AGNES Treatment to Get Rid of Stubborn Acne and Pimples
Author: Alexius Chua Being a guy used to be easy. Men were known to keep everything to the basics, just one hard soap is enough to scrub from head to toe, without a care in the world, much less on appearance. But not now. I’ve got many skin problems, and one that irks me the most is pesky acne and pimples. It is a skin condition triggered by overactive oil glands. When pores are clogged with too much sebum produced by the oil glands, the pimple pops up. Have tried a million different things – changing different pimple creams and facial wash, and visited polyclinic for that birth control pill…

New Year New Skin Clarity – Removing Acne Scars the Painless Way with Secret RF
Author: Alexius Chua Pimples come and go, but acne scars are like permanent marks on the face. You don’t need a close inspection to notice the acne scars on my cheeks and forehead, the contours look just like the uneven sand playground my nephews love to play at. Blame it on my reckless teenage years when I didn’t follow through the proper skincare routine and squeeze the pimples incessantly without thinking of the consequence 🙁 This affects my confidence and made me quite a reserved person. Okai perhaps its because of personality but my skin condition plays a part of it too. 1 month after treatment, the scars has pretty…

Filling up the loss of volume at Halley Medical Aesthetics
I was all along very concerned about the loss of volume at the cheeks and under eye areas because I always look tired and old despite having enough sleep. Even though I mask everyday, it doesn’t really help, as the masks can never recover the volume loss. Take a look at the picture below to see what I meant. When I finally decided to do something about it, I went to Dr. Terence Tan from Halley Medical Aesthetics as I used to visit him regularly. I was very surprised when he recommended me to do fillers for an area that I had not thought about, which is the area towards…

REVIEW: Fractional CO2 Laser @ ASTIQUE Clinic
For this post, I will be sharing my review of Fractional CO2 laser offered by the ASTIQUE Clinic, which is also my regular aesthetic clinic. In recent years, Fractional CO2 lasers are getting increasingly popular as the mainstay treatment to Acne scarring, improving wrinkles, discolouration as well as pore tightening. The reason is simply because it has clinically proven to be effective when performed by an experienced, certified doctor! The reason for me resorting to this treatment was because of my large pores concern & residual ice pick scars from my battle with acne during my adolescence. My skin type falls under combination but it tends to get excessively oily under the hot humid climate of Singapore.…

REVIEW: ASTIQUE Clinic Skin Booster 水光针
As we age, our body loses water, collagen and many other essentials that results in ageing. Without all those, our skin will appear dull and wrinkles will start to appear. How can you slow down ageing other than just apply skincare daily? I went for Skin Booster at Astique Clinic because the Koreans are crazy about it. I remember days when Skin Booster was not available in Singapore, people would fly over to Korea just to do the treatment! What is Skin Booster? Skin Booster is injecting hyaluronic acid under the skin. Hyaluronic Acid is found in almost every skincare in the market. It helps keep the skin hydrated and…

Astique Clinic – Botox For Men
Because Maybel is super satisfied with her cheek fillers done at Astique Clinic, she brought me along for some transformation to make me look younger!! I would like to think of myself as a true believer of ‘Keep your friends close & your enemy closer’. Because I keep my worst enemies real close they appear right in my face: Wrinkles! Or in other term: Aging. In fact, all mankind’s main enemy regardless how healthy or wealthy you are! Part of the reasons why wrinkles started to find their way to my face was because my substantial amount of exposure under the sun (No. 1 cause of wrinkles) be it for…

Happier and fuller cheeks at Astique
As much as I am happy with my current look, there is no reason not to make it even better. Aesthetics enhancements not only help one to look better, but also reverse the signs of aging. In my previous consultation with Dr. Matthew Yap, he told me that I would look better with fuller cheeks so I went back to Astique Clinic for cheek fillers! Let’s go! The fillers used previously on my chin and nose were none other than Juvederm. For my cheeks this time round, Dr Yap will be using Juvederm as well. It is said to last longer than other fillers. Dr Matthew told me that the…

Deep Hydration for the Skin at Astique
MFP has kindly arranged for a pre-CNY facial for me at Astique Clinic by Dr. Matthew Yap. Cold weather means flaky skin for the dehyrated skin. Hence, more hydration booster would be needed to keep the skin bouncy and radiant. My last facial was also probably more than half a year ago, so why not! Other than their in-house scrub, these were the products used that day – ESTHEMED, which are made in Korea. Well, we all know that Korea is the place for good skincare products! I enjoy doing facial a lot because it is extremely comfortable, relaxing and at the same time, better skin. The benefits of this…

Post Botox/Fillers – 3 months later
Attended my cousin’s wedding dinner in Dec and my relatives thought I slimmed down a lot because my face looked so much smaller/sharper! I told them “No way! I put on 2kg since the last time you guys saw me. The fats are now well hidden and my face look smaller because of botox!” Yes yes, I was referring to the session which I did at Astique Clinic 3 months ago. http://maybelinesim.sg/2013/11/26/my-1st-experience-with-botox-and-fillers/ And I can have a prominent chin at the same time thanks to the chin fillers done as well! Dr. Matthew told me that botox and fillers can last between 6 months to a year and I am…
