Visit Athens and you’ll be mesmerized by the magnificent relics of a once glorious civilization. Greek sculptures, particularly, have put many in a trance with how artists had carved meticulously in perfect form human anatomy. Perfect beauty is what the Greeks of ancient civilization had defined.

If people thought that a perfect beauty is impossible to achieve, that only gods and goddesses can have the perfect body lines and curves, then they must listen to what one of the most beautiful faces in the country has to say.

Kristine Hermosa is one of the most admired faces in the local entertainment. Her face of a goddess landed her in major TV series and movies. According to Dr. Francis Decangchon, medical-surgical director of Aescultura, she exemplifies the real meaning of true beauty that radiates from inside out.

“She has the face and body of a goddess, and we are bold enough to bring her here and have Aescultura be endorsed by her. We have great confidence and trust on her for she embodies the idea of beauty that we, in Aescultura, have in mind… the challenge for us is to maintain her beauty that people see every day on television,” Decangchon expressed during the media launch of Kristine Hermosa as the very first endorser of medical and beauty clinic Aescultura.

If the medical clinic gives its trust on the beautiful actress, Kristine is more than thankful for the confidence the medical clinic gives her. She has been consulting the clinic for more than a month now and she avails of treatments, like body scrub and facial.

“I think it’s about time that I endorse again kasi ang tagal na rin na hindi ako nag-endorse. I’m glad I was chosen. I trust them too because alam ko naman na sobrang experience [sic] ang mga doctors natin dito and they really take care of me and their patients,” she told the press.

The intense pressure to always look impeccable to the public eye is what Kristine considered in endorsing the beauty clinic. Not that she wanted to alter something in her body, but as the doctors in Aescultura said: “In the right hands even minor physical changes can foster renewed confidence, increase self-respect and restore a positive outlook in life.”

Located at the heart of Quezon City, Aescultura, with a Greek-themed clinic, offers surgical and non-surgical procedures that come in reasonable prices. Aside from highly trained medical and surgical professionals and customer-oriented staff, the clinic also puts premium on the privacy of its clients.

Lovely yet loveless

After just a short hiatus, 24-year-old Kristine will be seen on TV again. This time, she will take a break from doing dramatic scenes and tries her flair in giving out comic punch lines. She is topbilled together with Anne Curtis and Valerie Concepcion for the comedy show Banana Split.

Kristine, who maintains her slender body by working out, taking Pilates and boxing classes with Oyo Boy Sotto, dismissed any romantic inclination with the actor. If asked about her love life, she just said that she enjoys being single. She is not ready to fall in love yet for she hasn’t found the same connection and compatibility she had with former husband Diether Ocampo.
