<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">The oxygen facial has long been a pre-event essential for those in the know. Celebrated for its ability to instantly brighten, hydrate, and plump the skin without any downtime, it has built a loyal following among anyone who needs their complexion looking its best at short notice.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">So when Her World Spa and Hair Awards reviewer Angela Guo walked into medical aesthetics clinic&nbsp;<a class="_externalLinks_wioo3_126" href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><u>IDS Aesthetics</u></a>&nbsp;for the&nbsp;<a class="_externalLinks_wioo3_126" href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/ids-o2-opulence-o2o" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">O2 Opulence (O2O) with Intraceuticals treatment</a>&nbsp;&ndash; recognised as Best Red-Carpet Glow Facial at this year&rsquo;s Spa Awards &ndash; she came in curious.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&ldquo;I was intrigued to learn that it is sought after for achieving a radiant, luminous glow and creating a perfect canvas for makeup,&rdquo; she shares, along with the skin concerns she wanted to address, including clogged pores and dryness.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="the-deep-dive" class="_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1">The deep dive</h2>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">Each session of the IDS O2 Opulence treatment starts with a double cleanse to remove makeup, grime, and sunscreen. This is followed by microdermabrasion &ndash; a technique that uses gentle suction to lift away build-up and refine texture, rather than a traditional physical exfoliator.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">By clearing away dead skin cells and surface congestion, this step creates a smoother, more receptive canvas for the active ingredients that follow. Mild extractions come next &ndash; a step Angela found far more comfortable than expected.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>

</figure>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">Then came the star step of the treatment: the infusion of the Opulence serum, delivered deep into the skin via a pressurised oxygen applicator. Applied in light, sweeping motions across the face, the cool mist-like stream gives the treatment its signature sensorial appeal and, as Angela shares, felt &ldquo;light, airy and completely painless&rdquo;.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">The serum comprises low-weight hyaluronic acid for hydration, salicylic acid to gently exfoliate and help decongest clogged pores, and sodium ascorbyl phosphate (a form of Vitamin C) to brighten and deliver antioxidant protection &ndash; leaving skin feeling hydrated, refined, and visibly brighter.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">Red LED light therapy follows to support recovery and circulation, before the treatment is sealed with moisturiser and sunscreen.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="star-treatment" class="_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1">Star treatment</h2>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">Gentle enough for sensitive skin, the O2 Opulence with Intraceuticals treatment works equally well as a standalone treat or a pre-event essential for those who need their skin looking its best with no recovery time.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">Angela&rsquo;s results were immediate: skin that looked visibly brighter and more luminous the moment she left the treatment room &ndash; with no redness or downtime to contend with.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&ldquo;My skin stayed radiant and clear for days,&rdquo; Angela noted. She also observed an improvement in the appearance of her acne scars &ndash; something she hadn&rsquo;t anticipated, and a testament to the Opulence serum&rsquo;s brightening and resurfacing effects beyond delivering an immediate glow.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&ldquo;Overall, it was a wonderful pampering experience that felt both comfortable and effective,&rdquo; Angela concludes. The event-ready glow, it turns out, is more accessible than you&rsquo;d think.</p>

[Her World Spa & Hair Awards 2026] Wake up dull, tired skin: The oxygen facial that delivers lasting glow

<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/HerWorld%20Spa%20Award%202026%20Onda.png" alt="" /></p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">If you&rsquo;ve noticed your jawline looking less defined, or a bit more fullness under the chin, these changes can soften the structure of the face &ndash; blurring contours and making features appear less defined over time.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">At&nbsp;<a class="_externalLinks_wioo3_126" href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><u>IDS Aesthetics</u></a>, treatments are designed with these gradual shifts in mind, focusing on bringing back facial definition without surgery or downtime. One such treatment is the <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/onda-pro-3in1-face-neck-double-chin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Onda Pro 3-in-1 (Face, Neck &amp; Double Chin)</a>, recognised as Best Face-Defining Treatment at the Her World Spa and Hair Awards 2026.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">Working beneath the surface across three key zones of the face, the treatment delivers controlled microwave energy deep into the skin. Microwave energy operates at a frequency that allows it to bypass the skin&rsquo;s surface and target deeper tissue layers directly &ndash; heating fat cells to help break them down while triggering the skin&rsquo;s natural collagen response.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">The result: stubborn fat, loose skin and loss of facial structure are all addressed simultaneously, in a single session.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="a-non-invasive-way-to-sculpt-your-face" class="_subHeading1_1k87u_111 _base_1k87u_1">A non-invasive way to sculpt your face</h2>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">What makes Onda Pro 3-in-1 particularly versatile is its system of three specialised handpieces, each designed to work at a different depth.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">For this treatment, two are deployed: one targets deeper fat layers to address stubborn deposits around the lower face and chin, while a second, smaller handpiece works closer to the surface for skin tightening across the lower face, chin and neck.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">Each session begins with a consultation, during which the therapist assesses the face to map out a personalised approach. After identifying which applicator should be used on which areas, a double cleanse prepares the skin for the treatment.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">For Her World Spa and Hair Awards reviewer Moh Shuying, who came in with some sagging along the lower face, the experience felt largely comfortable.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&ldquo;I was informed that I might feel a slight aching in the mouth and jawline afterwards, but the treatment itself was very comfortable and quite painless,&rdquo; she shares.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">A built-in cooling mechanism, which works in tandem with the microwave energy to keep the heat level manageable was activated promptly whenever Shuying flagged even the slightest discomfort.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">To end the session, a hydrating, brightening and anti-ageing face and neck sheet mask was applied for 10 minutes before skincare was layered on.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">She was also advised to stay hydrated after the treatment to support the body&rsquo;s natural lymphatic drainage processes.</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12"><strong>&ldquo;</strong>After the treatment, my jawline looked significantly more lifted and my skin less loose,&rdquo; Shuying says, and that was just the beginning for her. &ldquo;The results looked even better a week after&rdquo;.&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">&nbsp;</p>
<p class="_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12">Beyond the immediate lift, the Onda Pro 3-in-1 (Face, Neck &amp; Double Chin) also helps to improve skin texture and definition over time, as collagen and elastin production continues to build in the weeks following each session. For optimal outcomes, monthly sessions are recommended.</p>

<p>From sagging skin to a double chin, this treatment addresses multiple facial concerns during one session, with no downtime needed</p>

[Her World Spa & Hair Awards 2026] Lift, firm and contour with this multi-targeting, face-defining facial

<p class="has-drop-cap">When your skin is craving a boost of hydration and luminosity, there&rsquo;s one treatment that promises an instant, camera-ready transformation&mdash;the <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/ids-o2-rejuvenate-o2r" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDS O2R Rejuvenate Facial by Intraceuticals</a>.

<p class="has-drop-cap">&nbsp;</p>
<p>Available at <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">IDS Aesthetics</a>, the O2R Rejuvenate Facial combines a hyperbaric oxygen infusion with Intraceuticals&rsquo; Rejuvenating Serum enriched with low weight hyaluronic acid, green tea, and vitamins A, C, and E.

<p>Conducted in clean, spacious facial cabins, every treatment begins with a detailed skin analysis to assess your concerns and customise the treatment accordingly&mdash;ensuring results that feel as personal as they look radiant. The O2R Rejuvenate Facial by Intraceuticals is ideal for all skin types, including those with sensitive skin.</p>
<div class="code-block code-block-8">&nbsp;</div>
<p>The 60-minute experience begins with a meticulous double cleanse (incorporating products containing salicylic acid and sodium ascorbyl phosphate for exfoliation and antioxidant protection), followed by gentle microdermabrasion and mild extraction to decongest the pores. Next comes the highlight: A high-powered infusion of the nourishing serum using a cooling airbrush-like applicator that delivers oxygen and nutrient-rich actives deep into the skin. The sensation is invigorating, like a micro-mist awakening the skin&rsquo;s sluggish cells. Red LED Light Therapy follows to calm, heal, and enhance the serum&rsquo;s absorption, before the therapist seals in moisture with a nourishing cream and broad-spectrum sunscreen.</p>

<p>For our in-house tester, the immediate post-facial glow was undeniable. &ldquo;My skin felt smoother, more supple, and noticeably plumper,&rdquo; she shares. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a treatment that truly lives up to its promise&mdash;no redness, no downtime, just healthier, more luminous skin.&rdquo; She noted that the airbrush delivery felt slightly intense around the nose area, but appreciated the precision and refreshment it offered overall.</p>

<p>Designed as a pre-event or &ldquo;red-carpet-ready&rdquo; facial, the O2R Rejuvenate by Intraceuticals is perfect for those seeking a quick yet effective glow-up before a big occasion.

<div>Now that many countries have opened up, I can finally go on our winter holidays again! I went on a "winter" trip to Taiwan in January and here's what I brought with me. Their winter isn't that cold but it's still quite dry so proper hydration is very important!&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div>I have very sensitive skin that's sometimes oily or dry depending on the environment and my hormones. So I need to switch up my skincare to help my skin overcome such changes. I recently here are some of my winter skincare must-haves!&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/facial-scrub-1"><strong>Facial Scrub (FS)</strong></a> - I use FS a few times a week. It's suitable for daily use but I have sensitive skin so I try not to use it daily. Also, it's able to keep my skin feeling smooth for days, so I didn't see a need to use it daily. I brought it with me on my Taiwan trip cause these days (thanks to my hormones) my skin sometimes has flakes when it is dry. FS helps to clear up all the dry flakes!&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/delicate-cleanser"><strong>Delicate Cleanser (C2)</strong></a> - I use both C1 and C2 on a daily basis, depending on my skin condition. For winter trips, the air is dry, so I'll always bring C2 with me as it is more suitable for dry skin.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/intensive-moisturizer"><strong>Intensive Moisturizer (IM)</strong></a> - I usually use RS and OM in Singapore, and occasionally IM when my skin is a little drier. But for winter, I'll definitely use IM cause it is richer and hydrating.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/dermashield-mask-sheet"><strong>Dermashield Mask (DM)</strong></a> - I use IDS Aesthetics Hydration Masks and DM on a weekly basis. Masks are a must-have for winter trips to hydrate the skin. I brought DM to my Taiwan trip cause I find that the air is more polluted there and DM has properties to counter that.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/tinted-sunscreen-spf-50"><strong>Tinted Sunscreen (S3)</strong></a> - I use both S2 and S3 but brought S3 for my trip cause it's tinted and has replaced my foundation. I haven't used any foundation since 2020. Anyway, don't think you can't get sunburn when it's cold. It is a must to apply sunscreen daily regardless of rain or shine, or even snow. UV rays are always around even if you don't see the sun's rays.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Bonus: <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/dew-mist-mi">Dew Mist Mi Facial</a></strong> - Do a good hydration facial before your trip. What I did was I did Hyro Facial to deep cleanse and hydrate my skin about a week before my trip and Dew Mist Mi facial a few days before my trip! It kept my skin really plump and hydrated throughout the trip and it was a good skin day every day!</div>

5 Winter Skincares Must-have

<p>Everyone knows that the basis of any skincare routine starts with cleansing&mdash;without clean skin, any other skincare step which follows would be&nbsp;insignificant as it just means that some skincare actives would lay on the surface of skin, unable to penetrate the skin. Moreover, this also means that impurities are being pushed around on the skin while you apply skincare, possibly clogging up pores and marring your complexion in the long run.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Try as we might, some impurities still manage to stay on the skin and embedded in pores without professional tools that aid in a thorough cleanse. That&rsquo;s why you need an expert cleansing treatment like the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/hydrotherapeutics-treatment-htt"><strong>IDS Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</strong></a>, available at<strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/">IDS Aesthetics</a></strong>&nbsp;to help supplement your daily cleansing, for immaculate skin cleanliness and a clear complexion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/HB%20HTT%202.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Get rid of the gunk</h2>
<p style="text-align: left;">Left uncared for, your skin becomes an unwitting catchment for grease and grime, which is the cause of acne, pimples and unsightly spots. Be it a build-up of beauty products, environmental pollutants or natural sebum and sweat, your pores often get clogged up easily with a colossal amount of dirt, resulting in dull, rough and uneven skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Daily washing can help to remove the external elements that reside on the surface, but what your skin really needs is that deep&nbsp;<em>deep&nbsp;</em>cleanse like a HTT facial that cuts through the accumulated layers of dirt that no regular cleanser can penetrate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/shares/Outlet/20241029_102626-min.jpg" alt="" /></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Fresh and Clean Complexion</h2>
<p>Professionally formulated to unclog those pores, this HTT facial gets to the root of the problem and &ldquo;resets&rdquo; your skin on a clean slate every time. To start off this clarifying treatment, double cleansing rids surface impurities and makeup to prep the skin for further cleaning. Then MDX, a microdermabrasion device gently exfoliates away dull surface skin that prevents skincare actives from penetrating skin. This also prevents dead skin from entering pores and potentially causing inflammation and pimples. Hydro D, a water-based dermabrasion which uses a multi-minerals solution, also lifts away impurities and infuses skin with essential nutrients to help it stay strong and healthy.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ultrasonic cleansing, which uses high-frequency, high-intensity sound waves, helps&nbsp;to dislodge deeply embedded impurities in the pores and hard-to-reach areas. Manual extraction is also done for those who are experiencing clogged pores, blackheads and milia seeds, removing them in a safe and sanitised way. Skin is then ready to receive a host of skincare ingredients beneficial for the skin&mdash;including vitamin C, a whitening, soothing or anti-acne mask, moisturiser and sunscreen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Suitable for all skin types, not only does HTT help to eliminate sebum and dirt, but it also works on a deeper level by stimulating cellular regeneration and boosting collagen production. As your cells get plumped up from within, your skin becomes firmer, leaving you with a brighter and smoother complexion. With clearer skin, you can go light-handed on the foundation, and even have the confidence to go makeup-free&mdash;the ultimate flex in having flawless and radiant skin.</p>

<p>Maintain spotless skin with deep cleansing</p>

BAZAAR X IDS AESTHETICS: Spa Awards 2022 Best Clarifying Treatment IDS Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) at IDS Aesthetics

<p class="has-drop-cap">It&rsquo;s a common refrain among urbanites that they simply don&rsquo;t have enough time to spare on indulgences and non-essential activities. Like high tea and day spas. Or facials, because self-care and beauty maintenance are often the first to go when we&rsquo;re strapped for time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To serve this large swathe of consumers and address their need for speed, a growing number of facial salons and med-spas are offering express facials that can typically be done in 30 minutes or less.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.idsclinic.com/team/dr-michelle-wong">Dr Michelle Wong</a> of IDS Clinic says: &ldquo;Express facials are a quick lunchtime solution for busy individuals looking to refresh their skin with a deep cleanse and exfoliation, and a great way for them to sneak in some &lsquo;me-time&rsquo; for relaxation.&rdquo;Such treatments are also useful for those who need a quick rejuvenation before an important event, as they can expect to leave with more supple and radiant skin after a quick hydrating face mask or an oxygen infusion treatment.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Traditional vs Express Facials</h3>
<p>The key difference between traditional and express facials is that the latter usually does not include extraction, which requires more time.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cost is another differentiating factor &ndash; express facials are generally more wallet-friendly than regular facials. However, prices can vary significantly between salons.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As with anything that is condensed or pared down, however, some facets and elements will inevitably be lost. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t expect your blackheads or whiteheads to disappear, as that will require comedone extraction,&rdquo; says Dr Wong. &ldquo;Also, express facials often don&rsquo;t have the luxury of time to indulge in anti-ageing facial massages and skin-tightening treatments.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although it is said that express facials can be done four to eight times a month to achieve or maintain your optimal skin condition and there is no need to follow up with a regular facial, Dr Wong still advises going for a longer session once a month. &ldquo;Good, thorough facials are relaxing and help to ensure that pores are cleansed and comedones are extracted. They also tend to include skincare infusions containing antioxidants and peptides that help prevent pigmentation and wrinkles, and improve overall skin quality,&rdquo; she says.</p>

What Are The Benefits Of Getting An Express Facial?

<p class="has-text-align-center has-pale-pink-background-color has-background" style="text-align: center;"><strong>Winner of The Weekly&rsquo;s Spa Awards 2022</strong><br /><strong>What</strong>&nbsp;Best Face-shaping Facial<br /><strong>Where</strong>&nbsp;IDS Aesthetics<br /><strong>How</strong>&nbsp;IDS Pep Blu Deep Treatment<br /><strong>Good to know</strong>&nbsp;$342.40 for a 60 min session</p>

<p>Skin ageing is one of life&rsquo;s inevitable issues that everyone has to face. And that can be really daunting, especially for women. Not just from an aesthetic point of view, but the health of our skin (both on the inside and outside) is constantly subjected to many elements that will affect its vitality.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While we can try our best to age as gracefully as possible by investing in a great skincare routine, all of that effort can only do so much. While a good skincare routine might help to reduce the process, we still face the issue of a loss of elasticity in our skin, causing an inability for absorption and retention. This means that whatever expensive skincare you are indulging your skin with will not have any effect, as your skin will lack the ability to absorb any nutrients and goodness.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So how exactly can you reset your skin to ensure that you&rsquo;re getting the best out of your skincare routine? By calling in the experts and levelling up with treatments that will give your skin the booster it needs.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2 id="h-pathway-to-skin-restoration">Pathway to skin restoration</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://media.womensweekly.com.sg/public/2022/06/DSC_9616_IDS.jpg?compress=true&amp;quality=80&amp;w=700&amp;dpr=0.8" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Enter the new IDS Aesthetics&nbsp;<span class="skimlinks-unlinked">Pep.Blu</span>&nbsp;Deep Treatment &ndash; an innovative treatment that unlocks new &lsquo;pathways&rsquo; for nutrients to travel deeper into the skin. The completely non-invasive treatment promises to firm, clarify, tone and sculpt your skin in just 60 minutes. &nbsp;Just think, in just one pampering session, you&rsquo;ll be able to leave the clinic with a slimmer and toner face with no downtime or painful side effects &ndash; how great is that?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Unlike traditional penetration machines, IDS Aesthetics aims to do things a little different &ndash; such as using a non-invasive Deep Electroporation Technology that creates channel openings in the skin. These new openings then allow the skin to optimally absorb vitamins and nutrients, a process not possible with traditional penetration machines.</p>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 id="h-hit-reset-for-rejuvenated-skin">Hit reset for rejuvenated skin</h2>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now that your skin is primed and ready to accept all of that goodness, the next step is to apply the cr&egrave;me de la cr&egrave;me of serums &ndash; the&nbsp;<span class="skimlinks-unlinked">Pep.Blu</span>&nbsp;Serum. A serum that delivers high concentrations of brightening and cell-stimulating ingredients, it&rsquo;s as if IDS Aesthetics has managed to capture and bottle the secret to the fountain of youth.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What&rsquo;s so amazing about the&nbsp;<span class="skimlinks-unlinked">Pep.Blu</span>&nbsp;Serum is the growth factors, peptides, Vitamin B9 and acetylated glutamine will help to stimulate collagen and increase fibroblast and elastin production, making it seem like you&rsquo;ve turned the clock on your skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For the ultimate hydration boost, the treatment is finished with a mask and LED light to enhance the recovery of the skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The result? A 60-minute skin transformation where your skin will be lifted, tightened and rejuvenated.</p>

