RF Treatment from Flawless

n the quest for better looking skin, I re-visited The Flawless clinic in Megamall to try out another treatment for my face. Since the last time I tried their Whitening Facial, this time I decided to skip the regular facial and go for something more.

During this visit, I decided to try their RF treatment for the face. RF or Radio Frequency treatment uses a machine and a hand held device, which rolls over and massages the desired area of the face and or body. The treatment aims to make the desired area more supple, more smooth, more youthful and more definition with prolong and constant use.

So I decided to try this treatment for my face. So I was brought to a private room for the treatment.

RF Machine



The treatment was pretty fast, only lasting about 20 minutes. A gel is applied on the face which would help the massaging of the hand held device of the machine more smoother and easier to maneuver. Also, one thing you should know about this treatment is, the massaging over the face gets warm. The actual device is what is warm, so the attendant gave me a button to hold and press anytime I couldn’t take the heat anymore. But luckily the heat was tolerable and actually very very relaxing.

After the treatment which lasted about 20 minutes, the excess gel was wiped off my face and neck. Initially, I felt my skin more supple and tight to the touch. My cheeks felt more firm and the feeling was really fresh. The only thing was, since you cant wash your face and wear any make up for 24 hours, the remnants of the gel applied on the face easily gets oily. But the solution to that is just tap your face with tissue every now and then. No biggie.

As advised by the attendant, this procedure will yield the best results when done at least once a week. The price range for RF treatments range from PHP3000 and above per session depending on the body area of treatment. So for those who can afford RF treatment, it is a great way in achieving healthy young supple skin that is pain free fast and non invasive. :)

It's time to be Flawless!

Forgive me Gods of Beauty and Skincare for I have sinned, It has been 2 years since my last facial. I have been jumping from one product to another in the hopes of achieving flawless skin. But to no avail. If you have been following me and reading my blogs, you guys know that I have terrible skin. My face is oily and breakouts easily. Thus my constant search in achieving Flawless skin.

As a make up artist, it is important you are the part. In other words, I have to be beautiful too, so that I can represent and sell myself well. That is the business I am in. Since I decided to become a MUA full time, looking beautiful should be full time too. But let's face it a bare canvas is always the perfect canvas. That goes best for me, It gets tiring putting on make up every single day for make up gigs, its bad for my skin too. So I just want to be beautiful, I want my skin to be flawless even in days I decide to not put on make up for work. I want my own face to be presentable as is, Flawless, and Healthy.

And so, I rest my fate on the wonderful people of Flawless Face and Body Clinic and let them deal with my problem (they are more than happy to deal with my problematic skin hehe) and help let my natural beauty shine through! :)

Flawless is probably the most convenient Aesthetic Clinic in the Philippines today, with 36 clinics nationwide, they have been recently awarded the "Outstanding Retailers of the Year Award" in 2009 by the Philippines Retailers Association. Now that says a lot not only about the quality of service Flawless offers and the number of clients Flawless has satisfied, but how Flawless is out there to reach out to all Filipinos. With services intensely researched and specifically targeted to common problems Filipino skin faces, Flawless customers are sure to keep coming back for more. And more does Flawless have! Not only is Flawless popular for their Facials and Peels, they also have medical services, RF & Laser procedures and Cosmelan by Mesoestetic, the newest depigmentation treatment to hit the market which by the way Flawless is one of the only local establishment that offers this service. This is in line with CEO Ruby Sy's advocacy to bring beauty to the fingertips of every Filipino, and together with all the licensed medical professionals Flawless is by far a beauty haven for everyone, young or old, male and female. :)

I knew I could trust flawless with my face therefore I headed to their Mega Mall branch and got myself the"Flawless White Facial" and I added ""Revital Eyes" for my unruly puffy eyes. Hehe


The Mega Mall branch is very bright and attractive, it has such a light feeling when you look at it, like it relaxes you already. It's so glam with its Pink and Gold colors, I already feel pampered! By the way, that's my mom at the front desk checking out the services. And since I already knew what I wanted I looked around the store first before I waited to be pampered. :)


