Sharon Cuneta’s Awe-inspiring Transformative Journey

Article (news)

<p>Contrary to what one might think (considering that she is an industry virtuoso), the recently held ABS-CBN Ball was actually Megastar <strong>Sharon Cuneta</strong>’s first time attending the major event. A few days before she stepped on the red carpet, Sharon got candid on an Instagram post, saying that this ball debut is long overdue, but she’s happy that her best self is finally attending the ball. </p><p>“On April 4, I am attending the ABS-CBN BALL for the first time, ever. I was always invited, but could never come because I didn’t feel like it. I was always so fat. Nothing wrong with that per se, but I just never felt like my best self. So now that I do, am joining my Kapamilya!!! Finally!!! Yehey!!! Thank You Lord!!!🙏🏻💖🥰”</p><p><strong></strong>Sharon Cuneta is a woman who needs no introductions. The Filipina actress and singer is an icon to generations. She is highly regarded as one of the Philippine entertainment industry’s living legends, a veteran known for her movies like <em>Caregiver</em>, <em>Crying Ladies</em>, <em>Maging Sino Ka Man</em>, <em>Bituing Walang Ningning</em>,<em> Magkapatid,</em> <em>BFF: Best Friends Forever</em>, just to name a few. She’s been honored with multiple FAMAS, MMFF, and <em></em>Awit<em></em> Awards throughout her decades-spanning career in show business. </p><p>After playing countless memorable characters, Sharon may have taken the toughest role she&#x27;s committed to yet—one that took her nine years to prepare for: the best version of Sharon. 2016 was the year she decided she wanted to start her weight-loss journey. But this time around, she wanted to take it slowly but surely. This isn’t Sharon’s first rodeo when it comes to trimming down. Her wanting to take the long but kinder route and putting in the work is a result of her previous experiences with resorting to crash diet fads that were ultimately not good for her in the long run.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-12" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DIBLSF-yE9j/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A12%2C%22os%22%3A12575622.899999976%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="879" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-12" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br id="isPasted"/></div><p>Now, just a year shy of her diamond age, the Megastar looks radiant in every way. Overshadowing naysayers who question her transformation, saying that it felt like an overnight ordeal, she has inspired so many with her journey. One of the major factors of her 106 lbs. weight loss was working closely with longtime doctor-turned-friends <strong>Dr. Aivee</strong> and <strong>Dr. Z Teo,</strong> and collaborating on a holistic plan for her face and body goals.</p><p>In a YouTube video with Dr. Aivee, uploaded on March 29, 2025, titled “Aivee Day with Sharon: Fit, Fab &amp; Glowing at 59,” Sharon shared that she has been an Aivee Leaguer for 13 years now, and when they were beginning her weight loss treatments, she started with a 44-inch waistline.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hwJuvPMVGSE?si=VCifiIBZyYq5a3s7" title="YouTube video player" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><div><br/></div><p>She also revealed in the video that her husband’s supportive words aided her in deciding to stop putting it off and just start. “Life is so short! Before, remember I would say, yeah, even if I lose weight this year, next year, I’ll be what, 40 <em>na</em>. Then, Kiko told me one day, ‘You’ll still be thinner than now. You’ll feel better!‘ <em>Oo nga noh.</em> So, I’m 59, I’m happy!”</p><p>In addition, the actress also mentioned that she is happy that her journey has encouraged people who are the same age as her to start their wellness journeys as well. “[Maybe what] made me lose all this weight at this age, because there are too many inspirational people who are younger, for that generation. I think, now at 59, it’s nice that people see—I get comments like ‘I’m so inspired’— and I’m saying, it’s never too late. ‘Cuz I had a comment, ‘I’ll be 61 soon.’ You know it’s okay! You can do it. I’m rooting for you!”</p><p>As for Dr. Aivee’s pov, she says the secret to her friend Sharon’s weight loss is her dedication to their goal. “When people ask me, ‘How come Shawie looks really good?’ I say, you know what, the trick is being consistent. For the past 13 years, one thing I have to say about Shawie is her discipline and consistency to come and do her treatments. Once a month! At least <em>ha</em>!”</p><p>In an exclusive with Aivee Clinic, the team behind Sharon’s transformation gave <strong>Metro</strong> a comprehensive breakdown of their holistic plan for her weight loss journey, citing the specific treatments she got for her face and body to support the transformation and what each of them does. The team shared, “Sharon Cuneta’s inspiring transformation was achieved through a carefully curated combination of non-invasive face and body treatments at The Aivee Clinic. Each treatment was chosen to enhance natural results while ensuring comfort, safety, and no downtime.