This Firming Facial Will Turn The Clock Back On Your Skin

<p>Stress sucks. It wrecks havoc on your relationships, your performance at work, your mind and before you know it, your skin is ripe for rash and completely out of whack. You can&rsquo;t eliminate the stress overnight, that&rsquo;s for sure, but hey, maybe you could begin one of these facials. It won&rsquo;t undo all the damage, but at least it&rsquo;s a start.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/shares/Outlet/20241029_103329.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>If you&rsquo;re not seeing results from your tried-and-true holy grails, hold off before you decide to discard them. Your skin might just be incapable of optimally absorbing the goodness you&rsquo;ve been slathering on as before. This lower rate of absorption unfortunately is inevitable with age as our cell turnover rates start deteriorating. The <em>IDS <span class="skimlinks-unlinked">Pep.Blu</span> Deep</em> treatment, however, will help overcome just that by using a unique Deep Electroporation technology to open up new pathways or channels on the dermis, allowing essential skin-enhancing ingredients to penetrate the skin. As scary as that sounds, the &ldquo;holes&rdquo; are minute enough for the ingredients to enter, essentially keeping the treatment safe and non-invasive. The electroporation step is then followed up with the clinic&rsquo;s proprietary <em>IDS <span class="skimlinks-unlinked">Pep.Blu</span></em> serum, which delivers brightening and cell-stimulating agents such as growth factors, peptides and vitamin B9 into the dermis to stimulate collagen and increase fibroblast and elastin production. The treatment will leave your visage visibly brightened with firming and lifting effects happening after.</p>

<p><strong>Robb tip: </strong>If you are constantly under the sun, IDS&rsquo; reformulation of their <em>Non-Tinted Sunscreen</em> will be your constant companion. The ultra-lightweight physical sunscreen offers the best-in-class sun protection (SPF50 PA+++), even able to block more than 35 per cent of blue light (this speeds up ageing) that emits from electronic screens. The serum-like sunscreen can do more than just sun protection, infused with sustainably produced squalene, niacinamide, allantoin and vitamin E to offer skin-enhancing benefits. Your skin should get healthier and clearer with each application.</p>

Robb Report Singapore: Best facials in Singapore

<p>Believe it or not, they are one of the most common skin problems around. They are also among the most stubborn to get rid of (think icky black dots on your nose).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The bad news is that blackheads and whiteheads are a form of acne. They are pores that are clogged with sebum, dead skin cells, and other dirt or debris. Medically, they are also known as comedones. The difference between the two is that whiteheads appear as firm white bumps, these pus-filled zits have no opening on the skin, so all the &ldquo;rubbish&rdquo; are trapped within the pore. As it does not come into contact with oxygen, no oxidization occurs so it remains white. However, blackheads are open comedones where sebum and dead skin cells are clogged in the hair follicle and when the clog is exposed to oxygen, it turns black due to oxidation (a reaction of oil with oxygen).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As such, whiteheads are much more challenging to get rid of. Nonetheless, it&rsquo;s not impossible, as long as you know where to start.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For blackheads, use a tissue to cover your fingernails before gently applying pressure on either side of the blackhead. If it "pops" out easily, great. If it doesn't, don't try to force it. It may make matters worse.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What can you do (and not to do)</strong></p>
<p>#1 Cleanse properly</p>
<p>Have a good cleansing routine and use a cleansing brush where possible to give skin and pores a deep cleansing to help remove dirt, makeup residue and avoid the build-up of oil and dead skin cells.<img src="/photos/WhatsApp Image 2019-09-24 at 16.30.42.jpeg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>#2 Exfoliate regularly</p>
<p>Using a gentle exfoliator every two to three days not only help to encourage skin cell renewal to avoid build-up of dead cells, but also remove small superficial whiteheads and soften blackheads for extractions. Try <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/facial-scrub-1">IDS Skincare Facial Scrub</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>#3 Use natural remedies</p>
<p>Try natural remedies like Tea Tree Oil, a natural anti-inflammatory with antimicrobial benefits, and&nbsp;Witch Hazel, an astringent to help heal whiteheads. The most convenient way to use it is in astringent form. Simply wet a cotton ball with it and use twice per day.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>#4 Get treatment</p>
<p>Treating whiteheads and other forms of acne often takes trial and error. If natural and home remedies fail to clear your whiteheads, you may consider over-the-counter treatments with ingredients like Benzoyl peroxide, Salicylic acid, and retinoids. Take care not to use all the following ingredients at once as they can dry out the skin.&nbsp;Try <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/pore-formula">IDS Skincare Pore Formula</a> and <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/blemish-clear">Blemish Clear</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>#5 Go for facials</p>
<p>This is another way that can really clean out the pores well on a regular basis. The facial therapists are often skilful enough to perform extractions without leaving behind further damage and that will help to keep the pores clean. Sure you may end up with blotchy red patches but this will go away. If you can, a facial every three to four weeks is ideal. You may also want to try <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/hydrotherapeutics-treatment-htt">IDS Aesthetics Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</a> a award-winning treatment that helps to deep cleanse and remove accumulated dirt, product build-up and clogged sebum that no regular cleanser can.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>#6 Don&rsquo;t touch</p>
<p>Refrain from touching your nose or face as much as possible. When you touch your face, you may be inviting more pore-clogging dirt, oil, and bacteria that can lead to acne or skin irritation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>#7 Don&rsquo;t pick or pop</p>
<p>If you pick your whiteheads wrongly, it can worsen the condition and result in permanent scarring.&nbsp;But if it's "ripe", you can. "Ripe" means you can see the pus or the "head". Doing it correctly will help to remove the inflammation on the skin and allow healing. The best time to pop a spot is after a warm or hot shower or bath where your skin is clean, soft and your pores are open. Still, we suggest you don&rsquo;t try this at home if you have never done it before. Doing it wrongly can lead to aggravating the problem and risk scarring.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>When all else fails </strong></p>
<p>For very stubborn blackheads and whiteheads that simply do not go away, consider seeking help from medical professionals. Through an aesthetic procedure using AGNES machine, it can permanently destroy hyperactive sebaceous gland. It uses micro needles coupled with radiofrequency to inject eat energy into the targeted oil glands to &ldquo;kill&rdquo; the oil gland so that hair follicles do not get inflamed and infected any more.&nbsp;If you&rsquo;re afraid of needles or pain, numbing cream or local anesthesia may be applied prior to the treatment. Two to three sessions of AGNES may be required depending on severity of the acne condition.</p>

最佳保湿嫩肤疗程 - IDS Aesthetics: Best Hydrating Facial

<p>Hands up if you find your complexion looking tired and dull when you look in the mirror. There are a few reasons why this is happening. Ageing, stress, late nights and even constant exposure to environmental aggressors like pollution can leave complexion lacklustre and fatigued. However, one of the biggest causes is simply the lack of hydration.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When skin is dry or dehydrated, it can leave skin looking dull and sallow. In addition, dehydrated skin is also more prone to fine lines, wrinkles and roughness, which can worsen that tired looking complexion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The answer: Plump skin with moisture to get it happy, healthy and glowing once more. Even better? IDS Aesthetics&rsquo; Dew Mist Mi is here to do just that, and more.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/shares/Outlet/IMG_1327.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2><strong>What You Can Expect</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Touted to be an extremely hydrating facial, the Dew Mist Mi treatment focuses on giving maximum hydration and moisture replenishment for your tired and lacklustre complexion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The stars of the treatment are a combination of different therapies alongside specially created Dew Mist products to leave skin smooth, supple and luminous.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After cleansing and exfoliation with a sonic skin scrubber, an oxygen infusion (which contains fermented soy peptides to boost cellular respiration) aids the skin in absorbing the Dew Mist Oxygen Serum.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next, the skin is further hydrated and lifted with a blend of the Dew Mist Moisturising Essence and Dew Mist Rejuvenating Lift Cream that is worked into the skin with an ion handpiece and ultrasound therapy. The former contains saccharide isomerate, niacinamide, hyaluronic and ceramides to keep skin hydrated for longer, while the latter is enriched with multi-peptides to erase away the appearance of lines and improve elasticity for a smooth and more youthful looking complexion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is followed by the Dew Mist Mask that not only seals in the active ingredients the skin but also protects against blue light damage. To finish, a 15-minute red LED light therapy&nbsp; session boosts the effects of the mask and products applied prior while rejuvenating the skin at the same time.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In just one session, you&rsquo;ll emerge with a smooth, bouncy and glowing complexion.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>&nbsp;</h2>
<h2 id="h-our-tester-says"><strong>Our Tester Says&hellip;</strong>&nbsp;</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;The oxygen infusion was so gentle that it could even be used over the delicate eye area, which was great because the area tends to be dry and I often find myself plagued with fine lines. The ultrasound therapy that massaged the Dew Mist Moisturising Essence and Dew Mist Rejuvenating Lift Cream felt like a gentle facial massage and lulled me dangerously close to sleep. When it&rsquo;s all over, I looked in my face in the mirror and I&rsquo;ve never seen my skin so glowy before. My complexion felt so soft, the lines around my eyes were noticeably less obvious and I&rsquo;m amazed at how clear my skin looked.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Even after a few days, my glow was still there. In fact, I felt completely confident to meet friends bare-faced.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Omg, time flies! I have been using&nbsp;<a href="http://www.idsskincare.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDS Skincare</a> for almost 8 years now, from a uni student to now, a new mummy! So what do I love about IDS that made me use their products for so long?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgKxTb8FTPy1aGDOVIitL9H276C2yyqpEYOIvJ0F0r09qB4mCCtAcCY42eHWLF8F_GFds3rJ5LMkvZekO0UwOmVmEhnhgPMsH0jptKofT1mU2TXOfEPo0BB7e1L63qyfcgPC4CnAhZN_WrkgeIb-2AT-G2lHupPzyCASXgxnRAZ8cs7GV2p5SWIsadk=s16000" border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" /></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>1. Product Quality</strong></div>
<div>I've never used a single skincare brand this long before. I have very sensititive skin and for some strange reasons products usually don't work after about 2 years. Some people tell me that it's because my skin got used to the product, so I need to change products. But I've never faced this issue with IDS Skincare. So I'm really happy that there's a brand that I can use exclusively for 8 years straight. From what I understand, IDS creates a product, they don't stop working on it even after it is deemed effective. They continue improvising it, that's why there are always newly formulated products from the IDS Skincare range. This might be the reason why the products are always effective for me.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>2. Experienced Team</strong></div>
<div>I feel that at IDS, their staff are all very experienced from the doctors, to nurses, therapeutists and even those who are in the office! I'm serious when I say my skin is very sensitive. Before I used IDS Skincare, there were a couple of times I had a very bad skin reaction after an overseas winter trip, regardless of how much moisturiser I apply. I was recommended to try using Intensive Moisturiser, which is too thick for me under Singapore weather, and it worked for wonders me! Not only did I have good skin days while on winter trips, I also didn't have any breakouts after I am back in Singapore.&nbsp; I also had a breakout a month before my wedding due to an irritation from the makeup trial session, and with IDS Skincare's magical skincare concoction, my skin was completely healed in less than 2 weeks! That's why I really have lots of trust in IDS Skincare and you can read about how IDS rescued my skin back in 2019, for my wedding, in my blog post titled,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.katelyntan.sg/2019/12/i-didnt-use-skincare-for-month-heres.html">I didn't use skincare for a month, here's what happened</a>.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjMxvmskoZv019_RrAavymCQSYc4nDk8s8X8TNj18-iM6Irfg98t8wORTjbqokQxWRik9v7Bo3Us5Nwg3Ni1B5mSLdYeOeceUq1Ds-ZwlB42zbeQw_4x8m5gvRbdcSUL6ySqvoCYE2LmSLB9WL0fOWJeQxNTIXzfpK-VHNz9VTpm-GB3LsyCi4FpUkB=s16000" border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" /></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>3. Awesome Service</strong></div>
<div>The staff are all very friendly and I love that that do not hard sell. I've been to places that hard sell and rush me into procedures before, and the experience isn't good. IDS on the other hand is different, they are very focused on treating your concerns with skincare and only recommend treatments if necessary. So I always feel relaxed and that my skin is in good hands when I am at IDS!&nbsp;</div>

I've Been Using IDS Skincare for 8 Years Now!

<p>I kept my faith throughout the process, trusting that IDS had the expertise and experience to bring me closer to my ideal BBF state.</p>

[ gwynethtyt ] a review of IDS Skincare… by a skincare noob (#2)

<div class="featured-media">For a while, Singapore went back to heightened alert-esque restrictions so I couldn&rsquo;t go to IDS for a bit, but thankfully it lightened up recently, and unmasked facial treatments were allowed again woohoo! I badly wanted to get a facial done cos I felt like my skin was getting really dull, dehydrated and dirty.</div>
<div class="post-content clear">
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">So again, I checked myself in at the IDS Clinic at International Building, and this time all the staff were wearing shower caps! I asked one of them about it cos they weren&rsquo;t wearing them the last time I went. Apparently it&rsquo;s a new thing, it gives an added layer of hygiene and protection against germs so kudos to all of them, it must be really stuffy but they were all smiles and still professional.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">First thing that I was brought to do was to see Dr Michelle again, to assess how the products I&rsquo;ve been using have been for me, and for her to recommend which facial treatment would be best suited for my current skin condition.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">I really like their products and I think the ones chosen for me were very suitable for my skin type. None of them gave me any &ldquo;tight&rdquo; pulling sensation when used, which means that they weren&rsquo;t too strong or too drying for me.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">I did however, admit to Dr Michelle that I wasn&rsquo;t very diligent with the skincare routine. Honestly, I&rsquo;m still getting used to the morning routine since I don&rsquo;t have the habit of using skincare in the morning, but I&rsquo;m quite good with using it every night. Didn&rsquo;t get scolded, but instead, she said it&rsquo;s still ok. Hehe. In turn, Dr Michelle recommended the Dew Mist Mi facial that day, so I tried it out!</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Dew Mist Mi. Interesting name. It&rsquo;s a simple pun on the name (dew mist me). Obviously, an invitation from customers to receive dewy, hydrated, glowing skin through the facial haha! YES PLEASE!! My dry, dull, sensitive skins NEEEDS this.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">I was ushered to another wing in the clinic, and into one of the facial treatment rooms. Facial treatments are done at the Aesthetic wing of the IDS Clinic.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true"><img class="the-image" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cheryljhoe.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/photo6217472384168996535.jpg?w=1024" /></p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">This is what a typical room looks like. It&rsquo;s not super fancy, but does look well-kept and clean, the furnishing looked new. It&rsquo;s basic and simple, just what you&rsquo;ll get if you visit any other facial treatment centres, but I&rsquo;ve been to treatment rooms where the cupboard edges are peeling, or the machines looked old. So definitely not complaining about this one. Anyways, I&rsquo;m not there for the looks of the place, I&rsquo;m there for the hopefully high quality treatment and service.&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">So firstly, the therapist sets you up nicely on the bed. The usuals, framing and prepping your face with towels, but what is new is that I get a hair cap too! It&rsquo;s my first time having a facial treatment at IDS so I&rsquo;m not sure if this is the norm, but I appreciate it. It&rsquo;s a fuss-free way to get hair out of your face.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Every facial starts with cleansing and IDS did a double cleansing for me. Firstly with the C3 Cleansing Milk, to remove any make up, and then with the C2 Refreshing Cleanser, which is the same cleanser I have at home. I liked that IDS uses their own products in their treatments. I mean, it makes sense. Even though the products may not be the cheapest in the market, but it shows that they have so much trust in their own products&rsquo; effectiveness and quality, that they would use them for the facial treatments.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Step 2: Exfoliation</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">I&rsquo;ve always seen this device on my social media (think I&rsquo;m being targeted by IG algorithms lol) and I&rsquo;ve always wanted to try it cos it looks so effective! What this thing does is to use ultrasonic vibration to gently exfoliate the skin without damaging it. It also helps to remove blackheads and prep the skin for more effective absorption of nutrients later. By the way, Dew Mist Mi doesn&rsquo;t include manual extraction, this step is good enough, so don&rsquo;t worry if you&rsquo;re not a fan of the pain from manual extraction! I&rsquo;m definitely not!</p>

</div>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Step 3: Oxygen Infusion</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">This thing jets a pure oxygen serum into your prepped skin, helping to rejuvenate, brighten and improve skin complexion. The spray was concentrated but not painful. When the oxygen hits your skin, there&rsquo;s a really cooling sensation but doesn&rsquo;t feel like it&rsquo;s only spraying dry air. I liked that my therapist didn&rsquo;t rush this step and just go over my face with the oxygen just once. She made sure to cover every part of my face slowly, at least twice, and was careful when using it around my eyes. Actually I&rsquo;m quite glad that she tried to go as close to my eyes as possible cos my tired eyes need as much help as they can get haha.</p>

<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Step 4: Dermashield Mask + LED Light Treatment</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Similar mask to the one that I have at home too! But this was coupled with the LED Light machine for greater effect. There were a few different light treatments with varying benefits.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Broadly &ndash;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Red Light: helps to improve scarring, reduce wrinkles, encourage collagen production.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Blue Light: reduce oil gland activity, so that your face gradually becomes less oily, reduce bacteria that causes inflammation.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true"><img class="the-image" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://cheryljhoe.files.wordpress.com/2021/09/photo6217472384168996590.jpg?w=768" /></p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">This part helps to lock in all the good vitamins and ingredients in the skin but to give it an additional protection against HEV light (the same damaging lights from your digital devices) and other pollution.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">At this point, I fell asleep for a while.&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Final steps: Moisturiser and Sunscreen</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">As any good facial treatment would do at the end, regardless of what time of the day it is, the therapist should put on moisturiser and sunscreen.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">So that concluded my facial! Right after, when the therapist left the room for me to get myself sorted, I took a couple of pictures heh.</p>

<p data-adtags-visited="true">I wanted to show you how it looks like right after. Was a little concerned that I&rsquo;ll look unpresentable without make up and red skin but my skin wasn&rsquo;t red or sensitive at all. The only thing I&rsquo;d be more conscious about would just be the dark heavy eye bags lol but that&rsquo;s probably just on me to sleep more.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">A couple of days later, a representative from IDS called to check on me and ask how I was doing, and if there was any concerns from the facial treatment. I really think this is great follow up! Good on ya, IDS for going the extra mile to make sure your clients are doing well.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Some questions people asked and may be wondering:</p>
<p id="inline-ad-3" class="inline-ad-slot" data-adtags-width="855" data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true"><strong>Do they try to hard-sell you in buying a package?</strong></p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">No. No point during the entire treatment, and not even after the treatment did anyone &ldquo;strongly encourage&rdquo; me to consider a package. I have to be honest, I get really irritated when other places do that. I just want to enjoy my treatment in peace, like please, don&rsquo;t keep talking about how bad my skin is and how I would benefit from such-and-such treatment. If I wanted to know, I&rsquo;d ask. I also don&rsquo;t like it when afterward, they usher you into a room to meet a consultant and then proceed to explain what you received and possible packages to consider. Once they usher me into a room, I know it&rsquo;s coming and it&rsquo;s already a bit of a turn-off.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true"><strong>Got extraction? Painful?</strong></p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">No. I believe that the exfoliation step using the ultrasocial hand tool is a form of simple extraction, where your blackheads are shaken out of your pores. They don&rsquo;t use any blackhead picker or suction tool.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true"><strong>How much time do I have to set aside for this facial?</strong></p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">This entire treatment doesn&rsquo;t take up too much of your time. The whole process was about an hour long.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true"><strong>The next few days after the facial, how was your skin?</strong></p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Completely fine! I have really sensitive skin and every time there are changes in my skin condition, I am definitely aware of it. There was no difference in skin sensation or looks in the few days after the facial treatment. No breakouts, no rashes, no oiliness or other sensitivity.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>

[ Cheryljhoe ] IDS’s Most Well-Loved Facial Treatment!

