Hello!
I'm going to share my first experience with MyClinic. My friend suggested me to go here for my freckles and scar cause he said he has a friend who have really bad skin, he went there and boom! his face is better than ever. So, I decided to go here after months of thinking if it is worth it or not. I heard the treatment is cheap and worth it. So I set an appointment for consultation on 31st October 2020.
And so the doctor scan my skin condition (with his eyes of course, no specific tools or machine) and he said, yes I do have freckles and pigmentation other than big pores and acne scars T.T so he suggested me to do the PicoSure laser which is their latest technology - if I'm not mistaken early of the year they started to have this, not very sure though. So I expected it was cheap (like what my friend said - he didn't mention which treatment) but.........I was a bit shocked because it's not as cheap as I thought. PicoSure itself for trial costs RM 2,200 gulp. Then the doctor suggested for me to take the package which consist of 2 PicoSure session and 2 silk peel session which costs RM3,499. It's still expensive from my opinion who have never visited any dermatologist. lol.
So I manage to keep some savings. unintentionally. Surprisingly by 7th December I decided to proceed with the treatment. So I texted them and set appointment on morning of 12th December 2020. Just to let you know in advance, if you were to do PicoSure, there is no downtime - as in, it doesn't hurt at all the next day BUT you must stay indoor about 5-7 days. That's the best thing that you can do so that it can heal better. You can still go out but as usual, must apply sunblock. The reason why I have all these freckles and pigmentation was because I had it since I was very young - I can't remember when probably during high school? I guess my skin loves the sun so much that it absorbs UV better than my other siblings. They have very less freckles that its not obvious even though they didn't apply sunblock - I think so.
Anyway, here comes the day. Once confirmed that I'm buying the 4 sessions package, they bring me to a room where they cleanse my face using their product. It smells good even though there is no fragrance. Smells like medicine and its very smooth on my skin. I love it. Next they bring me upstairs to proceed with silk peel facial. The first step is the extraction - this hurts the most. I feel like giving up at this moment. Like seriously this is the most painful one out of the others. Next one, they infuse serum.This is comforting and it helps with the pain from extraction just now. I feel alive again.
After that, they're doing the shoulder massage. I think this depends on the person who massage you but for me it's quite painful. Maybe my shoulders are too tense from working in front of computer and its been so long since I had my last massage session. I could say, this is not a relaxing one. I'm suffering from this one too T.T beauty is pain, they said. Next one,they put on facial mask - it smells like green tea and a very thick other than it smells sooo good and relaxing. I can't see since they need to cover my eyes. Then they let it dry for about 15 minutes and leave me alone in the room. I remember I had a facial session with my bestfriend for her wedding last few years. She fall asleep so easily - maybe she's tired but I can't sleep at all even though I wanted too. It's the same for this time, I wasted 15 minutes doing nothing and just thinking of rubbish things. lol. After 15 minutes, they peel off the mask and ask me to prepare to go downstair again for PicoSure laser next.
Firstly, they put the numb cream and leave me in the room again for about 15 minutes or so. But this time I can hold and look at my phone so I don't have to waste my time thinking of nothing. After 15 minutes, they come back and clean my face a bit. I can barely feel that they touch my face - yeah that's what the numb cream do to you obviously. Next we switch room again, to next door for the laser. The doctor came to operate on the laser machine. It's quite a big machine. After few shots, the doctor seems to have trouble with the machine and I think I waited longer than I had the laser shots. Aigoo. But anyway that's for the best. Firstly, the doctor laser on the obvious freckles/pigmentation. Next round he did my whole face.
While they were doing the laser, I can smell the burning a bit and I can actually feel the laser shot - it didn't hurt that much just feel like a light pinch on your skin. But I can feel my skin is burning a bit. During the laser, another staff is holding a tube with the cold wind facing my face so it helps with the burning. But trust me, this laser shot is nothing compare to the extraction just now. So you don't have to be scare for doing laser on your face. I think this last for about 15 minutes. After the laser is done, we move to another room again to soothe the burning feeling. They put on the cooling mask. I can barely feel that is cold but they put on top of my closed eyes (cover with something like cotton pad) and it stings. I think because it's actually too cold that my eyes stings a bit. But my other face area doesn't really feel the cooling - because of the numb cream I guess.
So they left me again in the room all alone for another 15 minutes. Thinking of nothing again. Next, they peel off the mask, put some moisturiser and it's done! That's all for the treatments. After they put on the moisturiser, my face doesn't seems too red, just a bit and it's still numb. But after one hour it's getting red and it feels swollen. Basically it doesn't feel hurt. Just swollen and burning a bit. After the treatment I went to Tesco to buy some groceries, so I sweat a bit and making my face more red. I can feel my skin back after about 1-2 hours post treatment. But after taking shower, the burning is getting less and it feels better.
The next day I can say I have my face back. It's not red neither swollen. Just the freckles and pigmentation that I have, it's getting darker but slowly and surely will fade away. We'll see how it goes. I didn't take any photo in the clinic at all. So, here goes my boring post.
To simplify :
I bought promo package that costs RM3499 which consists of :
- 2 sessions of PicoSure Laser
- 2 sessions of Silk Peel Facial
Originally, Picosure itself cost RM2200 per session and Silk Peel Facial is RM480, so I managed to save RM1861...what a bargain!
Soon, I will share the result and before and after photos maybe after a week. See ya!
