Lose Your Double Chin with CoolSculpting In Just 1 Session!

I am following up on my previous Double Chin CoolSculpting Review on reducing fats under the chin, which seemed to yield amazing results in just 1 session.

I am sure that many of you have stubborn fats that refuse to go away despite having a strict diet and exercise. CoolSculpting is something you may wanna consider as it is using a controlled cooling technology to target and kill only those fat cells, and the procedure is effective in treating those visible fat bulges under the chin and contouring the neck.

In the weeks to follow, the body naturally processes the fat and eliminates the dead cells. Your body will still continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after treatment. This is a perfect time to get rid of any unwanted fats as you may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment, just in time for the coming festive seasons like Christmas, New Year, and the Chinese Lunar New Year. Results are long-term as treated fat cells are gone for good.

Do you know there is a difference between losing weight vs losing fat? Losing weight makes fat cells smaller but does not make fat cells go away. On the other hand, losing fat using the CoolSculpting fat-freezing technology actually reduces the number of fat cells in treated areas by about 20% to 25%. These treated fat cells are gone for good.

The CoolSculpting procedure will not help you lose weight. After the treatment, you may not weigh less, but you will look slimmer and your clothes will fit better and in this case, result is a sharper face!

Loreal Organic Hair Colours, Try INOA With No Ammonia!

It's ammonia-free, it's odourless, it's permanent. Thinking of changing your hair colours, or covering your grey hair? Loreal’s INOA gives you high coverage with up to 100%, whilst still keeping the colour looking bright and luminous!

More people are going into organic hair dye, so I decided to visit Mosche Grand Hyatt to give it a try too. I was recommended INOA, by Loreal Professional, a leading no ammonia permanent hair colour range with Oil Delivery System (ODS2) technology, that uses oil molecules instead of ammonia to open the hair shaft and soak in the dye.

After discussing the colours with my hair stylist, we picked 2 colours – INOA 6.45 Dark Copper Mahogany Blonde, and the INOA 9.13 Very Light Beige Blonde. I am extremely satisfied with the result. Do you like it too?

Fight Skin Cancer with EHA Sun Shield 24Hr SPF 100

EHA Sun Shield 24Hr with SPF 100

Do you know that sunscreens with a higher SPF give you more protection from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which is linked to skin cancer, in addition to premature skin ageing?

Are you one of those who apply your sunscreen at the beginning of the day and forget all about it?

Are you aware that you have to reapply the same amount of sunscreen every two hours, according to Skin Cancer Foundation? People often forget that sunscreen needs to be reapplied at least every two hours, unless you are using a 24-hr sunscreen. Also, always reapply sunscreen immediately after swimming or sweating for maximum protection.

Doctors believe that most skin cancers can be avoided by preventing sun damage. It is of utmost importance that we learn to protect ourselves from harmful UV rays, fighting against skin cancer and of course preventing wrinkles and sunspots. UVA rays are the causes of premature ageing of the skin and responsible for photosensitivity reactions. Hence, it is vital that we apply a sunscreen and application should never be restricted to summer alone.

CoolMini for Double Chin, Does Fat Freezing Really Work?

Zeltiq CoolMini Before and After Photos

As age catches up, my double chin is also getting more obvious although having a double chin doesn’t necessarily mean one is fat. During one of my visits to EHA Clinic, a reputable aesthetic clinic located in Shaw Centre, I raised my concern to Dr Tam who recommended the Zeltiq CoolMini as one of the options to remove double chin without undergoing any surgery.

Zeltiq CoolSculpting Machine

Fat freezing is not new to me as I had previously gone through CoolSculpting treatment for my tummy, a well-accepted procedure for freezing away stubborn fats. Although CoolSculpting has been around for years, the Zeltiq CoolMini applicator was only introduced in Singapore sometime last year.

Zeltiq CoolMini Applicator

The smaller applicator FDA-approved fat-freezing machine, CoolMini is designed to target areas like Double Chin, Armpits and Knee areas by freezing away the stubborn fat and contouring without any surgery or downtime.

I had just gone for my 1-month review recently, and certainly saw some positive results. Although best result is achieved in 3 months, one can see a noticeable improvement in just 1 month. Generally, one session is all you need; you will get results in just 1 or 2 visits.

The popular non-invasive fat reduction process uses crypolipolysis freezing technology that freezes fats faster than other cells, so there is no damage to the surrounding tissues. Zeltiq CoolSculpting has been clinically tested to help reduce fats by up to 20% of the treated area!

So if you have a Double Chin and wanna take years off you to achieve a younger look, I am going to walk you through my CoolSculpting experience with the Zeltiq CoolMini in this post. I will also talk about Diamond Pola Neck Treatment, another option to consider.

Getting Rid of Keloid Scar with Lasers and Steroid Injection

A #Keloid scar is one in which there is an overgrowth of dense fibrous tissue. This develops after the injury has healed, and it usually has a smooth top and pink or purple in colour.

I had a nasty fall last year, and left with an open wound in my knee cap. I failed to stop the bleeding that day and panicked. Alone and totally at a loss, unsure if I should go to a doctor, I recalled having the mobile number of Dr Tam of EHA Clinic, my aesthetic doctor for 5 years now. I quickly snapped couple of photos and What’s App Dr Tam who responded almost instantly, asking me to head to the nearest doctor.

I managed to skip the long queue at the clinic after the nurse saw my knee bleeding profusely. The GP advised me to go to the hospital for stitches, or I could have the wound glued on the spot there. I was too weak to make it to the hospital alone, hence opted for the glue instead.

This post will document the healing stages of my Keloid Scar, and the different methods used to treat it. So if you or any members of your family with a keloid scar formed after a surgery or a bad fall, I hope my experience will come in handy should anyone of you need to remove the keloid and lighten the scar.

Mosche Grand Hyatt Hair Colouring with Okara Scalp Ampoule

Does your hair stylist add on a Scalp Protection Treatment before colouring your hair? Generally, a scalp protector such as ampoule is formulated to protect your hair and scalp during colour treatment, highlighting and bleaching, while enhancing the radiance and intensity of the colour.

During my recent visit to Mosche Grand Hyatt to colour my hair, the Rene Furterer Okara Color-Binding Oil was applied on my scalp and hair. Rich in amino acids, the Anatide complex shields hair to prevent damage and protects against dehydration.

This time, I decided to have tri-colour but without bleaching as it can be very damaging to the hair. I wanted something mild but with visible contrast. I asked my stylist Daniel if that is achievable, and he said it is possible but of course results would not be as prominent as bleaching. I decided to go ahead and give it a try.
