KERASILK TAOYAKA System at Miracle Hair Studio

Are you looking for a true-blue hair repair treatment that leaves your hair with softness, elasticity and natural movement? Unlike other “hair treatments” in the market, the KERASILK TAOYAKA System is designed to repair and condition. This unique expert service is designed especially for Asian hair and strengthens it to a touchable, polished bounce. 

A multi-step, in-salon treatment with a dedicated home maintenance pack, goes well beyond hair repair and creates beautiful hair condition. Developed in Japan, the TAOYAKA system comes powered by KERASILK’s exclusive Biomimetic Silk, Hyaloveil and a unique high potency enhancer Taoyaka Technology. 

What can you expect at the treatment? Five major steps are completely customisable according to your damage level and desired hair feel - cleansing, priming, inner and outer repair of the hair structure and a sealing mask.  Using these steps, the stylist will create naturally healthy-looking hair keeping it rich in moisture. A 60-120 minute treatment, the benefits can last up to 4 weeks when using the at-home maintenance range. 

What did we enjoy most? While other hair treatments on the market mostly focus on the outer layer and look of the hair, what's unique about the Taoyaka treatment is that it repairs the hair structure from the inside out. Targeting both the inner and outer layers with its plant-based formula. Think of it like a facial for your hair, that’s exquisitely pampering and with glowing results!

Microneedling Radiofrequency & Vitamin C Infusion

Skinscape has just recently shifted to Asia Square, the heart of the central business district, making it extremely convenient for anyone working in the central business district to get their beauty fix.  Led by Dr Harvey Ho, Skinscape embodies a philosophy that emphasises enhancing beauty rather than creating drastic transformations. It was our first time trying their Secret Duo Micro-needling Radio-frequency with Vitamin C Infusion, which is a 2-step treatment developed in-house to brighten and rejuvenate aging and pigmented skin. 

First, your skin is cleansed before the application of a numbing cream on your face. After 30 minutes, micro-needling radio-frequency with Secret Duo is used to gently stimulate and improve your skin's basement membrane and quality, which is frequently impaired in the skin with melasma and other types of pigmentation. This process also stimulates collagen growth, improving fine lines, pores, skin laxity and quality.

Thanks to the highly effective numbing cream, the overall experience was not too bad. Certain areas felt more sensitive than the others but Dr Harvey was rather reassuring and it did not feel like a long time. The next step was much more soothing, where a custom blend of brghtening and regenerative ingredients and Vitamin C is infused into the skin using electroporation. It was a soothing experience to say the least. 

The micro-needling in the first step creates micro-channels which also faciliates the delivery of ingredients into the skin. Vitamin C is chosen as the key active ingredient as it protects the skin and repairs oxidative damage from the sun and environment. It also enhances collagen synthesis and lightens pigmentation. This specialised treatment is an alternative to laser treatments. 

My skin did look a little red post treatment and felt a little sore for the next few days however my colleagues noticed that my face looked firmer the next day. Post treatment care is relatively easy as there is minimal downtime. All you need to apply is an oinment from Dr Harvey, hyaluronic acid and suncreen. A week after the treatment, my skin looks brighter, my pores look visibly smaller and my face feels taut. 

Skinscape is located at Asia Square Tower 1, #02-07, 8 Marina View, Singapore 018960.

The Ultimate Anti-Ageing Facial at IYAC MEDSPA

Tired of keeping up with your skincare routine? As we age, fine lines, loss of collagen, and dehydration makes us resort to using multiple skincare products and trying new facial regimens. IYAC MEDSPA’s Ultimate Anti-Ageing Facial looks to target these skin concerns effectively. New to IYAC MEDSPA? This boutique medical spa at Camden Medical Centre, offers a range of products and clinical treatments curated by doctors and administered by therapists. 

Their signature anti-ageing facial uses the clinic’s in-house skincare brand Forest MD, and its new addition, the Asta Collagen Jelly Serum for collagen stimulation and age-defying results. A 90-minute facial, this treatment is suitable for all skin types including those with ageing or acne and pigment-prone skin. 

What can you expect at IYAC MEDSPA? On entry, it feels reassuring that this is a MED SPA, which means clinical treatments and clinical skincare will be used to bring your skin back to its glory. And yet, this is unlike a typical clinical facial. An indulgent 90 minutes means your therapist is able to evaluate your skin in detail, tweak the treatment as necessary and bring back a glow to your complexion. 

A 5-step treatment, the Anti-Ageing Facial at IYAC MEDSPA first starts with a Sapphire Microdermabrasion. This gentle exfoliation technique helps to purify the skin, and cleanse it out. Your aesthetician may also offer to do a gentle manual extraction, based on your skin’s sensitivity. 

Next up, a Mandelic Acid peel is used to reduce pigmentation, spots and promote healing of pimples or acne. Red Light Therapy and a lymphatic massage are coupled with Forest MD’s Asta Collagen Serum to help the goodness of the product seep deeper into your skin. This helps to promote firmness and also reduces any inflammation.  