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKkFQfsxqbk/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=864&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A429840.9000000004%2C%22ls%22%3A2786.800000000745%2C%22le%22%3A3327.0999999996275%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="880" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><strong>For Face Tightening and Lifting:</strong></div><p>• Endolift – A cutting-edge laser-based treatment that stimulates collagen production and gently tightens sagging skin, particularly around the jawline and lower face.</p><p>• Ulthera Prime – A non-surgical ultrasound procedure that lifts and firms deep layers of the skin, promoting a natural lifting effect over time.</p><p>• Thermage – Uses radiofrequency energy to smooth, tighten, and contour the skin by stimulating the body’s own collagen.</p><p>• Sofwave – Delivers ultrasound energy to the mid-dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin, targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity with precision.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>For Body Shaping:</strong></div><p>• Vixen – A non-invasive body contouring treatment that combines multiple technologies to reduce fat, tighten skin, and shape the body.</p><p>• Emsculpt – Uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to tone muscles and burn fat simultaneously, ideal for sculpting the abdomen, arms, and thighs.</p><div><br/></div><p>Even though they played a huge role in her transformation, the plan didn’t stop at lasers and machines. The Aivee Clinic also gave Sharon lifestyle support. They share, “Sharon also complemented her aesthetic treatments with the Aivee Slimming and Nutrition Program—a medically guided plan tailored to her body type and lifestyle. This comprehensive program included meal planning and supplementation to support healthy, sustainable weight loss.”</p><p>Further illustrating that it’s not a one-and-done feat, Sharon and Dr. Aivee were also very open about the surgical scar and discoloration that were left behind as a result of her Arm Tuck procedure; it was done to remove the excess skin from her weight loss and now, they’re addressing the marks with innovative non-invasive treatments.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-16" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHauyxrzFxp/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A16%2C%22os%22%3A13007716.199999928%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="665" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-16" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The results of her commitment made a grand debut at the comeback of the ABS-CBN Ball this 2025. Sharon was positively glowing in a nude curve-hugging Jot Losa gown as she posed, all smiles, at the Aivee Clinic booth.</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-18" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DII0NWjT43a/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A18%2C%22os%22%3A13043015.600000024%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-18" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DKj0TC6RoAa/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=864&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A363468%2C%22ls%22%3A2786.800000000745%2C%22le%22%3A3327.0999999996275%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>Now, Sharon gladly posts about her family, and from the looks of it, she is living her best life.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1749530033193Sharon 5.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"/></div><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1749530049094Sharon 4.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"/></div><div><br/></div><p>She even shared a lighthearted post about her love of sugar, showing that even though she’s committed to keeping the weight off, she doesn’t deprive herself.</p><p><em>“Mga unang binili kagabi. Mawala na ang ulam basta may kendi at inumin!!!</em>🥰 Best friends <em>ko yan </em>during the campaign! <em></em>😂💖”</p><div><br/></div><div style="text-align:center"><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-22" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DJuUpypyMdS/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=1080&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A22%2C%22os%22%3A13214387.799999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-22" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1749530195115Sharon 1.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:700px"/><br/></div><p>In addition to her weight loss, Sharon also referenced ‘90s Shawie when she recently debuted her newly-chopped hair. Her pixie cut left many of her fans nostalgic as Sharonians flooded her Instagram account post with praises, with one even saying that they’ll get the same haircut as her, just like every time she debuts a new hairstyle. The new cut also made her look even more youthful and perfectly showed off her contoured face.</p><div><br/></div><p>Lead photos from<strong> @reallysharoncuneta</strong></p>
