Think back a few years and it seems like the Aivee Clinic always had its name up in lights, but Drs Aivee and Z Teo would rather think of the success of their beauty empire as a natural progression. Dr Aivee shares, “We started everything from scratch with a small clinic, and then it grew organically without forcing anything. It was not primarily meant to be a business; it was primarily meant to be a practice.”
The couple anecdotally recounts their very first clinic, once named the Aivee Aguilar-Teo The Skin and Laser Clinic. Now larger-than-life, the Aivee Group is an encompassing brand extending well beyond the beauty and aesthetics industry through recently established yet equally flourishing ventures like Aivee Café, Luxuri Pets, Aivee Skin, Keli Devices and A Star Laboratories.
While the brand’s growth is at once a testament to their formidable and inspiring partnership, the Teos claim it’s also simply reflective of their personalities as self-confessed perfectionists. “We’re similar in the sense that we’re not the type of people to relax and be complacent; we always want to make sure that we’re at the forefront of technology and we always want to learn,” Dr Aivee professes. “We feel that [the Aivee Group] is still evolving. There’s so much more that we can do, offer and improve on. We’re always ready for the challenge to become better.”
