Anti-aging Magic Fibers Flawless Introduces Revolutionary No Cuts, All Glory Treatment —Acculift This summer, Flawless lets you say no to facelifts by offering a revolutionary alternative that provides similar lifting, firming and contouring effects without surgery.

Acculift is the latest addition to Flawless’ esteemed line of medically-sound aesthetic treatments. It uses absorbable fibers to lift and tighten skin and stimulate collagen formation, resulting in smoother and youngerlooking skin that’s noticeably firm and contoured.

The procedure is done by a Flawless doctor using the revolutionary Parallel Vector technique, a sophisticated method of carefully inserting fibers into various layers of

the skin. The best thing about Acculift is its ability to deliver instantly noticeable results with minimal discomfort and downtime—results that not only improve through time, but are natural-looking as well.

In addition to its dramatic rejuvenating effects, Acculift can also be used to improve the shape of the nose.

By strategically inserting fibers into one’s nose, patients can add height to the bridges of their nose and narrow down the nasal width while also elevating and straightening the nasal tip.

Don’t just take our word for it. Check out the before and after photos below.

Among the many conveniences that modern medicine offer, are products and treatments that help us stay young and fresh-looking amongst the most celebrated today.

Collagen soaps and creams

Known as the “glue” that holds the body together, collagen composes 25% of the total proteins in the human body and, with the help of keratin, adds strength and resilience to the skin. As we age, the naturally occurring collagen begins to degrade, leading to the one thing we all desperately try to avoid—wrinkles. As any aesthetic professional would say, the best way to support your skin’s collagen deposit is through topical application (a.k.a. using soaps or creams) and not through ingestion, as this substance, like every other protein, breaks down into amino acids when these enter the body.

Growth Factors The anti-aging fad of 2013, growth factors, were first discovered and introduced to the public as a healing technology. Later, experts discovered that these “driving force” behind stem cells can also provide anti-aging effects by providing nourishment and protection to skin cells and restoring their health. Flawless offers two kinds of services that make use of this technology: the Cell Booster Infusion Facial, which uses a gel-type mask infused with apple growth factors; and Fractional Needling Therapy, an advanced treatment that addresses six beauty concerns (hair loss, acne, dark marks, scars, stretchmarks and wrinkles) by creating microchannels in the skin to Flawless Cell Booster Line, available at all promote healing.

Antioxidants Antioxidants like Glutathione, Vitamin C and Alpha Lipoic acid work by combating free radicals that destroy the cells in our body. These work best when combined into cocktails and injected through the bloodstream. Simply put, these antioxidants preserve cells by slowing down the aging process.

Imagine what a regular dose of a powerful cocktail of antioxidants can do for the body! Dubbed as the ultimate antioxidant, Flawless’ Beauty Drip is one of the best rejuvenating cocktails available today.

It does not only better your looks, but also improves your health’s overall state as well.

Botox Botulinum Toxin, more popularly known as Botox, is a prescription medicine injected into muscles to smoothen out fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles. This treatment is recommended for people who want to experience dramatic results with little to no downtime.

Acculift Flawless Acculift is a new technology that uses absorbable fibers to lift and contour certain areas of the face like the eyebrows, cheeks, crow’s feet, chin, jawlines and jowls. It can also be used to raise the height of the nose bridge and tighten other areas of the body. The great thing about this technology is it provides dramatic natural-looking results with minimal downtime and discomfort. It’s fast, safe and, when done by highly-trained medical aesthetic experts, can greatly improve the looks of anyone.

Notwithstanding that, the effects also last for up to two years and continuously improve months after the initial procedure?

Real concerns from real people are answered by one of Flawless’ most esteemed medical aesthetic professionals, Dr. Evelyn San Luis.

Q:

A:

I’m feeling hopeless about my stretch marks since I gave birth to my three kids. Do I have the chance to feel confident again with my body?

What can I do to get rid of my stretch marks?

– Sheryl

Good news, Sheryl! Flawless offers a revolutionary and experience-based solution to stretch marks—Fractional Needling Therapy (FNT), a procedure that uses human growth factors to stimulate the production of new skin cells.

People who’ve tried this treatment are very happy with the improvements on their skin. You can visit your nearest Flawless clinic for a free consultation.

Q: A:

How can I get rid of my bacne (back acne) and what are the ways to prevent it?

– Karen

Back acne or “bacne” results from clogged pores in the back area due mainly to sweat, oils, and/ or shampoo or soap residues, eventually growing into bacteria. The best way to treat it is to target the acne first, then have regular back cleaning sessions. It’s basically just like getting a facial treatment for your back. The therapist cleans and steams your back to open your pores, removes all active pimples and blackheads or whiteheads, then tones and moisturizes it.

Flawless offers this service for just Php 750 per session. For home care, be sure to thoroughly cleanse your back every day after soaping. It is also recommended that you use a soft, clean sponge to scrub your back.

Q: A: Q: A:

How can I get rid of my large pores? It’s really bothering me and I feel so dyahe talking to other people because of it!

– Jezza For people, with pronounced pores, I suggest using a pore-minimizing toner or cream.

Look for one with ingredients like Vitamin A, tretinoin, retinoic or glycolic acid as these are the most effective when it comes to firming and tightening skin. You can also try our Fractional Needling Therapy using a clearing serum, or one of our Mesoestetic Peels.

My skin was never prone to acne, but when I started using contraceptive pills, pimples have been popping out one after the other. I’ve become so confused with what product to use, and I usually just hide my pimples under foundation and concealer. Now, I’m currently suffering from acne scars and dark spots on my face.

What should I do?

– Rea I would suggest checking with your OB/GYN. From your story, it seems that the contraceptive pills have caused some imbalance in your hormones. For the meantime, drop by a Flawless clinic and ask our doctors about Easy Peel, an advanced exfoliating treatment that does wonders for acne, or Fractional Needling Therapy (FNT) for those hard-to-get acne scars.

Dr. Evelyn San Luis is one of Flawless’ foremost resident MDs.

This is why, this summer, your favorite skincare center is introducing a new service that promises not just to improve your looks, but boost your overall health as well—the Flawless Beauty Drip: The Ultimate Antioxidant.

What bloggers have been saying about Flawless’ Beauty Drip: Expect to feel energized immediately after each treatment! It may be a bit costly but I swear, the experience is all worth it! I won’t mind investing for a couple more treatments for as long as I’m assured of getting the proper nutrients which my body needs!

Flawless Beauty Drip marks another milestone for the brand as the first widely-available all-in-one intravenous mix in the country. Each 200 cc bottle contains high doses of anti-free radical vitamins, including vitamin C, B complex and Glutathione. These nutrients are known for helping the body recover from all sorts of damages by boosting the health of cells.

The treatment lasts for about 45 minutes and promises to deliver dramatic results when done regularly. Effects include a lighter and more radiant skin, stronger immune system, better circulation and sleep, and improved mental functions.

“In this regard, we are the first one to come up with an all-in-one mix that not only improves people’s health but their physical appearance as well.”

One immediate effect I noticed after the procedure is that I didn’t sneeze nor blow my nose. Just like that, my colds magically disappeared. That truly amazed me and I’m so thankful I tried Flawless Beauty Drip!

With Beauty Drip, I noticed I had a better sleep that night. With continued session, Beauty Drip promises to give a lighter and more radiant skin, stronger immune system, better circulation, and improved mental functions.

The best thing about the treatment?

I felt well-rested and didn’t experience lingering red marks which usually stays on my face 2-3 days after a facial.

It was an investment for Php7,000 a bottle but the results? Priceless.
