How I got rid of my 'Banana Rolls' or simple 'Fatty Thighs'

By Gaylen KaSai - Friday, February 15, 2019

I visited Premier Clinic latest branch at Mont Kiara in late January for a schedule laser treatment and I did the most random decision which turned out to be one of the best investments I have done. If you guys follow me on Social Media, you would have realize that I haven't been wearing much of shorts and skirts but pretty much in my jogger + tee outfit for the past few months, so I haven't been paying attention to my behind and my thighs. One fine day as looked into the mirror I got shocked to see the fold on the back of my thighs coupled with stubborn cellulite. OMG! I have been bothered by it ever since, so during this visit I decided to get it treated. Yas! Let's burn them fat....

As usual Dr. Foo, my fav doctor whom is always ever so patience in explaining everything I need to know and to bare with me & my photo/video taking was the doctor on duty [ VIDEO BELOW as usual ] I asked Dr. Foo about a suitable treatment for my problem which he calls 'Banana Rolls', if only they were real 'Banana Rolls' I would have ate them, or maybe I ate one too many 'Banana Rolls' that it rolled down there. Anyway whatever it is called, I don't want it there!

So, Mesolipolysis is a subtype of Mesotherapy that target on the fat reduction, body sculpting and cellulite busting. This method works by administering fat-dissolving actives into the fat cell layer. Saddle bags, love handles, abdomen, hips, waist line, arms and double chins can be sculpted with few injections. Mesolipolysis works best when such areas cannot be treated with Fat Freezing treatments like Clatuu where there is not be enough fat to fill the treatment applicator of Fat Freezing. Mesolipolysis is highly effective in reducing localized fat deposits, couple with regeneration and improvement of skin elasticity. It contains plant extracts to increase fat metabolism and melting. It also improves lymphatic circulation to reduce the appearance of the cellulite. Another advantage is that the skin will continue to tighten with the reduction of fat. The procedure is quick and there is no downtime. There is minimal discomfort during the procedure especially the first 2 injections, it is bearable. Results can be seen in 2-3 weeks, and most time more than 1 treatment is required depending on individual. If you are bothered by the same issue, why not give Premier Clinic visit Premier Clinic for a free consultation.

Those lines you see on the 'after' pics are from the pants I was wearing prior to taking this photo. Lol

Anti Aging

Lift and Firms your skin from home!

By Gaylen KaSai - Monday, December 10, 2018

What would you do if I told you there is a skin care device out there that could fight the signs of ageing and give you the benefits of salon treatments, all in the comfort of your own home? Well, I recently discovered a beauty gadget from Taiwan known as the TryMe 2in1 Hot Spa Shell Machine [ 溫熱SPA貝殼機] So let’s check out this miraculous device that is able to lift and firm your skin! TryMe 2in1 Hot Spa Shell Machine.

What is it? this palm size device is an easy to use mobile beauty device which is shaped like a shell and aimsrejuvenate and stimulate your skin to better health by using optimal temperature (42 degrees) to promote collagen production. This device helps to deliver antioxidants, vitamins and peptides from your essence, serum or moisturizer to your skin faster via the micro current and micro vibration. Red light or LED from the device helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, this is because when our blood vessels relaxes, increased blood circulation aids in cell repair thus younger looking results. The Titanium coating on the application part of the device allows for smooth serum application and easy to clean surface.

How to use? The TryMe 2in1 Hot Spa Shell Machine comes with a USB Charger, so it is really convenient to bring around even when traveling. This device can be charged via a power bank or laptop too! Perfect ‘on the go’ product. The light indicator will be red during charging. The device might feel a little warm when charging but there’s nothing to worry about. To power on the TryMe 2in1 Hot Spa Shell Machine, all you have to do is press 2 seconds on the power button [ do the same to switch off ] As the machine is switch on, there are 4 settings.

Press 1st Time: Device will start warming up with LED Light without Vibration
Press 2nd Time: Vibration mode without LED Light
Press 3rd Time: No Vibration with Flickering LED Light
Press 4th Time: Constant Vibration with LED Light The TryMe 2in1 Hot Spa Shell Machine beats at 8000 RPM which gives deep vibration and relieves pressure and ease tired skin, while the heat from the device improve blood circulation and increase metabolism and this will effectively relieve fatigue.