<p>Two months in <a href="https://viktoriajean.com/2021/02/24/ids-clinic-skin-consultation-with-dr-michelle/">since I was first introduced to IDS</a>, my skin&rsquo;s been noticeably a lot less oily. I used to blot my face a lot, and feel obliged to touch up my makeup by mid-day. On good days now, my skin doesn&rsquo;t overcompensate with sebum overproduction even in a dry, air-conditioned environment all day. &lsquo;Less is more&rsquo; for me when it comes to makeup, so going foundation-less everyday is becoming a dream come true!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I visited IDS Aesthetics again recently, and Dr Michelle recommended a <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/cryo-therapeutics-treatment-ctt">Cryo-Therapeutics Treatment (CTT)</a> facial to soothe and brighten my dull skin. For cell repair, vital ingredients like vitamins and brighteners are also delivered into the skin through iontophoresis, followed by Cryotherapy technology (CryoProbe), to instantly soothe, restore and energize.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a nutshell, these are benefits of the CTT:</p>
<ul>
<li>Improve skin tone and texture</li>
<li>Cellular repair</li>
<li>Reduce redness and skin sensitivity</li>
<li>Soothe skin irritation</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The CTT facial started out with makeup removal and cleansing (since this was end-of-day), followed by a quick exfoliation with a handheld device. Next was the actual painless CTT routine, using a CryoProbe, which actually felt very cool to the touch. A sheet mask is then placed on my face (which I later learnt was the Derma Shield mask by IDS Skincare), and the CTT routine repeated on top of the sheet mask. Very comfortable and soothing after a long day! If you&rsquo;re concerned about sensitive skin (noticeable if your skin turns blotchy, red and burns easily), a CTT soothes, restores and repairs sensitive skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Had a quick consultation with Dr Michelle for a follow-up on my skin condition. She recommended that I go back after a month or so for an Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy to reduce my pigmentation and sun-induced dark spots, which I look forward to.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>IDS is a premium to regular facial outlets in terms of price, but the quality of service, products and expertise is a differentiating factor. Doctors at IDS can provide clinical evaluation and expert advice which regular beauticians cannot provide, such as identifying the underlying root cause of skin problems, and recommending appropriate clinical skincare procedures and routine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Many of our routines may be doing us more harm than good, and we may not even realise this. If you have major skin issues that regular facial joints cannot resolve, it is likely that you need a dermatologist to help identify the root of your problem. More often than not, regular skincare joints are not tailoring their services to you skin type, given the range of services provided. Hence I appreciate the expert team at IDS Clinic and IDS Aesthetics for paying attention to my skincare concerns, and addressing them from a medical point of view. There are indeed many different types of treatment at IDS which caters to all skin types!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Take care of your skin and it will take care of you.</p>

[ Viktoria Jean ] IDS Aesthetics – Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT)

<p>Hey hey everyone! I'm back at IDS for my second session (pssst: facial time!)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>First up, for some of you who may have missed out on&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.janelku.com/2021/03/journey-to-better-skin-my-experience.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my first visit to the IDS clinic, check it out here</a>&nbsp;</strong>as I am seriously in love with their skincare range!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As my main issue was clogged pores and black/whiteheads, Dr Michelle Wong suggested I do the hydro-therapeutics treatment, which I did. I am also glad to announce that with daily usage of their skincare line, my skin have improved by leaps and bounds, despite it being close to just a month!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The results are really amazing, and many of my colleagues were unable to tell that I wasn't wearing foundation at all (which says alot, haha!)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We started off with double cleansing before doing a microdermabrasion on my skin. This was followed by an ultrasonic cleansing extraction - and oh boy - I was super glad that this was not overly painful (I&nbsp; have had other facial sessions at other places which hurt me so badly I ended up tearing throughout!).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was thankful that this procedure was not very painful. Thereafter, I relaxed with a vitamin C mask application, supposedly a potent solution that whitened and brightened my skin! As I was heading out after the session, my therapist also ended off with their tinted sunscreen to protect my skin.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everyone deserves to have a healthy and glowing complexion. And while there are many ways you can achieve this, the Hydro-Therapeutic Facial is one of the most effective and personalized treatments that will not only make your skin glow but also give it some much needed love!<strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Some thing I would like to share with y'all beautiful people... (TLDR version below)</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In a hot climate like Singapore, our skin is more sensitive to dehydration, which can cause premature aging. Facial treatments will help to hydrate your skin and make it look healthier.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Facials can also reduce and prevent acne outbreaks, tighten pores, inhibit oil production in the skin&rsquo;s sebaceous glands reducing shine on the face (especially helpful if you have oily or combination skin), increase collagen production in the dermal tissues for firmer-looking skin, stimulate cell turnover for more youthful-looking tissue which will not sag or wrinkle as easily.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, our poor skin is fighting off free radicals all day, every day. The sun produces free radicals, as do cigarette smoke and other pollutants in the air. And then there is the pollution produced within our bodies from things like stress and bacteria. All of that adds up to an unrelenting attack on your skin&rsquo;s cellular health.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And if you're like me, plagued by clogged pores, it might seem like the only way to release them is to squeeze them out. This is what I used to do.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>BUT!</strong> If you haven't given up on squeezing your own pores, you should probably stop!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Squeezing blackheads can lead to acne scars or permanent skin discoloration, and potentially spread the bacteria that cause acne! Yikes!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The truth is that squeezing your own blackheads can be a very risky endeavor in terms of both an increased risk for acne scarring on your face and possible infections if you&rsquo;re not careful.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't squeeze your blackheads: you risk infection, it may worsen your acne problems and it won't help to get rid of the junk in the pore.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>TDLR: Don't squeeze your black/whiteheads by yourself!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="separator">
<div class="wrap-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EC4q-TW9780/YJf3uN4S-tI/AAAAAAAAEAM/Yoy9qR4FpeQzUSaZTlXvBWzNygG4rt2UQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IDS%2BAesthetics_2021_janelku%2B%25285%2529.jpg" border="0" data-original-height="412" data-original-width="1280" /></div>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Back to the treatment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Overall, I was very pleased with this facial treatment, which lasted one hour, as it helped to unclog my pores (much needed indeed!). This is truly important, as the unclogging of pores also helped to boost the efficacies of the skincare product, as it helped in the overall absorption and really cleared my skin up!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am very pleased that I am able to step out of the facial place barefaced (and just with sunscreen, say what?!) haha~ I also loved that my pores were cleaned, without red patches all over, which usually is the case after I leave other facial salons or after I choose to DIY at home (yikes, again, horrible choice to DIY, folks).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="separator">
<div class="wrap-image"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sJo9ehLRSP0/YJf3uznx2iI/AAAAAAAAEAQ/9RJM6TazhH4sJAV8i7QtVs-67Ic4Be8LgCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IDS%2BAesthetics_2021_janelku%2B%25286%2529.jpg" border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="576" /></div>

[ Janel Ku ] My IDS Journey: Hydro-Therapeutics Facial Treatment: Bye To Blackheads!

<p data-adtags-visited="true">Here&rsquo;s to fulfill my promised to share with you my IDS journey. After religiously using my <a href="https://myfarrahdise.com/2021/04/29/ids-skincare-reviews/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><em><strong>personalized IDS products</strong> which I&rsquo;ve shared in my previous post.</em></a> I came back for a follow-up consultation on my skin condition.</p>

<p data-adtags-visited="true"><strong>What is Dew Mist Mi?</strong></p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Dew Mist treatment is one of the IDS most well-loved treatment as it is an extremely hydrating facial that not only moisturize the skin but leaving a smooth velvety feel even after just a single session. Dew Mist Mi focuses on giving maximum hydration and moisture replenishment for our dull skin. The Oxy infusion aids the skin in absorbing IDS Dew Mist Solution to give it a boost of moisture content. The skin is further hydrated and lifted with the infusion of Dew Mist Moisturizer and Rejuvenating Lift with a soothing low-temperature Ion handpiece. But not limited to these processes. It&rsquo;s suitable for sensitive skin too.</p>

<p id="inline-ad-0" class="inline-ad-slot" data-adtags-width="809" data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true"><strong>Here&rsquo;s my experience&hellip;</strong></p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Prior to my consultation<em><a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/">, I had my appointment booked</a></em> at IDS Aesthetics International Building in Orchard Road. Right after my consultation with Dra. Michelle, I was ushered to my room for the Dew Mist Mi treatment. My aesthetician is friendly and made sure I&rsquo;m comfortable. She had walked me through the entire process so that I could share it with all of you!</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Once I&rsquo;m comfortably lying on the bed, she double cleansed my face with an IDS cleanser to make sure that my skin was completely makeup and dirt-free. After that, with the use of a dermabrasion machine, she removes my dry skin. And followed it with Dew Mist Oxygen Infusion with moisturizing ampule. This process helps to penetrate it thoroughly to my skin. Expect that this stage is quite cold due to the oxygen infuse but it feels relaxing. I thought that this was the highlight of the treatment but wait until I finish sharing it.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">The oxygen infuse was followed with Dew Mist Rejuvenation Lift Penetration with C-Ion which she gently massages my face to help penetrates the serum and lift my skin. The Ion Handpiece is less cold but equally relaxing. I also think that it really helps on the whole treatment when your aesthetician is comforting and light-handed on doing the entire process. I love how she delicately touches my face.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">To complete the facial, Dew Mist Mask is used to not only seal the vitamins and ingredients in the skin but to give it additional protection against HEV light and pollution. This treatment is concluded with an LED light mask for enhanced results. She put the eye protection prior to turning on the LED light. Right after this, an IDS moisturizer and sunscreen were applied to my face.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">The entire treatment took about 60 minutes from start to finish and left my skin looking and feeling incredible. I touched my face to check if it is as good as it looks. I also want to highlight that this treatment doesn&rsquo;t include the extraction of white or blackheads. You have nothing to worry about as the Doctor in IDS will recommend what&rsquo;s best for your current skin condition and concerns.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Right now my face has continued to feel rejuvenated and clear of unwanted dry skin. I could not recommend this treatment enough, especially to those who are having a dull skin problem like mine. However, one thing to note is that consistency may be important. I continued using my IDS products to support my whole journey to healthy skin.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">I&rsquo;ll see you again on my next treatment!</p>

<p>Here&rsquo;s to fulfill my promised to share with you my IDS journey. After religiously using my personalized IDS products which I&rsquo;ve shared in my previous post. I came back for a follow-up consultation on my skin condition.</p>

[ Farrah ] IDS Aesthetics: I Tried Dew Mist Mi and Here’s Everything You Need to Know

<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LNLtwMujVS4/YG1_NyBls1I/AAAAAAAAp28/1ctsUDBcZ7QnMaztNGtNfEsTPRZDh6-aQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/FC5BB108-83B9-49EB-9659-6AEE1DEAF748.JPG" width="419" height="745" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For my second session at IDS, Dr Lum recommended that I try the Cryo Therapeutics Treatment - great for those with dull and sensitive skin. Using a combination of Cryotheraphy Technology&nbsp;<em>(which employs an extremely low temperature of up to -15 degree celcius)&nbsp;</em>and serum infusion, this facial helps to firm and tone my skin, keep it hydrated and glowing promote cellular repair.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8iDwYcfoWWI/YG1_NqhHysI/AAAAAAAAp24/uExmVftCVFwzO8Dzvfx50DRouBzKfY9mgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/E64F5CDF-09D0-4EE5-A40A-4D530EAA2CB0.JPG" width="419" height="745" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B0TeQuFcijM/YG1_N6txtGI/AAAAAAAAp3A/uAk4wQQF1x4JwqRPlxtSGgJDpB5z1TWMACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/580F3020-9B68-46F5-8499-B62356A95A66.JPG" width="419" height="745" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was assigned to therapist Linn who is friendly and meticulous in her work. She explained every step of the facial before doing it. This treatment started with a double cleanse&nbsp;followed by microdermabrasion to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells. Next, the most dreaded&nbsp;extraction but was surprisingly only 2/10 pain for me&nbsp;<em>(perhaps</em><em>&nbsp;I have a higher pain threshold esp after childbirth).</em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After which comes the most shiok part - Cryo Technology! This is perfect after extraction as it&nbsp;reduces the redness, soothes and calms skin with the cooling&nbsp;-15degrees temperature. Felt like winter on my face! This was topped with a hydrating sheet mask for about 15 mins. Unlike other facials where therapist will leave you to rest when mask is on, Linn stayed throughout the session to roll the CryoProbe machine over my mask to allow the effective&nbsp;absorption&nbsp;of serum into the skin. It was cold yet comfortable and she commented that this is usually the favourite part for most customers.&nbsp;The session ended with a refreshing layer of moisturiser and sunscreen to lock in all the goodness!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What's great is that there's no downtime after my facial even with extraction. Sure my face was slightly red, but not to the extent that I have to head home straight away. Also, I love that the facial was efficiently capped below 1 hour yet I could feel an immediate difference in my skin. Def one of the most enjoyable facials I've tried!</p>

[ Samantha ] How a -15 Degree Celsius Cryo Facial Feels Like...

<p><em>(This is a follow up of my ongoing skincare journey with IDS! You can read up on the first instalment of the series <a href="https://www.eddychua.com/personal/ids-clinic-review/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.)</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I must admit I am a lazy person. Maybe that&rsquo;s also the reason most guys give ourselves when it comes to facial care. As you&rsquo;ve read from my previous post, there are quite a number of products that were prescribed to me for my journey towards a flawless and perfect facial skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>While the adrenaline of receiving new products kicked in almost as instantly as the night following my first visit, I told myself to go slow. I took some time to get used to the product, understand how they work, and, most importantly, how they affect my skin. It took me a couple of weeks to get very used to my morning and night facial routines. Not to mention that due to the fact that I frequently change where I am based, I always have to carry a carrier full of products in my travel pack.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>About one month later, right before Recess Week, I returned to the IDS outlet at the International Building for the second part of my treatment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This follow-up visit has two main objectives: first to undergo this facial treatment called Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) and secondly, to see Dr. Ben again so that he can also help monitor my progress.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>HTT is a facial treatment created by the very professional team at IDS for all skin types. During this process, accumulated dirt and clogged sebum will be removed from the skin and hence, resulting it being returned to a clean slate.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As a guy who wears make-up occasionally, I am also aware that makeup and products tend to build upon the skin and might cause some skin troubles as a result. So such treatment comes in handy too to help with the deep cleansing of my skin. And especially with my skin condition in a bad shape after rushing against time to complete my assignments on time and study for my tests, it&rsquo;s really time for my skin to enjoy some rest.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The entire HTT process last 60mins, under the precision and care of my beauty consultant. The procedure includes:</p>
<p><strong>1. Double Cleansing<br />2. Microdermabrasion (MDX)<br />3. Ultrasonic cleansing<br />4. Extractions of Blackheads<br />5. Ultrasonic penetration of Vitamin C<br />6. Anti Acne Mask<br />7. Moisturiser<br />8. Sunscreen</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Please mind me for not having any photos taken during the entire course of the treatment because I was <em>pangseh-ed </em>by my photographer that very morning (tragic story).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Before we start the entire process, I stored my belongings (you know, me and my habit of carrying my entire home with me) in a reasonably sized cabinet located at one corner of the treatment room. It can actually store the number of <em>barang-barang</em> I have, that&rsquo;s enough to help you visualise how spacious the cabinet actually is. I love cabinets of reasonable size.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thereafter, I was handed a bouffant cap &ndash; so that my hair would not be stained during the process. I lied down on the bed and the professional consultant pulled the blanket over me, exposing only my face.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>First thing first, <strong>double-cleansing</strong>. This step helps to prepare the skin for treatment by removing the dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. The cleansing was accompanied by a tender message on the face. That completely clears any nervousness I had prior to my first ever facial treatment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once the foams from the second cleansing were washed away with water, my consultant then brought forward a machine. For a moment, I thought I was at the dentist. The <strong>MDX</strong> is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew the overall skin tone and texture of the skin. It requires the usage of a special applicator (part of that massive machine I saw), containing an abrasive surface to help gently <em>&lsquo;vacuum&rsquo;</em> the other layer of the skin, rejuvenating it during the process. To help you relate to it better, it&rsquo;s exfoliation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once the outer layer of the skin in rejuvenated, it&rsquo;s time for <strong>Ultrasonic Cleansing</strong>. With the help of ultrasonic (sound) wave motion, aged surface skin cells are impurities are being removed. Such include the irritating blackheads and whiteheads most of us encountered.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course, while ultrasonic is powerful enough, manual <strong>extraction</strong> of dirt and impurities are still required, just in case the wave did not manage to remove them completely. Although it was done using a relatively sharp tweezer, I am glad that my consultant was so experienced and gentle (yet effective) that I did not actually felt any sharp pain.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;You don&rsquo;t seem to have much blackheads actually&rdquo; She said shortly.</p>
<p>Well, could have been due to the IDS products I&rsquo;ve been using thus far. Effective.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Cleared of the impurities, it&rsquo;s time to apply some Vitamin C on the pores vacated by the impurities. I mentioned in my previous article that Vitamin C is an anti-oxidant essential in promoting the production of collagen, and collagen helps promote the thickening of the dermis and hence contributing to the strength and flexibility of the skin. The <strong>ultrasonic penetration of Vitamin C</strong> is done to ensure that the vitamins are optimally absorbed into the skin, achieving the best effect possible.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A herbal-scented <strong>anti-acne mask</strong> is then being applied onto my face to help soothes the sensitive spot. My consultant then excused herself for the next 15 minutes for the mask to take effect. I continued to lay there, lowkey cursing Jon for not being there to entertain me (sorry mate haha, just adding some banter here). I would really want to see how I look with the cement-coloured semi-solid being applied across my face. Not sure if I am the only one who felt it but there was some minty feeling on my skin as the duration goes.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>15 minutes later, she&rsquo;s back to clear off the mask. I wouldn&rsquo;t really mind if she came in any later, I was enjoying the smell and the texture of the mask already. Once the mask is off, she helped me to apply the <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/oil-free-moisturizer-2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>oil-free</strong> <strong>moisturiser (OM)</strong></a> and the<strong> <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/non-tinted-sunscreen-spf50-pa" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sunscreen (S2) </a></strong>to complete the entire process.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Final verdict:</strong> I hadn&rsquo;t really felt so relaxed since school started so I was enjoying every moment of the treatment! Shiok lah</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The Follow-Up</strong></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After the treatment, I was ushered out to the waiting area, where I met my stand-in photographer Huiqi &ndash; who kindly offered her service during her lunch break. (Means, yay, some photos to go which this entire chunk of text!) Not long after, I was called for my consultation with Dr Ben.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s a follow up consultation so Dr Ben was looking at the condition of my skin. My other beauty consultant Cass was like saying, &ldquo;Your face looks whiter now.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Of course, those of you who are reading this will be thinking, &ldquo;Eh, where can ownself say ownself one?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What about a few weeks later during one of my productions, my AP was telling me how my face look brighter.</p>

<p>I must admit I am a lazy person. Maybe that's also the reason most guys give ourselves when it comes to facial care. As you&rsquo;ve read from my previous post, there are quite a number of products that were prescribed to me for my journey towards a flawless and perfect facial skin.</p>

[ Eddy Chua ] My Journey with IDS (Part 2): Trying out the Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment

