The Top 5 Reasons to Try CoolSculpting

     At first glance, the name CoolSculpting might sound like you’re going to learn how to make pottery while trendy techno music blares from your speakers. While there’s nothing wrong with trying your hand at pottery, CoolSculpting is a procedure that can remove fat over time through freezing the fat cells.

     Its proper scientific name is cryolipolysis (try saying that five times fast) and is FDA approved. The treatment targets fat bulges along the abdomen, legs, beck buttocks, arms, back and love handles. Don’t worry if you think the process sounds a bit strange, but there are plenty of reasons to give it a shot and we run through the top reasons right here.

Enter, Biotulin- look young forever like Hollywood stars and royalties with the world’s supreme natural skin gel for anti-aging and wrinkle reduction.

Luminisce Exilis Elite: Achieve Slimmer, Contoured Face with Non-Invasive Procedure

     I have a round face shape and I'm insecure because I have chubby cheeks and baby fats sit in my jawline. No matter how hard I try to lose weight with proper diet and exercise, the fats in those areas are really hard to shed off. There are different factors why some women have this- genes, aging, and stress. If you have the same dilemma, fret not because there's a new procedure that will target those stubborn fats, yay!

     When it comes to skin lifting, especially for the face – it’s time to think and treat differently. Knives and needles are no longer the standards for face lifting. Exilis Elite, one of latest skin tightening technologies is now at Luminisce Skin Clinic. The procedure involves no pain, no downtime, and can be done under an hour.

Luminisce Podium Now Open + Laser Treatments for A Brighter New You!

     Last December, I visited Luminisce newest branch located at The Podium Mall. If you're a long time reader of this blog, prolly you've seen my feature of their Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment last year. I had a great experience that time considering that was my first time trying those treatments.

     Luminisce Skin and Laser Clinic is the brainchild of Dra. Kaycee Reyes. She founded this boutique clinic that aims to provide wellness, beauty, and body care through premium and innovative skin care services. I'm so excited to share with you the services I've tried last December, in time for the crazy busy season. Read more below :)

Luminisce Podium Now Open + Laser Treatments for A Brighter New You!

Feature: Skin House Revlite Laser

     Laser procedures are no longer new to me. I've tried several procedures for the face, legs, and underarms in the past months and I'm satisfied with the results. For underarm hair, I recommend Diode Laser and the newest, top-of-the-line GentleMax Pro introduced by Skin House and now widely used for effective treatment of hair. It’s fast, effective and affordable. Since underarm hair is no longer an issue, because another dilemma that has been bothering me is underarm discoloration, which I’m sure is a common issue especially moms like myself who have just given birth.

     I've been hearing positive feedbacks about Revlite Laser that's why I immediately said yes when Joanne of Skin House asked me if I want to try their Revlite Laser Treatment. They offered several sessions for the treatment because in my case, one session is not enough to see visible improvement in color and texture since the discoloration on my right underarm is really noticeable. Sharing with you information and photos of my underarms before and after the treatments below :)

Luminisce Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment Experience

     Tell me if I'm wrong but in my observation, even those who have the less problematic skin need to visit and consult a dermatologist from time to time to have their skin checked. Skin care products, skin care supplements and non-surgical treatments at home are not enough to address the issues of the skin. I cannot totally say that I have clear skin. I still suffer from breakouts from time to time especially when it's time of the month, I also have skin pigmentation that needs attention and utmost care from an expert.

     I've been reading blog posts from co-bloggers trying out Luminisce's facial care services. Reading their stories and seeing the improvements after their first session gave me the go signal to see what Luminisce has to offer. To feed my curiosity, I went to Luminisce Skin and Laser Clinic two weeks ago. So for the past 7 years I've been telling myself that those brown spots on my upper cheeks are freckles until someone enlightened me regarding my skin condition. Sharing with you below what happened during my visit at Luminisce Skin and Laser Clinic- my discoveries and services that made me decide to visit a dermatologist monthly.

Luminisce Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment Experience

     
     Luminisce Skin and Laser Clinic is very accessible by all means of land transportation. It is located at the 2nd floor of the Mercury Building in BGC and in front of St. Lukes Medical Center. These well-known landmarks made it easier for me to reach the clinic hassle-free. I was welcomed by friendly and accommodating staffs offering something to drink. The clinic is well-lit and the ambiance is very relaxing. I felt like a princess inside Luminisce because of the royalty-themed furnishings. One of the attendants handed me a form to fill-up. I wrote there everything, from my health care related history and skin concerns.

