Fresh from her crowning moment at the Miss Universe Philippines 2024 grand coronation, Michelle Dee shares her journey and how it intertwines with her perspective on beauty and self-care. Her iconic Apo Whang-Od-inspired gown during her final walk was more than just a fashion statement; it symbolized her journey, a tribute to every story, every drop of sweat, and every ounce of effort poured into it. Dee’s reign as a beauty queen has been marked by projects and advocacies dedicated to celebrating identity and beauty in its most authentic form – a philosophy she continues to champion in collaboration with Belo and Thermage FLX.
The beauty queen stresses the significance of self-care and non-invasive medical enhancements as a means to embrace one’s true self. Frequently seen showcasing her versatility across television, social media, and print advertisements, Dee openly acknowledges her own skincare obstacles. In a recent video shared during her shoot for Belo’s Thermage FLX, the 29-year-old, alongside her long-time makeup artist Dave Quiambao, candidly discussed her skincare struggles, particularly with water retention. “My recurring problem is the puffiness around my face that I couldn’t get rid of,” she confides.
After undergoing the procedure, Dee noticed a healthy lift to her face. “What I love about Thermage is that it works with what God has already given me. It [amplifies] those things that I need a little bit of help with,” she shares, adding that the treatment was also effective on certain parts of her body. Thermage FLX is a non-surgical procedure that combats skin issues by tightening and contouring the skin. It also improves skin complexion and texture to address dry and dull skin. The yearly session requires no downtime, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a natural, radiant glow without drastic measures.
Reflecting on her journey to the Miss Universe stage, Michelle expresses deep gratitude towards Belo and its founder Dr. Vicki Belo, highlighting a variety of treatments that catered to her needs. “Aside from Thermage FLX, which I did on my face and body, I have a lot of Belo favorites. I can’t choose just one– V-Contour, laser hair removal, and Emsculpt to name a few.” For consultations tailored to your specific needs, click here to book your Belo treatment today.
