I've been planning since late last year to do something about my break-outs but my experience from that Pink facial center is still fresh and gave me phobia to try anything new especially that I have a wedding to attend to. Means I'm back to my regular routine, Nivea micellar facial foam, toner and light moisturizer, but man, I break out a lot! I had to change my BB cream and powder twice this quarter but still nothing major major change. Maybe time for another facial eh? But many times I had to postpone my facial plans because I had to travel often on the first quarter, and the late night sleep, stress is giving me precious pimps.
So after I decided I have enough of this, it's time to face them professionally. I went to Flawless clinic in Megamall to try their facial. The lady gave me their list and I'm confused which one to try with all the facials I want done on my face- but the lady judging on my condition suggested the Acne control advanced with Rejuvelite to eliminate acne and speed up the healing process to reduce redness and inflammation, next is Acnelan treatment for the red ones or active ones used as in house treatment for controlling acne and prevent pimples. It works as skin renewal system to provide permanent solution to acne problems.
Ok I'm on it, it's now or never. I stepped inside, the specialist assisted me to put my stuff under the bed and gave me the key. Great. Then my balik-beauty regime is 3 part treatment starting with cleansing:

Ok I'm on it, it's now or never. I stepped inside, the specialist assisted me to put my stuff under the bed and gave me the key. Great. Then my balik-beauty regime is 3 part treatment starting with cleansing:
- Initial cleansing using a gentle facial foam to clean and massage my face then wipe with moistened pads.
- Next she puts me some eye cream and eye pads. Nap time it is.
- Then there's facial steaming for 15 minutes. While on steam, my hands were wrapped with hot towel and was later on massage. How relaxing.
- Then some light cream massaged to calm the pricked area
- Next is my favorite part- the oxygenating mask. Thick and icy cold cream applied to your face to revive dull and tired skin. The cream solidifies and sits on your face , eyes and also lips for about 15mins, don't be surprised there's also some shoulder massage
After 15 mins, she removed the mask and puts me eye pad, and ear pads. Second part will be the Acnelan treatment. I did not wait too long because Doc arrived na and started with the procedure, she asked me which session I'm on? and I told her my first. She gave a quick introduction that there will some stinging sensation for less than 3 mins, and it will be over. Ok Doc lets do it.
- She applied the treatment using a brush on my face, and immediately I felt the painful stinging sensation I winced tbh.
- She sprayed some neutralizer fast, I supposed you had to let the bubbles go off as she was instructing the facialist, once the bubbles were gone she wiped it off with some pads, and the stinging was immediately gone.
The facialist was very nice and was asking me if I'm feeling a lot better, which I am now. Five minutes after we move to our next and final part which is the Rejuvelite. From the website: Rejuvelite Mask for 10 good minutes is powered by LED technology which activates collagen production and boosts skin rejuvenation. The treatment works by allowing the skin to absorb the light for cellular activity to increase natural healing and regeneration. She covered my eyes and then the positioned the LED light to cover my entire face.
And finally, that was it! The specialist reminded me to wash my face next day, not to use any moisturizer or make up next day, but use generous amount of SPF instead. She also suggested to get SAS soap for acne prevention, and the SPF gel for everyday use. Treatment cost:
- Acne control advanced with Rejuvelite Php1,800
- Acnelan Php 3000
- SAS Soap Php 150
- SPF Gel Php 330
SAS Soap and SPF Gel
Day 1 after the Acnelan Treatment, skin feels tight and dry overall ok.
I put SPF Gel and leave it for now.
Day 2, the peeling shows slightly a bit, so the best is not to touch it, and a dose of SPF SPF!
Day 3 and the most unattractive state is on the 3rd-4th day . The face peels like a lot!
Also pointless to put any make up, so the best is again SPF and mask to cover the face. The area where pricking was done is also dry and also gone this time.
6th day and the peeling is almost gone but small peeling at the nose area, but not too obvious actually! Also skin looks fresh after the peeling, I could now use bb cream with light coverage and the scars are not obvious!
In conclusion, I am very happy and satisfied with my Acnelan treatment, I am scheduled for my 2nd treatment. The anti-acne facial needs to be maintained at least once a month of course together with the mild soap, SPF and accdg. to my research I have to go through at least 3 Acnelan sessions to get the optimum results. Well, I only wish I knew Acnelan years back, maybe that saved me from all my pimps dilemma!
2 weeks after the Acnelan treatment, and face never looked better,
I could almost cry! hahaha. Thank you Flawless. :)
Happiness & love,
