Cedrix Slimming and Wellness Centre

8. While its sister company, Cathy Valencia Skin & Body Centre, focuses more on skin care, Cedrix is centered solely on weight loss and slimming, as well as improved lifestyle changes. Cedrix medical consultant Dr. Claire Pascual says, “It takes a healthy lifestyle to beat overweight problems. Cedrix is all about changing your health behavior to achieve the correct weight, to look good and to gain new confidence.”
“The core reason people become overweight or obese is fairly simple: if you take in more calories required by your body on a daily basis, those surplus calories will be converted to fat,” Pascual says. “This energy imbalance continues for an extended period of time, and leads to being overweight or obese.”
To address this, Cedrix offers the following: professional coaching system, personalized customer care, confluence of various treatments, and body detox system. The personalized coaching system involves a one-on-one session with a medical consultant at least twice a month, regular weight monitoring, lifestyle changing guidance via the Cedrix Gold Book, and on-call medical professional via mobile communication.
“Instead of just being told to avail yourself of any package or machine, we at Cedrix believe that personal medical guidance will help you achieve healthier living. Your doctor here will keep tabs with you every day, for as often as needed,” she says.
“We have our signature approach to achieve healthier slimming: Cellu-Shield, Metabolic Lipo Solve, Mesotherme, and Calla Sculpt,” she adds. “We are proud to say we are the only one that is offering these in the market.”
Pascual shares that slimming the Cedrix way requires the body to be fully prepared to trim down. In this case, it begins with the Cellu-Shield, which uses electromagnetic energy to transport active ingredients deep into the skin and heat energy to initiate lipolysis, drain the lymph system, improve skin elasticity, and aid the structure of connective tissues. “Through this step, you stand you lose five centimeters in five weeks,” she says. The Metabolic Lipo Solve then targets localized fat and is designed to burn fat and nutritionally support the body. Just like the Cellu-Shield, a patient will lose an additional five centimeters in five weeks. For the Mesotherme, there is melting and draining of fat with a combination of e-transderme, mesolipo, L-carnitine wrap, and the Eximia Cavitational. The latter is a unique combination of two patented technologies — Endolift and Ultraporation — and has proven to be the only solution available for fighting cellulite.
“The Calla Sculpt is for slimming, contouring, body lifting, and lymph management,” she says. “Aside from the Eximia Cavitational, we have other machines exclusive only to Cedrix.”
The Nannic NBE 500 uses a powerful combination of electromagnetic and diathermic energies that, among others, stimulates the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, leading to long-term improvements in skin tone. “Nannic is revolutionizing the fight against skin aging,” says Pascual. Included in the package, too, is the Chlorella Detox System, which detoxifies the bloodstream, improves the digestive system, helps fight cancer, and strengthens the immune system.
“What we are doing is a complete, healthy and safe way to lose weight,” Pascual says. “Cedrix offers free consultation and use of the high-tech Body Composition Analyzer.”
Aside from the state-of-the-art machines, Cedrix, according to Pascual, is also a center for relaxation and downtime to its busy clients. The clinic is simple in its gold, white and brown tones. Despite being a separate wellness center, Cathy Valencia’s commitment to uncompromising cleanliness is evident in the Cedrix facility, from its three treatment rooms to consultation room and the lounge.
“Yes, we have free Wi-Fi in the center as well as comfortable furniture so that patients can enjoy their time here, chill out and feel at home,” she says.
“So more than just machine-based treatments, Cedrix Slimming & Wellness serves as your personal assistant to managing your weight, improving your health, and changing to a better lifestyle,” she adds.