Once you have your desired setting, simply apply essence, moisturizer or serum onto the face and using the titanium side massage the forehead, eye area, cheeks, and jaw line in an upward motion, remember to keep the device constantly moving.I personally love the 4th setting, which is also the setting I use on my face every night. The device will only heat up to 4 degrees to promote collagen production so you don’t have to worry about burning yourself. The first time I used it I thought I was going to burn myself, Lol which is why I am reassuring you that you won’t.

The TryMe 2in1 Hot Spa Shell Machine can also be used for lymphatic drainage, and to target certain body parts such as shoulders, neck , calves and arms too. However do remember to apply either body lotion, body firming gel or essential oil before using the device on the particular body part.

My Take on TryMe 2in1 Hot Spa Shell Machine. Honestly I am impressed, I was rather skeptical at first until one day when hubs was filming for me [ yes I did a video for your guys to watch ] and I did only half of my face and hubs actually said that one side is more lifted compared to the other. I totally love this product now and I bring it along with me because it's so lightweight and compact. I also realize that since I started using the TryMe 2in1 Hot Spa Shell Machine my makeup tend to last longer throughout the day I would highly eecommend this to anyone that is looking for a home spa device at an affordable price. Check out the product HERE checkout with [ GAYLENXTRYME ] for RM10 off! Valid till the end of the year [30th Dec 2018]

Drink to a new You with ACERA!

By Gaylen KaSai - Saturday, December 08, 2018

I have been writing a lot about negative ions recently, from facial cleansing devices to stone spas. So today I am going to share another ‘negative ion’ product I recently found out that can be beneficial to your health. Do you carry a tumbler or a water bottle with you when you go outdoors? Do you have your own private cup at home? Well I do, I carry my Red Water bottle with me at all time, because we all know how h2o can benefit us and keeping hydrated in this weather is a must and I also have my own personal pink cup at home which I do not share with hubs or the kids. Lol, but all those was yesterday’s story.

Today, I have a Ceramic tumbler from ACERA which I got from Tian-I Shop and I simply fell in love the moment I had opened up the box. Ceramic has always been an Oriental treasure with a history of over 1,000 years and it represents Chinese art and culture. ACERA which was founded in 1986 by Yu Chun-Ming, is a Taiwanese brand. ACERA is well known for their ceramic products such as travel mugs, tea sets, housewares and wellness series. Each and every piece from ACERA is handcrafted with delicacy and every piece is decorated by hand and all this requires more than 70 steps, the moment you hold the mug in your hands I am sure you will fall in love just like how I did. I got myself the The Miracle Tumbler from the LIVEN collection despite the price tag.

What is so great about the ACERA LIVEN tumbler? Well, I was like you doubting and questions why and what is so great about this until I had my hands on them, I had all the answers I need and I am actually getting another one as we speak; for the hubs. They make a great gift and yes, Christmas is around the corner. Opps, no surprises for him I guess. LOL.

Ever ceramic piece of from ACERA is so well crafted that looking and holding it make me happy already, the LIVEN tumblers are also glazed with valuable white tourmaline as part of its patented manufacturing process, the LIVEN Series utilizes a far range infrared (FIR) technology pioneered by ACERA. White Tourmaline is an amazing gemstone and is compounded with elements such as aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium or potassium. The tourmaline gemstone itself is known to aid in relieving stress, increase mental alertness, improve circulation and strengthen the immune system. Spiritually, Tourmaline promotes inspiration and happiness, reducing fear, and building self- confidence and balances yin-yang energies, whereas from the scientific standpoint, tourmaline is known to generate a weak electric current, producing far infrared rays and converting moisture in the air to negative ions. We all already know the that negative ions are beneficial to the human body while positive ions are harmful. Where do we find negative ions? The highest concentration would be in natural clean air especially around waterfalls, oceans, beaches or after a storm. Natural clean air is rather hard to find these days unless I live in the forest or mountains of which I don't intend to which is why I got this tumbler instead.

