BAZAAR Spa Awards 2019: Facials To Brighten, Refine Pores & Lift, Lift, Lift

BEST PORE-REFINING FACIAL BB BABY SKIN BOOSTER 

$3600 for four sessions, The Aesthetics Medical Clinic

Those familiar with the Rejuran Healer and PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) will know the restorative benefi ts of salmon DNA. After applying numbing cream, the bio-compatible substance is delivered through micro injections to the source of collagen and elastin production, stimulating the skin’s regenerating functions. A healing mask with a cold probe then soothes the skin. You may first face  bumpy skin with tiny red spots, but what follows after a day or so are shrunken pores, smoother texture, improved density and lightened blemishes. Visit tamc.com.sg

BEST MICRODERMABRASION DIAMOND DIVA FACE THERAPY

$220 for 75 minutes, Privé Aesthetics

Goodbye, enlarged pores and blemishes; hello, smoother and revitalised skin. This treatment begins with deep cleansing, before potent serums are applied in the microdermabrasion process, where a diamond-tipped wand gently exfoliates the skin’s surface. A mild suction then lifts all impurities away, before a customised mask to refresh and nourish. Visit priveaesthetics.com

In turn, skin is visibly refined with a healthy glow. Visit tamc.com.sg
