The Quest For Feminine Flawlessness

On Monday, I had the privilege of reviewing Clear SK's newest outlet in Tampines.

Unlike most aesthetic clinics in Singapore which are run by "technicians" or "beauty therapists"... treatments at Clear SK are carried out by Doctors.
The Owner and Medical Director of ClearSK™ Aesthetic Centres, 40-year-old Dr. Shiau Ee Leng graduated from the National University of Singapore’s Medical faculty in 1993. She is a senior family physician trained by the College of Family Physicians. Dr. Shiau is a certified Laser Physician and performs a full range of aesthetic procedures such as laser, botox, chemical peelers, fillers, Intense Pulse Light (IPL) medical procedures and non-surgical facelifts. She leads a team of competent lady doctors.

The reassuring thing about ClearSk is that it is equipped and staffed like a medical facility, but the decor and soothing ambiance gives it a luxurious spa atmosphere.
Staff at the centre are friendly, well-informed and able to give professional advice about the various services available.
The list of services they had available was extensive and tempting. I chose to undergo Super Hair Removal (SHR) on my forearms. Since that's an area that I never can be bothered to shave or wax, and yet there is visible hair there. SHR technology is still new (developed in the US a couple of years ago) compared to IPL, which has been around for 20 years. I don't know of any other centre here in Singapore that has this technology yet.
Normally, people use IPL to remove hair permanently, however, it doesn't work if you have fair Caucasian skin or very dark skin. Furthermore, Dr Shiau likened IPL to a "Bomb" which shoots an intense pulse onto one area. That's why, when not administered by a medical professional, it can burn some people. At best, it will feel like many pricking needles! SHR, is more like a tiny machine gun which shoots tiny pulses but over a greater frequency. The result? The same hairlessness! Yet with no pain, no heat or discomfort.

And on top of that... SHR rejuvenates the skin and causes it to lighten. I was just amazed at how soft my arms were immediately after treatment. And no more hair!!! I have sensitive skin... but this treatment did not have any side effects at all. No rash, no tightness or pain. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants permanent hair removal.

Their treatments are available to both Men and Women. Clear SK Aesthetic has 4 centres in the heartlands (Toa Payoh, Novena, Tampines and Orchard Central) which means they bring the same aesthetic treatments (such as slimming, botox and IPL) much closer to you and at lower prices.
