While most women would love to have glowing skin forever, only a few of them would actually consider going through cosmetic surgery.

But you know what they say—an ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure. With numerous health and cosmetic breakthroughs these days, aging gracefully is no longer a dream.

Life Science Center was adorned with designer shoes during the event.

Prevention starts from acknowledging the issue right at its roots, and this philosophy serves as the main selling preposition of Life Science Center for Wellness and Preventive Medicine in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). This one-of-its-kind health and wellness center provides a different route toward wellness and graceful aging. Life Science Center’s mission is to promote the practice of Preventive and Anti-Aging Medicine through its very own and distinctive take on medicine.

Apparently, skin aging is proportional to the quality of our overall health. While most medical institutions pay careful attention to curing illnesses and diseases, LifeScience is taking the preventive approach not only in your health issues but as well as skin aging.

“We intricately customize our services for each of our clients based on their unique genes, medical history and lifestyle. When you buy commercialized vitamins from a drugstore, it is usually anecdotal—hit or miss, you take it without thoroughly considering your personal needs,” said Maria Victoria Romero-Salas, owner and executive director of Life Science Center.

“Our main service is creating supplements especially for you, at a micronutrient level. What we do is we measure the exact deficiency based on our customized tests. That helps us customize micronutrients for them, and develop supplements, with specific nutrients that curve their deficiencies, “ she explained.

History lesson

Life Science Center owner Maria Victoria Romero-Salas explains the importance of being healthy.

The profiles of the clients are based on past medical and family history to present co-morbidities and complaints if any; from clinical and physical functionality to physiologic biochemistry, including pharmacologic intake and interactions; from work habits to exercise lifestyle, all the way to laboratory testing and analysis.

Aging gracefully is indeed all about taking care of one’s health Life Science specializes in a number of procedures that can paint the template of someone’s life, including Genomics, a service that helps clients look into their DNA and identifies the diseases and conditions they are genetically predisposed to.

Life Science also uses a Food Intolerance Test, an examination which uses a few drops of blood to carefully pinpoint all the food groups that clients are most reactive to. Both of these tests, as well as a host of other preventive treatments, are the crux of what Life Science is all about.

The Life Science Center is the hub of Life Science’s operations, housing a selection of highly-advanced medical equipment and advanced personalized wellness services—a state-of-the-art operating room for ambulatory surgery, intravenous therapy, a hyperbaric oxygen treatment facility, dermatological treatment areas, Kinesis, and a pharmaceutical dispensary for customized medicines, among others.