Luminisce Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment Experience

 
     My mission that day was to know the root cause of my skin pigmentation and to seek advice from an expert. I met Dr. Kaycee Reyes and learned a lot from her. She is a London-trained dermatologist and a wellness advocate. During my visit, Dr. Kaycee made an expected extensive skin analysis and enlightened me on my skin issues. I'm expecting her to tell me that I have freckles on the upper side of my cheeks and melasma. The latter is expected since someone already told me that but I was shocked when she told me that I have Hori's Nevus- also known as acquired bilateral nevus of Ota-like macules or acquired dermal melanocytosis which is common with Asians. It's my first time to hear about this skin condition. I did not panic after hearing Dra, Kaycee's explanation and listened carefully to her advice.

Luminisce Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment Experience

 
     According to her, this condition is like melasma that cannot be treated but can be managed to make them look lighter and not visible. Melasma and Hori's Nevus can present concurrently. If not given attention, the pigmentation will spread and become bigger in the long run. Hori's Nevus is challenging to treat that's why regular visits to a dermatologist is required and the recommended type of service for this is Clear Laser Treatment. For my case, I need around 4-6 sessions of Clear Laser Treatment to see maximum results.

Luminisce Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment Experience

 
     Sharing with you the Clear Laser Treatment (procedure and photos) that I've tried at Luminisce Skin and Laser Clinic below. 

A. Luxury Facial (P2,500)

    

     Luxury Facial- this is Luminisce's special facial treatment that deep cleans pores and removes bacteria-causing acne, trapped dirt, and excess oil while minimizing pores for up to 2 weeks! This is the first phase before the recommended laser treatment for my melasma and Hori's Nevus. 

1. The nurse cleansed my face and gave me a relaxing massage. But before this, I asked her if she'll be removing everything on my face. She said that eyeliner and my lip color will stay but my bb cream, tinted sunblock, and face powder will be removed. So what you'll see in the following photos below is my bare face.

2. Next step is Sonophoresis- this is a procedure where a handheld metal device runs all over my face wherein ultrasound waves seep nutrients in the skin while removing blackheads and whiteheads at the same time.

Luminisce Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment Experience

3. Then another device that uses electric currents was used to lift and revitalize the skin. There's a gauze bandage placed over my face and the device safely passes those currents onto the different parts of my face.

4. Two more metal devices run all over my face. Both also have electric currents to take out impurities, energize, and make the skin glowing and radiant.

5. The Last step for this facial is infusing oxygen onto my bare face from the oxygenating machine. This releases oxygen to hydrate the skin and pores. This is a combination of Vitamin C for lightening and Ceramide for anti-aging. After the procedure, my skin felt soft and smooth to the touch.

     Can you spot my melasma and Hori's Nevus? They're still there so the next phase of Clear Laser Treatment follows after pampering my skin with the Luxury Facial that my skin deserves. This is called clear laser peel!

Luminisce Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment Experience

B. Clear Laser Peel (P5,000)

     Clear Laser Peel-  Uses a film of carbon lotion to regenerate collagen and correct melasma, pigmentation, acne, skin tone, pore appearance, and fine wrinkles. Best of all, these procedures are done in minutes, safe for all skin types, and require ZERO downtime so you can get back to business in no time!

      In the first step, the attendant applied carbon lotion. After 10 minutes Dra, Kaycee did the laser treatment concentrating on parts of my cheeks where Hori's Nevus are located. To tell you honestly, there's a prickly sensation whenever the laser passes through those spots. It's bearable though. Basing on my experience, she used different strokes for my melasma and for the Hori's Nevus. Here's my face after the laser treatment.

Luminisce Luxury Facial and Clear Laser Treatment Experience
No makeup! Proud to have glowing skin. Thanks, Luminisce

 
     Fret not if you see redness on my face. I have thin skin and my skin is prone to redness. I noticed that after the procedure, some of the pigmentations lightened a bit. Since it was my first session, I did not expect drastic or dramatic results. Thank you so much, Dra. Kaycee Reyes for letting me try the Clear Laser Treatment and for enlightening me with melasma and Hori's Nevus. No regrets that I've trusted Luminisce Skin and Laser Clinic to try the very first laser treatment for my face to date.