My drinks definitely taste so much more flavorful when drinking from the ACERA LIVEN tumbler and every time I drink from this tumbler I know that I am doing my body good because when tourmaline is subjected to heat the electrical charge will release negative ions which helps to purify any liquid in my tumbler. tourmaline coating breaks down large water molecule and that reduction provides a more purified taste and improve absorption of water into my body. I have tried drinking coffee with my tumbler and indeed the aroma and taste of of my coffee improves, I have tried drinking water, milk and tea from it and yes I can confidently tell you that water tasted different. Sounds hard to believe, I know. I will try drinking beer from it because drinking beer from a ceramic mug itself is known to refine the foam and reduce stomach bloating and with Tourmaline I am sure that I will be drinking the beer of my life! I also love the fact that this tumbler is able to keep my hot drinks hot and my cold drinks cold for a longer time compared to regular mugs or tumblers because of the double wall insulation, my drinks are kept hot for a good 90 minutes [lid close]

I am really enjoying my new tumbler and if you wish to find out more about this you may check out Tian-I Shop and every piece from ACERA makes a great gift as well as an awesome collection! I am already planning to start my own collection of ACERA because I simply cannot resist their beauty. Christmas is around the corner so if you haven’t gotten your friends or loved ones a gift, you may consider giving them the tumbler of health. Spread Health; Spread Joy and have yourself a merry little Christmas!

I am going to add these into my collection soon!

How can Stone Spa benefit your health?

By Gaylen KaSai - Thursday, December 06, 2018

Day More Stone Spa Penang

We all work so hard to earn a living, and there is simply nothing better than being able to kick back, relax and pamper ourselves especially after a long hard day at work or a day of seemingly endless chores. Living in a fast paced world it is so important to take time out just to relax and have some me-time.

Waiting Room

My me-time mostly comprises of messages and spas as it is really the only time I can wind Mown and forget everything for a little while. So, last week I visited a new spa; Day More Stone Spa which has just recently open its doors. Day More Stone Spa Penang is located at EGate Penang and has recently opened another branch in Bangsar Village, KL.

Bed of Stones which is great for our health

The concept of Day More Stone Spa is the first of its kind in Malaysia. Stone Spa originated from Tamagawa Onsen in Akita Prefecture, Japan. Stone spa has been confirmed to bring health benefits by experts as upon heating by volcanic activity, the natural ore emits far infrared rays and releases negative ions. Stone Spas promotes natural healing process, improved vitality, eliminate fatigue, accelerates metabolism and also expels toxins. So if you've heard of onsen or Ganbanyoku then this would be somewhat similar. At Day More, 5 natural rare ores that radiates far infrared rays and releases negative ions. Far infrared rays will heat the body and improves blood circulation while negative ions will increase overall well-being, improves mood, reduces negative emotions such as anxiety, worry, sadness. It is able to neutralize the effects of stress, eliminate sleep disturbances and improves mental immunity. I was also told that Stone Spa is actually very popular in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea and many celebrities actually does the stone spa to maintain their health and beauty.

Know it: An ore is an occurrence of rock or sediment that contains sufficient minerals with economically important elements, typically metals, that can be economically extracted from the deposit.The ores are extracted from the earth through mining; they are then refined (often via smelting) to extract the valuable element, or elements.

Magnetic Stones to release Negative Ion

Radium Ores, are known to release large amounts of highly concentrated quantities of negative ions and also emits far infrared rays which are beneficial to our bodies as it facilitates health improvements and promotes beauty. I have previously share before about the benefits of negative ion for a beauty device I use, you can read about it Here. Energy from the Radium Ores can regulate our nervous system, enhance blood circulation, lower body fat and visceral fats, improves heart and lung and overall health and beauty.

Negative Ions and Far Infrared Energy Stone, regulates the balance of human ions, which allows our body and mind to relax while activating cells and inhibits oxidation or aging of the body. Far infrared rays promotes skin metabolism, strengthening of sebum secretion and promotes blood circulation as well as cell regeneration. Negative Ion does a great job in enhancing our immune system and boosting out blood oxygen level. We tend to sleep better with this energy too!.

Beitou Stones is a well known Miracle Stone in the east, these stones are most commonly found in Tamagawa Hot Springs in Japan, and it is said that this stone can heal almost all illness.

