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

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 ;-)

Sculptra in Singapore by Official Trainer Dr Lee Mun Heng


I knew about Cambridge Medical Group via the Social Media and especially as the leading name for Sculptra in Singapore. Apparently it was like a favourite hangout for the socialites and celebrities. Definitely with this group of atas clientele, I would assume Cambridge to be on the high end, but I had heard so many good things about them I decided it was worth a visit. When it comes to your face, I prefer to choose quality over a low Sculptra price, wouldn't you? 

Read on to see my full Sculptra review.

Where to do Sculptra in Singapore

I decided to arrange an appointment for a consultation with Dr Lee first. Dr Lee is the official trainer for Sculptra in Singapore and Southeast Asia. Perhaps he could help me to attain a flawless complexion like the socialites? I must admit that coming to such an atas place did have me worrying about the Sculptra cost. But consultant was free anyway and if his Sculptra price was too expensive, I could still decide to walk away :-)

Dr Lee articles

To my surprise, Dr Lee was very approachable, humble and most importantly knowledgeable. That made me felt more comfortable in sharing with him my skin woes. In recent years, due to intensive travelling, my skin was dry. I realised my nasolabial fold (smile lines) became more obvious now. That was a sign of aging. Dr Lee is a Cambridge University med-school graduate! And as previously mentioned, him being the official Sculptra trainer appointed by pharmaceutical giant Galderma makes me feel like I can trust him a lot more. Haha!

My Singapore Sculptra Review

Dr Lee suggested using Sculptra to help me to replace the collagen I lost. Due to the hectic lifestyle, stress, modern women experience collagen loss at an even younger age like early 30s. I am turning 39 years old this year, with 2 kids. Hence I was considered lucky that my collagen loss was still mild. 


Sculptra is made from a synthetic material called poly L-lactic acid , which will gradually and naturally absorb by the body as it works to replace the loss collagen. It is different from other face fillers which give immediate volume – Sculptra takes longer to work but the eventual result is that your face gets plumped with its own collagen and not any foreign material. I found this to be a real plus point.

Poly L-lactic acid has also been used for decades as dissolvable stitches and face injectable since 1999 in over 30 countries. Hence its safety is assured.

After double-checking the Sculptra cost, I felt it was ok and I was ready to go ahead.

Excited about the Sculptra treatment
Face was cleansed thoroughly. Excited about the Sculptra treatment!

After 30 mins, I was totally numbed and all ready to kickstart my Sculptra treatment.

Doc told me I would soon resume my youth after the treatment. I am looking forward to the end results blissfully.

There was no pain at all cos my face was all numbed. No exaggerating effect immediately after the jab. It looks very natural and I hope it improves even more over time!
a gentle massage to stimulate the Sculptra
Getting a gentle massage to stimulate the Sculptra – I am told this is important!
Unlike other face fillers, Sculptra is one of the few treatments in Singapore where I am encouraged to go for facials immediately after the treatment. The nurse teaches me the massaging techniques which are going to activate the Sculptra further. For the next five days, I would need to massage at least three times a day to stimulate the collagen reproduction.
 no downtime or puffiness
Immediately post-procedure. There is no downtime or puffiness.


Sculptra in Singapore is like a quick fix before important appointments. All ready to go out later. 

Result was au natural
Result was au natural. I could immediately resume my normal life. I really like the results – what do you think? =)

Sculptra Cost & Price

Surprisingly, Dr Lee's Sculptra cost is Singapore is also a reasonable market-rate. Phew, all this worry about being overcharged was unfounded… no wonder so many celebrities and socialites go there. I haven't tried the other treatments but the Sculptra price is definitely good!

2 weeks after Sculptra
2 weeks after my Sculptra review and experience in Singapore. Smile widely naturally with no makeup except sunblock. Can you see the collagen increase in my cheek zone? Happy, happy, happy!
Now I just hope the results last and keep improving! Doc says three sessions will be ideal but results will vary according to individuals. 
I can always come back for touch-ups later, its good to know that this is repeatable and the Sculptra price is reasonable! The final effect from Sculptra is pretty long lasting, up to 2 years.

I would suggest making an appointment to consult the doctor first to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for Sculptra before embarking on it.

World's First 6D Eyebrow Embroidery by Eagle Beauty

The eyes are windows to our soul. It is of utmost importance to frame my eyes with a pair of perfectly arched eyebrows Kudos to Eagle Beauty's 6D Eyebrow Embroidery treatment, my eyes look more enchanting with naturally beautiful eyebrows!
 
Natural perfect looking brows without the hassle of drawing daily. (especially for me). I used to spend at least 30 mins to draw my eyebrows. Now makeup only took me not more than 15 mins. 

I started doing eyebrow embroidery since 2007. I was born with sparse eyebrows. Being unhappy with my flat and sparse eyebrows, I went to pluck on my own, hoping to achieve the perfect arch. Who knows I ended up having drooping eyebrows aka 倒霉 (bad luck in Chinese)

My existing eyebrow embroidery that had been with me for the past 2 years. 

Started by redesigning my brows for a young refreshing look. 

She took a while to redesign my brows. She would base on your face shape, refine again and again to give you the perfect arch for your eyebrows. 


My korean inspired eyebrow;-)

My thin old brows. Made me look cliché. 

Numbing cream was applied to make the entire process a painless one.


Work in Progress.




Yay! One side had completed. Such pretty brow I have now. 


I could relax and rest my eyes while she was working on my brows. No pain at all.
 


Done! 


There would be slight peeling after a few days. A pair naturally- coloured brows would emerged then.

A bottle of Fast Repair Cell was given to nourish the eyebrows. Just apply twice a day. 
 
The generations of eyebrow embroidery. How it had evolved over the years.

So happy with my new set of newly-embroidered eyebrows. Received compliments from friends how natural my eyebrows looked and I actually looked younger!
