Micro Fractional Laser Treatment - The Saviour to my Skin!


Since my schooling days, I have always been facing skin problems. The usual breakouts and oily skin when you are in your teens. And now, I do make an effort to put on mask every alternate nights just to keep my skin hydrated. Actually I have visited many good doctors to get my skin treated and it did helped but as we aged, more problems seems to surface.

In preparation for the Mrs Asia International 2016 this coming June, I need to get my skin prepared and hopes to achieve a radiant and healthier looking skin!

Was sharing with Dr Shens on my concerns of the pores and the residual acne scars left behind and guess what? He actually have a solution for me!

He recommended the Micro Fractional Laser Treatment which is the choice to treat acne scars, signs of aging, uneven pigmentation and ah-ha, new collagen production for up to 6 months with following treatment. On my god! The saviour to my trouble skin.


So what's exactly is Fractional CO2 laser?

Fractional CO2 uses small columns of fractionated energy to ablate areas of damage. Tiny wounds are made the surroundings healthy skin helps with healing, making new collagen and elastin. Improvement in wrinkles, discolouration and scarring by stimulating collagen production as well as skin tightening are some of the promises that Fractional CO2 laser makes.

Fractional CO2 resurfacing can erase years and dramatically improve the appearance of scars, wrinkles and pigment, but it is not a lunchtime procedure. Downtime can be anywhere from several days to up to 2-weeks. During the healing process, the new skin is red and very dry at first, then pink then heals back to normal


The Cost : S$800.00 before GST


Here's the process;

First, numbing cream was applied onto my face area and need to leave it for 20 minutes before the treatment commenced.



The in-between wait, let's take a selfie!


And so, the process was done really fast. I have Dr Shens next to me with the laser and another nurse holding a tube producing a gush of cold air blowing on the treatment area. It was comfortable during the treatment except for some areas where your skin is thinner, it felt like a sting.

Immediately after the treatment


So excited to see the results!
Dr Shens advised to apply plenty and plenty of moisturizer and sun screen for the first 6 days to keep the skin hydrated.


The before


Day 1



Day 2


Day 3 - The peeling starts


Day 4 - Almost recovered



The Post Treatment
During the first two days, I can feel the tightness on the cheek area and slight pain whenever I laugh, very similar like sunburn. And I think I am quite a champion, went back to work on Day 3 but of course, with a mask on and far far away from the sunlight.
Well, I looked really terrible the first 3 days, looks like I have fell onto a bbq pit! Ha but really excited to see and feel the end results. After all, all this skin problems was accumulated for so many years, I do not mind bearing this look for the first 3 days.


Day 5 - OMG, the glow!



Day 8 - With minimal makeup


The Results
You will see some immediate results after 6 days and I was told that your skin will take up to 3-14 days to heal. As the color returns to normal, you will see fewer lines, less blotchiness, and more glow!

Again, thank you Dr Shens and his team for taking care of me!

Does anyone feels the same as me? Feeling so naked without nail polish, ha

Being a full time housewife after work and on weekends, I am always washing this and that hence my nails has since become so weak that a nail polish needs to be applied to stop the nails from breaking. But of course, I will leave it naked once a while for some fresh air but definitely no longer than a week.

Hajime Tonkatsu & Ramen Experience


Visit to Hajime Tonkatsen & Ramen!
So proud of my dear friend, whom I watched him from an ah boy to now, a successful entrepreneur

Watching all these good friends of mine, stepping into a new chapter of their life is the most awesome and rewarding thing that could happen.
Well, that also means that I am getting older, OMG. So grateful to have all of them in my life.

Emotions aside, the food was really good. This is my 2nd visit and will definitely be back.
The Premium Pork Loin, priced at S$19.90 and Tonkatsu Ramen priced at S$#14.90 is a must-try!




About Hajime
The passion for Japanese cuisine led Chef Tan-San to start Hajime in 2016. Hajime is the Japanese word for "beginning" (初め) and the short form for “Hajimemashite”, which means “Nice to meet you”. It represents our philosophy of going back to food’s beginning and our warm welcome to all patrons.
Bringing over 25 years of experience to the kitchen, Chef Tan-San’s journey began after a stint in Japan, where he mastered the art of Tonkatsu and returned in 1993 to helm the kitchen of Tonkichi - making him the first Tonkatsu chef in Singapore.

In 2004, he took on the challenge of starting up Tampopo which has since become a household name for authentic Japanese cuisine in Singapore. With a dedication to perfection and serving quality food to his customers, Chef Tan-San is famed for various creations such as Kurobuta Pork Tonkatsu and Tonkatsu Ramen.

Check out the suave chef, Chef Tan-San, the first Tonkatsu Chef in Singapore!
