Part 4, and my skin had less to nothing to squeeze during my previous visit to SPA-Lon on a Friday.

Here's the previous 2 visits with the same treatments given; Mirco-peeling, Photo Rejuvenating, masking and extractions.

The before on 22nd July!

Basically the next few visits is to get those remaining black heads out and make sure the face oil sebum produced is stable.

I've got to admit that my face have became so much better after all the visits to SPA-Lon.

Below is the before and after comparison for my visit to SPA-Lon on the 22nd July!

Pauline did a little more squeezing today as some of the leftover black heads had finally surfaced and were ready for removal. Thus my face looks a little redder as compare to the previous visit to SPA-Lon or rather the before picture.

My visit to SPA-Lon on the 31st July and the 9th visit. - It had been about a months now visiting SPA-Lon every week.

Here's my face before visiting on the 31st July.

...and then after.

This time, Pauline didn't do any extractions as it's not needed. Yay-nesssssss!

Just purely enjoying the face washing, little massage and the SPA-Lon's ATP38 treatments, Mirco-Peeling and Photo Rejuvenating respectively.

Don't you find my face so much better? :D

The first few visits was super intense and I am glad that my skin shows so much improvement.

I was told by Pauline that my face have been cleared from black heads and if I continue to take good care of my face, there shouldn't be any problem anymore.

The only problem here is, we are living in such a sunny and most of the time humid island, so oil seeds are really hard to avoid. 

Solution to that? Well...the only thing I can think of is... always remember to remove my make up properly and make sure that nothing is left on the skin. 

We probably do need some light exfoliation, black head/oil seeds strips treatment and masking weekly on our own. The SPA-Lon's ATP-38 Mirco-Peeling is really good at removing those little impurities though.

Moving on, I am going to show you the pictures of my face for the 10th visit to SPA-Lon on the 8th AUGUST, National Day EVE!!! 

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY! 

HAHAHAHA!

Oookk. Ehem. 

So here's my face right after my visit to SPA-Lon on 8th August before the next 4 healing days.

Well, I don't have the "before I head to SPA-Lon" pictures because I am basically in make up right after my morning stage shows. I think there's no point taking a picture of myself in make up right. lol. 

Yea right.. SO.

Here's what happened to my face after 4 days of healing process.

(Basically nothing happen, my face just healed itself.)

Now the only thing I want to get rid off my face, are those scars and marks that had been there ages before I even go to SPA-Lon. It's really important to go to the right beautician for facial!

There is no pimple at all, all those red marks are left over scars from previous facial salon I've been to try in the past.

I have taken a picture today with my face at current condition right below...

After all the ATP-38 treatments from SPA-Lon; Photo Rejuvenation Treatment and Mirco-Peeling treatment respectively, my face indeed became brighter and it's definitely less dull.

Now let's compare the initial first visit after pictures with the freshly taken pictures.

...and the picture taken before my 1st visit to SPA-Lon and now...

Huge differences. No edits, nothing.

I personally agree that my face improved a lot within these 1 and a half months of visits to SPA-Lon and I really want to thank Mag for introducing me to SPA-Lon and having Pauline to treat my face. 

On a side note:

I probably had stated in the previous post, but I shall write here again for the benefits of others who wants to know what package I am under.

Part 2: http://www.evaleelx.com/2014/06/the-spa-lon-atp38-and-acne-visit-dairy_25.html

This post is going to be about my 6th and 7th visit to SPA-Lon.

Basically my face has became better after the past 5 visits and I was told by Pauline that there are still left over blackheads that can't be remove completely previously. 

I am waiting for the scars & marks to disappear slowly, hoping that one day I don't need extractions anymore. 

Here's the before and after for the 6th visit on 9th July (Wednesday)~

Pauline extracted those blackheads that finally surfaced and are ready for removal.

I decided to take a picture of the blackheads at the end of it.

It's like never ending! Some are oil seeds I think.

Disgusting much.

As usual, Pauline from SPA-Lon Choa Chu Kang outlet, did Mircopeeling & Photo Rejuvenating on me.

On the 7th visit which is on 17th July (Thursday)

The same thing, Pauline removed those left over blackheads that finally surfaced. I was relieved that it's lesser than before. It just means less extractions and less pain. 

Here's the before and after for 17th July.

It's the 3rd days of healing after the 7th visit currently, and I have 3 new pimples that came out and some pulse on the extracted part near the temple above my left eyebrow. I think it's really got to do with all my late nights which I can't avoid due to my work nature and also...I am expecting my month period. It better come on time! **Prays** (1 more day)

P.S: As usual, still using the same cleansing method & products from SPA-Lon

1) Phytomer Milk cleanser

2) Phytomer Toner 

3) Phytomer Moisturiser and Acne spot cream.

