NO matter how many times you tell a girl that she is beautiful, she will never believe you until she believes in herself. That said, getting on the road to self-realization can be fraught with peril and a lot of self-doubt. Thankfully, there’s the new Designer Rx Facial that keeps things in perspective along the way. If knowing thyself is a key to inner peace and beauty, the Designer Rx Facial by Dr. CRB Clinic (www.facebook.com/drcrb) works wonders. Best of all, the entire procedure takes only an hour. First, the regimen starts with the Facial Analyzer, a high-tech scanning device that takes a photo and determines the needs of your skin. Different aspects in different areas of the face will immediately be measured.
The Facial Analyzer will check the level of dryness or oiliness; measure the size of the pores on the different parts of the face; see where wrinkles form and the depth of the lines; determine the face’s ultraviolet damage and discoloration, the dark circles under the eyes, and emerging freckles on the skin; and measure how intact one’s collagen supply is. This unique and thorough analysis of the condition of your face will provide exactly what is essential to give you that youthful, glowing and beautiful skin. It’s a more personal approach to beauty, as seeing first-hand your skin’s actual condition will allow you to address problem areas or know how to further enhance your skin.
Next, based on the findings of the Facial Analyzer, a therapist will carefully select the steps and components of your personalized Designer Rx Facial. The components include various types of cleansers, toners, creams, serums, masks and moisturizers.
Finishing off the procedure is a quick experience of the Ionto, a noninvasive machine that is highly recommended to flatten scars, correct discoloration, and minimize large pores. The facial analysis is best done every three months to check the progress of your skin, while the Designer Rx Facial with Ionto is best accomplished weekly.
Says Dr. Che Bernad, founder and head doctor of full-service face, body and antiaging center Dr. CRB, and one of the Philippines’s best internationally trained cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists: “At Dr. CRB, we don’t want you to just have a facial; we want you to have the facial that will give exactly what your face needs. We will start with the Facial Analyzer to identify the condition of your face, pamper and nourish with the Designer RX Facial, and finish off with the Ionto to make sure everything needed to make your skin glow is absorbed properly. Best of all, it only takes an hour of your time.”
Bernad is a diplomate of the Philippine Academy of Dermatologic Surgery Foundation, International Society of Dermatologic Surgery, International Society of Cosmetic Surgery and the Asian Pacific Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. She attended the Mahidol University Institute of Dermatology in Bangkok, Thailand.
She also has a preceptorship in advanced rhinoplasty under Dr. Levi John Lansangan of the Shimmian Cosmetic Institute, and under Dr. Corazon Jose, president of the Philippine Society of Cosmetic Surgeons.
Now, when you’re done with your designer facial, you can slip into that designer dress. n
