Family and friends toast to the well-loved Dr. Aivee Teo as she marks her birthday and a banner year for the Aivee Clinic.
The Back Room, Shang at the Fort’s discreetly glamorous secret bar, was the perfect setting for the elegant yet cozy double celebration: Aivee Aguilar-Teo’s birthday and Aivee Clinic turning 15. She made a fashionable entrance, looking glam in a light pink satin Prada number, with her doting husband and business partner Dr Z Teo, and sweet daughter Keli in tow. Aivee certainly cut a youthful silhouette with the crystal-encrusted razor back—a subtle nod to 15 years in the industry— that fit her lean figure to a T.

Notable Guests
Aivee’s signature thoughtfulness was evident that night in all the details, particularly the well-planned F&B designed to delight the evening’s guests: family, close friends, valued clients, and key figures who have played a significant role in her personal and professional life. “The guest list was carefully curated to include people who have shared meaningful moments with me, from the clinic’s journey to personal milestones,” said the founder of one of the country’s leading dermatological and aesthetic clinics.
Aside from her dear sisters Alelee Andanar and Vice-Mayor April Aguilar who made sure to help look after all the guests, this meant a star-studded room full of celebrities and beautiful people led by Heart Evangelista and prominent Aivee leaguers such as Bea Alonzo, Nadine Lustre, Kathryn Bernardo, Maricel Soriano and Kylie Versoza.

Picture Perfect
Playful touches perfect for selfies were everywhere: a photo wall spilling with pink Ecuadorian roses and cascades of Baby’s Breath; IG-ready cocktail tables littered with floral sprigs and heart-shaped Aivee-at-15 sunglasses; and fluted frosted lampshades that cast a soft glow on the grazing table heaving with savory bites.

Along with crafted cocktails, endless bubbles, and a special selection of liquor from the Back Room bar, a fashionable mix of fusion canapes flowed freely all night— from crisp seafood wontons, BBQ bacon scallops and tsukune, char-grilled chicken meatball skewers, to whiskey and muscovado (36-hour cured) braised beef short ribs and succulent empanadas with a dollop of chimichurri.
Toast To Tomorrow
The celebration of Aivee Clinic’s 15th anniversary was also subtly woven into the evening with a short toast recognizing the milestone and a year of amazing innovations. Just two months prior, the Aivee Clinic was honored as the PLINEST® top user in Southeast Asia and recognized as the first clinic in the country to offer this innovative treatment.

Birthday Blessings
Before midnight, OPM hit-maker Moira Dela Torre broke out into the Happy Birthday song as a giant A-shaped cake in fluffy white frosting topped with pink roses, macarons and sparkling candles was wheeled in. Aivee was all smiles as she blew the candles with a little help from her better half Dr Z, surrounded by all the birthday love from friends and family.
Moira then pumped up the volume with her rendition of “Dancing Queen” followed by other stars including Denise Laurel, Bela Padilla, Mark Bautista and JM Rodríguez who all sang the night away.
“The gathering of my nearest and dearest all in one night, celebrating with me and singing happy birthday was really special,” gushed the joyful celebrant who shared her gratitude for the years of continued blessings. “The Lord has truly blessed me a thousandfold and I am grateful to Him for His grace.”
Aivee’s foremost birthday wishes: “good health for myself, my family, and everyone who has supported me along the way, both personally and professionally. I’m also wishing for the Aivee clinic’s growth and success for many more years to come so that I may also continue to help others and give back.”
