Here’s an update on a brilliant progress! Permanent Hair Removal + IPL Acne Facial treatment

December 6, 2011 by thejessicat

 

 

Since many of you have been asking, here's a post to update you on my progress of the IPL treatment!

Remember the previous entry I wrote about here and here about my sessions at My Body Secrets?

 

Those were only the first few treatments that you saw. Now I'm almost to the end of the package!

 

4th session

Only a few zits on my cheek! 😀

 

I must say, even at the 4th session, it did improve quite a fair bit!

My complexion used to be way worse. As of now, I'm only battling scars and occasional zits phew! It may not show well in photos but I was never blessed with flawless complexion at all. Bummer!

 

My Body Secrets always gives your face a thorough cleanse at every session

 

See the zits on my cheeks? IPL helps to kill all the bacteria causing acne problems!

 

After the session in the changing room!

You can actually see the scars and open pores I have on my face in the above photo 🙁

 

Two weeks later, I came round again for my 5th session.

My Body Secrets recommends 2 weeks at least for the skin to regenerate and the cells to do their magic!

 

Ya gotta change into the treatment robe before all sessions

 

Session 5

My complexion is slowly getting better, except for zits that attack me every now and then!

 

The light rays didn't make me twitch or cause as much discomfort anymore because a rubber roller was used

Don't get me wrong. IPLdoesn't hurt, it's just this jolt of light that makes your body go WOOOH!

 

This time round, My Body Secrets staff used the rubber roller thingy on my face before every few shots

It did help heaps! Apart from the cooling gel they apply generously on your face, the rubber roller cools down the skin surface and soothesit from the light rays 🙂

 

Much better now 😀

 

My skin is almost clear. Yippee!

 

Today, after 2-3 weeks, I went for my last session 😀 😀

After getting changed and my face washed by the friendly staff, it was time to do the final shots

 

Session 6

The cooling gel was applied on my face like mayonaise to a hotdog LOL!

 

To be honest, my complexion is noticably clearer and brighter.

It is much softer too.. also due to those products I was recommended (Blogged about in the first post!)

 

This time, they used a much more advanced roller to calm the skin before the lightshot

It was a metal/steel roller which is much bigger! 😀 I like it!

 

This session caused me no discomfort at all. Pretty damn good, I must say!

Lucky you! When you go for your sessions, it will hardly have any sensation 😉

 

They applied the Rehydrating Oxy Mask (which I've also shown you in the first post!) on my face after the session. As the skin's absorption rate rises after the IPL treatment – due to active cells – they recommended I apply this mask to restore my skin's hydration 🙂

 

H20, come at me! 😀

 

Then, they applied a double mask on top of it

 

Haha this photo is pretty freaky I know!

The 2nd cooling mask was so cold and so soothing 😀 😀

 

They left me mask-ed for half an hour.

But since I was rushing for an appointment, they were smart enough to do the IPL Underarm Permanent Hair Removal for me while waiting for the mask to be finished 🙂

 

My 3rd session for the underarms!

Begone with you, hair! 

 

The underarms made such a brilliant progress! I used to pluck my underarm hair twice a week because I just hated the sight of any hair growing there at all.

 

Ya know the saying "Putcha hands up in the air!!"?

Can't really do that with liberation if there's icky hair there, right? Gross.

 

But now, at the 3rd session, I only need to pluck it once a month! Excellent!

Can't wait for it to be completely gone  

 

Thank you, My Body Secrets for the amazing and effective sessions!! 😀 😀

 

When I was back in Penang to visit during the weekend, my parents mentioned, "Jess, your complexion improved so much!". I was over the moon upon hearing that 😀 😀 Shows that it is really proven effective yay!

 

I can finally say goodbye to my acne-prone skin

 

There, a clearer photo for you of my naked complexion

 

Fortunately, the promo price for the package of 5 sessions is still on! Here's the detals:

Don't say I didn't tell you about this okay! And at the end of your sessions, I know you'll thank me for your hairless body and fabulous complexion 😀 Teehee!

YAY a step closer to awesome skin! Acne Treatment via Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) at My Body Secrets

October 19, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Remember my previous post on the Permanent Hair Removal treatment for underarms and other bodily hair?

That's not all. The wonders of IPL by My Body Secrets has impressed me once again.

 

Since it's proven effective for Acne problems too, I thought I'd also give this a try.

Who doesn't want better skin, right? Here's how it works :

 

 

IPL Acne Therapy is an effective new light-based therapeutic therapy is now revolutionizing the treatment of acne. The IPL Acne Therapy destroys the most common bacteria that cause acne — without drugs, without pain and without downtime. 

IPL, “Intense Pulse Light” is one of the safest acne treatments available…proven to be extremely effective on moderate inflammatory acne. Its technology uses light that is UV-safe and has no known side effects. 

 

I wouldn't actually consider myself having bad acne at the moment.

But liike many adolescents, I've always been battling acne back in my teenaged years. So it left many scars till now, and still enduring the slightly-more-than-occasional pimple popping up here and there. SO ANNOYING!! 

 

Session 1

 

Yes I know, barenaked face completely without make up so unglam and ugly.

But I'm still showing you anyway for the purpose of this blogpost 🙂

 

First, they will wash my face, pat it dry and apply a cold gel on my face with a brush before the IPL treatment

 

Session 2

 

The IPL treatment on my face was an equally fast and pain-free experience.

I generally have a high threshold of pain (6 piercings, 4 tattoos and counting!) but you should be just as fine.