     I will highly recommend Luminisce Skin and Laser Clinic if you're a newbie who wants to get informed first about your skin issues by an expert dermatologist before undergoing a non-surgical procedure or other kinds of facial treatments. No need to worry about dermatology procedure nightmares that keep you from getting the right skincare treatment that you deserve. Having good skin is an investment and in the long run, it will save hundreds and thousands of pesos from buying makeup just to cover flaws. 

Visit Luminisce Skin and Laser Clinic at 2/F Mercury Drug Bldg., 32nd St. cor. 4th Ave., Fort Bonifacio Global City, 1634 Taguig, Philippines (in front of St. Luke’s Medical Center)

ALLURA Body Contour Launch

But if you decide to lose weight and want fast results, all you need to do is to consult your friendly neighborhood cosmetic surgeon. ALLURA is where you can find the latest and most economical way of losing weight and contouring your body. More details about the services and real testimonials below :)

5. Hear the client’s success stories and testimony!

     Ara Mina and Christine Reyes, the renowned sisters in Philippine show business are just some of the living proof of how ALLURA fulfilled its promises.

ARA MINA 

     Ara Mina revealed that Thermo-lipolysis became her weight loss buddy for her quick reduction of weight. "Thermolipolysis is my favorite treatment, I lost 11 pounds in just a short period of time," shared Ara. In addition, Ara's waistline has reportedly gone from a 28 to a 25 in just a short span.

ALLURA Body Contour Launch

     Thermolipolysis is one of the famous offerings of ALLURA as it helps our clients reduce weight easily and instantly. It uses cutting-edge thermal heat and infrared technology to burn as much as 900 calories per treatment of 30 minutes. You are put inside a hi-tech "capsule," so you can literally lose weight equivalent to 3-7 km. energy expenditure of running while lying down. It actually burns as much as 900 calories per session. More than that, it increases the metabolism, reduces water retention and stimulates body circulation.

CHRISTINE REYES

     Another popular demand from ALLURA is the Radio Frequency method which effortlessly gets rid of the cellulite and local fat tissues safely. It is effective, extremely safe, painless and mild with its special cooling method, no bandage, no bruising, no bleeding and no pain. 

     This treatment was used by actress Christine Reyes to tighten her upper arms. She also used the UltraShape Machine, which destroyed fat on her tummy and flanks. 

ALLURA Body Contour Launch
Christine Reyes

     She further had Endermolgie to address her cellulite problem on her thighs. The Endermologie Machine employs vacuum energy mechanical rollers. It corrected the fat cell accumulation and too much fluid retention (edema) on her thighs.

     The UltraShape Machine is a 3-in-1 machine, that employs 1.) ultra-sound technology which causes bursting (implosion) of the fat cells of the area being treated. The 2.) suction/vacuum probe hastens lymphatic drainage of the fat cell content (fat cells when destroyed release energy to be burned) into the blood stream. 3.) The radio frequency (RF) part of the machine treatment will tighten or firm up the skin of the area being treated since the area will be losing a lot of fat tissues and it might cause the skin to loosen up.

     Meanwhile, the VASER® Shape is one of the newest trends that their clinic carries and is currently a hit with clients for its rewarding results. It is a non-surgical body-sculpting treatment that uses ultrasound and massage to treat unwanted fat and improve the appearance of cellulite. 

     With VASER® Shape, the ultrasonic therapy heats the deep layers of the skin, causing the underlying fat cells to break apart. The non-surgical body contouring massage helps the lymphatic system drain away the excess toxins and fats and increase blood circulation in the area. The VASER shape treatment reduces “pinchable” fat, tightens skin, and improves the appearance of cellulite. Many people notice tightening after their first session, and you are able to resume normal activities immediately without pain or downtime. In fact, immediate results can be seen and felt in just 1 session! 

     These treatment machines are US/Europe BFAD approved which guarantees the safeness of all our procedures. We acquired the machines from the inventor/discoverer of the technology and hence the treatments have sound scientific principles. And these technologies have made thousands of our customers realize that losing weight does not require them to starve themselves, or allot lengthy hours at the gym, or undergo those delicate bloody surgical operations because ALLURA has given them a safe and convenient alternative! 

     Other personalities such as Ryza Cenon, Rich Asuncion, MJ Marfori, Johan Santos and DJ Nicole Hyala have also testified about the effectivity of the services offered at ALLURA.

CHLOE DAUDEN, MISS WORLD PHILIPPINES 2011 (SECOND PRINCESS)

     Miss World Philippines 2011, Second Princess, Chloe Dauden announced on her Instagram post that Body Rejuve Tripollar is her favorite treatment in ALLURA. 

