Beauty Review: Skin Supplements from Dr GL

Beauty shines from within, my mantra always. Hence, I never stop my search in the best oral supplements to work together with my beauty treatments.

Dr Georgia Lee, the celebrity Aesthetics doctor, recently came up with a revised recipe for her skin supplements after a long hiatus. All due to a lot of time spent researching for the best ingredients to achieve the best results. I was glad to be one of the first to try the top notch nutrition for my skin. 

I love this shot of Dr Lee

See the burst of goodness in the box

Very handy for the jetsetter.


Just pop 2 tablets before sleep every night. The multi-vitamins including crystal tomato will work on your skin while you rest. Basically you can stop all your other supplements (as advised by doctor) except replenishment of calcium.


Into my 3rd box of skin supplements now. Skin felt radiant, pigmentation lighten and felt energized to face the daily challenges. The goodness inside each box is definitely worth many times of the price tag of S$129!

Dr GL Skin Supplements are made a available at these convenient locations:

Spa Review (Go60)


Checking out Go60 which is Singapore’s only fixed-price lifestyle spa boutique concept by Mary Chia Holdings Limited. Located conveniently at the Esplanade MRT (Circle Line), along the lane leading to Suntec City and Marina Square.

Cosy treatment room that made you feel relaxed.



The treatment I had: Most Advanced Hydrating Facial Treatment (60-min/Retail Price $60)

A hydrating facial treatment that incorporates the seven-step, Spanish Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) technique. The MLD massage helps to remove toxins and keeps the cells healthy. The lymph system is part of the body’s natural defence system. Massaging it will help the lymph system deliver nutrients to the cells as well as carry away cellular waste, bacteria and toxins. The massage also reduces facial puffiness - it alleviates fatigue as well as aids in all types of swelling from surgery to injury recovery. The lymph system carries water away, and with a facial lymphatic massage, you can experience a less swollen-looking appearance. Finally, the massage invigorates the skin, tissues and nerves to unveil an ageless appearance. It relieves stress in the body and awakens a more vibrant you.


I fell asleep quite quickly during the massage. Using specially-concocted aromatherapy oil, I felt relaxed instantly and just dozed off.
 
The therapist finished off the facial with a cooling cream mask which felt really rejuvenated.

 
A cup of warm tea after the treatment. 
  
Will I be back? Yes, surely, even if I am not sponsored. The therapist was very professional and well-trained. No hard selling experienced at the spa too. 

On a side note: llao llao was along that stretch too;-p

    Au Natura with Sculptra




    Before Sculptra

    Though I am 39 years old this year, I have always done firming treatments to maintain. Hence overall I still look acceptable except for the more obvious laugh lines.

    It came to my attention when my face suddenly turned dry, peeling always, especially when I travel. For a period of time, I was on a constant dose of steriods to curb the rashes due to dry skin. Dry skin made my nasio-labial folds (smile lines) even more obvious.


    Using Iphone 5s with no filter used. See my more obvious laugh lines. (Not my baby haha)

    One day, hub alerted me; "where are your chubby cheeks? 

    My usual reply: "I gave them to our girls!"

     
    That was me in my 20s when cheeks looked fuller. 

    Look naturally young with Sculptra.


    Doctor Lee checking on the areas where I needed more boost.


    Always excitedly looking forward. Must be thinking I am such a sadist who loves injection so much.

    I was done in less than 10 mins. Doctor was swift in his jabbing. Not much pain experienced although I had minimal numbing done on my cheek area. Really a quick lunchtime fix. 

     
    Nurse massaging my face to stimulate the collagen production. I am supposed to massage my face for a minimum of 3 times a day for the 5 days.


    How I look immediately after treatment? No downtime, I can resume my lifestyle right after that. All in all, it was only done in less than 30 mins. Numbing cream another 10 mins. Doc took about 10 mins only! 

    My curiosity made me want to do a research on whether Sculptra treatment was really a no downtime one. Indeed, it is highly dependable on the doctor's skill. There were cases of bruises on the face due to multiple jabbing points. Hence it is very important to choose the best especially when it comes to the face. 

    With the amazing team who never failed to make me feel at home whenever I am there. No pic with the Doc Lee as he is camera shy:-p


    1 week after Sculptra


    2 weeks after Sculptra


    1 month after Sculptra

    All pictures here were taken using the Iphone 5S with no filter used.

    Over the next three months, you will realise my face will get better and younger. Smiles lines bye bye. Dry skin bye bye. Welcome firm full cheeks. Sculptra will help to plump up the tiny depressions on the cheek areas. 

    In fact, Dr Lee is the official Sculptra trainer in Southeast Asia for 2015 and 2016.  If you want to try it, do with the best. I cannot compromise when it comes to the face ;-)