Black Lead is a kind of graphite found in the deep ocean hundred of million years ago, and has recently being pilled up on the seabed in recent years. It has being reaffirmed that black lead can improve water quality, soil deodorization or sterilization. When heated, black lead emits far infrared rays and releases negative ions.

Whole body is being warmed up by the stones just like in an Onsen

Head Guasa with specially blended Pure Essential Oil to relax your body and soul

Rest and relax as your body heals

Migraines can ease with the Head Guasa Treatment

My Experience of Day More Signature Stone Spa. Before the session began my body stats were measured, weigh, BMI, Fats etc. This stone spa can actually give immediately results [depending on individual ] I read that some individual have manage to lose a few pounds too. So I was provided with a towel and was ushered into the bathroom for a shower which got me a little confused as we usually shower after the session and I was told that even after the stone spa session, I do not need to shower again despite all the perspiration. I was a little bit taken aback because I am not the kind of person that could stand the stickiness or smell from my perspiration, oh well let’s see. I like the fact that even the shower heads at Day More are infused with stones and all the necessary toiletries such as hair conditioner, shampoo are provided. I was then ushered into the treatment room where there were beds filled with stones, being skeptical I reaffirmed with the friendly therapist if I'm suppose to sleep on that bed of stones, it must be rather uncomfortable I thought to myself. As I lay down on the bed, I didn’t feel the rockiness or bumpiness instead it felt warm and comfy. The top cover will be closed down and only the area above my neck can be seen. This whole treatment will take approx 60 mins. The temperature of the stone bed is capped at 40 Degree Celsius which feels just nice, it might feel a little warmer in the beginning as our body gets use to it. This temperature allows our body to gently releases sweat while expelling toxins from the body. I was reminded from time to time by their therapist to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated which I ignored and regretted, I will tell you why soon. 60 mins sleeping on this Stone Bed is actually equivalent to running a 30km Marathon. They were not joking when they said this, I was drenched wet by the time the 60 mins was up. I was also given their “Signature Head Guasa’ session about 10 mins after I layed down on the bed, the therapist uses a tool and massages my head and neck, truth be told I was scared because most massage places I go to, I do not allow them to massage my head because I will have a headache soon after they are done. I really wanted to see how this ‘Signature Head Guasa’ will be different because I have been suffering from the worst Migraine I have ever experienced for 3 days before I came here so I don’t think any massage can get the migraine worse than it already it, on the bright side of life this Head Guasa might even heal the migraine! I went home feeling all relax and happy, and the pain from the migraine has reduced significantly, I wouldn’t say its not there but it doesn’t bother me that much anymore compare to the day before, but that night I was so thirsty that I think I drank a gallon of water. Lol. I was running to and fro from the bathroom that I lost count. I think this is why the therapist keep telling me to drink more water and stay hydrated during the treatment, so please do remember to drink plenty of water when you go ok, actually we should be drinking at least 2 liters of water on a daily basis. So completing the 60 mins ‘Stone Spa Treatment and being drenched wet, to my amazement my skin wasn’t feeling sticky or smelly at all, it felt really smooth just like what babies skin feels like. Yup, I didn’t take a shower after that because there really is no need too.

Signature Meridian Therapy

I also did the Signature Meridian Therapy and Signature Female Meridian Therapy at Daymore Stone Spa Penang. What is Meridian Therapy? Meridian therapy is somewhat like acupuncture where your acupoint is treated but uses other strategies to stimulate the points such as electrical probes and low-intensity laser. Meridian therapy techniques restore energy flow through the body’s twelve meridians. It works in a variety of ways to release blockages and restore balance in mind and body. This technique has been well know and used in the east for healing and energy balancing.

Signature Meridian Treatment which I really enjoyed. I could feel my whole body loosen up

My Meridian Therapy Experience was really great. Before the treatment begin, a cream which is specially blended by Day More is applied to my back. This cream consist of ginger which is great to expel winds. A device is then used to go around my back. It feels like a pin and needles as it goes along the back, it felt funny a first but then soon the feeling becomes familiar and it feels rather comfortable. On some areas the intensity felt a little stronger, mostly on those areas that I have been hurting a lot such as my underarms and shoulders. This meridian therapy will help loosen our nerves and help increase blood circulation and is great to de-stress.

