I Tried a Facial That Reversed My DNA

Skin ageing is inevitable. Our skin loses collagen, moisture, volume and elasticity resulting in saggy, dry, dull and thinner, fragile skin. The body's healing and regeneration ability also slow down. Fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores slowly turn into our best friends when we hit the 30s.

To add on, environmental pollution, harmful UV sun exposure, poor lifestyle habits such as smoking, late nights, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, stress, accelerate the damage of the skin's DNA. The damaged DNA retards the repair rate of the skin causing the skin to age. We should start anti-ageing treatments earlier before the first sign of ageing appears. However, delaying the ageing progress is no longer impossible with today's aesthetic advancement.

Since PDRN helps in skin regeneration, it is great to use after any laser treatment to speed up the healing process and to minimise downtime of the lasers.

This rejuvenating treatment kicked off with a relaxing and deep cleansing of the skin by removing makeup on the face thoroughly. The therapist then applied numbing cream to my face and left it about 2-3 minutes. In order to ensure better penetration of PDRN, Chái Gold Flakes scrub was used to remove dead skin, oil and debris that were clogging my pores and also causing the overcast of dullness on my skin. 😩

After prepping my skin to absorb all the goodness, the therapist finally applied PDRN onto my face with a one-time use dermaroller. As PDRN works better into the skin, SW1 only uses a brand new dermaroller with micro needling for each patient due to hygiene purpose!

Is the treatment painful? I will be lying if I said that it is pain-free! The pain is only intense on the more sensitive parts such as the tip of my forehead and the area above my lip. However, the great thing is that pain lasts for only about 0.1 seconds when it rolled over the particular area. 😂So the treatment is not such an ordeal at all!! I got used to it after 1-2 minutes into the rolling. If extraction is a 7/10 pain level then this is probably only 1/10.

The remaining PDRN was infused and delivered to the deeper dermis level via sonophoresis to further promote further skin lifting and firming. The skin-rejuvenating PDRN cellular facial doesn't stop here. Using SW1 White Plasma and Vitamin C Powder, these two skin-brighteners put back the sparkle and glow on my tired dull skin.

A generous amount of 24K Gold Mask was left on my face for 10 minutes to firm, brighten and lift the skin further while sealing in the goodness of PDRN with a pleasant relaxing scent. This facial ended with a moisturiser according to my skin type.

Immediately after PDRN Cellular facial, you can see that my forehead looks like it was airbrushed (no edit at all!) and recharged so it appeared smoother and rosier. I left SW1 feeling like a baby as my skin is glistening with health and confidence. Will I spend another bomb on this? Yes, I will! This after-glow will last 3-4 weeks so this is a treatment that is definitely worth investing in!
