Wellness technology in Cebu just got a significant upgrade. BASE Aesthetics has officially launched the Vital Dome, an infrared thermotherapy system developed in France and now available exclusively at their clinic, making them the only aesthetic facility in Cebu to offer it.
For anyone unfamiliar with the Vital Dome, the short version is this: it’s a full-body, far-infrared heat therapy experience that works from the inside out. Engineered using Black Carbon Technology, the system penetrates up to four centimetres beneath the skin and raises the body’s internal temperature directly rather than just warming the surface. Each session runs roughly 40 to 45 minutes, done lying down, and pulls from a library of 38 preloaded wellness programs covering everything from skin and beauty to athletic recovery, lymphatic drainage, detoxification, immune support, and sleep.
It’s a wide scope, intentionally so.
“The treatment is suitable for a wide demographic with various concerns. From athletes and post-operative patients to the elderly and children, this is how seriously we take your wellness. We want to cover everything,” says Dr. Fremont Base, founder of BASE Aesthetics.
That philosophy is part of why the Vital Dome ended up at BASE specifically. BASE Aesthetics was handpicked by i3 Inc. as their exclusive Cebu partner, a distinction that speaks to the clinic’s standing in the regional aesthetic landscape. According to Phoebe Zamora, i3 Inc.’s device distributor, the choice was deliberate. “We chose BASE Aesthetics as our partner because of their ability to maximize the full potential of every technology they carry. With the Vital Dome, they’re able to elevate both results and recovery, delivering a more complete, high-quality experience for their patients.”
Globally, the Vital Dome has been used by wellness and aesthetic clinics as a recovery and regeneration tool. The science behind it—far-infrared heat that penetrates deeper than conventional saunas or heat therapies—has made it a go-to for those looking to address concerns that sit at the intersection of aesthetics and overall wellbeing. Think of it less as a beauty treatment and more of a full system reboot: the kind of session that addresses the body holistically rather than targeting one specific issue.
Preparation is straightforward. Patients are advised to arrive well-hydrated, avoid eating an hour before their session, and wait at least four hours after before showering, giving the body time to continue the therapeutic process on its own terms.
BASE Aesthetics was founded and is led by Dr. Fremont John G. Base, FPCS, FPAPRAS, a board-certified plastic surgeon and accredited Fellow of the Philippine Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. The clinic has built its reputation on bringing world-class technology to Cebu without making patients travel to get it, a mission that the Vital Dome fits squarely into.
The exclusive launch took place on August 7, 2026 at the BASE Aesthetics clinic in Cebu, featuring a live demonstration of the system, a walkthrough of its science and benefits, and an opportunity for guests to experience it firsthand.
For a city that’s increasingly serious about its wellness options, the Vital Dome’s arrival at BASE Aesthetics is the kind of addition that expands what Cebuanos can expect from aesthetic care, not just in results, but in the depth and range of what’s available to them close to home.