 

It is just a slightly warm/hot sensation when the light penetrates your face 🙂

Not exactly painful at all if you ask me – it'll be over in less than 10 minutes!

 

Washwash! 🙂 My Body Secrets girls are very professional and accommodating too

'

As I had been really busy even back in Malaysia and had been away for a month in Australia recently, I wasn't able to be disciplined enough to go as often as every week as I ought to.   Hence why the results weren't as obvious as the underarm one.

So remember, when you begin this, you should commit to your sessions either weekly or fortnightly (as recommended by the therapist, as everyone's skin is different)

 

Session 3!

 

Now that I'm back in Malaysia, I shall be more disciplined to attend my sessions every week and update you guys on the progress/results! 😀 😀 😀 

Oh and after you've done the IPL on your face, your facial skin will be slightly more sensitive and its absorption rate will be higher (so avoid direct sunlight for a week!).

So obviously, you would want to use better products on your face to quicken your progress 🙂

It's not a must, but highly recommended if you want to see 100% results. I'll highlight the ones I'm using!

 

Cleansing Milk (for mature/aged/dry skin)
Foaming Cleanser (for acne/oily skin)

 

Green Herbal Tonic Lotion (for acne/oily skin)

Pink Tonic Lotion (for mature/aged/dry skin)

 

That's for Cleanse and Tone, now on to the extras!

Here are the ones available, I'll show you my faves 😀 😀

 

Ta-daa! The range.

 

Maja International is an Australian brand which focuses on herbal ingredients + scientific formulas.

Go check 'em out if you want, I've linked their name to their website for yall to see.

 

Double Action Oxygel with Sunscreen (for normal to mature/dry skin)

Rehydrating Oxy Mask (for mature/dry skin)

 

Guava Facial Scrub (for all skin types)

*bestseller* Green Purifiying Face Mask (for normal to oily/acne-prone skin)

 

And these final two are my favorites!!

They work wonders on my skin :D

 

Triple Action Oxygel (it is tinted too, so I hardly use foundation anymore – this works perfectly!)

*bestseller* Oxygel (helps healing of acne scars & has anti-inflammatory properties!)

 

So far, it has only been my 3rd session.

Can't wait to see the progress of my skin and its improvements – will definitely share again once I'm done!

 

My Body Secrets is currently having a promotion!

First trial is RM38.

 

If you like it and want to continue, you can opt to sign up a package –

 

RM400 for 5 sessions instead of the original price of RM1200.

Quickly book your appointment before the promo ends!

 

You can now pay by instalments and if you're a student, you are entitled for a student price! 😀

 

Call +603-6142-4898 to ask any further questions or check out their Facebook page for more information

 

I will be going for my 4th session next Monday

It’s super effective! Permanent hair removal via Intense Pulse Light (IPL) technology at My Body Secrets

October 12, 2011 by thejessicat


 

Guess what I have been undergoing for the past month? It's this technology called the IPL treatment


Like many girls out there, I've always wanted permanent hair removal – EVERYWHERE.

Underarms, legs, pubes, wherever there is unsightly hair. You name it & we want it gone.

 

Blame the female race for making it a major faux pas to have bushythick canopies of hair.

Why isit a BIG no-no?



You have your answer right there.


So, I began searching for a good, effective IPL treatment (and one that actually works & doesn't burn a big hole in my wallet!) and after much surveying around beauty centres, I found the best one of the lot!! 

 

I found that My Body Secrets offers IPL treatments for hair removal (underarm, legs, pubes.. etc) and most importantly?

They guarantee results in their package of 5 sessions.


Me undergoing my 1st session 


Don't know what IPL is?

It's short for Intensive Pulsed Light which is a technology aimed at producing light of high intensity during a very short period of time that can be used to permanently reduce the total number of body hairs in a certain desired region of your body.


My Body Secrets always recommend wearing sunglasses/protective goggles

to ensure that the light does not enter the eyes


I have already undergone 3 out of 5 sessions and I'm very happy with the results thus far!

 

My hair is now so fine and I can hardly see it 'cos it hardly grows anymore.  SO OVERJOYED!

In fact, after the 2nd session I can already begin to see excellent results. Yup, it's that effective!! 


Taken during my 2nd session last week


Prior to this IPL treatment, I usually shave/pluck/wax once or twice a week 'cos I hate the sight of ANY hair on me (besides the ones on my head of course).

Best part was, after the 2nd session, I did not shave nor pluck any hair off my underarms for A WHOLE MONTH because there were hardly any hair growing! What's there to pluck, man?


Almost hairless already, only after the 2nd session!

Will definitely update you guys again after my 5 sessions are completed.

Though I can safely say I do not need to trouble myself to wax/shave/pluck anymore! 


Oh and My Body Secrets is currently having promotions for a limited time.

 

1. Their first trial is only RM45 now!

2. Promo price is now 60% off the original price of RM2000 for 5 sessions

3. You can pay by instalments for your package

4. There's a student price too! 

Call +603-6142-4898 to ask any further questions or check out their Facebook page for more information

 

It's super-worth it and effective! Go and experience it for yourself, okay?

Trust me, it works! I am personally undergoing it myself and I can definitely testify that it does wonders! 


 Fun Facts 

IPL hair removal is cheaper and faster than laser hair removal

IPL can also be used as a skin treatment 

 

Skin treatment? Yup, that's what I'm undergoing too. Find out more in my subsequent post! 🙂 But for now,

Quickly call them and enquire about their IPL hair removal promotions/package & you can finally……

 

SAY BYE-BYE TO YOUR DISGUSTING BODILY HAIR ANYWHERE!

I mean it!
