At some point, we tend to realise that the skincare we relied on for years, has stopped doing us any favour. That weekly mask ritual cleans your skin, but minus the glow. Your favoured serum is clogging your pores and the super expensive face scrub does nothing for your spots.
Thankfully, years of research resulted in a few new facial treatments that you can rely on to do wonders for your skin. Face Factors Clinic in Solaris Dutamas happen to have all these latest technologies to address every skin problem. We were invited over a few weeks back to test out a couple of these awesome treatments. Yes, Christmas came early!
We high-tailed it to the clinic to meet with Dr.Anjalee Nair, Face Factors Clinic’s cosmetic dermatologist to get more information about the latest laser treatment in town, the Clear+Brilliant treatment . It utilises a safe and unique technology that corrects skin tone and promotes radiant, healthy, younger looking skin. Lets say that it lies somewhere in between over-the-counter medication and more aggresive laser treatments like Fraxel.
We were armed with questions regarding the treatment, especially on the side effects. Dr.Anjalee said that there will be mild redness and minimal swelling on the skin with slight peeling over the next three days. Other than that, there’s no downtime, and gives immediate results, even after the first treatment.
It uses fractional laser technology to help prevent early signs of aging as the laser energy creates millions of microscopic treatment zones in your skin, replacing damaged skin with healthy, younger looking tissue. Basically what it does is the laser gently pricks into your skin to encourage collagen production, cell renewal and increases cell turnover as well as suppressing melanin in cases of pigmentation. It also comes in three settings ; low, medium and high.
Prior to the treatment, the face was cleansed and topical anaesthetic massaged onto the skin and was left on for 15- 20 minutes. During treatment the laser felt like needles pricking on the skin and skin instantly felt hot. Certain areas were more uncomfortable such as the hairline and forehead. The treatment wasn’t painful at all and we chatted throughout the treatment process, with Dr.Anjalee explaining more about the treatment. We started the treatment with the low setting and switched it to medium since the skin was able to cope.
The next few days, the skin peeled slightly and revealed a much more radiant skin beneath. The difference was quite tremendous after one treatment. It is recommended to go for up to 3 sessions and your skin will be looking as good as new!
Not a fan of lasers? Fret not. Let us introduce you to the Hollywood’s favoured skin treatment, Silkpeel Dermalinfusion. Whether you skin is suffering from dehydration, uneven skin tone, oiliness, acne or you just need a boost of vitamins for your skin, SilkPeel Dermalinfusion can improve your skin condition.
SilkPeel delivers noticeable results, immediately. Unlike microdermabrasion or chemical peels, SilkPeel Dermalinfusion’s diamond-tip application system is non-invasive, free of aluminum crystals and leaves the skin feeling fresh and radiant- not irritated. The SilkPeel procedure is safe, painless and can be performed almost twice as frequently as microdermabrasions without the risk of aggravating sensitive skin.
It is a new breakthrough procedure that combines precision exfoliation with Dermal Infusion to address patient-specific skin conditions. Operating on a closed-loop vacuum system, the SilkPeel diamond treatment head exfoliates the skin while delivering a topical dermaceutical at a controlled intensity. SilkPeel stimulates new cell growth and addresses your specific skin condition, giving your skin the revitalization you want. Whether you skin is suffering from dehydration, uneven skin tone or pigmentation, oiliness or acne or you just need a boost of vitamins for your skin, SilkPeel Dermalinfusion can improve your skin condition.
The treatment was painless and gave the skin a healthy glow. Skin was smooth to the touch and with all that dead skin gone, other treatments worked better!
