Aesthetic Treatment: Nose Threadlift at Charismata Aesthetics

I did a Nose Threadlift.

With Korea setting as trend leader, it’s getting a lot more common to do Aesthetic Treatments these days and people are a lot more open minded to seeking improvements to their facial features.

Are you unhappy with your chubby face? Are you unhappy with your nose? OR do you want a more perfect, symmetrical face? Regardless of your gender, female or male, we the younger generations are all at our vainest, wanting to take over the social media world.

Therefore, if you’d like to know more about doing small harmless Aesthetic Treatments (with no surgery involved), you can take my experience as a mini reference!

Recently, I went for my virgin Aesthetic Treatment, being very open-minded, I did a Nose Threadlift spontaneously!

All thanks to My Fat Pocket team, I was able to get link up with Charismata Aesthetics.

For people who do not know me well, I’ve always had FLAT nose. And when I caps in the word flat, I meant very flat. How flat? Being hit by a soccer ball in my face during my secondary school days is no biggie at all. Reason being, I have either no nose bridge/ the bone is really very soft!

Therefore, when I went for the treatment, I knew that my nose is finally going to be “rescued”. Once I arrived at the clinic, I did a pre treatment consultation with Dr Lian. Dr Lian explained to me the procedures, and have a good look at my (flat) nose.

To begin with, I have no fear, I already read up about the process online and have a really good mind preparation for the tread lift. However, I guess Dr Lian still did a good job of explaining to me in details, which also helps make me feel at ease.

With supporting pictures, I’m going to explain how the process work.

First, I’ve been injected with at least 4 Anesthetics jabs into my nose. And before the medicine will actually work, you should be expecting some pain (very minor, like a normal injection). And for this pain, I only rate it 2/10, or even 1/10 if you are very used to injections! It takes about 10 minutes for this process.

The next moment, I can’t feel my nose anymore. The anesthetics had “sink in” and it’s time for the procedure. As I mentioned, that I have literally no nose bridge, Dr Lian had then decided to place all 4 threads to “create” a nose bridge.

 

Of course, I can’t see what is going on yet, and I can only feel the movement of Dr Lian pushing the threads up my nose. You won’t feel any pain at all! And this procedure took about another 10-15minutes. Then, we’re done!

Can you see the NOSE BRIDGE???

I was blown away by how obvious my nose bridge is right now, as compared to before. And I am definitely pleased because of how natural it looks even from the side.

These photos are taken right after the threadlift, there is no downtime, except for the fact that I have to keep the plaster on, at the bottom of my nose, for 1-2 days.

Here, for comparison, this is my nose before the treatment, nothing, no nose bridge at all!

And then, look at it now! Proud*

About the pricing, the treatment that I did is <$2000. The threads that they use are thicker that many other clinics which offer a lower pricing, and is able to last me about 2 to 3 years. That is a really long time? So don’t get swayed by lower pricing, do your research!

If you’re interested to do the same nose thread lift, or are looking to do other simple Aesthetic Treatments, do feel free to look for Dr Lian at Charismata Aesthetics for a consultation! I personally think that he is really professional, meticulous and good at the treatments.

Charismata Aesthetics is located at International Plaza, Level 02-89.

Post treatment,

Day 1: I feel slight aches at my nose bridge, like muscle aches, but definitely bearable.

Day 2: Cautious but I don’t feel pain and is rather natural.

Day 3 onwards: It felt so normal and a part of me now.

Definitely worth the investment!

Oh, and MFP will be uploading a video of my treatment process so keep a look out for it! I’m really excited to see the video myself!

Lynn Aesthetics Facial [AD]

Major love for Lynn Aesthetic and their beautician staffs!

The hospitality is daebak.
The moment i step foot into the facial salon, i fell in the love with the atmosphere.

For those who loves going for spa/massage overseas, especially in Bangkok,
you’ll love this place!
It’s prettily decorated and the whole place smells like lavender massage oil.

I actually brightened ALL of my photos alot, the place is much more dull and with dim, comfortable lighting.

These are the consultation rooms where the beauticians get you to fill up a form and retreive information from you regarding your skin type/conditions and all.