Female Meridian Treatment

The Female Meridian Therapy was totally different from the previous as no external devices were used but only the therapist bare hand against the body’s acupoint. This treatment is only for the ladies as this treatment can help ladies who has PMS, or disturbed monthly period and also women who is undergoing menopause. This treatment also help to release water retention and the digestive system. It is good to do this treatment once a month to keep our womb and ovaries in good health.

Freshening Up

Once you are done pampering yourself, you can freshen up at Day More Stone Spa Penang with no worries as everything is already provided for you. A cozy section is available for you with amenities such as hair brush, hair dryer, lotions and all. So if you are feeling a little weary, allow me to suggest that you try out “Day More Stone Spa” since we don’t have onsen here in Malaysia to go too. The stone spa will surely help you relax and equipped your body with the elements that its deficient in. The warming sensation will improve your blood circulation and metabolism and you will see the effect preeminent in both beauty and health. Check out the links below.

Aesthetic

Pico is the new hunk in town!

By Gaylen KaSai - Wednesday, December 05, 2018

Freckles are sexy! I always admire women with freckles, but too bad mine aren’t freckles, they are called dark spots and scars! Yes those nasty scars cause by my own doing, I don’t always have pimples or acne *touch wood but when I do I like to pick on them; a lot! My scars fades lighter in about 4-5 months but there are still there, just less obvious. This time I want to get rid of them, I mean how can I achieve flawless skin with these nasty little scars.

I knew lasers could definitely help! I use to have laser treatments on a monthly basis but it has been a while since my last, so I consulted my top favorite aesthetic clinic Premier Clinic! I was told there’s a new hunk in town called PICO! Yesh! PICOCARE is the Nd:YAG picosecond laser system to treat unwanted skin conditions such as scar removal, pigmentation, freckles, age spots and can even remove Tattoos! PICO Laser treatment can also tighten, smoothen and whiten skin! I have about 5 acne scars on my face, new and old

ones and some of them cannot be covered with concealers as they have become uneven caused by me digging deep into the skin, PICO Laser can help conditions like this as well as many other skin conditions.

How does PICOCARE Laser works?

The beam produces picosecond pulse lasers to heat the deeper layers of the skin and target the pigments without affecting the surrounding tissues. Melanin and pigment particles are broken down into thin “dust.” When the pigments below the skin are no longer concentrated in one spot, it less visible on the surface. PICOCARE Lasers can perform many different functions, It is able to get rid of pigmentation and help reduce acne scars, rough textures and pores at the same time. Scars are removed using the Picocare laser through the use of very fine laser beams that penetrate below the skin causing tiny bubbles to form using micro-explosions.

What is the difference between PICOCARE Laser and Normal Laser?

I have tried other types of lasers before, and there is a difference between ever machine. Lasers uses a solitary wavelength to deliver vitality into skin target. PICOCARE lasers can distribute energy in shorter bursts with more laser beats per second. This will help break down pigment containing cells thus making it more effective than other lasers. Skin’s collagen is also rebuilt! Yay to that!

The Procedure

After consulting the bubbly Dr. Jaswine, my face was cleansed and a 3D photo of my face will be taken. In this photo you will be able to see all the imperfections on my skin. Numbing cream is then applied on my face as I wanted the procedure to be as comfortable as possible. You can opt to start the treatment without anaesthetic too as I was told the that PICOCARE Lasers are not painful and most patients opt out for numbing. Me? I just wanted a more pleasant experience. Lol. 20 minutes later, Dr. Jaswine appeared and the procedure was about to begin. I felt pulses on my skin throughout but did not feel any pain. I was happily chatting with the bubbly Dr. Jaswine and before I knew it the procedure was done. Tops 15 mins! The numbing took 20 mins! That was the fastest laser treatment I have experience.

So if you are looking to for a laser treatment to removes scars especially tattoos, PICO Laser is highly recommended. Contact Premier Clinic for a free consultation and I assure you that you will be well taken care of. Deeds below