ALLURA Body Contour Launch
Chloe Dauden, Miss World Philippines 2011 Second Princess

     In her post online, she revealed that she is doing it at least once a week. “Body Rejuve Tripollar really helps in slimming and toning my stomach, arms and thigh.” Dauden posted. This treatment helps improve stretch marks, reduces fats in certain areas, melts cellulite and tightens skin. Same with Needle-less Mesotherapy which uses ion wave technology as it opens up the pores of the skin, giving the body time to get all the nutrients from skin care products.

CATHERYN JOY AMPARO

Cathy Amparo described ALLURA in 3 words – “AFFORDABLE EFFECTIVE & EFFORTLESS”.

     “To say thank you, just doesn’t seem enough. So please, take these words, share them with others as a testament of the results one can get. It has made a huge difference in MY life. I only hope others can feel the same”, our happy customer said. Indeed, getting a fab and fit body has been easier this time through the slew of non-invasive slimming treatments offered by ALLURA. No need to spend tiring hours at the gym or starve yourselves because at ALLURA, we promise to deliver the most ideal results in bringing out the best version of our clients.

4D Non-Surgical Facelift by Luminisce

     No matter what age you are in, it is never too late or early to be the healthiest and best version of yourself. Visible signs of aging can start when we hit our mid 20’s to early 30's. This includes loss of skin elasticity and volume resulting in sagging skin especially on the cheeks and jaw, fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, expression lines on the eyes and cheek, and more prominent nasolabial folds.

4D Non-Surgical Facelift by Luminisce
Introducing Fotona4D, A non-surgical laser face lifting machine that can rejuvenate skin and fight common signs of aging (Uneven skin tone, wrinkles, fine lines and facial sagging)

    Although Botox and Fillers are first in-mind when it comes to non-surgical anti-aging treatments, there are patients who are not comfortable with the idea of injections and want the least invasive procedure.

Painless procedure with same anti-aging effect as Botox and fillers and no down-time

     Fotona 4D, the latest technology for non-surgical rejuvenation and facelift is now in the Philippines. The great novelty of Fotona 4D is its four-dimensional approach. It is the first anti-aging laser treatment that includes a painless intra-oral approach to stimulate the production of collagen around the mouth, nasolabial area, cheeks, and lower face from the inside out.

Feature: The Skin Specialist's Erase Laser

     Hello dearies! I know you're still on Christmas high after the parties, reunions and gathering that you've been. It's been a month of late nights for me as I'm finishing backlogs and running errands while experiencing holiday rush including shopping in between. I'm stressed lately and it shows how my skin looks like these past few days.

     My skin is acting up, zits are popping up on my chin and on my cheeks. I know that after a week, the redness and itchiness will subside but the post acne marks will remain. Since I have a fair skin, dark pimple marks are pretty obvious. Whitening skin care products will do the job but it takes a month or more before achieving maximum results. New year is just 5 days away and the only thing I know that will give an instant result in lightening pimple marks is the Erase Laser by The Skin Specialist. I'm so excited try this pigment lightening machine on my stubborn freckles and dark marks but for now let me share with you information about the first Erase Laser in the country brought to us by The Skin Specialist.

The Skin Specialist's Rediscover Natural Beauty Press Launch

     We all want to age gracefully that's why a lot of us are seeking for that elixir of life. A potion or something that will delay the aging process. I've heard so many stories from my friends and relatives who are using anti-aging skin care products as early as 25 in order for them to slow down aging process. Some of my friends seek my advice because they say I don't look my age. I'm happy that even if I'm already in my early 30's aging has not taken it's toll on me yet. I can suggests anti-aging skin care products but not all will work as easy as that. We have different skin types and sometimes in order to address the issue we need to take skin care to the next level. So when I was invited by Fuentes Manila to the launch of The Skin Specialist's Rediscover Natural Beauty last May 27 at The Society Lounge, I said yes without a doubt because I want to discover the latest treatments when it comes to skin aging.

     I attended a very intimate event last Tuesday and that event made the scorching weather a lot hotter! Nisce Skin 'N Face launched their Superblock spf 80 and the Non-Surgical RF Treatment that's timely for the summer season. Sunblock and sunscreen is a must especially when you stay most of your time outdoors. Aside from this, they also introduced two Lukes- Luke Landrigan and Luke Jickain as their newest brand ambassadors. The program was hosted by Ms. Zsa Salazar (Pr for Nisce).