Forest MD's Asta Collagen Jelly Serum is specially formulated with a blend of super antioxidants, proteins, and comes enriched with high doses of astaxanthin. An orange-coloured jelly serum it can also be used as a firming mask, brightening treatment or eye gel! 

We loved how the serum absorbs quickly into the skin leaving behind a silky and moisturised feel. 

That’s not the only Forest MD product used in the Anti-Ageing Facial. A pressurised oxygen infusion of hyaluronic acid and vitamins, plus a mist spray of Forest MD Stem Cell Repair Essence, work hard to get your skin plump and moisturised. This pampering process is finally sealed with gentle Bellalux LED lights, that stimulate collagen production and regeneration of skin cells.  

Immediate results from the facial include hydrated, brightened and supple skin. You will also notice a slight firming effect. To keep the effect going, we recommend buying the Asta Collagen Jelly Serum to take home, and use instead of your regular serum, day and night for that continuous glow.

Mandy T Skinlab : Age Antidote Facial

We have done numerous facial reviews over the last 8 years and Mandy T Skinlab is unlike any other. Located at 79 Anson Road, we had the pleasure to meet Mandy Leena Tan and had no idea that Mandy T herself does facial treatments for clients. 

Professionally trained and certified, Mandy T is an Electrical Facial Aesthetician with a special interest in Facial Anatomy and Physiology. Mandy is also the Founder and Artisanal Skincare Maker of multi-award-winning bodycare brand, Mandy T Skincare.

Kuko Beauty Full Face Fascia Resculpting Treatment 

Kuko Beauty is an aesthetic clinic that uses a unique approach to facial rejuvenation called Fascia Resculpting. The founder, Aili, developed the technique after experiencing accelerated aging and sagging skin. By combining traditional Chinese medicine principles with modern practices, Kuko Beauty aims to help customers achieve the best version of themselves. 

In comparison to western plastic surgery which involves invasive surgical procedures that aim to alter or enhance one's physical appearance that carry risks and side effects, Aili’s Fascia Resculpting technique is a non-invasive and holistic technique that focuses on activating the recovery function in the deep fascia layer and muscle layer to achieve a more lifted and sculpted look. This technique uses updated theories of facial muscle analysis, expression analysis, facial meridians, and acupoints to provide effective and safe results. 

Combining the latest advances in cosmetic science with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Kuko Beauty offers a holistic approach to beauty and wellness that allows people to present their most authentic selves at any age. Kuko Beauty's Fascia Resculpting technique targets the deep fascia and muscle layer to activate the recovery function and achieve real anti-aging effects. The technique is non-invasive, with no injection surgery or side effects, and it promotes holistic health. Kuko Beauty offers two types of Fascia Resculpting: Full Face Fascia Resculpting and Celebrity Face Resculpting. While it was painful and uncomfortable, my therapist Joy was very reassuring and kind. Both of us did see a difference after just a single treatment. Definitely a non-invasive face sculpting treatment for those with a higher pain threshold.

Kuko Beauty is located at 181 Orchard Rd, #03 - 12, Orchard Central Singapore 238896.

Chez Vous: Private Space

What is your idea of a private space in a salon? Peace, tranquillity, the ability to enjoy special privileges, and access to the leading hair treatments in Singapore. Ladies(and gents!), we introduce you to Chez Vous: Private Space, a unique and industry-leading concept that is all set to change the very definition of salon space in Singapore. 

Think of it as a business-class equivalent to your regular salon. Right from the entrance doorway to the individual rooms(yes, you literally get your own space), you’ll find the design and interior elements here gushing luxury. Whether its a snooze in the salon’s comfortable shampoo “beds” from BÜCE (Seoul) which use unique foam technology and eco-friendly plush “leather” or ipads to watch the next episode of your favourite show, all touch-points thoughtfully add that premium edge to your experience. 

And it does not end there! On offer and free for you to use, are wearable devices, a DIY facial sheet mask maker, all the gigs for a salon office such as personal work desks, power points, printing services and even an anti-stress colouring therapeutic kit! 

Want company during your salon treatment? While the exclusive space pods are available for your exclusive use, the salon also offers four semi-enclosed pods with duo seats for guests. 

We recommend keeping an appetite for your visit. The drinks menu is possibly the most comprehensive selection of delicious drinks - including Instagram-worthy teas, coffees and more. You also get to dive into a complimentary tiered high-tea set and enjoy delectable bites while getting your hair sorted. Skipped a meal? Just ask the friendly staff for a serving of instant porridge or noodles! 

And now the real question you’ve been wanting to ask - how much do I have to spend for this premium, luxury privilege? Similarly priced as other premium salons in Singapore, the exclusive add-ons at Chez Vous: Private Space are just that - complimentary benefits! 

Hair services at Chez Vous are available in three bundles: Basic, Premium and First Class. Basic bundles are priced at $385 (excl. GST), Premium bundles are priced at $475 (excl. GST), and First Class bundles are priced at $555 (excl. GST).

