Cathy Valencia treatments and products(thread II)

[mhy_pie03]

Oo nga po. Ano yung evian? Parang aquaphor ba yun kaso non-greasy? Hayzzz di ko talaga alam kung itutuloy ko pa yung akin. Sa mga nabasa ko sa ibang sites supposedly talaga less painful lang dapat kaso bakit ganun parang kulang kulang sila sa gamot etc.

[gelcy]

sophie, mag ponstan ka nalang before the procedure. ako nag take ako kaya medyo tolerable [textspeak!] pain. goodluck! kaya mo yan ;-)

[mhy_pie03]

Ilang hours before ang pag-inom ng painkiller? Tsaka ilang oras ba dapat nasa mukha yung numbing cream? Kasi sabi ni doc yung iba raw 4 hours before naka-numbing cream eh nung tinanong ni mommy yung therapist kung gaano katagal naglast yung cream sabi 3 hours lang. Nakakaloka mga sagot nila.

[Kim AH]

Sis mocha1209 yeah I'm using evian na, hehe spray lang ng spray. I'm using nivea sunscreen with spf50  .

Sis Gelcy, you can buy it in watsons even in mercury drugs, its like water with moisturizer, fresh ang feeling   I have some zits sa forehead and I'm using Retin A from mexico., that's the only thing I used when we were in South America for almost a year.Hindi ko na binlii yung prescription na meds nung doctor. I'm sorry to hear that sis, maybe minimize you ang paggamit ng meds nila, instead of everyday, maybe every other day or twice a week. Katakot kasi  meds ng CV no labels, you dont know kung anung meron. It's my 11th day now sis, back to normal ang face ko,no redness, no roughness, smooth lang. Next session ko is on last week of July. Goodluck to us.   

[gelcy]

sophie, mga 30mins  before the time uminom nako kaso [textspeak!] dra late ng 1hr so nagwait pako ng 1hr and 30 mins before ako na laser. i think nag effect pa naman siya.

kim H, hahanap nga ako ng aquaphor sa sm if meron para stop ko ko na meda ni cv. sis yung evian ba na sinasabi mo [textspeak!] sa spray spray? same ba to sa water na evian?

[mhy_pie03]

^sis may nabilan akong aquaphor online. Hopefully mareceive ko na siya bukas. Gusto mo pm ko sayo?

[gelcy]

thanks sophie, order ko nalang siya pagbalik ko manila. nagcheck ako sa healthy option kanina walang aquaphor. so i guess 1 week ko pa gagamitin meds ni cv kasi sunday pko makakauwi. isip ko nga if pwede ba petroleum gamitin? same lang ba yun with aquaphor?

[vain]

^same here! that's why I started with the soaps lang muna cause that's the only product of theirs na may ingredient's list and available dito. I"m using a lot of brands and baka may bad reaction if I add their creams on top of that. It would really help sana if they disclosed contents, if it really is all organic yung whitening products dba?

I'm just really hesitant cause I had a friend in highschool who was using this popular cream then, and she got so fair like 3 shades lighter in 8 weeks. she kept using without knowing na may steroids pala yun kasi the box said "natural" lightener din. when she stopped cause of health concerns, her skin became so blotchy and easily sunburned/hyperpigmented na kaloka.

yung belowhite cream nga may steroids but at least they really tell you honestly to just use it for 3 weeks then take a break. pero it's also possible that the employee that someone asked from CV before just didn't know the ingredients list too that's why she just told the client "it's all organic" lol I'm sure if you really ask someone, management maybe? they might tell you kung ano contents napakabizarre na man if they would rather lose a buyer rather than give out the ingredients, and I'd be so scared of buying na din if that were to happen. medyo shady na eh

parehas tayo sis. i am also trying out their soap. maganda kasi reviews. but the other products, very skeptical ako. kasi naman, why not disclose their ingredients? tinatago lang naman pag hindi maganda diba? plus, they don;t tell you what most of the products are for. ang dami dami pa naman. confusing na tuloy.

[Akhiko]

thanks sophie, order ko nalang siya pagbalik ko manila. nagcheck ako sa healthy option kanina walang aquaphor. so i guess 1 week ko pa gagamitin meds ni cv kasi sunday pko makakauwi. isip ko nga if pwede ba petroleum gamitin? same lang ba yun with aquaphor?

I think pwede sis gelcy kc base sa naresearch ko yung active ingredient ng aquaphor is petrolatum which is nasa petroleum jelly din, then yung inactive ingredients nya is mineral oil,ceresin,lanolin alcohol...actually naghanap ako ng Vaseline kaso wala siya in any drugstore even sa Watson wala din daw meron silang ibang petroleum jelly kaya naghanap na lang ako ng unscented na petroleum kasi pare pareho lang din naman yung brand name lang daw naman ang pinagkaiba tas tinignan ko na Lang din yung ingredients actually yun na nga ginamit ko today cetaphil + hydrocortisone +petroleum+ sunblock SPF 50 then nitong evening and now bedtime hindi ko na ginamit yung hydrocortisone yung cetaphil,petroleum, na lang then ngaung huling wash ko ng face ko Hindi na siya masakit tas maayos na siya nagpepeel lumambot na kasi yung balat almost pawala na nga yata kasi medyo lumambot face ko tas smooth na siya nang konti not like before nung ginagamit ko yung gamot ng CV hindi ko na kasi talaga kinaya yung sakit,,and imagine mataas pa pain tolerance ko pero hindi ko talaga kinaya hapdi dun sa meds nila..

