ceecookie; differin can only be prescribed by a doctor
glycolic acid (fruit acid) treatment is quite good if u have abit more in your budget... it will make your outer skin rot and fall off... i paid $240 for 2 treatments.
the first treatment will be glycolic 25% which is to make way for the 2nd treatment which is 50% glycolic where it will penetrate your skin and rot away your entire face... and reveal new skin... but it's very pain for the first 2 days.

What if my skin only have the nose full of blackheads and some enlarged pores + little stubborn pimples..can i still do this? Will it be effective and gurantee me a clear skin? Only two treatments then no more?Originally posted by fai:ceecookie; differin can only be prescribed by a doctor

they will remove the blackheads for u manually depending on where u do it...
when i went to bioskin they hot mist my face and use a sucking tube to remove the blackheads.... which is pretty weak. "Face of man"(only for males) use the manual method... very pain but produce better result...
the glycolic peel treatment will give a clearer skin but not neccesarily smooth skin... the acid will give u a better tone and make all the scars and marks the same colour as your skin. Also they will ask u after the 25% treatment whether u want to increase to 35% or 50%... i chose 50% becoz i don't want to waste time $$.
smooth skin is achieve through microdermabrasion.. which is $1200++ depending on the conditon. -
you will not want to go out for 3 days after the 50% stage so choose a good time to do it.

Ok i got the address. Thanks !Originally posted by Ayukat:Eat medine lor, he giv u 2 standard medicine 1st, 1 to to smoothly down ur skin, the other to I not sure.
Then after 2 weeks, go see him again, den he review u, he may or may not giv u another medicine, tis 1 is to make ur skin less oily, may dry up ur lips though, but not every day take lah, every other day take.
Then afterr 2 weeks, go see him again, den he review u, den most probably cut down ur medicine to half.
Then afyer that 3 weeks later go see him, he giv u cream, cut down on ur medicine
Then after that 4 weeks later see him again... but I dunno do wat, haven 4 weeks yet...
Oh ya, and he says dun go for facial or put any cream on ur face, and he provides u with his own washing lotion also. I heard that after ur treatment u can go back to buy the lotion without any cosultation.
Its opposite Serangoon JC lah. About $50 per session.
Y do I feel lye advertising?

The second picture, after the skin peeled off..they reveal the pinkish part..erm i dun want that..how long does it take to heal them? Btw is your skin condition good after the treatment? So if they tear my face and nose, my blackheads will be gone also? Cause if i want to do, must as well, do them together you see..dun want like must go pluck the blackheads in other salon.

i'm not sure about the treatment, and it sounds pretty freaky. But i know of this product my mum uses called neostrata, it also involves the use of glycolic acid for most of its products and this brand covers an entire range from facial wash, mask, bionic lotion etc. Neoceuticals spot treatment gel also works wonders, it removes the dark blemishes in days. It really does work, and i've seen them selling it at Horizon Clinic along thomson road, otherwise check with those gp chains like healthway, etc, they are likely to have it.Originally posted by fai:ceecookie; differin can only be prescribed by a doctor