<div>It's no secret that I've been using IDS Skincare products for 2 months now and my skin has seen some improvement. For my follow up, I went to <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDS Aesthetics </a>to test out their Aesthetics treatment service.</div>
<div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QRa6AIZY_1g/YENUYNK4CfI/AAAAAAAAOTg/dqqqTrkkw4MO97pMNs7xHi9vuQWRLl8GwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2016/IMG_5342.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QRa6AIZY_1g/YENUYNK4CfI/AAAAAAAAOTg/dqqqTrkkw4MO97pMNs7xHi9vuQWRLl8GwCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h300/IMG_5342.jpg" width="400" height="300" border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
Read on for my experience:</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</strong></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
This is one facial suited for most and usually the treatment recommended to many. This award-winning treatment works hard through various levels of deep cleansing to remove accumulated dirt, product build-up and clogged sebum that no regular cleanser can.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Benefits:</strong><br />
<ol>
<li>Crystal clear skin</li>
<li>Unclogged pores</li>
<li>Cellular regeneration</li>
<li>Increase collagen production</li>
<li>Reduced lines and wrinkles</li>
</ol>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Ideal for: </strong>Those who are looking to achieve brighter and clearer skin</div>
<div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Treatment Period:</strong> Recommended to do it once a month, 60 mins per session</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Price: </strong>$198 before GST</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>STEPS</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div><strong>1. Double cleansing</strong></div>
</div>
<div>This step starts off with makeup removal using IDS Skincare Cleansing Milk followed by a double cleanse with Refreshing cleanser.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>2. MDX (microdermabrasion)</strong></div>
<div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J86wbYJYFTA/YENSh_NUebI/AAAAAAAAOTA/YGfTmbyzwLQzvh8pifAD9zle7Z-WqR2cQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1369/IMG_5322.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-J86wbYJYFTA/YENSh_NUebI/AAAAAAAAOTA/YGfTmbyzwLQzvh8pifAD9zle7Z-WqR2cQCLcBGAsYHQ/w169-h200/IMG_5322.jpg" width="169" height="200" border="0" data-original-height="1369" data-original-width="1160" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div>After cleansing, the therapist got started on the microdermabrasion. She was very gentle and quick with the device. At this point, there is some slight redness to my skin which is normal.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>3. Ultrasonic cleansing</strong></div>
<div>After microdermabrasion, my therapist proceed to apply a softener with a brush to soften the white head and blackhead. before running the ultrasonic device over my skin. This step helps to loosen comedones and blackheads off the skin.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>4. Extractions</strong></div>
<div>For deeply rooted blemishes and pimples, the therapist extracted them during this step. I like that she was very gentle and communicative to understand my pain threshold. Honestly, it was one of the least painful extractions I've experienced.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>5. Ultrasonic penetration of vitamin C</strong></div>
<div>After extractions, the therapist applied a Vitamin C concentrate over my face and used the same Ultrasonic device to deliver the concentrate deep into the skin dermis, this process is called iontophoresis.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>6. Mask &ndash; whitening, soothing or anti-acne</strong></div>
<div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3vBqjq8_e2M/YENQiIK_c4I/AAAAAAAAOS4/lqD879_Q0Kc7pi4dKiO-4kwQOPMqyFa7ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1512/IMG_5336.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3vBqjq8_e2M/YENQiIK_c4I/AAAAAAAAOS4/lqD879_Q0Kc7pi4dKiO-4kwQOPMqyFa7ACLcBGAsYHQ/w200-h200/IMG_5336.jpg" width="200" height="200" border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="1512" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div>Due to the redness and soreness after microdermabrasion and extraction, my therapist used a soothing rubber mask for my skin. The cooling mask helped to calm my skin while providing it the hydration it needs.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>7. Moisturizer</strong></div>
<div>After 15 minutes, the mask was removed and the therapist applied IDS Skincare Oil-free Moisturizer for my skin.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>8. Sunscreen</strong></div>
<div>As I did my treatment late in the evening, this step was skipped. However, do feel assured that if you are getting your treatment done during the day, they will help to apply the correct sunscreen for your face!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>VERDICT</div>
<div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
I've done a range of facial treatments as a beauty blogger, microdermabrasion and the use of the ultrasonic device aren't something new to me, so the thing that sets this session apart from others is the use of their own in-house products during the session.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3c2yfhaoFSk/YENTC-eacJI/AAAAAAAAOTM/np--kEBORNMlS2cWLLtRyiFf9KryqFmbgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2320/IMG_5333.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3c2yfhaoFSk/YENTC-eacJI/AAAAAAAAOTM/np--kEBORNMlS2cWLLtRyiFf9KryqFmbgCLcBGAsYHQ/w400-h200/IMG_5333.jpg" width="400" height="200" border="0" data-original-height="1160" data-original-width="2320" /></a></div>
<div><br />Personally, I enjoy using IDS Skincare products as my skin has seen an improvement over these 2 months. I think the ultrasonic cleansing process was made more effective with the use of their softener which resulted in an extraction that was gentle with minimal discomfort. <br /><br />The treatment downtime period is also minimal, I had a few spots of redness that lasted only for the night. After this treatment, I felt that my skin is smoother with no congestion, my pores appear smaller and my skin looked radiant!</div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bDnVmDc2xWg/YEOVXi-ppYI/AAAAAAAAOTo/sH7b7JvIGLAF7Ul2bMLg4pMNPGL6RJKIwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_5341.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bDnVmDc2xWg/YEOVXi-ppYI/AAAAAAAAOTo/sH7b7JvIGLAF7Ul2bMLg4pMNPGL6RJKIwCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h482/IMG_5341.jpg" width="640" height="482" border="0" data-original-height="1544" data-original-width="2048" /></a>Right: The day after the facial treatment</p>

<p>It's no secret that I've been using IDS Skincare products for 2 months now and my skin has seen some improvement. For my follow up, I went to IDS Aesthetics to test out their Aesthetics treatment service.</p>

[ Jody Liu ] IDS Journey: The THIRD step to healthier skin is routine Facials

<p>After incorporating IDS Skincare products into my daily routine for quite a while now, I went back again to experience my first facial treatment with them. I don't usually do facial treatments all that often, but every time I get to do so, It always leaves me with glowing skin thereafter. As such, I was really excited to be trying their award-winning Hydro-Therapeutics Facial Treatment!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In my opinion, getting a facial treatment would most definitely rejuvenate any skin. A facial is a form of treatment for your skin. It generally involves deep cleansing of the pores, skin exfoliation, removal of dead skin, and also the treatment for basic skin concerns with the help of massages, face masks, etc.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I feel that having regular facial treatments are a great addition to incorporate into your skincare regime. as it can further help to keep your skin healthy and glowing too. Personally for myself, some of the benefits includes reducing stress as facial is me pampering myself, and as such, it helps to reduce anxiety and uplifts my mode. Other benefits include having my skin thoroughly cleaned and improving blood circulation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Upon arriving at IDS Novena again and after clearing the standard protocol of safe-entry check-in and temperature checks, I was swiftly brought into a room where the nurse would ask and enquire about my skin conditions and concerns. I shared with her that my skin can be rather dry around the eye area, as well as quite bad dark eye circles.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The nurse then recommended two facial treatment options for me to try: the Hydro-therapeutics Treatment which was award-winning, or the Cyro Therapeutics Treatment. I chose the former.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><u>The Award-Winning Hydro-Therapeutics Facial Treatment</u></strong></h3>
<p>The Hydro-therapeutics Facial Treatment from IDS is an award-winning facial treatment that everyone can benefit from as it is created for all skin types. It works hard through various levels of deep cleansing to remove accumulated dirt, product build-up, and clogged sebum that no regular cleanser can.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some of the benefits include:</p>
<p>- Crystal Clear Skin</p>
<p>- Unclogged pores</p>
<p>- Cellular regeneration.</p>
<p>- Increase collagen production</p>
<p>- Reduced lines and wrinkles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here's a quick summary of what to expect when you're experiencing the facial treatment (info gotten from IDS website):</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1) <em>Double Cleansing -</em> Started off by performing a thorough cleansing. IDS Cleansers were used to remove some of my sunscreen and light eye concealers.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2) <em>MDX (Microdermabrasion) - </em>After cleaning the skin, the next step involves a procedure where a crystal tip is rubbed against my skin to remove the upper layers of blemished skin and dead skin cells. I felt that the suction sensation was bearable, and in fact, I kinda like it. Haha. This step is used to smoothen and improve the texture of your facial skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S4XHI9t1MO4/YL29ohC-A9I/AAAAAAAABhc/ngGvaQsJj2gZ3xuD59PMShXgLVc3y32MwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2532/IMG_0763.PNG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S4XHI9t1MO4/YL29ohC-A9I/AAAAAAAABhc/ngGvaQsJj2gZ3xuD59PMShXgLVc3y32MwCLcBGAsYHQ/w185-h400/IMG_0763.PNG" width="250" height="541" border="0" data-original-height="2532" data-original-width="1170" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="separator"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">3) <em>Ultrasonic Cleansing - </em>Next up, I was being treated to a treatment where it incorporates ultrasonic wave motion for the renewal of aged skin cells.</span></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Fz1IsoNDgQ/YL29QJb5IhI/AAAAAAAABhQ/FNUlfHL6sYsPu2klwBPbtPB2qbqY-v6bgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2532/IMG_0764.PNG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9Fz1IsoNDgQ/YL29QJb5IhI/AAAAAAAABhQ/FNUlfHL6sYsPu2klwBPbtPB2qbqY-v6bgCLcBGAsYHQ/w185-h400/IMG_0764.PNG" width="245" height="529" border="0" data-original-height="2532" data-original-width="1170" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">4) <em>Extractions</em> - Right after Ultrasonic Cleansing, It was then time for extractions. This step is vital to keep the pores clean. I must say that my pain tolerance threshold is quite minimal, and this entire process does hurt a little, especially when the blackheads were being extracted out. But it was bearable for sure.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">5) <em>Ultrasonic Penetration of Vitamin C - </em>After extracting, vitamin C was applied to my face using a mild electrical current to ensure the deeper layers of the skin absorbed for a brighter skin.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">6) <em>Mask-Whitening, Soothing, or Anti-Acne </em>- I chose the soothing mask for this step. A really gentle and herbal-scented facial mask was applied to my face for about 15 minutes.</span></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8VPA6NjpVxU/YL29v9LMqcI/AAAAAAAABhs/PMmqwlUCo8MltuLW9ENhp2DJzSK0cDZgQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2532/IMG_0765.PNG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8VPA6NjpVxU/YL29v9LMqcI/AAAAAAAABhs/PMmqwlUCo8MltuLW9ENhp2DJzSK0cDZgQCLcBGAsYHQ/w185-h400/IMG_0765.PNG" width="237" height="513" border="0" data-original-height="2532" data-original-width="1170" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">That concludes my Hydro-Therapeutics Facial Treatment! In summary, the entire facial treatment was really easy on the skin for me. It left my skin glowy and smooth, and my pores were mostly no longer clogged too. Even days thereafter, I could still see that glow on my skin which lasted for a week or two.&nbsp;</span></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I am more than satisfied and happy to recommend anybody who wants to try a good facial treatment to give IDS's Hydro-Therapeutics Facial Treatment a shot!&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>~ Suitable for the sensitive skin &ndash; My skin immediately reacts to anything harsh and that&rsquo;s why a good skincare treatment must be something that takes care of hypersensitivity during and after treatment.</p>
<p>~ Clean, Conducive Environment with a great ambiance &ndash; time taken for Skincare treatment is my time and it&rsquo;s better to be spent in a great environment which is calming and soothing. The place must be #sgclean and must ensure that #covidsafetyprotocols are followed stringently.</p>
<p>~ Friendly Consultants and other staff who know what&rsquo;s best for the client &ndash; Always prefer someone who gives suggestions after analysing skin condition carefully.</p>
<p>~ Value for money &ndash; It&rsquo;s my hard earned money that I spend so the treatment has to be value for money and effects should be visible.</p>
<p>~ Did I take a nap during the treatment? Seriously, this parameter is quite important for me. The sleep that you get when they put the mask is super blissful and rejuvenates you instantly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>***Please note that this treatment might not be suitable for:</p>
<ul>
<li>people with acute diseases, diabetes, impaired liver function</li>
<li>people receiving medical treatments such as radio or chemotherapy</li>
<li>people who have undergone same-day hair removal on treatment area</li>

[ Shub RainbowDiaries ] Cryo Therapeutics Treatment at IDS Aesthetics

<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If you have been following me and reading&nbsp;<a href="https://cennds.blogspot.com/2021/03/my-skin-journey-with-ids-aesthetics.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">my new skincare journey</a>, you would know that I am currently with the IDS. If you have missed out, you can read about the experience&nbsp;<a href="https://cennds.blogspot.com/2021/03/my-skin-journey-with-ids-aesthetics.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Last week after a month of my new skincare regime, I visited Dr Lum for the second review, and I had a facial treatment at the same time.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">My skin hydration is getting better especially, my dryness under the eyes. It has improved a lot, and it was no longer dry and flaky under the eyes. During my second review, I shared with Dr Lum about a few acne that popped up on my face, and I told her about my dark circle issue.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v0G9DI0qX_w/YIVwJ4WrQmI/AAAAAAAAFj4/qR8Ger464a4glrsUgC5ubNsfNpI4G1SyACLcBGAsYHQ/s1560/IMG_6352.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-v0G9DI0qX_w/YIVwJ4WrQmI/AAAAAAAAFj4/qR8Ger464a4glrsUgC5ubNsfNpI4G1SyACLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_6352.JPG" width="480" height="640" border="0" data-original-height="1560" data-original-width="1170" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">She added a small bottle of spot control to my skincare product. It would be the last step after the rest of skincare and apply it to the acne when needed. She suggested I use Rejuvenating Complex for my eyes. It helps rejuvenate my eyes area as the eye product they have may be too strong for me, and I am still new to the product.</span></p>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ETuZ4rafsbs/YIVv0v5E8pI/AAAAAAAAFjw/laX6zHLNlcgSZy48UgGAgz_0VU2UiHt1ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2995/IMG_6357.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ETuZ4rafsbs/YIVv0v5E8pI/AAAAAAAAFjw/laX6zHLNlcgSZy48UgGAgz_0VU2UiHt1ACLcBGAsYHQ/w474-h472/IMG_6357.JPG" width="474" height="472" border="0" data-original-height="2973" data-original-width="2995" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">True enough, as during my first to second weeks, my skin was on the adapting process (peeling, oily) to a new environment. I shared it on my previous experience too. Up to date, my skin works well with the product, and it helps me on achieving a better skin complexion. It does reduce my skin redness due to the sensitivity of my skin.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">My favourite product is the Rejuvenating Complex. Many people commented that the Moisture Boost is the most voted but, perhaps my skin works differently. Rejuvenating Complex helps under eyes got better and makes my skin looks younger and energetic again. C Plus would be my second choice. The vitamin C was refreshing and good.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZGtZoCL-44E/YIVwtBUkr0I/AAAAAAAAFkA/qKbreGuA_UIVrKd4bRV3ybeWnJSNOYilwCLcBGAsYHQ/s3296/IMG_6358.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZGtZoCL-44E/YIVwtBUkr0I/AAAAAAAAFkA/qKbreGuA_UIVrKd4bRV3ybeWnJSNOYilwCLcBGAsYHQ/w504-h551/IMG_6358.JPG" width="504" height="551" border="0" data-original-height="3296" data-original-width="3016" /></a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">After assessing my skin condition and cleared my doubt, she recommended doing a soothing and brightening facial, Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT). It includes a bit of extraction, serum infusion, sheet mask, and a combination of Cryotherapy technology.</span></p>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Cryotherapy is a general use of low temperatures in medical therapy. It uses an electric current to penetrate essential vitamins into the skin. This treatment is suitable for sensitive skin while giving you glowing skin without any irritation and congested pores. The serum infusion and vitamins are great for skin brightening and instantly soothing and energising the skin.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FXI0goAUGuo/YIWKYgfBfJI/AAAAAAAAFkI/v7vtUwtQ7RMbfi6LSyBzfTw9Ys1L7QFXQCLcBGAsYHQ/s3088/IMG_5329.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-FXI0goAUGuo/YIWKYgfBfJI/AAAAAAAAFkI/v7vtUwtQ7RMbfi6LSyBzfTw9Ys1L7QFXQCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h641/IMG_5329.jpg" width="480" height="641" border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" /></a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>After the cleaning, a bit of extraction and microdermabrasion have done. It followed by the serum injection combine with cryotherapy treatment. I like the glowing serum on my skin and felt like I was having a face massage, but it used machine massage instead. The sheet mask also combined with the cryotherapy and followed by 10-15 mins of rest.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-guBRMyncedU/YIWKmqfYvHI/AAAAAAAAFkM/YDx-IfcF6Z4-JYztCfYPrl2GexvvLGZpgCLcBGAsYHQ/s3088/IMG_5341.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-guBRMyncedU/YIWKmqfYvHI/AAAAAAAAFkM/YDx-IfcF6Z4-JYztCfYPrl2GexvvLGZpgCLcBGAsYHQ/w480-h640/IMG_5341.jpg" width="480" height="640" border="0" data-original-height="3088" data-original-width="2316" /></a></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The facial was fast, and it took less than an hour. The consultant shared that she has to move around the machine on my face and can't stay in one area for too long after the vitamin and serum infusion as it may be too rich on my skin and may cause pimple on my face.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div>Here's the photo before and after the facial (NO FILTER, NO MAKEUP).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Notice that my sensitive skin that causes the redness on my skin is much better after using the products regularly and the CTT facial treatment.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wgK1lKMZb78/YIWLLi3RVDI/AAAAAAAAFkc/ltMPQe_C13A5VrLlYPS2ptXd-Wi8-QBsACLcBGAsYHQ/s3952/IMG_6356.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wgK1lKMZb78/YIWLLi3RVDI/AAAAAAAAFkc/ltMPQe_C13A5VrLlYPS2ptXd-Wi8-QBsACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h586/IMG_6356.JPG" width="640" height="586" border="0" data-original-height="3620" data-original-width="3952" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<br />
<div>My skin was really brightened up after the facial, and after a while, I could see the glowing effect on my face. It wasn't much redness on my skin resulted from the extraction, besides the most obvious one would be my stubborn acne and whitehead. But eventually, the next day would get better. Most importantly, my skin is clear from those whiteheads and blackheads. Although it was not completely clear, as the consultant didn't extract those not supposed to extract out yet in case my pore clogged and it would cause acne on my skin after the treatment.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>

[ Celeste ] My Facial Journey with IDS Aesthetics

<p>New year, new facial treatment. In the previous IDS, Innovative Dermatological Solutions, Skincare post, I touched on the new range of skincare products for my 2021 skincare routine. Now that some time has passed and my skin has adapted to the new routine, it&rsquo;s time for a follow-up.</p>

