Hair Removal

Braun Silk Epil 5

There is no way anyone is going back to shaving, plucking, and waxing after using Braun's Silk Epil 5. This ergonomic epilator is able to effectively remove hair from the root in an entire area in seconds. The pain is a lot less than waxing and plucking, especially after your first use when the procedure becomes practically painless. It also catches hair four times shorter than a wax. If you've been shaving, this will be your total gamechanger, allowing you to be smooth and hair-free for weeks. No more bumps or irritated skin. What makes this stand out among other other epilators? Its wet and dry function, allowing you to epilate even with soap for a better glide; the fact that it's cordless, allowing you to use it in the shower or bath, which is especially practical for when you use it on your legs or armpits; and Braun’s SensoSmart technology, which features an intelligent sensor to guide your epilation and ensure you only apply the right amount of pressure. Truly lifechanging and a must-have for those who haven't been back to the clinic for lasers. Official Lazada Store

It’s instantly firming, but of course temporarily.

Using the natural benefits of germanium stones and with its ergonomic design, this facial roller helps depuff eye bags and alleviate muscle tension, and works as an ideal product applicator too—all icing on the cake because we're sold enough by the pampering and relaxing feel it gives.

Luminisce Radiance Lift Device

Luminisce Radiance Lift Device

This gadget features four technologies in one wand: Radio Frequency for contouring, LED Therapy for calming and soothing, Electrical Muscle Stimulation for lifting and tightening, and Sonic Vibration for detoxifying. The wand's LED lights can go past the dermis and kill acne-causing bacteria, stimulate collagen production, target spots, and help depuff, as the lights change colors from red to blue to green to amber. Its EMS or Electric Muscle Stimulation function contracts facial muscles though microcurrents. These electrical pulses are akin to a face workout, which tones, smoothens, and lifts the skin. Expect it to work like one too, where effects are seen through regular use. Radiofrequency is a popular technology that’s long been used in high intensities at the derma which yield dramatic and instant results. Of course do not expect this handheld, at-home RF wand to work as fast, but by religiously allotting half an hour every other day for an at-home treatment, you will see improvement in skin sagging and elasticity over time. shop.luminisce.com

TREATMENTS

Ultherapy

Non-invasive

Collagen keeps our skin filled and plump, while elastin keeps it bouncy. Our production of both slows down with age, causing brows to droop, skin to sag, and jawlines to lose definition, among other aging effects. One of the most lauded non-invasive skin lifting and tightening treatments that address these problems effectively is Ultherapy, and it's popular for a reason. It triggers collagen production using micro-focused ultrasound energy with realtime visualization. With this type of ultrasound energy, unlike radio frequencies and surgery, it can visualize deep within the layers of the skin and deliver safe, precise lifting. The procedure, through micro-wounding, triggers the skin to produce collagen and elastin at such specific areas. The results are instant and improve over time. And because results are so significant—it can turn back the clock by at least five years—it may be done just once every 12 to 18 months. As for how it feels, each zap feels like a warm tingling sensation underneath the skin. Those with a high threshold for pain will definitely manage and those who don't can always rely on topical anesthesia. Available at leading dermatologist clinics and at BeautiqueMD, 8th floor MDI Corporate Center 10th Ave corner 39th Street, Taguig.

Xeomin

Botolinum tixin

Facial lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. With repeated movement and over time, especially as you lose collagen and elastin, the lines get deeper. Here is where neurotoxins become key solutions. Our choice of botolinum toxin, Xeomin is incobotulinumtoxinA. It works by blocking the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions, therefore softening expression lines. The main difference of Xeomin versus other brands of what's popularly called "botox" is that it is a uniquely purified neurotoxin. "It is made through a unique precision manufacturing process that isolates the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the complexing/unnecessary proteins that don't play an active role in treatment," according to the brand. We were among the the first to try this when it first launched in the Philippines in 2018, and have been users since. During that time some doctors also found that Xeomin being a purified version, worked for regular botox users who've already developed tolerance for botolinum toxin. "Botulinum toxin helps reduce fine lines and lifts your skin. Most people who aren’t familiar with botulinum toxin tend to get worried that it will completely change their appearance. But if the treatment is done properly, it should make you look fresh," shares Dr. Anna Palabyab Rufino of BeautiqueMD. "The toxin can help soften the jawline by giving it a V shape, which adds more balance and dimension to a square or round face. The procedure can also prevent the deepening of lines." Available at leading dermatologist clinics and at BeautiqueMD, 8th floor MDI Corporate Center 10th Ave corner 39th Street, Taguig.

Belotero

Filler

Belotero is a hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable filler. The main difference of Belotero from other injectable HA fillers is its lower density, which allows it to fill in finer lines and wrinkles. It also has several options for various consistencies: Balance, Soft, Volume, and Intense. Depending on the desired outcome and area to be treated, doctors will help determine which range would suit a patient best. It can be used to treat very fine lines to deeper folds and can also be used for enhancing the lips or cheekbones. It is injected higher in the dermis, and it completely integrates into the skin tissue. Results last for 6 to 12 months. Available at leading dermatologist clinics and at BeautiqueMD, 8th floor MDI Corporate Center 10th Ave corner 39th Street, Taguig.