The SPA-Lon ATP38 and Acne { Visit Dairy } Part 2

From the previous post about my visit to SPA-Lon :

http://www.evaleelx.com/2014/06/the-spa-lon-atp38-and-acne-visit-dairy.html

Here's what happen to me, I had to fill you people up with what I had just went through, I felt so proud of myself for surviving it alone as usual. 

Me and my immune system had just successfully won a war with probably a bunch of naughty foreign invaders that decided to choose me for a vacation for about 5 days. I was literally down with a roller-coaster fever, block & running nose and sore throat for almost a week. This left me bed ridden half the time and another half of my time I actually went to work. A little crazy but I need to feed myself, no one is going to feed me. While I still can manage, I just had to tell myself that I can do this! 

This morning when I woke up, I felt so different and I know the fever's gone! I actually had constipation for the past 4-5 days and guess what?! I SHITTED FINALLY!

I was super relieved that my body feels better finally, that means I can make my way to SPA-Lon this afternoon for my 4th appointment with Pauline.

If you read about my previous post, you will know how much of a trouble and emotion I had actually went through too. The good news here is, my facial skin looks better now!

I shall rewind a little to the 18th of June, when I went to SPA-Lon at Choa Chu Kang for my 3rd visit.

I requested no extractions for the 3rd visit just so I can see if there is any difference. So Pauline didn't do the 3rd extractions, she did 2 of the ATP-38 treatment,  Micropeeling and Photo Rejuvenating for me. 

This is the after-face from the 3rd visit to SPA-Lon with NO extraction.

My skin actually looks a lot better after it healed from the extraction from the 2nd visit. 

Nothing much of a difference since there isn't any extraction done to the face, accept that my face looks brighter and smoother than before I do the Micropeeling and Photo Rejuvenating treatments.

Now back to my 4th visit which is today, 25th June after being terribly ill.

Let's take a look at the "before I go to SPA-Lon today" picture.

The lightings is exceptionally good today in my elder sister's room. LOL.

As usual, Pauline took a look at my face first and at the same time I was actually educating her about my battle story with the foreign invader. HAHAHA!

 Pauline was surprised that my face didn't breakout when I am sick. I agree that I was super worried that my face will breakout due to fever and being sick. But surprisingly nothing of such happen. :)

I was told that I had a lot of ready-to-extract oil seeds and small little blackheads here and there. I knew my face still feels a little rough due to all this dried up oil seeds. I took out the courage and was ready to let Pauline do the extractions once again for this visit. 

I have seen improvements in my skin after every extractions, treatments and after giving it time to heal itself. That is where I get those confidence to continue doing the extractions procedure which I used to believe it didn't help but make my face look like shit. I believe not all the time extraction is bad, it really depends who is your beautician.

The only bad part is, PAIN. Oh well. It's like that.

After ATP-38 treatments (Mircopeeling & Photo Rejuvenating) and extractions. This time with a different mask on my face. I was told this time the mask helps to lighten scars and calm the skin. The previous visits, the mask helps to cool the face and for anti-inflammation purpose.  

These are a combination of all the pictures of my face from the 1st visit to the 4th visit at SPA-Lon.

RIGHT SIDE

I am really glad my skin is showing improvements and I am really looking forward to a much better skin in time to come. 

I also realise the product SPA-Lon gave me to use are great too. I have been using them these few weeks and everything works well on my face.  Since I didn't put pictures of them up in my previous post, here are the products that I have been using recently from SPA-Lon.

Basically just in time after I finished my Biolee facial cleansing series! 

Now I became more paranoid about the cleanliness of my face, I literally cleanse them with Phytomer Milk cleanser a zillion times (ok, I am joking, max I go is 3-4 times) before I wash my face with Faceshop facial cleansing rice water.

Sometimes I think I over used it and it is finishing soon. So is my facial wash -.-. lol.

Paranoid max ?

Anyway, a close up of the 2 small tube of moisturiser and acne spot cream.

Pauline shared a small technic on how to use my toner to prevent small little things from growing on my face. More skin care procedure!

The SPA-Lon ATP38 and Acne { Visit Dairy }

My first day at SPA-Lon is on the 5th June 2014. I decided to try SPA-Lon ATP-38 to help cure my terrible pimples outbreak and facial condition after Mag reassured me. I really want to thank her and SPA-Lon for giving me some hope and regain some confidence in getting back my flawless skin.

Well, I was quite insecure with regards to extraction because I had tried many places and extraction just didn't work for my skin. My skin unfortunately became angry and pimples started surfacing. It got worse about 3 months back and I felt emotionally affected because I am really concerned about it. With such outrage of pimples on my face, I can't apply my make up on nicely and my skin wasn't as flawless as before.

