My Reading Room

Mirage Aesthetic’s Pure Hyaluronic Face Treatment ($380 for 70min) uses hyaluronic acid – a molecule that occurs naturally in skin, and can hold 1,000 times its own weight in water – to firm and hydrate skin, and boost the effects of a micro needle therapy system.

The treatment begins with you inhaling essential oils meant to calm the senses while your skin is cleansed and exfoliated. Then numbing cream (if required) and a hyaluronic acid serum are applied before the aesthetician goes over skin with a roller that has very fine, short needles.

This is said to help the hyaluronic acid be absorbed more deeply. Besides being intensely moisturising, the treatment is also meant to boost elasticity, improve the appearance of wrinkles, and tighten skin.

Another award-winning facial – Readers’ Choice for Best Brightening Facial – is the BB Covered-Perfect Touch Solution ($680 for 90min). It uses the micro-needle therapy system together with a multiple growth factor serum to help keep away the signs of ageing, and then a BB cream that will have your complexion looking freshly made up and flawless all the time. It is also minimises the look of pores and wrinkles, reduces inflammation, and brightens. Results are said to last up to four months.