[ Shi Hui ] IDS Aesthetics Facial Treatment Review

<p>Dr Brendan Khong (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/brendannnnk/?hl=en">@brendannnnk</a>) shares his 10-step skincare regime and more. &nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You may have heard of Dr Brendan Khong earlier this year who attracted lots of media hype with his incredibly glass-like skin, so much so that New York City based beauty website @<a href="https://intothegloss.com/2019/02/brendan-khong-beauty-routine/">IntoTheGloss</a> and later <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6749347/Meet-emergency-room-doctor-dewy-glowing-complexion-envy-thousands.html">Daily Mail Australia</a> ran interviews of his beauty regime. Originally from Singapore but currently living and working in Bristol, United Kingdom, Dr Khong shares what it takes to achieve skin like his.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><br /><strong>How did it all begin?</strong></p>
<p>Not going to lie, I&rsquo;ve been blessed with relatively good skin all my life. But genetics doesn&rsquo;t dictate how your skin ages. I know that we can&rsquo;t change our genetics but we can control the extrinsic factors, such as the sun, pollution, smoking, skincare choices and nutrition. Consistency is really the key to everything that you do. That said, do I have lazy days? 100%! &nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How did you learn about IDS? </strong></p>
<p>Every day we are bombarded with social ads, clever marketing gimmicks and beautifully retouched images. It was in 2015 when I discovered IDS through a friend. While researching on the services that IDS offers, I came across many highly-raved skincare product reviews and aesthetic treatments which seemed to have worked for many. My interest was piqued.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although I felt like there was a lot of hype surrounding IDS, I decided to find out for myself. I tried making an appointment weeks in advance for a consultation to see how I could take my skin to the next level.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What was your experience at IDS Clinic like? </strong></p>
<p>The first thing that I noticed when I stepped into IDS Clinic was how polite and organised everything was. As a savvy customer who has been to many different clinics, this really set IDS Clinic apart. The consultation with Dr YX Lum was detailed, thorough and she took into account my skin conditions at the time. What I like about Dr Lum is that she is honest, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. After the consultation, I was so convinced that I felt the urge to buy EVERYTHING but Dr Lum advised that I should probably try a few products first before committing fully.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What do you look for in skincare products? </strong></p>
<p>As a medical doctor, I am naturally most interested in the ingredients that go into my skincare. Do I believe that natural is better? No. Are chemicals bad for the skin? No. H2O is a chemical. My pet peeve are the scare mongering natural-is-better brands. Being a skincare aficionado, I have tried and gone through many bottles, jars and tubes of skincare products. I do not believe in products that claim to fix it all with just one application. But when I find a skincare range that works, I would stick to it. IDS Skincare is one - C-Plus (C+) is one of my &lsquo;holy grail&rsquo; products.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When I first started with IDS Clinic, I had generally good skin but I wanted to future-proof my skin. I want my skin to glow so much so that you can see your future in it! I believe that my IDS regime has helped get me there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What is your IDS regime like? </strong></p>
<p>In the morning, I cleanse with 1) <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/delicate-cleanser">Delicate Cleanser (C2)</a> which is low foaming and doesn&rsquo;t strip the skin of essential moisture. Surface dryness is a huge problem and using the wrong cleanser can exacerbate the problem. Next comes 2) <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/c-plus-1">C-Plus (C+)</a>, which is one of my favourite serums of all time. I go through at least 3 bottles a year! This little wonder supports collagen production, lightens any post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and provides the skin with essential nutrition to support the deeper layers. The water-like texture of this serum also allows for layering. I also love that this vitamin C serum doesn&rsquo;t cause any irritation nor stings my skin. Depending on the time of year, I sometimes use 3) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/pore-formula">Pore Formula (PF)</a> which keeps my pores taut and prevents an oil slick from occurring. The 4)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/rejuvenating-complex-1">Rejuvenating Complex (RC)</a> which I use from my hairline to my d&eacute;colletage, is an anti-aging wonder that supports the collagen layers and relaxes any fine lines and wrinkles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Living in a pollution-ridden city like London, protecting the skin against pollution is very important and that&rsquo;s why I use 5) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/dermashield-serum-1">DermaShield Serum (DS)</a>. Depending on the season, 6) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/oil-free-moisturizer-2">Oil-free moisturiser (OM)</a> or <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/intensive-moisturizer">Intensive Moisturiser (IM)</a> is next, followed by 7) <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/eye-rescue-1">Eye Rescue (ER)</a>. A generous coating of 8) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/non-tinted-sunscreen-spf50-pa">Non-Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ (S2)</a> and 9) <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/tinted-sunscreen-spf50-pa">Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ (S1)</a> seals everything in. Depending on where I&rsquo;m going that day, I sometimes use 10) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/diamond-dust-perfector-1">Diamond-Dust Perfector (DD)</a>, which has diamond powder to help even out my complexion. It is also important to re-apply sunscreen throughout the day &ndash; I bring S1 everywhere I go! I know it sounds like a lot, but layering your products gives that added layer of protection to the skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My evening skincare routine starts with <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/cleansing-milk">Cleansing Milk (C3)</a>, and then everything as above minus the sunscreens and DD. I sometimes replace C+ with <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/a-plus">A-Plus (A+)</a> as the Retinaldehyde penetrates deeper into the dermal layer to stimulate the fibroblast cells and it really helps to refine the skin. A couple of times a week, I will also use <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/probiotic-mask">Probiotic Mask (PM)</a> mixed with <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/derm-probiotic">DermProbiotic</a> to prevent unwanted breakouts, especially around the jawline, where I shave.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Sounds like a lot indeed! How long is your skincare regime? </strong></p>
<p>You&rsquo;d probably think that it&rsquo;d take a long time for me to apply all my products. However, I am happy to report that it takes less than 8 minutes to get everything onto my face and neck!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What facial treatments have you tried? </strong></p>
<p>IDS Aesthetics Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) or Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT) - both of which include extractions &ndash; my favourite part in a facial. Extractions are vital in keeping your pores clean. If clogged pores are not clean, they cannot be minimised. I strongly believe that facial treatments have to go hand in hand with your daily skincare regime in order to optimise your skin condition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What are the 3 IDS products that you&rsquo;ll recommend to everyone? </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/delicate-cleanser">Delicate Cleanser (C2)</a>, <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/c-plus-1">C-Plus (C+)</a> and <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/tinted-sunscreen-spf50-pa">Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ (S1)</a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Last but not the least &hellip;</strong></p>
<p>Ever since embarking on my journey with IDS, family, friends, and even strangers have all commented on my skin. I&rsquo;ve also converted many to become fans of IDS. My mum is now a regular at IDS and she loves the products too!</p>

The Secret To This Doctor's Glassy Skin

<p data-adtags-visited="true">2 weeks back .. i went to IDS for a review and facial ! This time i brought my ah lao along ! He saw a significant improve in his complexion after using *ahem* my products lOL and decided to join me for my facial LOL.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">I was booked on a Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT) targeting dull and sensitive skin. I love it that my therapist was very patient in explaining what she is doing to my face. cleansing, extracting, repairing and penetrating with serums and masking. The whole process was very soothing and calming. * check out my ids highlight on my ig <a class="mention" href="https://littlekutu.wordpress.com/mentions/littlekutu/"><span class="mentions-prefix">@</span>littlekutu</a> !! btw.. the brightening and glow on my face after the facial lasted for a whole week. my pores looks significantly smaller and skin are definitely more supple. i think this was really different to the facial that i did many years back at other salon, which includes extraction that left my complexion red and angry for a few days. i was quite traumatised with that and i nv went for any facial anymore lOL. i was really worried that i kept asking the IDS therapist if the extraction gona be painful and if theres any &rdquo; downtime&rdquo; for my skin to recover loll&hellip; THANKFULLY I EXPERIENCE NONE OF THAT. she was really gentle and i experience zero pain. not only that, i love the icy cold cyroprobe that were use to soothe the face after the extraction. super shiok.</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">&nbsp;</p>
<p data-adtags-visited="true">Here are the snippets of my igstory of my facial. Documenting the whole process of the facial! From cleansing, extracting, repairing to masking! And check out the final pic after facial with zero make up on.</p>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: left;" align="center"><span class="s1">It has been almost 1 month plus since I tried the <strong><a href="http://babylingrkm.blogspot.com/2021/03/part-02-my-ids-journey-with-ids-clinic.html?m=1">Hydro Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</a>.</strong> I was back again to <strong>IDS&nbsp;</strong><span class="s2"><strong>Aesthetics&nbsp;</strong></span>for my skin review and for another round of treatment.&nbsp;As part of my collaboration with <strong>IDS</strong>, I was supposed to go for a laser therapy. I was thankful that <strong>IDS</strong> allowed me to change this to a facial treatment, as I am not ready to receive treatments that involve extreme high heat and numbing cream. I was given the&nbsp;</span><span class="s2"><strong>Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT)</strong></span><span class="s1">, and it is suitable for dull and sensitive skin. It is&nbsp;the coldest facial in IDS, as it uses <strong>Cryotheraphy Technology</strong> to tone up the skin and restore skin firmness.</span></p>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: left;" align="center"><span class="s1">The treatment starts with a double cleansing, first with cleansing milk, and then followed by a refreshing cleanser.&nbsp;After this a microdermabrasion machine was used to to exfoliate the skin. The next step was the one I disliked the most as it was the extraction process and an amount of pain was to be expected. I dislike this part the most whenever I do facials, as I have a very low threshold for pain. However, to my surprise the extraction procedure was pretty&nbsp;pleasant, and I literally didn&rsquo;t feel any pain at all! I totally love the painless experience at<strong> IDS&nbsp;</strong></span><strong>Aesthetics</strong>.</p>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: left;" align="center"><span class="s1">Next was my favorite segment of my facial treatment &ndash; <strong>Serum Infusions</strong>. I love the goodness of the serum (Vitamins and Brighteners) which were massaged into my skin.</span></p>
<p class="p2" align="center">&nbsp;</p>
<span class="s1">To end off the facial, I was given a hydrating sheet mask with a generous amount of essence. I was then left to rest for a good 10 minutes while the skin absorbed all the goodness from the mask. My skin felt bouncy and hydrated&nbsp;after the treatment</span></div>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: left;" align="center"><span class="s1">This bare-faced photo was taken a few days after the treatment, and my complexion&nbsp;was noticeably clearer.&nbsp;Needless to say, I was pretty happy with my facial post-treatment. If you're like me, you probably prefer facials that promises sustainable results rather than some facial skin-loving effects that are short lived.</span></p>

<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: left;">My skin actually looked brighter, firmer and my complexion looked distinctly more even. My skin didn&rsquo;t feel dry nor left any reddish looking skin after treatment. In fact, my skin felt a lot more smoother than before! I have even started to go out bare-faced without any makeup whenever I leave home, as I found my skin is now looking healthier and has a natural radiance. I would highly recommend this treatment to those who have sensitive and/or dry skin to help them.</div>

<p class="p1" style="text-align: left;" align="center"><span class="s1">The <strong>C-PLUS (C+)</strong> and <strong>X4 </strong>are my &lsquo;holy grail&rsquo; products, as they help me to counter my pigmentation/freckles issues as well as uneven skin tones.

<p>It has been almost 1 month plus since I tried the Hydro Therapeutics Treatment (HTT). I was back again to IDS Aesthetics for my skin review and for another round of treatment.</p>

[ Jess Baby ] [Part 03] My IDS Journey with IDS Aesthetics - Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT)

<p>On my first visit to <a href="https://www.idsclinic.com/">IDS</a>, I had my skin condition assessed and was prescribed a customised set of IDS Skincare products to use for a month before coming back for my second appointment where I would have a facial done as well.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was really happy to know that my skin hydration level was now better and I actually felt that it was better able to absorb products that I apply onto it too. Point to note though, it helps alot to massage your face while applying it. Feels so relaxing and I enjoyed my morning and nightly routine of doing this while applying the different products.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>My Second Visit: <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/pepblu-deep">Pep.Blu DEEP Facial</a></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now when it comes to keeping our skin lifted, I do think the massaging helps to a certain extent but there comes a point when it can't bring about any further improvements or reverse aging effects.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well fret not, of course there are solutions. And one of these solutions I recently tried is the <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/pepblu-deep">Pep.Blu DEEP Facial</a> treatment at <a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com">IDS Aesthetics.&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;This innovative treatment uses a unique and non-invasive DEEP Electropration Technology to create access in the skin in order to allow the absorption of the solution right to the hypodermic and muscle membranes which typically is not possible if used along with traditional penetration machines or devices instead.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Along with the proprietary Pep.Blu Serum, this facial treatment can deliver a potent amount of skin lightening ingredients into the dermis and stimulate cells to increase collagen levels as well as fibroblast and elastin levels. What does this all mean? Put simply, there's a noticeable lifting effect!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In fact, fine lines and wrinkles can effectively be reduced while leaving the skin rejuvenated and firmer. This really is a great anti-aging facial treatment which I highly recommend if you're afraid of needles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>What to expect</h4>
<p>- Firmer skin that looks lifted</p>
<p>- Brighter skin tone</p>
<p>- More toned facial muscles</p>
<p>- Improved skin clarity and elasticity</p>
<p>- A sharper jawline / V shape contour</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>The Facial Treatment Process</h4>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It starts off with a Double Cleanse to prepare the skin for the treatment followed by a MDX/HydroD procedure which really is a Water dermabrasion using multi minerals packed solution. This really was very comfortable in case you're wondering.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After the Water dermabrasion, the Pep.Blu DEEP and Pep.Blu Serum were applied before the Pep. Blu Mask and LED were placed on my face.</p>
<p>Again this was a very comfortable process and I just felt so relaxed throughout the facial.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After the mask was removed, moisturiser was applied on my face followed by sunscreen and I was off to teach classes again =)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Review of the use of <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/36077686/3035075905016220766">IDS Skincare Products </a>after a month.</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/36077686/3035075905016220766">1. Pore Formula</a></p>
<p>This ultra light pore refining solution with NEULASTIN absorbs into my skin so easily and I actually noticed that the size of my pores are smaller. This is great for those who need some help to reduce the occurrence of blackheads and whiteheads as well to reduce the size of your pores.</p>

<p>After 2 months of using this serum, I feel that my skin is less oily during the day and some of the sun spots that I had though faint were literally disappearing.</p>
<p>Clear and lightweight, its so easily absorbed into the skin. I'd recommend this to those who need something to help reduce fine lines and wrinkles while lightening the marks from blemishes for a more even skin tone.</p>

<p>This is really one of the reasons why the moisture level in my skin improved over the past month. With ingredients within it including Elastin and Sodium Hyaluronate, it works to bring up the suppleness and youth factor in our skin and I noticed that the fine lines I had became much more faint.</p>

<p>Since using this serum for the past 2 months, I noticed that the redness on the creases at the sides of my nose have gone away. That used to be an area where redness and irritation showed up and you could even notice tiny capillaries when that happens. Happy to say that I can't really spot the tiny red lines now thanks to this serum that provides anti-aging care for sensitive skin and improves capillary integrity too.</p>

[ That Mom of Four ] The IDS (Innovative Dermatological Solutions) Journey - Second Visit

<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/shares/Gwendolyn%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s been a while since I last went for a facial appointment. Fortunately, back on the second week of April, I received a pampering facial session at <strong>IDS Aesthetics. </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once at IDS, I was ushered in for a brief consultation with Dr Michelle Wong whom analysed my skin condition again. The proposed facial treatment for me was the <strong>Hydro Therapeutics Treatment, </strong>which targets clogged pores and blackheads, as well as hydrating and brightening up my skin. It is also one of their more popular treatments for general maintenance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The one-hour treatment comprises a series of steps including cleansing, extraction and mask. The therapist was gentle yet thorough, especially during the extraction process. It was then that she brought to my attention the few milia on my cheek area which I could seek further treatment for in the future.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Procedure</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Double cleansing</li>
<li>MDX (microdermabrasion) / HydroD (water dermabrasion including use of multi minerals solution)</li>
<li>Ultrasonic cleansing</li>
<li>Extractions</li>
<li>Ultrasonic penetration of vitamin C</li>
<li>Mask &ndash; whitening, soothing or anti-acne</li>
<li>Moisturizer</li>
<li>Sunscreen</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Some of the immediate results I could see after the treatment were the less visible blackheads on my nose area and the overall fresher, supple complexion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/shares/Gwendolyn%202nd%202.jpg" alt="before" />Before</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Facial treatment is definitely not a one-off affair. What comes after is as important too. And with that in mind, I will be keeping up my <a href="http://www.oo-foodielicious.com/ids-clinic-skincare-products-routine/">skincare routine</a>!</p>

[ oo-foodielicious ] IDS Aesthetics – Hydro Therapeutics Facial Treatment for Bright, Youthful Skin

<p>I&rsquo;m a person who does not spend too much time dolling myself up before heading out of the house. My favorite make-up item is eyeliner, and YES, I simply can&rsquo;t live without it. Therefore having a radiant and healthy skin is a must so that I can put as little coverage on my face as possible. My favorite days are when I can just apply sunscreen and loose powder, and I am good to go!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Jessie%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It has been almost 2 months since I started on the skincare products produced by<strong> IDS Skincare</strong>. (Click <a href="http://babylingrkm.blogspot.com/2021/01/part-01-my-ids-journey-with-ids-clinic.html">here</a> for my part 01 of my IDS journey) I was back to <strong>IDS&nbsp;</strong>again<strong>&nbsp;</strong>for my skin review and facial treatment.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am very particular in choosing the correct facial treatments for me due to my sensitive skin. I am glad that <strong>IDS</strong> has arranged a&nbsp;<strong>Hydro Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</strong> for me.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Jessie%202nd%202.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dr Ben Yim has been monitoring closely on my pigmentations on my face since my first visit to him. According to him, my skin issue is improving but it's at a snail crawling speed.... He advised me to continue applying my affected areas with <strong>&lsquo;IDS X4&rsquo;</strong>, until my next visit. Overall, my complexion has become brighter as compared to previously.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Jessie%202nd%203.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Apart from that, the dry skin condition around my nose area has improved significantly after using the <strong>Recovery Serum</strong> and <strong>Moisture Boost</strong>! I am so happy to say bye-bye to my annoying peeling/flaky skin!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Jessie%202nd%204.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The <strong>Hydro Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</strong> is a 4-step facial treatment that promises brighter and radiant skin in under an hour, and it received multiple cosmeceutical facial awards over the past years! It is super gentle and comfortable, yet effective and really helps get rid of the dead skin cells and impurities/dirt on my face. They use the best technology combined with effective skin products to achieve the best results.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Jessie%202nd%205.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The&nbsp;<strong>HTT</strong>&nbsp;is a 60-minute facial which is suitable for all skin types, and it focuses on deep cleansing to remove facial impurities, unclog pores and balance sebum production. It also helps to regenerate skin cells, increase collagen production and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. After the treatment, my skin felt really clear, radiant and smooth! I was also surprised at how bright my skin was immediately after.</p>

<p>It has been almost 2 months since I started on the skincare products produced by IDS Skincare. I was back to IDS again<strong>&nbsp;</strong>for my skin review and facial treatment.</p>

[ Jess Baby ] [part 02] My IDS Journey with IDS Aesthetics - Hydro Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)

<p>Recently, I dropped by IDS again for a facial and follow-up with my dermatologist. As I have not done facial in a while and one of my biggest concerns was my enlarged pores, the beautician recommended <strong>Hydro Therapeutics Treatment&nbsp;</strong>which targets clogged pores and stubborn blackheads.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The treatment goes through various layers of cleansing to remove build-up and accumulated dirt, leaving us with a brighter and clearer by the end of the facial. The&nbsp;<strong>Hydro Therapeutics Treatment&nbsp;</strong>is suitable for all skin types, with your beautician customising your treatment steps for you.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<h3>1) Double cleanse</h3>

<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">
<h3>2) Microdermabrasion</h3>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3VcJTbLiSY4/YGCgc72JqMI/AAAAAAAAEG8/W3nUx3lczskitly3eE5gxsmmgXZtwWIiwCPcBGAYYCw/s800/ezgif-7-572c9b6957f0.gif"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3VcJTbLiSY4/YGCgc72JqMI/AAAAAAAAEG8/W3nUx3lczskitly3eE5gxsmmgXZtwWIiwCPcBGAYYCw/w480-h640/ezgif-7-572c9b6957f0.gif" width="480" height="640" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" /></a>
<div class="pinit-wrapper">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">This is a process that will soften my pores, and prepare my face for extraction.&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">
<h3>3) Ultrasonic cleansing</h3>
<br />
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eCDWcN96b4U/YGCgdrUENuI/AAAAAAAAEG4/OMqf1y9iU_MMhdfVBdPzMuMIGCEm2RPCgCPcBGAYYCw/s800/ezgif-7-b1639ca61b93.gif"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eCDWcN96b4U/YGCgdrUENuI/AAAAAAAAEG4/OMqf1y9iU_MMhdfVBdPzMuMIGCEm2RPCgCPcBGAYYCw/w480-h640/ezgif-7-b1639ca61b93.gif" width="480" height="640" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" /></a>
<div class="pinit-wrapper">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<h3>4) Extractions</h3>
<div>No photos of the extraction process because I was terrified! I have very low pain tolerance (I almost fainted when I pierced my ears, no joke) so this is my least favourite step of every facial. Ironically, it is precisely because I don't go for facials often enough that my pores are clogged up, creating more dirt for extraction.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The beautician was extremely gentle with my skin during extraction and I only experienced slight pain during the extraction process &mdash; if your pain tolerance is any higher than mine, you'll probably only experience discomfort, or even fall asleep. I was very impressed by her skills!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<h3>5) Ultrasonic penetration of vitamin C&nbsp;</h3>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-51Md-M_8PPg/YGCgdeYecEI/AAAAAAAAEG8/1rCfLGd9KTsrnxP9sfJF0LGQD38kHQBVgCPcBGAYYCw/s800/ezgif-7-6942f493e9ec.gif"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-51Md-M_8PPg/YGCgdeYecEI/AAAAAAAAEG8/1rCfLGd9KTsrnxP9sfJF0LGQD38kHQBVgCPcBGAYYCw/w480-h640/ezgif-7-6942f493e9ec.gif" width="480" height="640" border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" /></a>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>There was no down-time to speak of &mdash; I only saw minimal redness, even on places with the most extractions taking place (my chin and nose). I went out for a dinner bare-faced right after the facial, and didn't even feel self-conscious. My family also commented that my face seemed less clogged up and immediately brighter after the facial :')</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>After my facial, I met Dr Ian Tan, my dermatologist, again to discuss my skin concerns. One of the issues that popped up during the month I was using IDS Skincare&rsquo;s products was the area around my eyes that seem to be perpetually dry.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Dr Ian Tan noted that I might have extra-sensitive skin around that area and thus, prescribed me a product to combat that issue (<strong>ER - Eye Rescue</strong>), along with an anti-ageing product (<strong>A-Plus</strong>).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<h3>ER - Eye Rescue</h3>
</div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c8VVqoP1gZU/YGCgcfyS8_I/AAAAAAAAEG4/qSqTBnwuoGIXLIzE3pNS_i91BzP_D2wIACPcBGAYYCw/s2048/IMG_9317.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-c8VVqoP1gZU/YGCgcfyS8_I/AAAAAAAAEG4/qSqTBnwuoGIXLIzE3pNS_i91BzP_D2wIACPcBGAYYCw/w640-h640/IMG_9317.JPG" width="640" height="640" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" /></a>
<div class="pinit-wrapper">&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This moisturising eye cream is meant to reduce wrinkles and refresh the area around our eyes. According to Dr Ian Tan, the concentrate can be used either before or after putting on moisturiser.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8L_zL48Hd4/YGChjbSlWsI/AAAAAAAAEHY/u7Yk0SAS-3I-RWEH7yeREnz_FvgzotEYQCPcBGAYYCw/s2048/IMG_9414.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8L_zL48Hd4/YGChjbSlWsI/AAAAAAAAEHY/u7Yk0SAS-3I-RWEH7yeREnz_FvgzotEYQCPcBGAYYCw/w640-h480/IMG_9414.JPG" width="640" height="480" border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" /></a></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>A little pump goes a long way &mdash; this amount is enough to cover the area around both of my eyes!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I enjoy how comforting <strong>ER - Eye Rescue</strong> feels; it usually soothes my irritated skin immediately upon application.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<h3>A-Plus</h3>

<div class="separator">Dr Ian Tan recommended me to mix the <strong>A-Plus</strong> together with my <strong>RS - Recovery Serum</strong> as I have dry skin.

