[Review] : Having Fire and Ice on My Face

Hello Gorgeous, welcome! Have you read my post about the latest event, blogger gathering with youth and beauty clinic? As I promised, I'm gonna share about my experience having treated at Youth and Beauty Clinic Kemang, Jakarta.

The Clinic was located at Kemang, so it's pretty near to my house. *thank God* so I came early in the morning to meet the doctor so I can consult about my face skin condition, and what's the best treatment for me. As I came, the receptionist asked me to sit while she prepare for me. Then she asked to fill a registration form, like my biodata, and if I have any allergies. Then right after that, they bring me to dr. Gaby's room to consult about my face and the treatments I need.

As she examined me thoroughly, asked whether I have tried products from other clinics and how's my daily routine, also which part I want to fix. Few months ago, I still use some products from my personal doctor. But then I stopped because it's too much and I have so much skincares and products to be tried. I said, I want to fix the acne scar on my face. It's red all over my cheek and I have some blackheads as well. Dr. Gaby suggested to try PRP or vampire facial, but then she said the skin will be very sensitive for like one week. Since I have so much event to attend, I told her not to do it that day. After having a bit discussion, then she suggested me to try Fire and Ice treatment that day, and few weeks later go back to have PRP treatment. And so, I did just like she told me to do. 

Before we start the treatment, they asked me to sign a document. 

Fire and Ice treatment was designed as a mild peel containing glycolic acid and retinol. The one who took care of the treatment is Mbak Aca. First, she cleansed my face with face cleanser and then continued using facial foam. This feels different, since I'm a regular to facial treatment of the clinic near my house, but they never did this. Usually they only cleanse my face using facial milk cleanser and wipe it off with warm water. 

After Cleansing, some kind of cream (or mask ?) was applied onto my face. It wasn't really uncomfortable at all, but it surely had a strange sensation on my skin. It feels warm at first, tingling, and nearly the end of it (when it's near to 10 minutes where they need to wash it off) it feels like the fire was really on my face (oke lebay) but it surely was hot. Indonesian people says "cekot cekot". Next step, for sure is cleanse my face from fire. This step is to open my pores, so that the serum which will be applied later can be absorbed well.

Next after open my pores, they do vacuum. This one is to take off the blackheads from my skin. Unlike the ones that clinics always do, they don't squeeze them from my face. They do vacuum and also with serum, which helps my skin nourished and it feels painless! I love this one.

Then the "ice" part was applied on my face. I was told this one's to calm and rejuvenate the skin. It feels like ice, cool and calming. I love this one. It made me feels comfortable even almost fell asleep. After some time (I forgot, maybe around 10 minutes more or less) then they took a portable device. It was used onto my face, with colorful lighting (?) there are some colors but the ones on my face was these two, I guess. They covered my eyes before using this so I don't really know the exact colors, only from these photos they took for me. It has a fan, made me feel more relaxed and helps my skin absorbed the serum.

This one was over in around 10 minutes I guess, and then we continue to the next step, almost finish!!

To close the treatment of the day, they applied serum (there are 2 serums : fire serum and ice serum) onto my face. It helps my face looks better, I'm sure of it! And then Mbak Aca let me see my face after treatment. My reaction was like..... WOW. SUPERWOW. My face looks super glowing. They said it will be better if I don't put make up on top of my face, so my skin will absorb the serum really well. And of course, not to exposed to sun light. I did leave it well until the following day.

Here's the before after :

It's now a week after treatment, and my skin looks amazing. People have commented how well I look even without any make up. It seems to improve each and every day. Thanks Youth and Beauty Clinic and Dr. Gaby for the treatment, as well Indonesian Female Blogger for the opportunity. See you on my next posts!
