Aging and collagen loss
From long hours of overtime to sleepless nights taking care of their kids and the natural effects of aging, there are countless situations women face that cause dark undereye circles. Also known as sunken eyes, these often appear dark or hollow due to causes such as aging and a decline in collagen, sleep loss, dehydration, and trauma.

Collagen is a protein that can be found in our skin, and gives it structure and strength. Yet as we age and go through our fast-paced, busy lives, we naturally lose collagen. As early as in our 20s, collagen begins to decline resulting in skin issues like fine lines, wrinkles, dull skin, and the dreaded panda circles.
Adequate sleep and a regular skincare routine with eye cream and sunscreen can help, but sometimes our skin needs more. A powerful collagen boost can give skin back its youthful, radiant appearance, and with Deusaderm LIDO, it’s now possible to say goodbye to dark circles under the eyes.
A collagen-boosting solution
Sunmax invited guest speakers Dr. Wu Hsun Pai, Professor Li Yuan Hong, and Dr. Jonathan Nevin Yu to share their academic insights on collagen. Through the professional viewpoints and research discussions of these three distinguished doctors, they delved into the application and effectiveness of collagen in the field of medical aesthetics, complementing their insights with practical case studies.

Deusaderm LIDO, an injectable collagen gel with lidocaine, developed by Taiwan’s Sunmax Biotech, is the newest injectable collagen-boosting solution intended for correction of contour deformities of the skin wherein patients are wanting to improve panda eyes circles, wrinkles, dull skin that lacks elasticity and has tear trough deformity.
Designed for overall facial rejuvenation, it utilizes a formula highly similar to human collagen that is biocompatible and biodegradable, while effectively boosting skin elasticity, hydration, texture, and volume. It is also a porcine derived collagen dermal filler in the Philippines.
Now made accessible locally through Vanguard Aesthetics, Deusaderm LIDO offers immediate results as early as one week after your first injection. As explained by Dr. Wu Hsun Pai, “Deusaderm LIDO seamlessly integrates with your skin, reducing wrinkles and refining contours for a more youthful appearance. As the collagen gradually breaks down into amino acids, it stimulates regeneration, improving skin texture, brightness, and overall smoothness.”
With as much as 92% of patients seeing significant improvement as early as the first injection, it’s no wonder that Deusaderm LIDO has become so popular with over 2 million treatments performed. No need to go through the hassle of changing any of your routines or purchasing different skincare products, because Deusaderm LIDO can give you a beautiful and youthful glow.

“Deusaderm is purified from Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) porcine using patented techniques, making it highly biocompatible and similar to human collagen. As a result, it typically causes no adverse side effects,” explained Prof. Li Yuan Hong.
Thanks to the collagen regeneration, Deusaderm LIDO not only improves skin tone and texture but also ensures a naturally refreshed appearance.
The Philippines’ own Dr. Jonathan Nevin Yu highlighted the effortlessly natural results of the treatment, saying, “Deusaderm LIDO enhances the skin’s volume and contours while maintaining dynamic, natural-looking beauty.”
A safe and easy treatment
A Deusaderm LIDO session typically takes just 30 minutes, making it a quick and convenient solution for those who lead busy lives. With only 10 to 15 minutes of icing required post-treatment, patients can also return to their daily routines almost immediately. The effects of the full treatment, which depends on the physician’s evaluation and individual condition, last for around eight to 12 months.

One of the brand’s latest advocates is business owner and lifestyle influencer Cat Arambulo, who recently experienced the treatment firsthand. She shared, “The procedure was quick and virtually painless. My dark circles were concealed and the fine lines under my eyes had noticeably softened. Deusaderm LIDO is such a game-changer for aging skin like mine.”
In a video, three local influencers Shari Poquiz, Marie Field Faith, and Sandy Riccio shared their firsthand experiences and impressions of being among the first to undergo Deusaderm LIDO treatment, offering attendees valuable perspectives from beauty enthusiasts and lauding the effectiveness and outcomes of collagen injections. Treatments were provided by Dr. Jonathan Nevin Yu, Dr. Beverly Ong-Amoranto, and Dr. Lindsay Gail Torralba- Garcia, focusing on the peri-orbital areas, also known as the undereyes.
Say goodbye to tired eyes and hello to natural rejuvenation with Deusaderm LIDO.