When people asked about my pimples, I just had to reply the same thing over and over again. Some would even jokingly tease me about it. I knew they were joking and didn't mean any harm, but somehow deep inside, I don't feel secure and as confident anymore because I know exactly that having that much pimples on my face doesn't make me look good even with make up. I am also concern about how I look on camera when I am filming because it catches every single detail on screen. :(

I met Pauline, the branch manager (my beautician too) on my first day at SPA-Lon's Choa Chu Kang branch. I really appreciate the patience she have with me. To be honest, I was holding back and was uncomfortable once I heard the word "Extraction". Those who did it before, will know how painful it is. Totally like a torture chamber kind of procedure to me! 

To help gauge the right level of the SPA bed I am going to lie on later, Pauline took my blood pressure and ensure that nothing of such like giddiness will occur during the session. My blood pressure is low and Pauline said it's not really a good sign as it might be part of the cause of my outbreak of acnes - suspected myself and even my beautician, my acne has also got to do with hormonal imbalance, to be honest I am having irregular period since the start of the year. :(

But on the other hand, it's also cause by the impurities stuck beneath my skin and pores due to poor cleansing of my face. We had a long talk and discussed a lot of thing that might cause my acnes and also the possibilities of doing extractions and my face will look better in days to come. 

I really need a lot of reassurance due to many bad experience at different facials that I used to go. Pauline also told me that she needs to start by extracting all the impurities and calm the pimples down before proceeding to the rest of the ATP-38 treatments.

The ATP-38 treatments includes: 

- Micropeeling Treatment

- Photo Rejuvenation Treatment 

- Radio Frequency Treatment

- Cryocooling Treatment

- Eye-lifting Treatment 

This is my face after my first extractions, ATP-38's Micropeeling Treatment and Photo Rejuvenation Treatment.

2nd Day on 8th June 2014

This is my face after letting it healed for about 2 days and using the cleansing milk, toner, moisturiser and acne spot cream given by SPA-Lon.

Even though after the first extractions there are some pus surfacing, they kind of disappear or accidentally break itself this past 2 days. I was left with some pus when I made my 2nd visit to SPA-Lon to see Pauline again.

I still had some concern regarding pus appearing on my face because thats what I experience before. Seeing pus are naturally known as a not good sign, because pus consists of a buildup of dead leukocytes (white blood cells) from the body's immune system in response to infection. It accumulates at the site of inflammation. When the buildup is on or very near the surface of the skin it is called a pustule or pimple.

Pus is a sign of infection. This is good and bad news:

Good news - it means that the body's immune system is fighting the infection.

Bad news - it means that there is an infection.

:(

Well Pauline reassured me that it's normal and that is why the 2nd visit is very important.

Aside from the early pus I saw, everything became better and my face looks better as compare to the first time when I just did my extraction.

So I proceed on with the 2nd session with some confident and less worried. (Though, I really really really hate extractions because it hurtssss!) I am afraid of pain, like literally painnnn! :( Sometimes I worried about getting pregnant, lol -.-)

Oh well, they always say, no pain no gain right. 

It's a bet.

Got myself changed into my robe as usual. They provide locker as well to keep my bags and stuff. :)

As usual, Pauline did  Micropeeling Treatment first and then to extraction. Pauline didn't do the complete ATP-38 treatments as she said she want to cure my pimple problems first.

Here's my face after the extractions and Micropeeling treatment.

My face became much brighter and of course a little redder because of the extractions.

Next Pauline did the Photo Rejuvenation Treatment for me where it will help to re-energise, restructure and revitalise skin cells. This results in increased collagen production and regulates melanin giving me a more radiant skin.

Next a mask was applied on my face, what feels really cooling but stings at the same time quite badly because there's a lot of opened wound on my face and it's like killing the bacteria for me.

This is how it looks like. HAHAA. I look like.......Alien. LOL.

Everything was an enjoyment except the extraction part. lol.
Here's my face after everything. If you notice that it is less red and bumping and it looks more radiant than before.

Now my face have been healing for the pass 1 week and literally it had been struggling much with the hot & humid weather at Bangkok. Pus was still seen and was pretty bad but after sleeping with air-con in the hotel at BKK, my face always looks better every morning. 

When I came back Singapore, still there are pus taking their turns to appear on my face. Few days ago, it had became slightly better, but today as I am writing this post, there are new pus surfacing, though now my face looks much better as compare to the early healing days.

I realised my face is sensitive or rather it's an heredity thing. Even till now my mum still have pimples too and my entire family including my sisters have pimples and sensitivity problem. Oh and I recall my dad not having really good skins as well. 

I probably will stop extractions and opening my pores as I don't want to further agitate the pimples. But no doubt I personally feel the first few ATP-38 treatment is good! 

I am heading back for a 3rd visit to SPA-Lon at Choa Chu Kang this coming Wednesday afternoon. I shall update here again!
