I've been so busy recently rushing from place to place. Collating and packing customers orders etc. I hope everything had been going extremely well for you. Pardon me for the lack of updates as I am trying to juggle with everything coming at once. Don't you think that time is really not enough?


This very familiar signboard which represents so many things and make me a better me. 

Just before Deepavali, I've done my 3rd session of Lutronic Pico Lazer with Sozo Aesthetics Clinc, by Dr Justin. Since the first day I've set my foot in Sozo Aesthetics and made them my dedicated facial place, my face had been fully handled by Dr Justin, and I have very high hopes oh him whenever I need a quick facial fix or an aesthetic treatment, because I know I can totally count on his experience.

So far, I have nothing but praises for this lovely place and group of wonderful people. They have lived up to my expectation and changing facial demands. I have also garnered so many praises from the people around me whom had witness the changes to my face. I've been beaming whenever they asked "where have those freckles gone to...?".


This is very random but...I always look out for this bear whenever I have to wait for Dr Justin. It's kind of entertaining looking at it and in case you didn't know, I love soft toys in the form of bears. :)

With Dr Justin, I no longer have to worry about my facial eczema issues and seriously dehydrated face as he always take extra care when handling my face. My freckles and pigmentation had also seen major improvements after the 2nd and 3rd session of my Lutronic Pico Lazer session. You may have read my previous blog post and realised that I did not see significant improvement after the first session, because it was done on a very low setting where he slowly let me get use to the settings of the treatment. It was a very speedy session.

With the 2nd and 3rd sessions done, the settings were made stronger and more intensive so that the surface pigmentation and freckles will break down further. You can actually request not to remove your freckles totally if you still do love them. For me, I want them 100% gone.

Do also remember that whenever a stronger setting is used, your skin will turn darker within the next few hours and days, so it is not advised to schedule a Lutronic Pico Lazer session when you have up-coming events or big events which require you to meet people, or....you'll end up having to wear a face mask during your meet-up. This also means that the intensity you feel when the lazer touches your face is stronger so you may feel a slight pricking sensation.

For me, thoughtful Dr Justin and his team will always have the numbing and after care cream ready.

Can you see the dramatic changes to my face? Even with my existing eczema conditions, Dr Justin and team took care of my face so well that it is so easy to take care of it now.

Day 0:
Right after the treatment my spots turned darker. A protection cream and skin soothing cream was applied on my face straight after the treatment. I was also given the Beta cream to apply for the next 2 days. I took special care of my face by avoiding outdoor activities as much as I could although I had to head back to work during Deepavali the next day. I was also advised not to use any skin peeling products.

Day 3:
I have completely stopped the Beta cream by now, the darker spots on my skin had started to peel off although not as drastic as the times when I was experiencing peeling from my skin dryness due to eczema flares.

Day 6: 
The peeling ended and my skin is now much clearer although you can still see some dark patches on my nose areas. Those are where the darkest spot resides.

By Day 10 - 2 weeks++
Amazing results. Other than an occasional acne on the side of my face or chin, the spots are so much lighter. I am convinced that by Christmas, all these spots would be almost cleared off completely.

The long awaited day had finally arrived! Can you imagine my excitement when Dr Justin of Sozo Aesthetic Clinic finally felt that my face was ready for the Pico Laser treatment? He had been maintaining my face for several months now in preparation of my "big day", with the various type of facial offerings in his aesthetic clinic. You can read about them in my previous entries. His aesthetic clinic offers facials which are quick and safe, making it suitable for people who lead a busy lifestyle.

He also made me felt assured when I visit the clinic as he would access my face before we begin any new treatments. This is why I choose to stick with him despite having many other choices. We always have a consultation prior to having any facial or treatment and he keeps in mind of my skin condition.

It had been my wish all these while to remove these stubborn freckles and pigmentation on my face, but Dr Justin wanted to find out how my face would react to various treatments and maintain them properly before we jumped straight into the treatment. After all, I have a very sensitive skin unlike others. Speaking of which, I am really thankful to Dr Justin and team for doing a good job since day 1. My skin now felt better and is in a stable condition ever since I've decided to stick with Sozo Aesthetics Clinic for all my facial and aesthetic needs.

According to Dr Justin, Pico Laser is much more effective than other traditional types of laser and it generates lesser heat per shot. Despite that, it is still powerful enough to shatter my skin's pigmentation into smaller fragments which are then removed by the body's immune system. This process may take days, therefore many often question the effectiveness of laser treatments.

This treatment is effective in the removal of Melasma, Freckles, Solar Lentigo, Hori's Nevus and other issues such as post inflammatory Hyperpigmentation.



Looking at my photo you probably know why I need to do Pico Laser. The pigmentation are concentrated on my nose and cheeks areas and I don't agree that they look cute at all. These are mostly genetic and some are formed due to prolong sun exposure and lack of application of sunblock. I only started using sunblock several years back.

This procedure was amazingly fast and safe. It took Dr Justin only about 10 minutes or so, to complete it, after my face was cleansed and a pair of safety goggles was placed on my eyes. The shining of the laser onto my skin had a tiny bit of prickly feeling. Other than that, there was no burning sensation, heat or pain, partly because Dr Justin had adjusted the settings to a mild one since it was my first time trying out Pico Laser. He will be increasing the setting over the next few sessions. The nurse then assist to apply some skin calming cream and sunblock for me and we are done. Dr Justin also passed me a serum sample for my pimple. Thank you for being so thoughtful.



The Pico Laser treatment is unlike a facial where you would see instant result, as the pigmentation takes time to break down and be removed by your body. Some people may also witness an immediate pinkish glow on their face like a blush.

Such a procedure will also require you more than 1 session, so be mentally and financially prepared for at least 4-6 sessions to be completely cleared of your pigmentation. Each of these pico laser sessions will cost you from $180 onwards. Depending on your skin's issue, you may require more or lesser sessions.

Results should be quite permanent depending on the severity of your skin issues and how you maintain your skin with proper skincare and a proper sunblock. I am however, unable to review at this moment because its only my first session and its way too early to judge.

I am happy with my first session of Pico Laser, although I have not witness much changes to my pigmentation issues. My skin seems clearer and brighter thou. The photo above was taken 1 week post the Pico Laser treatment but don't go staring into my face now. You are however, encouraged to follow my IG for latest updates and snippets of my life.
