Mothers are responsible for the quality of life that the family enjoys at home---and yet they tend to neglect themselves in the fulfillment of their roles. They give care and attention to every family member including the spouse, children, sometimes even parents, and other extended members of the clan. At the same time, some mothers also work to help put food on the table and pay the bills. In a way, they are subjected to stress that their spouses or husbands do not experience, because they have to balance running a business and/or working in the office, to creating a happy home life.
After office hours, they still have to help the kids with their homework or make sure they are well taken cared of and the husband, too, needs her support and affection. Mothers tend to give a lot of themselves---and because they are selfless to a point that they almost do not care for themselves, they subject themselves to stress. This is when the effects of aging set in.


Dr. Lalaine Salazar, Medical Director of the SvelT’i Health and Beauty Centre in Timog Avenue, Quezon City, explains why mothers should pamper themselves especially on Mother’s Day: “Mothers can look their radiant best on their special day this May, thanks to a cutting-edge, non-invasive skin rejuvenating technology called Revlite.
Skin conditions like melasma, the effects of aging like mild wrinkles, and fine lines can be reduced, if not removed, to be replaced by healthy glowing skin that will make these wonderful women look younger than their age. Other conditions that Revlite can treat are acne marks and pigmentation.

Dr. Salazar continues, “Sometimes mothers forget to look after their skin and apply basic skin care principles, or expose themselves frequently to the sun when they shouldn’t. The consequences of this neglect accumulate over time and lead to conditions like melasma, pigmentation, and acne marks. Some of these conditions could have been prevented, but the mothers are too busy taking care of their loved ones to watch after their own health.”


Revlite, as offered by SvelT’i, goes a long way in removing those awkwardly visible medical conditions and restoring the skin to its youthful health. It is a revolutionary Q-Switched ND:YAG laser that features PhotoAcoustic Technology Pulse {PTP} that offers a wide-range solution to remove melasma, unwanted pigments, fine lines and wrinkles, and marks. Tattoos that mothers once had done during their younger years and now wants removed can also be slowly be made to vanish by the laser technology.

Revlite works on the pigmented lesions through the photoacoustic energy that targets the brown spots by producing a special wavelength of light that is being absorbed by the pigments. The light vibrates and breaks down the pigments into tiny particles, which in turn are absorbed and gradually eliminated by the body's natural process. The spots will appear lighter with each treatment and eventually fades.

For skin rejuvenation, the light energy is made to pulse over the skin targeting the support structure underneath its surface. This stimulates the production of new amounts of collagen resulting in reduction of wrinkles and improvement of fine lines with no downtime and discomfort.

“The entire process can take only 30 minutes and it is done in very comfortable conditions,” enthuses Dr. Salazar. “Because it is not intrusive, the patient needs no down time in order to adjust. After the treatment, she can go back to work, finish her chores at home, or shop in the mall with her family. More important, the results can be seen only after one session. Some of the pigments fade considerably.  We do recommend continuity in order to maximize these results.”

One benefit of using Revlite is that it restores the mom’s self-confidence in herself as she feels her newfound vitality and rediscovers her own authentic beauty. That joy radiates and spills over to her relationships, empowering her to infuse her home with more care and affection---but this time, escaping the ravages of stress and radiating her best self. It is a Mother’s Day’s self-treat that can last for a long time.
