Vietura by The Zen Institute celebrated its 10th anniversary on March 13, 2023 as a partner on a journey to natural beauty.
Vietura’s founder, Dr. Mary Jane “MJ” Torres, is a graduate of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Faculty of Medicine and Surgery. With a passion for aesthetic and wellness, she partnered with Sofitel Philippine Plaza to establish Vietura on March 5, 2013, under the umbrella of The Zen Institute (Medical Spa), which was formed on November 17, 2006.
Dr. MJ underwent postgraduate internship training under the country’s leading dermatologists and surgeons at St. Luke’s Hospital. She specialized in botox and lipotherapy in Istanbul, Turkey, and Athens, Greece, respectively. She spearheaded Resonax, the latest technology in body sculpting, which is the first of its kind in Asia and Europe. She is a member of the International Society of Mesotherapy, the French Society of Mesotherapy, and the Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery.
Recently, she had advanced training with Dr. Teguh Teta, founder of double fix thread for face and body sculpting and lifting, the latest innovation in non-surgical procedures for face and body lift.
As the first aesthetic institute of its kind in Asia, Vietura pioneers the country’s wellness tourism by introducing the Philippines to various internationally renowned best practices, innovations, and technology in aesthetic medicine. It is committed to providing the latest and most advanced aesthetic procedures. As it is located in a five-star hotel, it promotes wellness while in staycation mode.
Wellness and Natural Beauty: A Way of Life
Vietura’s name, coined from the French words “vie” and “natura,” which means “life” and “nature.” Guided by Zen Philosophy’s four pillars – aesthetic, integrative medicine, lifestyle, and pampering treatments – it considers wellness a journey, or a continuous experience.
Dr. MJ explains, “We believe that wellness is not a quick fix; otherwise, one will fail to create a natural look. Beauty created from within is achieved through a lifestyle shift and lasting effect through regenerative therapy at the cellular level.”
“We have synergized all our programs with non-invasive aesthetic procedures, integrative medicine, and one-on-one lifestyle coaching; hence, a combination of science, medicine, nature, and personal connection,” she adds.
Vie Great and Live Great!
True to its philosophy and core values, Vietura brings beauty and vigor to life through a combination of science, state-of-the-art medical technology, and natural methods.
