All about Facials - Thread 2

i tried skin101 last saturday.  Their diamond peel (w/ cleaning and glycolic) is worth Php1,000 then the 2nd session is free (parang buy 1 take 1 pero you can't just buy 1 session for 500. kailangan yung 2 session package).

it was my first time to try.  mukhang ok naman. the therapist told me to come back after 2 weeks. 

kakainis lang, when i called them to schedule my "take 1" appointment, the girl who answered the phone didn't want to schedule my session.  first come first serve daw.  i became confused kasi i was able to schedule my first appointment w/ them over the phone w/ no problem tapos porke't yung take 1 session na yung iavail ko di na pwede magpa schedule? i still paid for the service naman so bakit iba ang treatment sa client?

sayang.  akala ko pa naman nakahanap na ako ng easy on the wallet na facial place.  easy on the wallet, sakit naman sa ulo.

I have availed an acne package from a newly-discovered clinic named CARE TO BARE. Their modern-technology facial treatment is called AQUAPEEL. It sucks all white/blackheads and other impurities while the machine secretes liquid solutions as it glides your face. Technically it's painless if you are pimple-free. As for me, there's pain whenever it sucks the areas where it has pimples. Pero overall, there was an improvement since included in the package is an IPL session. And it is not the typical type wherein it only targets specific area. Their IPL session targets the entire face kaya sulit na sulit. There's also an optional pricking for acnes that need extraction. Sana magclear na talaga para aquapeel nalang gagawin ko every now and then.

I have my facial twice sa Skin101 and so far I can't say anything. They're way too nice, considering na student ako, and very friendly ang staff nila. I availed their Acne Control Facial for 300 pesos only, at first duda ako kung bakit ang mura compared to other clinics, but i can say it's worth it for a cheap price. It includes brush, massage, steam, and laser. And for acne injections, i think it was 50 pesos per injection. So if you're looking for a cheap but affordable facial, try Skin 101, reasonable ang prices nila.
I go at their SM Annex branch beside Skinstation.

My favorite is Bioessence Diamond Peel. I miss it so much but since I am pregnant, I can't have it for now.

Ngayon lang ako nakalog ulit. tama nga si sis mizteaza sa sinabi nya at kapareho mo ko ng concern sis pretty_b. haha! kelangan talagang pagkagastusan at pag ipunan ang treatments. minsan lang mabuhay kaya gawin na ang ikasasaya. hehe. ang mahal nga lang sa belo at ang layo samin kaso sa kanila talaga ako satisfied. living proof naman yung mga artistang nagpupunta sa kanila.

[pretty_B]

^haha. di talaga kaya ng budget ko sis ang belo naun eh. baka magpa-facial muna ako sa iba this week.

[maen_she23]

I had my facial done at Bioessence. I must say it was the best I've experienced so far. Relaxing din kasi may face and neck massage. And also may glow 2 days after ng facial. Definitely going back in a few weeks.

[green-aholic]

naku pretty_b wala nga din akong budget ngayun! haha.. ok din ba sa dermcare ang facial?

[pretty_B]

^haha. apir tayo jan sis! idk eh. i havent tried dermcare. but my cousin loves their cream. whitening cream yung ginagamit nya and effective naman daw kasi nagppeel talaga. i want to try their facial. meron sila sa may guada. im torn between dermcare and dermstrata.

sisters, ano na ba rate ng dermstrata naun re acne/pimple facial treatment or kahit yung cleaning lang? thanks!

[maen_she23]

Mga sisses, how long is the recommended interval for a facial. I had my facial 2 weeks ago and gustong ko sana bumalik ulit. Also, sabi nung nasa bioessence sa akin, weekly daw dapat facial? Parang sobra yata yun? Watchathink?

[mhy_pie03]

I think 2 weeks at the least kasi pag weekly bugbog na mukha mo nun. Parang walang recovery period. Pera pera lang sa iba kaya gusto madalas ang punta.

[lionheart2010]

I just realized na may deep pimple scars ako sa nose. Di naman sya marks pero parang small craters? And visible sya upclose. So baka never na ako magpaprick pag napapafacial. Tanong ko lang is, how to permanently remove them? Akala ko dati open pores pero hindi pala eh...

[mhy_pie03]

Damaged collagen na yan. Ako rin maraming ganyan sa nose kasi makulit kamay ko. Huhuhu!
I have tried c02 Fractional laser sa cathy valencia noon lumiit pores at ibang dents like your description. Since di ko na tinapos yung last 2 sessions, I believe mga 3 sessions or more para mawala ng tuluyan. Basta mga microneedling procedure nalang talaga yung ganyan para magregenerate ulit yung skin. Or deep chemical peeling kaso mas matagal downtime nun kesa sa laser.

