How to get smooth, clear skin – top to toe

14th January 2019 by Anthia Chng 3 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/top-aesthetic-treatments-for-smooth-skin-amaris-b-clinic/

If one of your resolutions is to get smooth and clear skin, these medical-grade treatments will help you clear spots and pigmentation marks on your face and hands, remove facial hair and smooth out stretch marks.

Problem 1: Pigmentation, acne scars, sun spots

Acne isn’t just a problem for teens; it can plague adults too – and it can be especially bad in a climate as humid as Singapore’s. Even when the inflammation clears up, you can be left with ugly scars and spots that take months to fade. Happily, you can speed up the recovery process with PICO Clear Skin laser, an FDA-approved picosecond laser treatment, which can be carried out only by qualified and certified doctors. Dr Ivan Puah at Amaris B Clinic is the sole official appointed trainer for this laser treatment on the island, so you’re in good hands!

Want clearer skin?

PICO Clear Skin laser also helps to treat uneven skin tone, a common concern known as hyperpigmentation. With its multiple treatment wavelength capabilities, it can effectively address dermal and epidermal pigmentation issues in a shorter period of time, as opposed to older versions of laser treatment. Apart from sorting those post-acne scars, it helps to even out overall skin tone for a clearer complexion.

Problem 2: Fuzzy chin and upper lip

Just imagine: you’re having a conversation with someone, but their eyes are fixed on that unsightly hair on your face. Sounds like a familiar situation? Thankfully, there are multiple options to help remove unwanted facial hair safely and effectively, and Amaris B Clinic’s medical-grade laser hair removal treatment is one such option.

Suitable for most areas on the face and body – including the back, underarms, upper lip, chin and neck – this lunchtime procedure is largely painless thanks to the application of numbing cream 30 minutes prior to the treatment.

Problem 3: Stretchmarks

Also known as striae, stretchmarks are a form of scarring caused when elastin and collagen around the area are destroyed. They occur when skin cannot bounce back after a period of intense growth caused by pregnancy, weight gain, extreme weight loss, adolescent growth spurts and even body building. They’re usually reddish or purplish at the beginning, fading to white lines over time.

At Amaris B Clinic, the treatment is customised to fit the individual. The clinic uses a combination of skin dermabrasion, peeling, tightening and collagen stimulation (using laser) to improve the skin’s appearance and reduce discolouration. A minimum of five sessions done every three to six weeks is recommended. Depending on your condition, the stretchmarks should gradually fade away within six to 12 months.

About the clinic
Established in 2004, Amaris B. Clinic offers medical-grade aesthetic treatments, including gynecomastia surgery, VASER Lipo and laser skin treatments. Medical Director Dr Ivan Puah has over 20 years of clinical practice in medicine, including 14 years in surgical body sculpting treatments, laser skin treatments and injectables such as Botox and fillers. He is a VASER-certified physician and is accredited by the Ministry of Health Singapore to perform liposuction. Dr Puah is also the appointed trainer for Picocare in Singapore, and the appointed doctor’s trainer for Botox and fillers.

Guys: did you know that your skin is structurally different from that of ladies? For most men, androgen (testosterone) stimulation results in skin that’s thicker and tougher than women’s skin. This also means you might need something more than just your wife’s, mum’s or sister’s moisturiser or face wash! 

Lumin was founded on this concept; this California-based online store offers simple yet effective skincare for men, tailored to different skin types and concerns. So, whether you’re looking for a good face cleanser or a moisturiser for men, this is one brand to check out.

To differentiate Lumin from other men’s skincare brands, founders Richard Hong and Darwish Gani flew to South Korea to work on formulas that benefit the thicker and more stubborn skin constructs of men. Most of the ingredients used are powerful plant-based extracts like ginger root, rosemary, coffee and shea butter. The paraben-free and cruelty-free brand also makes a point of avoiding unnecessary nasties commonly associated with popular off-the-shelf products.

If it’s your first time shopping for men’s skincare, you’ll be glad to know that the Lumin experience is simple and fuss-free. Just fill out a brief questionnaire and you’ll get a personalised skincare regime that’s suited to your skin type and lifestyle. You can choose to go with a one-time purchase or have your products delivered on a subscription basis. Alternatively, shop from the curated range of skincare sets catered to different budgets and preferences.

The rain and cold winds getting you down? A warm beverage and maybe a good book to snuggle up to might just chase the blues away!

If hot chocolate is too mainstream for you, could we offer up this red velvet alternative? @littlefarms have a wide selection of oat milks, almond milks and soy milk options. 

Since it's #Veganuary, we recommend using dairy free milks to recreate this recipe....

2 cups non-dairy milk of choice
4 medjool dates (pitted)
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon beet powder

Add the milk and dates into a saucepan.
Heat, over medium, until it reaches a simmer. Add the warm milk with the dates and the remaining ingredients into a high speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Serve and enjoy!