The entrance isn’t too impressive, but you’ll be impressed along the way!

They served me fruit tea while waiting, along with some mentos.

Then next i go viewing the entire place, and taking a look at the different rooms.
This is the 1st Level Room, which is also the Gents place.
They have a massage/facial around for guys! 
Which means boyfriends get to accompany their girlfriends for appointments!

Next, there i go, up to the 2nd Level, which is the Ladies area(No guys are allowed up there)
But first, selfie at the pretty mirror/deco before heading up!
I Really LOVE how they decorate their place?
Maybe it’s christmas period but it’s just plain awesome because they are really detailed in all the decorations.

At the 2nd Level, it’s where you’ll be amazed by the transformation of the salon as compared to the outside.
They built a resting area, with magazines, and snacks provided for you.
A BIG YES!

Then, i visited more rooms, and all of them were in different themes!
The photos don’t do justice, cause it’s way more relaxing when you were actually in them.
And this beauty salon is actually really old, they had been operating for close to 30 years? or more.
Therefore, the wall looks like it’s peeling, but the effort is 100% when it comes to creating the atmosphere for the entire place to feel good.


Finally, it’s my turn to do the facial!
Stoked to see this room, it’s supposingly the boss’s room, otherwise called VIP room.
The room is really pretty and huge!

Despite it being a neighbourhood salon, it’s completely professional.
And definitely comparable to those located at town area.
(Okay i really have bad impressions for neighborhood salons, because the last time i went, they squeezed so hard that i felt like my skin is going to tear T.T) 

My beautician’s name is Kate Tan, and she’s the Head Therapist.
The facial i did, was actually a customised one, according to my skin condition.

It’s very similar to the following guidelines that they offer to most people:

Lynn Aesthetic Detox Facial – Young and Trendy
Their Detox Facial focuses on the “self repair ability” that humans naturally have. 
By accelerating the metabolism of the cell,it helps to recover your best skin condition.


1) Cleanse
2) Tone
3) Gommage Peel
4) Steam- Skin Scrubbing(Machine)-
Suction
The steam felt great, especially when the room is cold and chilly.
It’s meant to open your pores further so it’s more thorough when they cleanse them.


5) Eyebrow Trimming
6) Oxygenating Serum/ Detox Gel/ Collagen/ Whitening Serum/ Hydrating Gel/ Slimlook Gel (Customized by Skin
7) Lip, Eye Care
8) Oxygenating Night Cream, Face, Shoulder Head Massage
9) Co2 Cream Mask
10) Hand Massage
11) Foot Massage
For hand and foot massage, they apply warm towels on you and it felt great, once again.
They do provide massage services on their menu as well, which explains why they are so skilful!

12) Toning- Cream – Sunblock

Before(with makeup) and After the facial (without makeup)
My skin is definitely brighter and less dull.
For hand and foot massage, they apply warm towels on you and it felt great, once again.
They do provide massage services on their menu as well, which explains why they are so skilful!



After the massage, they redirect you to the reception for refreshments.
Yay cause they served grapes and fruit tea again.

They also have a range of their own brand’s products.


Overall, i rate my experience 10/10.
I felt like a king being served so meticulously in the VIP room!
The extraction was not too painful, and they used legit machines for the facial session.
Followed by an amazing massage session, everything was great!

Lynn Aesthetic is located at:

Restore your skin from inside out: Avalon Stem Cell Beauty Drink

I never knew maintaining your skin from the inside is as important as maintaining it from the outside(Endless skincare routine,toner,essence,serum,moisturiser etc)

Today, i get to try and experience the magic behind the
AVALON ™ Stem Cell Beauty Drink – 


It’s very easy to get troubled skin, especially if we are lack of sleep, eats rubbish food, or generally don’t stick to a healthy routine..

Ladies(or guys who love their skin, anyone really!) , if you have trouble restoring your skin even after splurging on endless beauty products, it’s time for you to invest in these tiny bottles of goodness! (I’ll educate you on why so below)



AVALON ™ Stem Cell Beauty Drink 
is the first beauty drink in Singapore that contains Young Orchid Stem Cells

In the past, Orchid were used to promote health and cure diseases
 by the ancient Chinese, ancient Aztecs brewed a strength potion from its flowers to obtain power over their enemies, Europeans used it in Love potions and the Geeks used it for fertility. 