[lionheart2010]

Thanks sis. Gaano katagal downtime ng c02 Fractional laser?
Pati yung usual downtime ng other needling procedures?

[mhy_pie03]

Sa akin about a week or 2. Depende rin sa clinic eh. Kasi medyo walang maayos na briefing doon sa cathy kaya di ko na tinapos. Doon sa pinagtanungan ko halos ganun din daw mga one week pero meron daw silang serum na kasama na sa package para di halata yung pagiging flaky. Meron naman sa isa pang clinic skinstation collagenesis naman tawag mas mura mura kesa fractional pero for not so deep scars yan.

[lionheart2010]

Ah ok. Malabo tuloy ako sa ganyan kasi may work ako. Afford ko lang downtime is 2-3 days during off from work. Hayyyy. Thanks sis!

[mhy_pie03]

Problema ko rin yan eh pero yung binanggit ko na may serum ok daw yun kasi may stem cell serum na ipapahid para hindi halata. Yun sabi nila.

I just wanna share my experience with acne breakouts. I had an acne breakout last January. nagstart siya talaga January on my forehead. tapos kahit anong gawin ko, magpafacial, creams etc.. kahit gaano kamahal na cream and facial. bumabalik pa din. tapos nagkaroon na din sa cheeks ko. haaaay. super nandiri ako sa mukha ko nun. as in to the point na ayoko na tingnan face ko sa mirror. yung acne ko super maliit na dikit digit dikit talaga. tapos nasa loob yung laman. meaning, hindi kita yung "nana". mga twice a month ako nagpapafacial. i spent 4-5 hours sa facial center ko just to clear out my face from acne. as in sobrang laki ng nagastos ko para sa acne ko. mga 6 months ako nagtiis sa acne ko. as in gusto ko ng umiyak. kasi grabe yung nangyari sakin. kahit ano gawin, bumabalik parin talaga. tapos mga mid march pumunta ako sa gynecologist and she recommended dianne35 (contraceptive pills) kasi baka daw hormonal imbalance na. she said mga 3 months ko inumin yung dianne35 everyday. tuloy tuloy. so nagstart ako uminom ng dianne 35. tapos august 2013 ayun paisa isa nalang pimple ko. minsan 3. minsan 5. pero atleast may improvement. hanggang ayun. ngayon super okay na. hindi na ako nagkaka-acne breakout ng bonggang bongga. tapos ko na yung 4th banig ko ng dianne35. at ngayon, hindi na talaga bumalik yung acne ko. i think, kahit sa pinakamagaling at pinakamahal na facial center ka pumunta at gaano kadami kamahal o kagaling yung creams na nilalagay mo, kung mismong nasa katawan mo talaga. wa-epek talaga mga facial centers. baka hormonal imbalance na yan. try to go to your gynecologist. baka hormonal imbalance na yan. pero sabi ng gynecologist ko, paigtinigil ko daw bigla yung dianne35 may chances na magrebounce. meaning, pagtinigil mo biglaan yung dianne35 baka bumalik ulit acne. kaya until now umiinom parin ako dianne35

i just had my first ever acne control facial in Flawless last Saturday.
Right now, I'm having breakouts. I think I have 2-4 pimples in my cheek and forehead. The doctor recommended me to use their erythromycin solution, she said it is an antibiotic.
Girls, it is normal to have breakouts after having your first facial?
Nakakdismaya lang 

Baka naman nagkaroon ka after facial or during facial may mens ka. Kasi ako nagpafacial din sa Flawless ng Acne Control and first time ko rin pero wala namang mga big pimples. Wala ring small. Nag-avail din kasi ako ng package nila for acne prevention. yung mga toner, sabon at sun block. So far maganda naman ang effect sakin kasi feeling ko makinis yung face ko lalo na sa umaga kapag gumagamit ako nung sun block nila tapos nagpupulbos ako. Ang lamig sa pakiramdam.

[mhy_pie03]

^Kaso sis parang pills ba yan? Ako may tinetake rin aside from the facial package na meron ako pero skinb5 naman. Vitamin B5 supplement siya kaya okay lang kahit forever ko inumin. Halos parang 5 years ng on and off pimples ko. Ngayon ngayon medyo nagdry na rin halos. Problema ko marks. Alam ko yung feeling ng ayaw ng tumingin sa salamin.
