I wanna grow old. I really, really do. Aging is, after all, a privilege. What I don't like are the things comes with aging.
But you can't have one without the other, so you make do. You try to stop the effects of aging in its tracks even for a short while. And I really try to make an effort.
Is it vanity to care about your appearance. It's not by the mere definition of the word itself, but at some level, yes, and that's okay. I have so many conflicting emotions, I swear. But my point is, you look good, you feel good. No sorries required.
I wanna freshen up my look every now and again. Not the drastic type of freshening up. I'm not applying for a role in Tim Burton's movie. Minimizing my obscene pores, refining some lines, alleviating dry skin - things like that.
So when I was given the opportunity to try Strip White by Strip, I said YES. It's a non-invasive rejuvenation that addresses most of my skin problems. It also removes fine hairs at the same time and promises to give you a brighter skin (a shade lighter) after just one go!
Well, that's what Strip claims. I'm a natural-born cynic, so. De omnibus dubitandum.
I was hopeful that Strip would deliver on its promise, though.
Strip SM Megamal Fashion Hall's entrance
One of the friendly staff just changed the towels and sanitized the room. They're big on hygiene here. Whether you sat on the bed or not, they will change the towels as soon as another client comes in.
Okay, so I wasn't allowed to take photos during the procedure because they said the machine {above} might affect my phone or something like that. The one below is the tip of the machine, by the way. That's where the energy of the laser light emits from.
This was my experience:
My face was prepped first. My therapist made sure that my entire face was clean - free from creams or any other solutions.
She then placed the protective laser goggles over my eyes.
She did a couple of "test shots" first. Was it painful? Not really. There are some parts that are more sensitive than others. For me, it was my upper lip. But still, it wasn't painful. The feeling is similar to when you get a light electric shock by touching another static-prone person.
The whole procedure is something like this. I actually got hungry during the procedure because the smell was like makimono being torched.
Outcome:
LOVE IT! I really saw the change immediately after, and I mean immediately after. The first noticeable effect is brightening of the skin. My son even commented on my skin when I got home? He's like, "What did you do to your face? It's whiter."
I didn't see the rest of the supposed outcome, but I think you get that from multiple sessions. Anyway, I'm happy with the immediate effect of Strip White.
I can confidently say that it's not a hoax.
They have facescreens to protect your newly refreshed face.
If you're curious to know more about Strip White, here are some of the facts that I got from Strip:
3 major functions of the
machine:
1.
Revitalization – Improves vascular activity by feeding oxygen to tissues and
stimulates collagen regeneration thus revitalizes the skin.
2.
Whitening - Suppresses/weakens melanin formation to lighten brown spot, uneven
skin tone and pigmentation
3.
Firming and Anti-Aging Effect - Reduces appearance of fine lines and pores and
increases collagen production so skin is pushed upward making skin look firmer
and younger.
Why should I go for a STRIP
WHITE?
This treatment is designed to treat the face and other problematic
skins found in the most delicate and intimate (but often most neglected!) body
parts.
Is
every body part a candidate for the service?
Aside
from the face, Strip White was designed to treat the delicate but most often
neglected areas of the skin such as but not limited to Underarm, Kneecap, Elbow,
Buttocks, Neck, Stomach, Bikini, Inner Thighs and Brazilian, Strip has crafted
specific techniques to deliver the best-desired result.
How
often do I have to do the treatment to achieve desired results?
Like
any non-invasive skin procedure, it is necessary to go for 1 session every 4
weeks for underarms and 1 session every 2-4 weeks for face and other body parts.
You may achieve a shade lighter per
session however, results may vary depending on individual skin type.
Can
we go for a Strip White right after our waxing or Laser / IPL hair removal
treatment?
It
is best to allow two weeks interval from your hair removal session to ensure
that the skin is fully healed as the hair removal session gives gradual doses
of heat on the skin to target the roots.
Is
the treatment safe?
Yes.
It is safe for all skin types, except for those with specific health or skin conditions.
Our Strip specialists are well equipped to handle the delicate treatments and
recommend for all skin conditions.

Is
it effective at 3 sessions or is 6 sessions necessary?
Client
will be able to see result after 3 sessions and/or 6 sessions but like any
other skin treatment it is necessary to maintain it at 4 weeks interval for the
underarms and 2-4 weeks interval for face and other areas to prevent recurrence
of skin problem and stabilize the result.
