medicines or a procedure to cut down your risk of a stroke’. </p><div><br/></div><p>The trite saying “prevention is always better than cure” may be cliché, but is undoubtedly true. Dermobile’s Preventive Screening VIP home service package includes several ultrasounds, blood and urine tests, doctors’ analysis and more. The investment of around PhP50,000 for the full package is well worth it because, indeed, health is wealth.”</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/775dea02-2815-46f2-be61-d78d33802ab4_img_7362.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Abdominal ultrasound is now more convenient with Dermobile</span></span></span></div><p>As for their best sellers, the botox and skincare treatments, weight management programs, and nose threads have become in demand for their beauty menu, while it’s the Game Changer Package for their health menu, which includes three sessions each of acupuncture, physical therapy, energy drip, and one session of either an athlete’s blood test or an abdominal ultrasound. Although they really push for group treatments to be more cost-efficient, they wouldn’t turn down individuals who want to avail the convenience their mobile clinic brings, but with a minimum rate. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/b9469bba-6e87-4da1-9b4a-cf64c5aaf617_img_6116 copy.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Bonding is more enjoyable when you get to take care of yourself, too</span></span></span></div><p>Filipinos love getting together over good food and <em>kwento</em>, but many are becoming wise with their time and money. With the traction Dermobile is getting these days, it’s proof that bonding can be made better when beauty and wellness are involved. As Czarina shared, “We don’t want to just focus on aesthetics. As we’re all progressing after the pandemic, health became top priority. With that, we want to expand beyond beauty.” There is indeed power in groups , and Dermobile further empowers consumers with the convenience and affordability of their high quality services beyond beauty.</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Dermobile is now available in Metro Manila.