[ Yi Tsing ] IDS Aesthetics Facial Review - Hydro Therapeutics Treatment

<p>I made my second visit to <strong><a href="https://www.ids-group.co/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDS</a></strong>&nbsp;for doctor review and a pampering facial that I am in need of.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With the heatiness that has accumulating in my body due to having too much Chinese New Year cookies, it resulted in skin breakouts recently. During my consultation with&nbsp;Dr Michelle Wong, she assessed my issues and prescribed me a new product,&nbsp;<strong>Blemish Clear (BC)</strong>, to be incorporated into my night skincare regime. Dr Michelle has also recommended&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://idsaesthetics.com/services/hydrotherapeutics-treatment-htt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hydro Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</a></strong>&nbsp;which will help to clear up my skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1uKGhPtRNfE/YFbR91uRHXI/AAAAAAAA2dE/k6yJSkvcy9sLyDgRmb4RTdYLn3NCqgCnQCLcBGAsYHQ/s686/IMG_9387%2B%25282%2529.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1uKGhPtRNfE/YFbR91uRHXI/AAAAAAAA2dE/k6yJSkvcy9sLyDgRmb4RTdYLn3NCqgCnQCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9387%2B%25282%2529.JPG" border="0" data-original-height="686" data-original-width="477" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">Shortly after the consultation, I was led to <a href="https://idsaesthetics.com/">IDS Aesthetics</a> who offers medically and technologically advanced treatments targeting at our skin woes within shortest possible time, and brought into one of the many rooms for my treatment.&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>

<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cktezhPqpq4/YFbW_ED1zjI/AAAAAAAA2dM/MIWaRxYqpjY6T0EkK2xAmPPP55HQjvLlACLcBGAsYHQ/s657/IMG_9357.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cktezhPqpq4/YFbW_ED1zjI/AAAAAAAA2dM/MIWaRxYqpjY6T0EkK2xAmPPP55HQjvLlACLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9357.JPG" border="0" data-original-height="657" data-original-width="488" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">HTT is a quick 60 minute treatment suitable for all skin types, recommended for people with clogged pores and blackheads. The deep cleansing treatment removes accumulated dirt, product build-up and clogged sebum, giving us a crystal clear skin after the treatment.</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">The facial treatment started with <strong>Double Cleansing</strong> to remove the dirt and sebum on my skin.&nbsp;</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t4JTLLEnlBw/YFb1vrI-oRI/AAAAAAAA2dU/IVjzaFYAGMEEg3MXWVzTJf7aKM5zNu6igCLcBGAsYHQ/s649/IMG_9366.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-t4JTLLEnlBw/YFb1vrI-oRI/AAAAAAAA2dU/IVjzaFYAGMEEg3MXWVzTJf7aKM5zNu6igCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9366.JPG" border="0" data-original-height="649" data-original-width="487" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">Next was <strong>Microdermabrasion</strong> which make use of a gentle vacuum device to suck out the dead skin cells on the skin surface and minimise clogged pores, to prepare my skin for the extraction. No discomfort experienced.</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">It was followed by <strong>Ultrasonic Cleansing</strong> to exfoliate, loosen the stubborn blackheads and whiteheads stuck in the pores, the treatment was gentle and comfortable on skin. I was silently hoping that this could be longer because i was dragging the process coming up next.&nbsp;</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ig0gwa2EhIk/YF6S_WzEokI/AAAAAAAA2ek/LoD1x8VHNnUswnD8TLXX10bEVvX4dO4qwCLcBGAsYHQ/s657/IMG_9358.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Ig0gwa2EhIk/YF6S_WzEokI/AAAAAAAA2ek/LoD1x8VHNnUswnD8TLXX10bEVvX4dO4qwCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9358.JPG" border="0" data-original-height="657" data-original-width="461" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">The <strong>Extraction</strong> was the only part that I have to endure the pain throughout, no complain on that because the end result of the extraction will be a clean skin and clogged pores are removed.</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>

<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">The tough part was over and time to truly enjoy the facial. The therapist used <strong>Ultrasonic Penetration of Vitamin C</strong>, allowing my skin to absorb the Vitamin C essence for skin soothing, healing the blemish and promote skin radiance.</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jMV6haZd4y4/YFcIkT25j3I/AAAAAAAA2dk/nmLjXzujIRcY1WTdHxPBAXmGyPzUBvr7QCLcBGAsYHQ/s653/IMG_9380.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jMV6haZd4y4/YFcIkT25j3I/AAAAAAAA2dk/nmLjXzujIRcY1WTdHxPBAXmGyPzUBvr7QCLcBGAsYHQ/s16000/IMG_9380.JPG" border="0" data-original-height="653" data-original-width="491" /></a></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">As my skin is prone to acne, the therapist applied a cooling anti-acne&nbsp;<strong>Mask</strong>. The mask was freezing cold because the mask was taken out from the fridge. It was very cooling but comfortable, it helped to soothe and nourish my skin, reduced the redness from extraction and keep my skin hydrated.</div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">The facial ended off with the application of <strong>Moisturizer</strong> and <strong>Sunscreen</strong>. My skin felt clean after the blackheads and whiteheads were de-clogged, immediately my skin looked refreshing and oil free.&nbsp;</div>

<div class="separator"><strong>(BC) Blemish Clear</strong></div>
<div class="separator">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="separator">This product is suitable for people with active breakouts and blemishes. It helps to treat active and inflamed pimples and prevents new breakouts. BC has a more creamy texture that should be applied only on affected areas.&nbsp;</div>

<div class="separator">BC definitely helps to control my acne breakouts. I did not experience new breakouts and current acnes are healing. My skin also get less sensitive as compared to using the previous skincare regime.</div>

<p>I made my second visit to IDS&nbsp;for doctor review and a pampering facial that I am in need of. With the heatiness that has accumulating in my body due to having too much Chinese New Year cookies, it resulted in skin breakouts recently.</p>

[ ShuQing ] IDS Journey: Hydro Therapeutics Treatment at IDS Aesthetics

<p>Hey people!<br /><br />In February, I visited <strong><a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/" target="_self" rel="nofollow">IDS Aesthetics</a></strong> with a jawline breakout and tried the <strong><a href="https://gilmangirl.livejournal.com/671926.html" target="_self" rel="nofollow">Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</a>. </strong>It was much needed to unclog my pores, flatten my pimple bumps and lighten those hideous acne marks.<br /><br />By the time I went for my next consultation with Dr Benjamin Yim in the next month, the dark marks along my jawline were barely visible. Talk about tremendous and speedy improvements! <br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8b/d5/68/8bd56806cdec212ca230219a8385802f.jpg" width="720" height="540" /><br /><br /></p>
<p>As part of my collaboration with IDS, I was supposed to go for a laser therapy in my 3rd session. Nonetheless, I was uncomfortable with it because my facial skin is sensitive towards treatments that involve heat.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thankfully, IDS understood my concerns and recommended me to go for a <strong>Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT)</strong> instead. Apparently, both CTT and HTT were the most popular facial in IDS. What an honour for me to try them both! The CTT, in particular, is suitable for dull and sensitive skin. It also happens to be the coldest facial in IDS!</p>
<p><br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f5/57/a2/f557a2faa966ef3a2782d1dff6af47a3.jpg" width="338" height="450" /></p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6d/de/bb/6ddebb9de4e034d1294452db6c4bd6bb.jpg" width="338" height="450" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My skin may react badly to heat but when it comes to anything cold, it embraces it! Thus, I was happy as a lark to go for the CTT because I knew that i would enjoy every moment of it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Similarly to the HTT, this facial is also a 1-hour process and it truly ends by the 1-hour mark. I love a thorough and non-daggy facial, especially when it was done by a meticulous beautician.</p>
<p><br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a4/36/6b/a4366bb148c84e5337ed728f27c6636b.jpg" width="338" height="450" /></p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1f/3b/b3/1f3bb3b867500cddadff8c4ccd09ba44.jpg" width="338" height="450" /><br /><br />After double cleansing, the facial started with microdermabrasion (pic on left) which uses a vacuum suction to exfoliate my dead skin cells. It also loosens the pores so that it could facilitate easy removal of whiteheads and blackheads during the extraction process.<br /><br />I was surprised at how minimal the pain was during extraction. I would usually wince when it comes to extracting whiteheads on my nose, but this time, the pain was so tolerable that I had hardly any reaction.<br /><br />With the help of a CryoProbe (pic on right), vitamins and brighteners were infused into my skin to nourish it with nutrients. The probe was chilling but I loved the sensation to bits! It was the most relaxing and <em>shiok</em> moment of the facial. <br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/9f/69/6f/9f696fc184767f8d515dea59b86b06a1.jpg" width="338" height="450" /></p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/28/ca/c6/28cac6c0c71da738b59bba58b834ae7c.jpg" width="338" height="450" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To end off the facial, I wore an absolutely hydrating sheet mask with a generous amount of essence. Once again, the CryoProbe was used to enhance the absorption of the essence into my skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was then left to rest for a good 15 minutes while the mask soothed my skin and worked its magic.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/9d/33/e8/9d33e84fd657ec53775c17027ffe295f.jpg" width="338" height="450" /></p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/61/e2/d4/61e2d4e3f5c96043861125d9603f18e2.jpg" width="342" height="450" /><br /><br />I could not believe my eyes when I saw how fabulous my skin looked right after the CTT. It just made me love this facial EVEN MORE!<br /><br />Honestly, I was already quite pleased with my skin condition when I came for my consultation, but the 'After' results told me that I could actually achieve better. The most obvious result was my brightened and glowy skin. My pores seemed to have shrunk immediately as well.<br /><br />Thanks to the cold temperature of the entire facial, it has helped to reduce redness on my face, leaving behind a fair and smooth complexion. I am sold! Can my skin look this good everyday? <br /><br /><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://i.pinimg.com/564x/f6/01/84/f60184c03c49622ea42d4277d5ff044f.jpg" width="405" height="540" /><br /><br />Besides walking out of IDS Aesthetics with a bare face and immense skin confidence, I left with a bag of lovely skincare goodies, customized to my skin type as well.<br /><br />IDS was such a dear to top up my customized skincare set even though I was not done with my current stash yet. Oh well, happy to have new ones to turn to when I run out of my products! Thank you IDS for taking care of my skin for the past 4 months!</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After reviewing a series of <a href="https://chaptersofescapism.com/2021/02/24/customized-skincare-products-ids-skincare-review/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>customized skin care products</strong></a> from IDS Skincare as part of my IDS Journey, I was back again at IDS! For this time round, I would be reviewing a facial treatment which everyone of all skin types could benefit from.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>IDS Aesthetics Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment is a deep cleansing facial that removes accumulated dirt and clogged sebum. It is a useful treatment to maintain bright and clear skin without clogged pores, if done on a monthly basics.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After a consultation with Doctor Ian Tan who reviewed my skin condition, I was led to IDS Aesthetics. IDS Aesthetics is located right adjacent to IDS Skincare, where my facial treatment took place. I was in fact excited as my skin definitely needed pampering and cleansing. My weekly jogging routine has resulted in me having clogged pores from perspiration and environmental factors.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h5 id="h-ids-aesthetics-hydro-therapeutics-treatment-process">IDS Aesthetics Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment Process</h5>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The treatment started off with the cleansing of my face by my assigned facial therapist. I could smell the familiar lovely cleanser which I used from IDS Skincare!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The second step would be the ultrasonic cleansing, aided by a suction tool to remove dirt and clogged sebum. My facial therapist then proceed on with the extraction of my blackheads. Probably due to my large pores, my blackheads were easily removed without much pain.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The third step involves breaking down Vitamin C molecules into tinier particles for improved penetration. In other words, it is to aid cellular regeneration and increase collagen regeneration. I could tell she covered my face with Vitamin C for my &ldquo;thirsty&rdquo; skin to absorb.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Last but not least, it was time for a mask that has whitening, soothing and anti-acne properties. My facial therapist even made the effort to apply the excess serum onto my mask before I took a power nap. The mask was so soothing and my face did not show any redness after the facial treatment.</p>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Its been more than a month since I last visited IDS for a&nbsp;<a href="https://reviewgalore.blogspot.com/2021/01/my-first-skincare-experience-at-ids.html">skin consultation</a> and I am back again to experience my first facial treatment with them. How exciting! As my last facial with my regular facial salon was almost 3 months ago, I am definitely looking forward to having my first facial treatment with IDS Aesthetics for a glowy me!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Personally, I found facial treatments to be therapeutic. Not only do they bring back the bounce in the skin, they help replenish the moisture levels, even out the skin&rsquo;s texture and appearance and with regular visits, they may just solve your skin issues.</div>
<div class="google-auto-placed ap_container">&nbsp;</div>
<div>
<div>From having acne, blemishes, pigmentation, wrinkles or fine lines in your skin, to having firmer, clearer and healthier-looking skin in no time, a facial treatment is worth a consideration if you have skin troubles that regular skincare products just won&rsquo;t fix.&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Upon arrival, the usual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.safeentry.gov.sg/">Safe Entry</a>&nbsp;check-in procedures for contact tracing apply. Waited for a short 10 minutes before IDS consultant, Caline approached me and asked about my skin condition. I shared with her that my skin has been dehydrated and sensitive during the festive season and she recommended the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/hydrotherapeutics-treatment-htt">Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment</a>&nbsp;( HTT ) which was one of the two options, other than the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/cryo-therapeutics-treatment-ctt">Cryo Therapeutics Treatment</a>&nbsp;(CTT).&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Interestingly, she termed both as HTF ( F for facial ) and CTF ( F for facial ). Thereafter, I have to sign a form agreeing that the facial treatment has been explained to me and another form to confirm that a facial has been done by the facial therapist, Eileen. Standard Operating Procedure ( SOP ) is definitely in place. You can check out all the full range of facial treatment services on its&nbsp;<a href="https://idsaesthetics.com/services">website</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://idsaesthetics.com/award">various awards</a>&nbsp;under their belt.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Initially, I thought there would be a skin consultation by Dr. Michelle Wong first, to assess my skin condition, before heading for the facial as per conveyed by Michelle, the consultant who helped to arrange the appointment as well as another lady who called to confirm the appointment.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>However, on the actual day, it turned out that I would only get to see the doctor after the facial. Instead, Caline decided on the HTT after a quick consultation. I was told that this HTT would be soothing, calming and hydrating for my skin concerns for that day.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Please voice out if you have very sensitive skin or very dry and dehydrated skin so that IDS can recommend the correct facial treatment for you. Sometimes we know our own skin best especially when some issues cannot be seen by the naked eye.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I was then brought into a small and cosy treatment room for my 1 hour facial. Pretty, gentle and patient Eileen is my facial therapist and she made me feel very comfortable in her presence. Professional yet knowledgeable, she was able to answer all my queries with ease.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Unlike a regular facial, this quick facial treatment does not involve face steaming, eyebrow trimming, facial scrub and shoulder massage, hence it was not necessary to change to their robe. However, you can always add on other services, if required ( at additional costs, of course ).&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) / 60 minutes / S$211.86</strong></div>
<div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) is an award-winning facial treatment that works hard through various levels of deep cleansing to remove accumulated dirt, product build-up and clogged sebum that no regular cleanser can. Great for clogged pores and blackheads for brighter and clearer skin.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Benefits</em>&nbsp;: Crystal clear skin, unclogged pores, cellular regeneration, increase collagen production and&nbsp;</div>
<div>reduced lines and wrinkles.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Designed to provide quick and visible results, here's a summary of my&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/hydrotherapeutics-treatment-htt">Hydro-Therapeutics Facial Treatment</a>&nbsp;which was completed in 60 minutes....</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Step 1 : Double Cleansing&nbsp;</em></div>
<div>Essential for thorough cleansing,&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/refreshing-cleanser-1">IDS Cleansing Milk</a>&nbsp;(C3) was used to remove my sunscreen, followed by&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/refreshing-cleanser-1">IDS Refreshing Cleanser</a>&nbsp;(C1) to cleanse the skin.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Step 2 : MDX (microdermabrasion)</em></div>
<div>A non-invasive procedure where a crystal tip is passed over the skin to remove the upper layers of blemished skin and suction applied to remove the dead skin cells. It is used to smoothen and improve the texture of facial skin. Skin may feel tight post-treatment, depending on your skin condition that day.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Step 3 : Ultrasonic Cleansing</em></div>
<div>A treatment which utilises ultrasonic wave motion for the removal of aged surface skin cells, embedded dirt and debris and surface impurities such as blackheads and whiteheads from the skin.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Step 4 : Extractions</em></div>
<div>Extractions are vital in keeping the pores clean. The manual extraction of comedones does not really hurt as Eileen was quite gentle with me. I have been to other facial salons where my tears would be rolling down during extractions. HAHA. As expected, I have more blackheads on the nose and chin.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Step 5 : Ultrasonic Penetration Of Vitamin C</em></div>
<div>Vitamin C essence in the form of 2 syringes were applied using a mild electrical current to ensure optimum absorption into the deeper layers of the skin for brighter and firmer skin. There were some stinging sensations on the slight pigmentation spots on both cheeks but Eileen assured me that so long its not a burning sensation, it would be fine. However, I was still worried.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rotu1Hy_Pbk/YEIA1DmYDRI/AAAAAAAAQ-E/_fKks4ItaO47SKiGpHcPjj2GaXBfubEoACLcBGAsYHQ/w301-h400/IMG_0864.JPG" alt="IDS Hydro-Therapeutics Facial Treatment Experience" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">Ta-da! End of facial!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<br />
<div><em>Step 6 : Soothing Mask&nbsp;</em></div>
<div>Lastly, a herbal-scented soothing facial mask was applied on my face for 15 minutes to soothe the sensitive spots.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Step 7 : Moisturizer and Sunscreen</em></div>
<div>Before heading out,&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/intensive-moisturizer">IDS Intensive Moisturizer</a>&nbsp;(IM) and&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/non-tinted-sunscreen-spf50-pa">IDS Non-Tinted Sunscreen</a>&nbsp;(S2) were then applied to seal in all the goodness.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>5 minutes later, Caline ushered me into Dr. Michelle Wong's consultation room where I spent about 10 minutes with her - sharing on the facial treatment outcome, on the prescribed IDS products ( from last month ) and which laser I should be going for, in my next appointment with IDS.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Based on her observation, she has noticed my T-zone skin type is now less oily and more balanced after using IDS products at home. And with my concerns on uneven skin tone and large pores, she recommended&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsclinic.com/laser-therapy">Pico-lasers</a>&nbsp;for my next visit as Mosaic laser would be too intensive for a beginner like me.&nbsp;</div>
</div>
<div class="google-auto-placed ap_container">&nbsp;</div>
<div>Upon sensing my nervousness, she smiled and told me that lasers are so good and make skin so beautiful, almost implying that anyone would love it! HAHA!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>And just like that, I was out of IDS in less than 2 hours.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Summary&nbsp;</strong></div>
<div>
<div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>As a female, we always have a desire to have clear, radiant skin but due to lack of time, this becomes difficult. However, with IDS 60 minute facials, time-strapped individuals can now look forward to a deep cleanse and radiance boost accomplished over a lunch break.&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>IDS Hydro-Therapeutics Facial Treatment left my skin very smooth and pores were no longer clogged but clean and smaller. There was an overall dewy glow which lasted till the 3rd day after the facial. The slight pigmentation spot on the right cheek lightened slightly too.&nbsp;&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>However, as expected, my sensitive skin was slightly red on the nose and chin ( due to extractions ) as well as on the right cheek, where the slight pigmentation spot is. The stinging sensation when the Vitamin C was being administered earlier, has indeed caused my right cheek to sting and turned very red. There was also a subtle taut sensation which left some light scaly patches on forehead and left jaw.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>After incorporating hydrating products in my routine as well as masking twice a day, the red and scaly patches were gone after 3 days but the dewy glow remained. As I always have some redness after facials, this reaction was expected, however, the scaly patches were a surprise and kept me worried for awhile. Thankfully, they healed within days.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Unfortunately, the scaly patches on the forehead returned after a week - very red, very warm, itchy and scaly. It was triggered 3 times in a month, from the IDS facial to&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/c-plus-1">IDS Vitamin C+</a>&nbsp;application and after exercise. Dr. Michelle Wong has confirmed it to be dermatitis.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Our skin reacts in different ways so its unfortunate that mine turned out badly. Neoderm was prescribed which I applied for 3 days but it was extremely drying and caused even more flakiness, however, it helped in reducing the redness. Following up with&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/recovery-serum">IDS Recovery Serum</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/ultra-moisturizer-1">IDS Ultra Moisturizer</a>&nbsp;did not help in soothing the scaly and flakiness caused by Neoderm but it did provide relief to my inflammed forehead.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>I stopped using Neoderm once the redness was gone and continued using IDS Recovery Serum and Ultra Moisturizer to soothe and moisturise my forehead. The symptoms disappeared after 5 days but seemed to be triggered each time when there's exposure to sun, so I am still monitoring the situation. I will update once I understand more about my condition.&nbsp;</div>