Flawless Face and Body products were neatly displayed in the clinic, the colors and the packaging of the products are so pretty to the eyes aren't they? :) They have a whole range of products suited for all skin types, whether you have dry, combination or oily skin. They even have skincare specifically for Men! How cool is that, for all you guys out there, no need to feel less macho when using skincare for girls, you have skin care specially for men here at flawless! :)

Flawless White Facial + Revital Eyes

So it was time for my facial, I decided to get the Flawless White Facial and added Revital Eyes. I chose this since I have been on the go for the past couple of weeks running from one gig to another i have been forgetting to put on sunblock. :( And I know that with the recent heat wave of summer I went a couple of shades darker. I added the Revital Eyes because well I have insomnia and don't get to sleep at the right time so my eyes definitely needed the de-puffing. Hehe

I hardly got any pics taken when I was having the facial because uhhh I fell asleep. Haha It was soooo relaxing! I was lying down and i instantly felt relaxed because of the quiet ambiance paired with mellow music. And they had this aromatherapy scent to smell to instantly relax you too! Oh i loved that, i felt like dozing off right away! :) They cleansed my face and started massaging my face for what felt like 15 minutes! That was soooo goood after this they steamed my face, and while they were steaming my face, they placed my hands in this like warm glove that helps relax your hand. And after that they massaged my hand too! Ugh by this time I was in heaven, I got a facial with a body massage! So pampered! :) After this I dozed off... and woke up when the dermatologist said that they were gonna start pricking.

When the pricking started, I knew what to expect. I have a high tolerance in pain so it wasn't like a big thing for me except that it had been 2 years since my last facial. So i knew there was some serious pricking about to happen haha, And it did but I didn't tear up because of the light hand that was used. While my pricking was going on, i heard a familiar voice of a woman about to start her treatment, my mom. Hahaha She got jealous and instead of just waiting for me, she got herself a facial too. It was awesome, Mom and Me bonding over flawless. :)

After the pricking was mask time, this is where they applied the whitening mask to firm my face and close the pores. I really love the feeling of masks. This is where they apply the Revital Eyes too. Revital Eyes are patches you put under the eyes to help decrease puffiness. It has a soft gel feel to it which is cooling to the touch of skin. :) Here's a pic of me lying down, I fell asleep.

LOL

(notice my I just woke up eyes haha)

After a couple of minutes, my treatment was finished. Initially I felt my skin was able to breathe! I don't know why I stopped getting facials when It feels so good right after! And uhh, well here's what they got out of my face (no wonder my face felt like it could breathe better haha).

Disgusting I know but I'm glad the impurities are off my face, thanks to Flawless!


And for the very first time, here's a pic of me just after the facial. No make up what so ever since I wasn't allowed to put anything on my face for 24 hours.


You can see the little red bumps from the pricking but it subsided within the day. My whole face and under eye felt so fresh I wish my face felt like this all the time! :) I am really happy with the outcome. The Flawless White Facial is only PHP560 and the Revital Eyes is just an additional PHP150. Only PHP710 for both! That is really affordable! I will be sure to get this treatment once a month. I will make time to fit this is my schedule!

Treatment area, that's my mom getting her facial 2 seats away from where I got mine hehe :)


Like what I mentioned in the beginning of this post, I am really serious about having clear flawless skin. It's not only about presenting myself to my clients, but it is also my way of taking care of my skin. People do so much to try and not age at all, but for me all I want is to age gracefully. I know that I have to start taking care of my skin now and continue on taking care of my skin, I don't want to start too late so start now. And for those who are on the go like me, Flawless is there to help you take care of your skin. I'm glad that from now on, Flawless will be my partner in helping take care of my skin and also in to be beautiful in my own skin with or without makeup. :)

Flawless also has a promo now, just spend a minimum of PHP1200 and you will have a chance to win a Louis Vuitton Bag in the monthly Raffle, and in December you get a chance to win a Diamond Necklace! :) Flawless not only brings beauty more affordable to Filipinos, but now it is bringing Luxury to Filipinos! Who can't love that? :)


I cannot wait to have my next treatment at Flawless! I will definitely keep you guys in tuned with more of their services. :) What do you guys think I should try next time? Their Face Peels, Body Scrubs or laser & RF treatments? Help me decide! :)


Toodles! :)