Today, Orchid extracts (the flower as a whole) are use in multiple varieties of products including hair care, body care, and skincare products.


Do you know?
 Fundamental to having good skin is maintaining healthy skin cells.
To fully benefit from any oral beauty supplements or skincare, it is important to have healthy skin cells to fully absorb and locks in the skin beneficial nutrients. 

Research discovered Orchid Stem Cell is a powerful antioxidant and possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties, particularly young orchid stem cells protect the skin from environmental damages while hydrating and renewing our skin cells thus making it an excellent youth revitaliser which works on almost all skin types.

CONSUMPTION DIRECTIONS

It has a great taste as well cause it contains Sparkling Water, which boost nutrients absorption & promotes skin metabolism!


SOME BEAUTY FACTS FOR THOUGHTS:

• Once we reach adulthood, most of our cells stop growing except our skin cells. The cycle of cell production and replacement takes about 28 days, skin cells die, slough off, and are replaced by new skin cells, however the process slows down with age. Our skin cells needs nutrients to grow, when they receive little nutrients the entire cell renewal process slows down resulting in appearance of various skin problems.

• Taking Collagen alone is insufficient to fight signs of aging. Fundamental to having good skin is maintaining healthy skin cells. To fully benefit from any oral beauty supplements or skincare, it is important to have healthy skin cells. 

• On average, each person requires up to 2000mg to 5000mg of collagen every day, anything more is waste as our body is unable to absorb.

 • Exposure to ultraviolet light, UVA or UVB, from sunlight accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging, it damages our skin cells

ACUVUE® Oasys® 1-Day


Hi guys!
I’m back with a collaboration with Acuvue and Samplestore SG!
This time, i’ll be reviewing their latest range of product, the 
ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day lenses.

I’m very used to wearing coloured lenses, and the quality of those lenses can range from established brands or from random Instagram shops(Lousy quality ones basically)
I shall not rate the other brands in this post, but overall, what i’m saying is that i know how to differentiate the comfort level of clear lenses as compared to coloured ones.

As said to be:
“The Lens That Keeps Up With My Demanding Days”, 
I totally get the message Acuvue is trying to send across.

As you know, for most people, we wear our lenses (clear) daily from morning till night, which makes it dry, tired, uncomfortable for our eyes to handle. (Especially for working adults, with the hectiv work lifestyle)

Recently, i went for a Free Professional Eye Check (Worth $60) at Eyewear Optics located at Thomson Plaza.

I’ve done a comprehensive eye health check with my ECP named Ai Ling:

Ai Ling is very friendly and knows her stuff really well.
She checked thoroughly for any damage in my eye and explains to me well on my eye degree and how this new range can help me on my daily use. (which will be explained later)


So what the main difference with the new ACUVUE OASYS lenses?

Demanding days destabilize the tear film, and for OASYS, it uses Hydraluxe™, which is a Tear Infused Design to retain the moisture from your tears.
Lastly, needless to explain, tears definitely work better than water.


What is HydraLuxe™
An enhanced network of tear-like molecules that enables ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day to integrate with and support the tear film.

In simple words, for a consumer’s understanding:
Increased No of Molecular Bonds in polymer network =  Increase thread count in luxury Similar to bed sheets

With this, ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day can help unlock first jobbers’ career goals as they transit into a more demanding lifestyle

The lenses are retailing at $72 per box (30 lenses in a box) 
I’ve been wearing the Acuvue Oasys for 2 weeks and I’m proud to say I’m sold!
I literally don’t use eye drops anymore, on a normal day I used to apply 3-4
times a day.

Overall, I have tested and am really pleased with the lasting lenses.
My eyes feel more comfortable (Less dry) throughout the day!

To my readers, 
You can now download $30 e-voucher to try ACUVUE® OASYS® 1-Day 
(Voucher will also be valid for other key brands – Define™, MOIST® for Astigmatism, MOIST® Brand Multifocal)