<p>Its been more than a month since I last visited IDS for a skin consultation and I am back again to experience my first facial treatment with them. How exciting! As my last facial with my regular facial salon was almost 3 months ago, I am definitely looking forward to having my first facial treatment with IDS Aesthetics for a glowy me!</p>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Indeed, my skin needs some maintenance as Iit was so dehydrated and looking tired. It been sometime since I last went for a facial. After the last consultation with Dr. Michelle, She straight away recommended me to do the Highly Raved Facial Treatment at IDS Aesthetics, Dew Mist Mi as exactly what my skin is needed.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Well, lets not talks much but show you and share with you what it is all about ~</p>

<p>The Facial is so extremely hydrating that not only just moisturize&nbsp;my skin but also leave my skin smooth and glowing after a single session. The Oxy infusion&nbsp;deliver a stream of high pressurized oxygen to the skin&rsquo;s surface content with IDS Dew Mist Solution.&nbsp;The skin is further hydrated and lifted with the infusion of Dew Mist Moisturizer and Rejuvenating Lift with a soothing low temperature Ion hand piece.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If you watch my video, the Dew Mist Mask is used&nbsp;not only seal the vitamins and ingredients in the skin but to give it an additional protection against HEV light and pollution and lastly ends with LED light mask for enhanced results.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Benefits<br /></strong>Brightens skin<br />Improve skin clarity<br />Leaves the skin supple and hydrated<br />Increase the smoothness feel&nbsp;<br />Increase the moisture on the skin<br />Immediate reduction of fine lines</div>

<div class="separator"><strong>Yuhui's Thought:&nbsp;</strong> Before everything come along, the Therapist did a skin scrubber for me which&nbsp;helps to loosen and remove oil, dirt and cellular debris from my pores and the top layer of my skin. By doing&nbsp;so, it will achieve a noticeably radiant, healthy glow also it will helps to absorb&nbsp;better. During the whole treatment process, It is really comfy that I dozed off a few time. I was really tired and this treatment gives me a boost. My skin is so hydrated and still looking glowing even I was out the whole day. I will said is a&nbsp;60mins well spent and&nbsp;this treatment is highly recommended.&nbsp;</div>

[ Yuhui ] Highly Raved Facial Treatment at IDS Aesthetics - Dew Mist Mi

<p>Janiqueel visits the IDS Aesthetics for a one-hour of Aesthetics Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment and walks out with a new GLOW</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/IDS%20Cover.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>&ldquo;If a woman is confident, she believes in herself and is really happy from the inside, you&rsquo;ll see that glow.&rdquo;&nbsp;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>PIA WURTZBACH</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Easy, Fast, Convenient, and effective &ndash; Hydro-Therapeutics (HTT) at IDS. A facial with a difference that you&rsquo;ll see and feel deep-down. &ldquo;Glow&rdquo; is the word for it.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s what the procedure includes:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Double cleansing</li>
<li>MDX (microdermabrasion) / HydroD (water dermabrasion that includes the use of multi-minerals solution)</li>
<li>Ultrasonic cleansing</li>
<li>Extractions</li>
<li>Ultrasonic penetration of vitamin C</li>
<li>Mask &ndash; whitening, soothing or anti-acne</li>
<li>Moisturizer</li>
<li>Sunscreen</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/IDS%20Treatment%20room.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s how it works:</p>
<ul>
<li>The first cleansing is a&nbsp;<strong>deep-penetrating scrub</strong>which sounds drastic, but under the skilled hands of the IDS beautician, it&rsquo;s a gentle rub and massage that opens your pores to the benefits to follow. Then comes the hydra-facial water jet &ndash; a softly pulsating jet of water that delves into those freshly-opened pores. Using a multi-mineral solution the&nbsp;<strong>pores are refreshed and rejuvenated</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Gently lifting dead skin cells</strong>, the Ultrasonic device uses minerals again to replace the dead cells with vibrant new ones.</li>
<li>If you need it &ndash; I didn&rsquo;t &ndash; the specialist will concentrate on the problem&nbsp;<strong>areas of acne </strong>and <strong>other built-up impurities</strong>. It&rsquo;s like pruning plants before watering and feeding.</li>
<li>With pores wide open and receptive, the next ultrasonic part of the routine uses&nbsp;<strong>vitamin C to feed and nourish the pores </strong>that have been opened by the former procedures. This is where health meets cleanliness.</li>
<li>Once the soothing mask (different masks for different skin conditions are on offer) was applied, I could <strong>relax</strong>&nbsp;even further and reflect on what had been happening to my face. I didn&rsquo;t sleep but next time&hellip;</li>
<li>With the application of IDS moisturizer and sunscreen, my treatment was finished.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I walked out of the IDS Aesthetics in the International Building feeling &ndash; GLOWING! Easily accomplished over a lunch-break or whenever you have an hour to spare for yourself, the IDS HTT session could easily become a part of my monthly &lsquo;me-time&rsquo; routine.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As I walked out into the bright sunshine of the mid-afternoon tropics, I was happy I had applied one of my purchases from the plethora of products on display at the Orchard Road outlet &ndash;&nbsp; S3 Tinted Sunscreen &ndash; SPF 50. For me, what a skincare product does NOT contain is often as important as its ingredients. No parabens. Fragrance-free. Opaque White Lotion-free. I especially appreciate the fragrance-free stipulation.</p>

[ Janiqueel ] I Got the GLOW at IDS Aesthetics

<p>It was the intense hydration my skin had been longing for</p>

<p>IDS Aesthetics&rsquo; Cryo Therapeutics Treatment not only imparts a glow but also soothes your skin at the same time</p>

45 Minutes Is All You Need For Instantly Brighter-Looking Skin

<p>To me, turning 40 is a big deal.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Everyone tells me it&rsquo;s downhill from here. Your weight goes up, your skin sags, and your metabolism will be non-existent. Cellulite will pile and your fine lines will increase. So until I come to 50, which is a&nbsp;<em>bigger</em>&nbsp;deal, I&rsquo;ll do everything and anything to de-auntify myself.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I recently tried Pep.Blue Deep Treatment at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="IDS Aesthetics (opens in a new tab)">IDS Aesthetics</a>&nbsp;because I really need to see my face lift and my collagen stimulated. A while back I thoroughly enjoyed (and still am enjoying!) trying the IDS Skincare range recommended to me by Dr Michelle Wong from IDS and I couldn&rsquo;t be happier to be back at her clinic again to let her know that the RC and IM really worked for my dry, constantly-masked skin and to hear her recommendation for a facial treatment I should try.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Elizabeth%202nd%201.jpg" alt="Here I am, back at Dr Michelle Wong&rsquo;s office at Innovative Dermatological Solutions (IDS) telling her that I need help with some fine lines below my eyes." width="351" height="468" /><br />Here I am, back at Dr Michelle Wong&rsquo;s office at Innovative Dermatological Solutions (IDS) telling her that I need help with some fine lines below my eyes.</p>

<p>And so&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/pepblu-deep" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="a Pep. Blue Deep Treatment (opens in a new tab)">a Pep.Blue Deep Treatment</a>&nbsp;was what Dr Michelle recommended &ndash; and in a jiffy I was shown to a calm, quiet and nice-smelling treatment room to await my therapist.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Elizabeth%202nd%202.jpg" alt="Getting ready for deep cleansing and treatment" width="351" height="468" /><br />Getting ready for deep cleansing and treatment</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Her nimble hands gave me a good deep cleanse before she applied IDS&rsquo; proprietary Pep.Blu Serum and then starting me on a micro-current-like deep massage of the serum in my face, which I later learned is called &lsquo;Non Invasive DEEP Electropration Technology&rsquo;.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>What it really means is that there&rsquo;s intense prickling for a while, somewhat like a lot of needles just vibrating through to your skin, delivering the serum deep into where they should go.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Elizabeth%202nd%203.jpg" alt="Unlike traditional permeation machines, this one from IDS creates channel openings in the skin to allow permeation of solution to be absorbed." /><br />Unlike traditional permeation machines, this one from IDS creates channel openings in the skin to allow permeation of solution to be absorbed.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>For sure, it&rsquo;s not the typical relax-and-close your-eyes kind of facial but hey, the results made me want to bear with the microcurrents running from that machine:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="wp-block-image" style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Elizabeth%202nd%204.jpg" alt="What a difference half a treatment makes: my right is more lifted and looking less dull than the left side!" />What a difference half a treatment makes: my right is more lifted and looking less dull than the left side!</div>
<div class="wp-block-image">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="wp-block-image">&nbsp;</div>
<div class="wp-block-image">After the electropration, I did have a close-your-eyes-and-sleep kind of facial when the Pep.Blue mask was applied under LED light. Caught 40 winks, which was not too bad. I thought the light would affect me but no, I was totally relaxed.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>I would definitely recommend this treatment if you have dull skin, need a lift for sagging areas and desperately want some help with fine lines. I walked out feeling fresh and ready to conquer the world &ndash; till my next treatment, at least!</p>

<p>To me, turning 40 is a big deal. Everyone tells me it&rsquo;s downhill from here. Your weight goes up, your skin sags, and your metabolism will be non-existent. Cellulite will pile and your fine lines will increase. So until I come to 50, which is a&nbsp;<em>bigger</em>&nbsp;deal, I&rsquo;ll do everything and anything to de-auntify myself.</p>

[ Elizabeth ] Stepping into the Big 4 (Part II) with IDS (ft. IDS Aesthetics)

<p>Earlier in January this year, I was really glad to be able to join IDS on a 4-months #IDSTransformMe Journey in an attempt to achieve a healthier, clearer looking skin. And I have to say, after 1.5 months of using the range of&nbsp;<a href="https://molly-mia.blogspot.com/2021/01/starting-my-idstransformme-journey-with.html">IDS skincare products recommended to me</a>&nbsp;by Dr. Ben Yim, my skin condition has&nbsp;<strong><em>really</em></strong>&nbsp;improved greatly; and I'm very less plagued by the pesky maskne (mask-induced acne) now, and I'm finally starting to win my lifelong battle with my number 1 enemy, the clogged pores.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you,&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/pore-formula">Pore Formula</a>. Thank you,&nbsp;<a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/blemish-clear">Blemish Clear</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And now, for the 2nd phase of my #IDSTransformMe journey, I was given a chance to enjoy a session of their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/services/hydrotherapeutics-treatment-htt">Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment</a>&nbsp;(HTT) back at their IDS Aesthetics branch at International Building.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Their monogram colour scheme and a very clean and chic layout of the place really gave me the feeling that I'm placed in good (professional) hands. HAHA!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mia%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After a quick follow-up review with Dr. Yim, I was whisked away to one of these treatment room for the HTT facial.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mia%202nd%202.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The HTT (or simply called&nbsp;<em>Hydro Deep Cleansing</em>) is a deep-cleansing facial treatment that everyone can benefit from. Created by professionals and designed for all skin types, this award-winning treatment works hard through various levels of deep cleansing to remove accumulated dirt, product build-up and clogged sebum that no regular cleanser can.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mia%202nd%203.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This facial treatment not only helps to unclog pores, but also aids with cellular regeneration and increase our collagen production, hence reducing our fine lines and wrinkles as well.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The facial treatment started off with the usual double-cleansing, followed by water dermabrasion (or microdermabrasion) to remove our dead skin cells. Then, it was followed by an ultrasonic cleansing to clean out our pores, before the aesthetician carry out the extractions. As I'm super used to getting painful extractions during facial, the aesthetician was considered rather light-handed for my pain tolerance, and I even drifted off into sleep during the procedure. HAHA!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After the extraction, ultrasonic penetration of Vitamin C was applied to my face, before an anti-acne mask was given.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mia%202nd%204.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At this point, I was getting really comfy on the treatment bed (and sleepy as well) and was hoping to catch a quick nap during the masking time. But the anti-acne mask was a minty one, and extremely cold (their masks are all stored in the fridge), so much so that it jolted me awake and drove away all the sleepiness in me. HEH!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mia%202nd%205.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And then, it was some moisturiser and sunscreen and I'm good to go! My skin definitely felt smoother to the touch, and visibly brighter as well (no filter here, but obviously was under very bright white lights though).</p>

[ Mia Foo ] My #IDSTransformMe Journey: HTT Facial at IDS Aesthetics

<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s been almost two months now since I&rsquo;ve been using IDS Skincare products, and I admit that I do see a difference in my skin, especially when it comes to its brightness and reduced dullness. I was looking for a selfie on my phone, but this was the only one I could find (shared this with a friend out of boredom, haha!). You can read about how I kickstarted my IDS Skincare journey&nbsp;<a href="https://mikka-wee.com/2021/01/30/ids-skincare-2021-part-1/">here</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202ns%202.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Out of all the IDS Skincare products, I must say, my favorite has to be the&nbsp;<strong>S2 Non-tinted Sunscreen SPF50+ PA+++</strong>&nbsp;. I&rsquo;ve had my fair share of sunscreen that either has a white cast or leaves a greasy feel (especially under make-up). But this one from IDS Skincare absorbs super fast, is not greasy&nbsp;<em>at all</em>, and leaves your face matte. I don&rsquo;t think I can ever use a different sunscreen brand again!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Work has been busier than usual, so I scheduled my IDS Skincare Laser Treatment early last March. It&rsquo;s been a while since I had a facial, so I was really excited. After a consultation, Dr. Ian recommended the&nbsp;<strong>Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment</strong>, or HTT for short, which helps reverse signs of sun damage on the skin. His recommendation came from my sunspots since my face is frequently exposed to sunlight (I&rsquo;ve started wearing a hat, too!). Apart from that, I&rsquo;ve had a few breakouts on my cheeks due to stress.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment also leaves the skin bright and clean as it targets dead skin cells, clogged pores, and blackheads. This award-winning 60-minute facial treatment also reverses signs of ageing by prompting cellular regeneration, increasing collagen, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202nd%203.jpg" alt="IDS has always maintained a gold standard with their cleanliness and safety measures." width="1000" height="750" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">IDS has always maintained a gold standard with their cleanliness and safety measures.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202nd%204.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After double cleansing my face to ensure my skin was impurity-free, the beautician, Linn, checked my skin to see where to focus on. I&rsquo;ve always complained about the left side of my face being most prone to hormonal breakouts, and I had a juicy pimple sprouting. She told me that she would be focusing on my blackheads and extracting my clogged pores.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202nd%205.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After cleansing, it was time to exfoliate! I did a microdermabrasion that used a device with a vacuum suction to exfoliate my face and remove the dead skin cells. Really appreciated how gentle Linn was with the entire process! Apart from exfoliating, pores are also loosened up and softened for easy extraction of whiteheads and blackheads. Extraction is my least favorite part of any facial, so this really helped me relax. An ultrasonic cleanser that penetrates Vitamin C was then used afterwards to increase skin brightness further remove any dead skin cells.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202nd%207.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next was the extraction! Again, not my favorite part of any facial, but needed to ensure my face is clean and rid of blackheads, whiteheads, and clogged pores.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202nd%208.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After the entire process, I was given a soothing mask to calm my face down. Felt really good and reassuring knowing that my face was in a better, cleaner state from when I entered the clinic!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202nd%209.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Moisturizer and Sunscreen were applied to my face after masking for 15 minutes. Felt so refreshed and rejuvenated!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Mikka%202nd%2010.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My face after the whole treatment! Happy to say that my face was glowing! A bit of redness from the extractions lingered, but my acne flattened out as well as my other trouble areas and pimple patches. Blackheads on my nose were extracted, and my face just felt really clean afterwards. I highly recommend it.</p>

[ Mikka ] Trying the Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) at IDS Aesthetics to unclog my pores