Most chemical services (such as Balayage, Perm, Soft Rebonding, etc.), inclusive of haircut and express head spa, cost $385 (excl. GST). For chemical services with an additional hair treatment, many cost $475 (excl. GST). These prices are similar to other top-tier salons in Singapore, but with all of those amazing extras, you know you want to try! 

Our verdict? From being able to swerve into a hair wash without lifting a foot(salon chairs turn into your personal wash basin!), and delighting in a pampering, massive area with all the design digs of a 5-star hotel, this is as premium as a hair salon experience in Singapore gets. 

Minus that massive price tag, of course. We’ll see you there! 

Chez Vous: Private Space.  #08-01, 391B Orchard Rd, Tower B, Ngee Ann City, Singapore 238874.

Brightside Dental Teeth Whitening

Want the expert view on teeth whitening? Brightside Dental is Singapore's first dental clinic dedicated only to teeth whitening services. What makes Brightside different from other aesthetic clinics are the immediate results that follow after a 60-minute session. 

Everyone agrees that having a brighter smile definitely brings that confidence boost. However, take into account cost for the treatment, and the consequent sensitivity, teeth whitening doesn’t seem that ‘bright’ a proposition for most. Here’s where Brightside Dental steps in. Offering a clinical environment(so you know it’s safe!), and costs that are easy on the pocket, they make the case for effective teeth whitening that you can afford. 

And while they have the right clinical facilities and doctor at the helm, the Brightside experience is very different from a typical dental visit. This is especially a big factor for those that suffer from dental phobia! The space at Brightside is designed to be calming for the comfort of patients. Imagine a dental visit but with an immersive spa-like experience. The session starts with a quick consultation, scaling and polishing. The best part is, you can take a quick nap or watch your favourite Netflix series from the TV suspended above. 

The results? Expect to see visibly brighter and whiter teeth by 3-5 shades. This is achieved by using teeth whitening gels that range from 10-35% in concentration. A whopping value compared to the usual treatments on the market which only use <0.1% concentration! 

Want a little hand holding? Our experience at Brightside Dental was all things positive! The actual process was seamless, with plenty of fun Netflix thrown in. Constant checks, mean you can raise an alarm when your teeth have had too much. We peaked on sensitivity towards the end of the session, but the staff at hand, quickly customised the treatment to match that. A few hours of tingling and sensitivity later, and that bright smile is yet to leave our sides!

Results vary due to different lifestyle habits, however, they typically last 12-18 months. The helpful staff will explain ways on keeping sensitivity low, and a few tricks on managing the shade of your new found teeth. Efficient and easy on the wallet - head down to Brightside to achieve your brightest smile today!

La Source Crystal Healing Facial

The La Source Crystal Healing Facial is all you need for mind, body, and spirit wellness at its finest. This therapeutic facial employs the healing properties of crystals and the deft hands of skilled therapists to deliver a deeper experience in skincare and well-being. 

Choose from a variety of crystals to refine your spa experience. Whether it's the Onyx Facial for vitality and cleansing, Rose Quartz for anti-ageing effects, or the Jade Facial for stress release and tranquillity. 

To improve blood and fluid circulation, La Source uses unique face rollers, instruments composed of various crystals, and massage techniques. Overall, increasing lymphatic drainage and skin suppleness, and minimising oedema and puffiness.

We tried the Onyx Crystal Healing Facial which promises improved skin, detoxification and revitalized vitality. The facial kickstarts with essential oils for an easing effect, followed by soothing massage techniques. Furthermore, crystal instruments are utilised to help with swelling and blood circulation. Finally, signing off with a Singing Bowl. You can choose a deeper extraction for the skin care component or keep it lightly invasive for an overall soothing experience. 

Additionally, we advise going with the 15-minute Facial Crystal Grid add-on. Each crystal is strategically positioned on meridian points where they vibrate at different frequencies and boost a natural glow when in sync. They are also known to absorb heat and release it in the form of tension.

SOL Aesthetics truSculpt iD

truSculpt iD is a non-invasive body contouring and permanent fat reduction treatment in Singapore. To achieve long-lasting fat loss, it utilises advanced monopolar radiofrequency technology to destroy fat cells in the deep subcutaneous layer. With the versatility of 6 applicators, the treatment is customisable for all body shapes and types. In just 15 minutes, the treatment can result in a 24% fat cell reduction. Fat cells are heated until they are destroyed and naturally removed by our body.

The truSculpt iD procedure is extremely comfortable and painless. You can expect a warm sensation resembling a hot stone massage. A pleasant, cool temperature is maintained on the skin's surface while radiofrequency radiation is applied to the deep subcutaneous fat layer during the procedure.

The best part is, there is minimal downtime after the procedure! The treatment area will be warm and reddish but resolved quickly within 1-2 days. 

Results vary from person to person, however, we could see a difference in 2 weeks! Typically, fat cells take up to 12 weeks to be removed naturally by the body. Results can usually be seen about 4-6 weeks after the first treatment, and you may continue to see improvement up to 12 weeks post-treatment.
