Unlocking Natural Beauty

Get to know Dr Edo Suweta dipl. AAM, the co-founder and head doctor of Puriva Aesthetic & Lifestyle Clinic, as he talks about the secret to glowing, youthful skin through the power of collagen stimulation.

Q: Puriva Aesthetic & Lifestyle Clinic has been around for half a decade. How do you see the clinic’s development in this past year?
A: We actually began our journey in late September of 2019. So basically, we grew up in the pandemic time and it was a tough moment, and we didn’t really grow up to our potentials. These past two years, however, after we got out of the pandemic time, we began to develop more and see more patients. Thankfully, we are still here up until now and it’s been an amazing journey. We are grateful that we’re still here, and hopefully, we will be stronger than ever.

Q: The aesthetic care industry is developing so fast. How do you keep up with the trends and decide which one to apply?
A: Nowadays, there are so many products, machines and technology. We need to participate in conferences and workshops to know development in aesthetic industry. I always try to attend international conferences at least once or twice a year, and then domestic ones at least one or twice a year. At these conferences, I can get information from experts, and see the newest technology. After that I have to choose which one is applicable, doable and feasible.

Q: What is the latest aesthetic treatment you would like to recommend?
A: Now is the era of collagen stimulations. I always like to give recommendations to my patients to stimulate the collagen. There are a few methods to stimulate the collagen, whether it’s with machine-based treatments or with injectables. We have to choose based on the patient’s individual conditions.

Collagen stimulation happens naturally within our body. But as we grow older, of course our body gets lazier, then we need to stimulate the collagen production. With collagen stimulations, you can look younger and healthier, but in a more natural way. I think the paradigm has changed. Back then people love to look a little bit more artificial, now they want to look more natural. That’s why collagen stimulators are booming now.

We want you to be the best version of yourself, not the best version of someone else. We are unique as individuals, so you would want to be the best version of yourself.

Q: What basic tips that you can share for people seeking to have beautiful and healthy skin and body?
A: There is nothing good that you can achieve without any effort. Aesthetic treatment is supposed to be like a lifestyle, like going to the gym or doing exercise. You need to do this with continuity. First thing first, you need a lifestyle modification. You need to focus on your health, exercise and eat balanced food. Routine treatments like facials and chemical peels are also beneficial. After that, you can add
other treatments based on your
needs, that’s why it’s very important to have a consultation first to tailor
the treatments.

Q: Last but not least, is there any plan to open more branches of Puriva Aesthetic & Lifestyle Clinic?
A: We have something cooking and we’re going to update you very soon hopefully. In the meantime, our three doctors – Dr Ida Ayu Diah Purnama Sari, Sp. DVE, Dr I Dewa Made Rendy Sanjaya Sp. DVE and I –are ready to assist you at our Sunset Road clinic.