[Kim AH]

Hi Gelcy, I guess you can order it online for like 850 pesos, wala kasi dito sa Pinas..  Nagpabii na lang ako kay hubby sa US. Yeah yung evian spray yun.  Iba yung sa spray and sa drinking water nila.  and I used vaseline petroleum for couple of days kasi wala pang aquaphor.

Hi Miss Akhiko, I'm happy na medyo okay na face mo just using those products. Yun lang naman talaga ang kailangan. 

[gelcy]

akhiko, sige try ko petroleum gamitin paguwi ko na sunday. grabe nga hindi ko maiwasan maarawan and mapawisan. the weird thing is kapag gising ko sa am ok na face ko, if nilagyan ko ng meds ni cv mag red ulit.

kim ah, sige i will try to use [textspeak!] mga readily available muna. sa next laser ko if tagal pa din heal papabili nako :-) if petroleum pala gamit nito so hindi na kayo lumalabas ng house? diba sobrang sticky yun?

[Kim AH]

Gelcy, if you're going to use petroleum you have to change your pillow case every night to prevent infection and siyempre kasi nga sobrang sticky yung petroleum, so hindi talaga ako lumabas literally for 7 days. 

[Akhiko]

Oo miss gelcy sobrang sticky  nga siya kaya mahirap talaga lumabas. pero sobrang ok naman sya actually pang 2days ko palang siyang ginagamit today pero sobrang ok na ng face ko parang Kahit hindi na Nga lagyan ng gamot ok lang sobrang smooth nya pagkagising ko kanina tas yung pagbabalat niya konti na lang tas hindi na rin talaga ganun kahapdi feeling ko bumalik na siya sa normal niya at sobrang smooth niya kaya lalo akong nanghinayang sa meds na binili ko sa CV pero thankful na din akong ok na face ko ngaun kaya sa second session ko talaga di na ako kakagat sa mga pakulo nila napakasimple lang pala gamot dami pa nila binigay

Miss kim h thank you din po talaga sa mga advise na binigay mo ngaun ok na face ko sobrang nakahinga na ako maluwag kasi kala ko talaga masisira na ng meds nila yung mukha ko..ngaun alam ko na yung mga meds kaya handa na ako for the next session ko this coming end of the month db end of the month din yung 2nd session mo??

[gelcy]

kim ah, sige nga try ko next session ko to use petroleum. any brand ba ok lang? now kasi dami ko need gawin, next session ko petroleum na gagamitin ko :-)

akhiko, ako din nanghinayang sobra sa gamot tpos parang d pa ako hiyang. lalo nag red face ko everytime i used cv meds. hay! sayang talaga pera.

[Kim H]

Miss Akhiko, no problem, I'm happy to help. Sana 2nd session naten I hope mas my magandang result. Yeah, end of the month din yung sched ko. 

Gelcy, Yeah you can use any brand as long as it contains petrolatum 

[tboupt27]

mga sis kelangan ba pimple free kapag ginawa yung Whitening Pore Cleansing plus RF? i have mild acne plus may mga deep scars (less than 10) saka big pores ako e gusto ko sana mawala. tia!

[fashionista84]

^did you buy other products pa ba aside dun sa meds mo? Ako i bought their hydrawhite lotion for the body naman. Isip ko kasi mamaya hindi pantay sa body yung face. Nag whiten na ba face mo sis? Ako feeling ko in terms of whitening minimal effect lang talaga, that is kung meron man, ang result niya is more on naging glowing and healthy yung face ko.

^sis, effective yung hydrawhite lotion sa body?

[nageinna]

^hi sis, hmm i cant say na may drastic effect. kung may whitening man very minimal lang. but i love the lotion naman silky yung finish niya. yun nga lang super costly so i dont think i'll be repurchasing again after i finished this bottle

[beady]

I availed their 30% discount today in their morato branch, pero mid aug ko pa isstart yung session for whitening peel. gusto ko din kasi gumamit ng obagi, for pimples naman, is it ok to use together with their meds? pero ang nasabi hi jackie dun, after peeling pimples will be lessen daw talaga, as in noticeable difference from before, is this true??

[Newlife]

i was able to buy lipo cav vouchers ng Cathy Valencia.. has anybody tried their lipo cav? effective ba? 6 sessions binili ko... may nabili din ako na 2 sessions ng facial plus RF sa face.

haaaayyy.. sana ay hindi ito money wasted.. sana effective..

Hi sis, do u start already? Effective ba?
I want to avail kasi