<p>Hey people!</p>
<p><br />My long awaited facial by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsaesthetics.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>IDS Aesthetics</strong></a>&nbsp;is here, and I was totally counting down to my appointment.</p>
<p><br />In the midst of my crazy schedule in February, I started breaking out at my jawline. It could be due to stress or the late nights I was pulling for my programme. Or perhaps I was getting maskne because I was wearing a mask more often and for longer hours.</p>
<p><br />Whatever the case, it frustrated the hell out of me. The last thing I would want to care about is my skin not looking its best during a busy period of my life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Tracy%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You may have read my blog post in January where I shared about embarking on a skincare journey with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.idsclinic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>I</strong></a><a href="https://www.idsclinic.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>nnovative Dermatological Solutions (IDS)</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>and&nbsp;<a href="https://gilmangirl.livejournal.com/670019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">using the skincare set that the clinic has customised for me</a>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the following month, I went for a&nbsp;<strong>Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT)</strong>&nbsp;<strong>facial</strong>&nbsp;at IDS Aesthetics, which helped to improve my skin condition tremendously. Prior to the facial, I had a consultation with Dr Benjamin Yim, who examined my skin and listened to my woes about my recent jawline breakout. He then recommended me to go for a HTT as it was suitable for people with clogged pores, blackheads and whiteheads.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /></p>
<p><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Tracy%202nd%202.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The HTT is a 60-minute facial which focuses on deep cleansing to remove facial impurities, unclog pores and balance sebum production. It also helps to regenerate skin cells, increase collagen production and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.</p>
<p><br />Unlike the regular facials that I have been through, I did not have to change into a robe. Instead, I was given a robe to wear over my clothes just in case I feel cold during the treatment. I felt like I was in a spa!&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /></p>
<p><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Tracy%202nd%203.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The session began with double cleansing to make sure that my skin was free from impurities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thereafter, a light was shone on my face so that the beautician could check on my skin. She noticed the dark marks on my jawline from my breakout, and told me that there were still blackheads deeply embedded within them. Nonetheless, she would do her best to extract them for me so that it could increase the rate of recovery.&nbsp;<br /><br /></p>
<p><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Tracy%202nd%204.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Tracy%202nd%205.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A key stage of the facial is exfoliation, and I started with microdermabrasion.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The device on the left uses a vacuum suction to exfoliate my dead skin cells. It also loosens the pores to facilitate easy retrieval of the whiteheads and blackheads during extraction.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>An ultrasonic cleanser was then used to scrub my skin and exfoliate my dead skin cells further. I know it looked like I had a blade against my face, but trust me, it was not painful at all. In fact, it was very comfortable and I relished in the idea of my facial impurities being scraped away.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Tracy%202nd%206.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Tracy%202nd%207.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After exfoliation, the beautician proceeded with extraction.</p>
<p><br />As expected, she spent most of her time meticulously extracting the whiteheads from my nose, before working on my jawline breakouts. I was told that once the blackheads were extracted successfully, the dark marks would heal fast too. Oh boy, I can't wait for them to be gone!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Vitamin C essence was applied all over my face post-extraction, and the ultrasonic cleanser was then used at a different setting to facilitate the penetration of the essence into my skin. We closed the facial with a soothing cold mask to reduce any redness, close my pores and hydrate my skin. Ahhh.. it was so relaxing that the 15 minutes seemed to go by too quickly.&nbsp;<br /><br /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Tracy%202nd%208.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Facial ended right at the 1-hour mark and my skin was glowing! The dark marks at my jawline seemed to have flattened as well. Looking forward to the day that they would disappear from my face for good!&nbsp;</p>

[ Tracy ] My IDS Journey: Clogged Pores be gone with Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) at IDS Aesthetics

<p>It has been a month since I started on the skincare products by IDS Skincare (<a href="http://www.ms-skinnyfat.com/2021/01/restarting-my-skincare-regime-at-ids.html">read Part 1 of my review here</a>) I've been told by Dr Michelle Wong that I&rsquo;m likely to experience some break outs as the products help to purge the underlying blackheads and impurities. Well even though that was expected, I was quite concerned with the additional spots, which unfortunately I picked at. SOBS.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Ms%20Skinnyfat%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Apart from that, the dry skin condition has eased with the Recovery Serum and Moisture Boost combination! No more annoying flaky spots!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When I headed back for my review, Dr Michelle Wong assured that my skin was fine and that the Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) ($198+) would help with clearing my skin further. This treatment works through various levels of deep cleansing to remove accumulated dirt, product build-up and clogged sebum that no regular cleanser can. It also helps with lines and wrinkles too!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Ms%20Skinnyfat%202nd%202.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 60 minute facial is suitable for all skin types and leaves you with clearer and brighter skin. Check this out if you don't believe.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Ms%20Skinnyfat%202nd%203.jpg" alt="Before" />Before</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The facial started with double cleansing followed by HydroD, a water dermabrasion which uses a multi minerals solution to remove surface impurities. Though dermabrasion may sound invasion, but you'd only feel a light suction on your skin. A deeper cleansing using ultrasound was next and you'd experience some light tingling zapping sensation (not painful at all). Then the usual extractions. I was told that my skin condition was pretty ok so that provided some assurance to my concerns.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After the cleansing, Vitamin C is applied and with the help of the ultrasound device, you could expect better penetration of the serum. Lastly, a whitening mask was prescribed based on my skin condition.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The HTT treatment was very soothing and i was surprised at how bright my skin was immediately after. Will certainly do this facial again.&nbsp;</p>

[ Ms Skinnyfat ] Restarting my skincare regime - IDS Skincare Part 2

<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://ids-aesthetics.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Sally%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Growing up we didn&rsquo;t have much money and so, the idea of having facials always seemed like a luxury to me. I only went for my first facial in university, having saved up to share a package with my boyfriend and I remember loving the whole therapeutic experience. Now, facials are a staple in my life and I wouldn&rsquo;t go more than a few months without heading for a facial to clear up my clogged pores.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thankfully throughout my adolescence my skin was, though nowhere translucent, relatively clear, with the usual, occasional bouts of hormonal acne. I am pretty low maintenance so I guess I had normalised my hypersensitive skin, enlarged pores and lurking pimples but as I explore more about skincare, I start to realise I actually don&rsquo;t need to live with them!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>After my first visit to IDS Clinic, I brought home a whole series of their champion products for sensitive skin to pamper my face. I really love the lightness of the products, so that my skin doesn&rsquo;t breakout but yet still protecting my face&rsquo;s natural moisture barrier. So for my second visit, I did a quick review with Dr Ian at IDS Clinic to talk about the effectiveness of the different products. He also recommended an additional Vitamin C serum (which I have been wanting to try based on great reviews from my friends) and a spot corrector for those pesky zits.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>My favourite products from the first range I tried was the delicate cleanser and the recovery serum! I find that clear, viscous liquids work best for my skin, moisturising but not clogging&nbsp;but now I have a new favourite product &ndash; the Vitamin C Serum! It works to brighten my skin instantaneously and my face was super clear this entire month since adding it to my skincare routine. I&rsquo;m definitely gonna get a few refills for my upcoming trip in March.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Additionally, after my chat with Dr Ian, I headed to IDS Aesthetics for a luxurious cryo facial! My skin turns blotchy red and burns easily, and so, treating my sensitive skin is quite tricky and finding the right products to fit me takes some time. Hence, this facial is perfect for cell repair, where vital ingredients like vitamins and brighteners are delivered directly into the skin through iontophoresis, followed by a relaxing cryotherapy technology application (CryoProbe), to instantly soothe, restore and energize my sensi skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I love that their facials are capped at an efficient 50 mins, because my schedule is super hectic and some facials can really drag on (cos&rsquo; they just leave you to sleep for 30 mins). Yet, I can really feel an immediate difference in my skin after the facial!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the last part of my IDS journey, I will be getting a top up for my skincare solutions and also undergoing a laser treatment at IDS Clinic, a perfect pick-me-up a few days before my flight to Dubai. Can&rsquo;t wait to update you guys about it!</p>

<p>Growing up we didn&rsquo;t have much money and so, the idea of having facials always seemed like a luxury to me. I only went for my first facial in university, having saved up to share a package with my boyfriend and I remember loving the whole therapeutic experience. Now, facials are a staple in my life and I wouldn&rsquo;t go more than a few months without heading for a facial to clear up my clogged pores...</p>

[ Sally ] Review: My IDS Journey – Second Consultation and Cryo Facial with IDS Aesthetics

<p>I have always enjoyed my experiences at IDS Aesthetics, and was eager to try its new Pep.Blu DEEP Treatment to perk up my tired skin.</p>

Beauty test drive: Pep.Blu DEEP Treatment at IDS Aesthetics

<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I don&rsquo;t think I&rsquo;ve experience anything like this before &ndash; a freezing cold facial which literally caused my skin to tighten and my pores contract in an instant. It&rsquo;s also that facial you need in the upcoming warm months to cool and soothe your skin. And the best part is that this Cryo Therapeutics treatment at IDS Aesthetics only takes 60 minutes. It&rsquo;s quick and super effective.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Cryo Therapeutic Treatment</strong></p>
<p>In preparation for my upcoming wedding, IDS Aesthetics recommended this facial treatment for me to instantly soothe, restore and energise my skin. It&rsquo;s suitable for those with dull and sensitive skin. This treatment will soothe any skin irritation, improve skin texture and promote cellular repair.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Double Cleansing</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%202.jpg" alt="" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The 60-minute facial starts off with a double-cleansing step which cleanses the skin thoroughly before adding all the nourishing skin serums to the skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%203.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Microdermabrasion</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%204.jpg" alt="" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Microdermabrasion will exfoliate the skin and at the same time, suction of the dead skin cells and any skin impurities immediately.</p>
<p>I like that they pair microdermabrasion with extraction to get rid of any skin debris and unclog the pores.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%205.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Serum Infusions with CryoProbe</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%206.jpg" alt="" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now that my skin is deeply cleansed, the therapists massaged a serum cocktail of vitamins and skin brighteners into my skin using the CryoProbe. The use of this machine will help increase the penetration of the serums into the skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This form of cryotherapy technology employs an extremely low temperature of up to -15 degree celcius to cool the skin. It not only reduces the redness in the skin after extraction but it also tones and firms the skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At this point, I could only describe this process using one word &ndash; &lsquo;shiok&rsquo;. I always enjoy such pain-free treatments which would enhance the condition of my skin and leave me feeling like a princess.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Sheet Mask</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%207.jpg" alt="" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To lock in all the goodness into my skin, the therapist added a hydrating sheet mask to my skin. After applying the mask, I thought she would ask me to rest with the mask on for 15 minutes. But, no, I did not expect that she would use the CryoProbe to go over the sheet mask. I mean, why not? The coldness from the probe will only enhances the absorption of the serum from the mask into my skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%208.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Initially, the whole process felt really comfortable. As minutes passed, my skin started to feel freezing cold. Thankfully, before it gets to uncomfortable, the treatment stops and the therapist gently pull the sheet mask off.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%209.jpg" alt="" /><strong>I mean&hellip; check that out.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My once-enlarged pores were shut tight after the treatment and check out how bright and radiant my skin looks! I even noticed that my dark eye circles have lightened!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I personally feel that this zero-downtime facial is best done a couple of days before your big day. Makeup will glide on smoothly on such skin and you&rsquo;ll be glowing from within.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Deenise%202nd%2010.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s definitely one of the most enjoyable facials I&rsquo;ve tried. The entire process was fast and effective.</p>

[ Deenise ] I’ve tried the ‘coldest’ facial at IDS Aesthetics

<p>Visited IDS Orchard earlier this week for my 1st Facial treatment. After all the safety check-in procedure, I was greeted by their friendly Consultant who recommended Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT), noting that my skin was looking dull (probably after several late night this festive season).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Cherlynn%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The treatment room was a nice serene white theme, spotlessly cleaned for hygiene and a comfortable experience. Therapist Jessmine was very soft spoken and at the same time very friendly and approachable in answering my questions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The procedure for the facial:</p>
<ul>
<li>Double Cleansing</li>
<li>HydroD (water dermabrasion including use of multi minerals solution)</li>
<li>Serum infusions (vitamins &amp; brighteners)</li>
<li>CryoProbe</li>
<li>Seaweed Mask&nbsp;</li>
<li>Moisturizer</li>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As IDS skincare products are used in the facial, I could immediately recognize the fruity scent of the Refreshing Cleanser. Following that, the gentle Facial Scrub was applied to remove surface impurities.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Cherlynn%202nd%204.jpg" alt="First step: Refreshing Cleanser" />First step: Refreshing Cleanser</p>

It was comfortable and I like the feeling that excess dirt is sucked out from my skin!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next was my ultimate fear - extraction. Jessmine was so quick and gentle, it was over in a jiffy. I was not as uncomfortable as I thought it would be.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Cherlynn%202nd%207.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because my skin is sensitive and turn red occasionally, a seaweed mask was used instead of the usual sheet mask. I like the scent of seaweed that immediately felt soothing and comfortable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I must say this facial session had been the most comfortable one I have ever experienced.&nbsp;I also like that the duration is just nice for a lunch time quick fix!</p>

[ Cherlynn ] 2nd Visit: Facial with IDS Aesthetics

<p>If you had read regarding my first experience at IDS Skincare <a href="http://www.crazyforcosmetics.com/2020/12/my-skincare-journey-with-ids-clinic-my.html">here</a>, you would have known the various products that I received from them and my first impressions on them. I have been diligently using their products and I genuinely feel that they are working well for my skin slowly but steadily. The progress is gradual and not swift which is quite convincing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>On my second visit to IDS Skincare, I was asked to assigned to consult Dr.Ben as Dr.Michelle was away from clinic, who checked on my skin again to see the progress and he suggested the Cryo therapeutics treatment which will help hydrate my skin and will reduce the occurrence of acne. After the consultation, I was led to the treatment room and given a cupboard to store my belongings.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Harine%202nd%201.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I was assigned to one therapist who was extremely friendly and she was very careful in each and every step.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Harine%202nd%203.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><strong>Scrubbing &amp; Black Heads Removal&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>My therapist did a great job with respect to removal of the black and white heads.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Cryo Therapeutics Treatment Experience :</strong></p>
<p>The facial&nbsp;process was quite simple but effective. A serum was applied and a radio frequency instrument was used to seal the serum into the various layers of the skin. It was so cooling and my skin felt an instant relief. Another hydrating sheet mask was used and the same process was repeated and voila the facial was over.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://jyx-shop.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/photos/Harine%202nd%207.jpg" alt="Cryo Therapeutics Treatment with Sheet Mask" />Cryo Therapeutics Treatment with Sheet Mask</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My face felt brighter and softer after the facial and it still does feel quite nice. I have not got any breakouts post the facial&nbsp;unlike in some facials where I have got tiny bumps after a few days. I am diligently following their skincare regimen as well and I can see reduction in my acne scars and I am looking forward to my next session which will be next month.</p>

<p>Dr Brendan Khong (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/brendannnnk/?hl=en">@brendannnnk</a>) shares his 10-step skincare regime and more. &nbsp;</p>
<p>You may have heard of Dr Brendan Khong earlier this year who attracted lots of media hype with his incredibly glass-like skin, so much so that New York City based beauty website @<a href="https://intothegloss.com/2019/02/brendan-khong-beauty-routine/">IntoTheGloss</a> and later <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6749347/Meet-emergency-room-doctor-dewy-glowing-complexion-envy-thousands.html">Daily Mail Australia</a> ran interviews of his beauty regime. Originally from Singapore but currently living and working in Bristol, United Kingdom, Dr Khong shares what it takes to achieve skin like his.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/photos/IMG_6231.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How did it all begin? </strong></p>
<p>Not going to lie, I&rsquo;ve been blessed with relatively good skin all my life. But genetics doesn&rsquo;t dictate how your skin ages. I know that we can&rsquo;t change our genetics but we can control the extrinsic factors, such as the sun, pollution, smoking, skincare choices and nutrition. Consistency is really the key to everything that you do. That said, do I have lazy days? 100%! &nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>How did you learn about IDS? </strong></p>
<p>Every day we are bombarded with social ads, clever marketing gimmicks and beautifully retouched images. It was in 2015 when I discovered IDS through a friend. While researching on the services that IDS offers, I came across many highly-raved skincare product reviews and aesthetic treatments which seemed to have worked for many. My interest was piqued.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although I felt like there was a lot of hype surrounding IDS, I decided to find out for myself. I tried making an appointment weeks in advance for a consultation to see how I could take my skin to the next level.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What was your experience at IDS Clinic like? </strong></p>
<p>The first thing that I noticed when I stepped into IDS Clinic was how polite and organised everything was. As a savvy customer who has been to many different clinics, this really set IDS Clinic apart. The consultation with Dr YX Lum was detailed, thorough and she took into account my skin conditions at the time. What I like about Dr Lum is that she is honest, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. After the consultation, I was so convinced that I felt the urge to buy EVERYTHING but Dr Lum advised that I should probably try a few products first before committing fully.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What do you look for in skincare products? </strong></p>
<p>As a medical doctor, I am naturally most interested in the ingredients that go into my skincare. Do I believe that natural is better? No. Are chemicals bad for the skin? No. H2O is a chemical. My pet peeve are the scare mongering natural-is-better brands. Being a skincare aficionado, I have tried and gone through many bottles, jars and tubes of skincare products. I do not believe in products that claim to fix it all with just one application. But when I find a skincare range that works, I would stick to it. IDS Skincare is one - C-Plus (C+) is one of my &lsquo;holy grail&rsquo; products.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When I first started with IDS Clinic, I had generally good skin but I wanted to future-proof my skin. I want my skin to glow so much so that you can see your future in it! I believe that my IDS regime has helped get me there.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What is your IDS regime like? </strong></p>
<p>In the morning, I cleanse with 1) <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/delicate-cleanser">Delicate Cleanser (C2)</a> which is low foaming and doesn&rsquo;t strip the skin of essential moisture. Surface dryness is a huge problem and using the wrong cleanser can exacerbate the problem. Next comes 2) <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/c-plus-1">C-Plus (C+)</a>, which is one of my favourite serums of all time. I go through at least 3 bottles a year! This little wonder supports collagen production, lightens any post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and provides the skin with essential nutrition to support the deeper layers. The water-like texture of this serum also allows for layering. I also love that this vitamin C serum doesn&rsquo;t cause any irritation nor stings my skin. Depending on the time of year, I sometimes use 3) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/pore-formula">Pore Formula (PF)</a> which keeps my pores taut and prevents an oil slick from occurring. The 4)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/rejuvenating-complex-1">Rejuvenating Complex (RC)</a> which I use from my hairline to my d&eacute;colletage, is an anti-aging wonder that supports the collagen layers and relaxes any fine lines and wrinkles.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Living in a pollution-ridden city like London, protecting the skin against pollution is very important and that&rsquo;s why I use 5) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/dermashield-serum-1">DermaShield Serum (DS)</a>. Depending on the season, 6) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/oil-free-moisturizer-2">Oil-free moisturiser (OM)</a> or <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/intensive-moisturizer">Intensive Moisturiser (IM)</a> is next, followed by 7) <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/eye-rescue-1">Eye Rescue (ER)</a>. A generous coating of 8) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/non-tinted-sunscreen-spf50-pa">Non-Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ (S2)</a> and 9) <a href="https://jyx.shop/ids-skincare/tinted-sunscreen-spf50-pa">Tinted Sunscreen SPF50 PA+++ (S1)</a> seals everything in. Depending on where I&rsquo;m going that day, I sometimes use 10) <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/diamond-dust-perfector-1">Diamond-Dust Perfector (DD)</a>, which has diamond powder to help even out my complexion. It is also important to re-apply sunscreen throughout the day &ndash; I bring S1 everywhere I go! I know it sounds like a lot, but layering your products gives that added layer of protection to the skin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>My evening skincare routine starts with <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/cleansing-milk">Cleansing Milk (C3)</a>, and then everything as above minus the sunscreens and DD. I sometimes replace C+ with <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/a-plus">A-Plus (A+)</a> as the Retinaldehyde penetrates deeper into the dermal layer to stimulate the fibroblast cells and it really helps to refine the skin. A couple of times a week, I will also use <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/probiotic-mask">Probiotic Mask (PM)</a> mixed with <a href="https://www.jyx.shop/ids-skincare/derm-probiotic">DermProbiotic</a> to prevent unwanted breakouts, especially around the jawline, where I shave.</p>

<p><strong>Sounds like a lot indeed! How long is your skincare regime? </strong></p>
<p>You&rsquo;d probably think that it&rsquo;d take a long time for me to apply all my products. However, I am happy to report that it takes less than 8 minutes to get everything onto my face and neck!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What facial treatments have you tried? </strong></p>
<p>IDS Aesthetics Hydro-Therapeutics Treatment (HTT) or Cryo Therapeutics Treatment (CTT) - both of which include extractions &ndash; my favourite part in a facial. Extractions are vital in keeping your pores clean. If clogged pores are not clean, they cannot be minimised. I strongly believe that facial treatments have to go hand in hand with your daily skincare regime in order to optimise your skin condition.</p>

<p><strong>Last but not the least &hellip; </strong></p>
<p>Ever since embarking on my journey with IDS, family, friends, and even strangers have all commented on my skin. I&rsquo;ve also converted many to become fans of IDS. My mum is now a regular at IDS and she loves the products too!</p>
