RECOMMENDED TREATMENT FOR AGING/MATURE SKIN

Sagging here and there. The power of nature and its’ gravity ability.
But thanks to all the innovations in the beauty industry, now we all have choices to treat these problems.
Disclaimer: I’m not against aging, it’s a privilege to age, but I do feel good if I look in the mirror and see improvements on my appearance. You do you, ok?
1. PEELING

More pros than cons for PEELING treatment: it was one of the quickest treatment, no numbing cream involved, significant result in just one go, no harsh skin flaking. Please don’t do this yourself at home, I was recommended by my derm to use double peel of Salicylic Acid and TCA 20%. This is a monthly treatment, and it won’t break the bank. Make sure you visit a legit beauty clinic.

2. EYELINER EMBROIDERY

A good friend recommended me to do this treatment, when I had a botch botox treatment earlier this year which caused me droopier eyelids. I wish I did this sooner, as EYELINER EMBROIDERY gave me not just the practicality of “I woke up like this” set of eyes, but also that optical illusion of more lifted eyes. The treatment was not painful at all, it felt like a stroke of hard brush and it only took me three days to completely heal (might vary to different eyes). Downtime involving swollen lids (as seen above), but mine was pretty manageable, so I’m very happy with the final result.
FYI, I did mine at Anggie Rassly Beauty Studio with the master, Rassty Raswanty.

3. LASH LIFT & LASH TINT

Still talking about eyes, to complement the embroidery, I did Brow Lift, Lash Lift and Lash Tint at the same beauty studio mentioned above. Thankfully, I do have long lashes already (but they were straight before), they desperately need a curl and more color definition in order to stand out. The whole process took about an hour, and I’m glad I did these because they really cut down my morning makeup routine.

4. REJURAN S

Last but definitely not least: REJURAN S. I have to admit, I was skeptical due to the conversations on the internet about the pain of this treatment. Bite the bullet, to be free of acne scars and textured skin. I was doubting between this treatment and laser, but knowing that recovery/down time for this is faster (within 48 hours), I decided to go under the injection. Not just great for superficial acne scars, it also helps to stimulate skin cells to produce collagen. Numbing cream applied pre-treatment, but do expect a bit of pain during subcision.
I did mine at AMALA CLINIC, more updates on my skin condition coming soon as I just had this treatment yesterday.

WHERE DO I GO FOR FACIAL?

I got questions about this a lot.

Frankly speaking I don’t like facial that involves acne or blackhead extraction. It hurts. The only thing that I love about facial is simply the massage. Don’t we all?

But then again, we all need facial. At least, once a month to clear out those clogged pores because a simple exfoliation with scrub at home just won’t do if you have problematic skin like me. Please don’t try to pinch that thing out of your skin, because it’ll cause pores trauma (yes, pores can have traumas) and make them look larger than life. 

I trust JAKARTA AESTHETIC CLINIC to do my facial. They called it “COMEDONES PEELING” (peeling komedo in my languange-bahasa). The clinic itself doesn’t look like an ordinary clinic, I always feel like going to a spa when I entered their door. Private rooms with spa music and very modern and comfortable chair, this skin clinic belongs to dr. Olivia Ong, dipl. AAAM, an aesthetician and Anti-Aging Specialist. 

Here are the steps of the treatment:

1. Cleansing to remove makeup, dirt and oil with cleansing milk and facial foam.

2. Peeling will be applied on clean skin. It’s a very straight forward procedure, using a clear peeling gel (which is exclusively available in this clinic). This peeling gel will absorb into the skin to soften any clogged pores in about 3 minutes with hot steam on, therefore it’ll be easier for the beautician to extract the comedones later.

3. Extraction process is less painful than the other facials I’ve tried elsewhere. That’s because of the peeling which already soften the comedones and during the extraction, hot steam will always on. 

Warning: explicit image of my comedones. LOL. 

4. Mask time. Using a clear gel mask with a cold steam. Don’t worry, it’s not as cold as you imagine..just like a cool breeze which I believe will tone down the redness after extraction process. Mask will not be hardened after 10 minutes recommended time with cold steam always on. 

The whole process only took about 30 minutes. Very simple yet effective facial.
