(Beauty Review) Be treated like a royalty at Follicle Hair


I had been feeling very stressed up recently. When Follicle Hair gave me the opportunity to try their Meso Scalp Remedy, I jumped at the opportunity. I needed a me-time away from everything.



Meso Scalp Remedy is a treatment designed by board-certified doctors to prevent and combat hair loss and hair thinning. The treatment uses stem cell growth factors, laser light LED therapy and gentle needling to reboot the scalp and detox the hair.

Step 1: Hair Diagnosis and Consultancy



Detailed analysis using their software, gave a detailed report on the scalp condition. Scalp is one area we always neglect. Due to my frequent travelling, stress, lack of sleep, etc affected the condition of my scalp. Not so glam when you scratched your itchy scalp:_(
The therapist explained to me my condition in details and advised me to rest and relax more often.
 

Step 2: Relax and Detox


The treatment starts with relaxing aromatherapy, shoulder massage and a warm galvanic paddle to calm and prepare you for 90mins of bliss. The therapist then begins a scalp cleanse to unclog hair follicles, scale away dead cells and filter away chemical residues from hair styling products. using a Bio-Ionic paddle, followed by application of hair growth factors, essential nutrients and ends with medical-grade laser light therapy.

Cosy area to start my me-time

Next comes the Anion Shampoo Bubbly Wash. Essentially a shampoo wash with thousands of micro-bubbles, the tiny vibrations help to release scalp tension and enhance blood flow. 

Step 3: Main Treatment


The next stage uses cutting edge technology called meso-therapy, where essential minerals, vitamins, amino acids and co-enzymes are superficially needled into the scalp. Rest assured, new micro needles are being used during the visit. This delivery system is painless, safe and effective – in fact, it is one of the most progressive techniques used to combat hair loss, even for preventive measures, to boost hair growth.

The treatment ends with a laser LED light to sanitize the scalp and finally a mist bath to seal in the nutritive goodness of the meso-therapy.

Step 4: Styling


Finally, the treatment includes a final hair cleanse and professional hair styling at Follicle Salon. After this luxurious hair detox, you will find your hair bouncy, ultra soft and satin smooth. You’ll leave feeling like a Queen.

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 ;-)
