My Reading Room

With our busy lifestyles, it can be hard to find time to care for our skin. Over time, issues such as wrinkles, dullness, roughness, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, melasma, hyperpigmentation and skin laxity may arise.

VIDASKIN’s Skin Perfection Treatment is said to tackle the mentioned skin woes, brighten the complexion, as well as minimise the look of signs of ageing and sun damage. It takes only an hour and has minimal to no downtime, making it the perfect lunchtime treatment.

At the heart of it is the LaseMD Laser Cosmeceutical Delivery System (CDS). Developed in South Korea, it utilises technology and skincare tailored to your skin’s needs. First, a fractional laser is used to improve skin tone and texture, and to create temporary microchannels that reach deep into the dermis, enabling the skincare used to penetrate deeply for maximum efficacy. Expect to feel some warmth and a slight prickly sensation.

An ampoule – in the form of a dual-chamber bottle that holds powdered active ingredients (sans colourants, preservatives and fragrances) and a carrier liquid – that addresses your specific skin concern(s) is then applied. Ampoules available include:

• VC Ampoule (Ascorbic Acid); said to brighten skin, stimulate collagen production, rejuvenate the look of photoaged or damaged skin, regulate sebum production and treat acne-prone skin.

• VA Ampoule (Retinol); improves the look and feel of ageing skin, minimises the appearance fine lines and large pores, and encourages the development of healthy epidermal cells.

• TA Ampoule (Tranexamic Acid); brightens the complexion, and reduces the look of melasma and other pigmentary disorders.

• RS Ampoule (Resveratrol); has prime-grade (95 per cent purity) resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that counters UV-related photoageing, promotes overall skin health and combats oxidative stress.

Just before use, the ampoule is inserted into a specialised incubator that thoroughly mixes the actives and carrier, so you get a “freshly brewed” concoction with nanosized molecules that penetrate deep into the skin.

A cooling bio-cellulose mask follows, after which a red LED light is administered to aid skin rejuvenation.

Your skin may be pinkish posttreatment, but it should subside within a few hours. Take the ampoule home for aftercare; use it twice daily for a week, after cleansing and toning, and before a moisturiser.

For best results, a series of six treatments done at two-week intervals is recommended.
