Expressions: Body System

I headed down to Expressions again two weeks ago.

This time, I wanted to re-try the Slim Juice as well as the Wheat Bran Supplements as it was after the feasting festive season and I thought it would let me better see the effects of them. 

This time, I'm proud to say that with my usual diet and no exercising, I lost 0.6 KG and had a decrease in body fat percentage of about 1%!

Hence, I'm proud to say that I've tested and proven that Slim Juice really does guarantee absolute solution for my slimming goals!!

Other than its health benefits, I must mention that Slim Juice taste good even on its own!  But if you prefer, you can also mix it with fruit juice for an enhanced taste.


As for the Wheat Bran & Psyllium Capsules, it acts as a supplement for our bodies so that we can reach our daily recommended dietary fibre intake. Researchers recommend for us to take in 25-35 grams of fibre daily but in our normal diets, it is found that most adults only take in 12 grams per day!

Hence, we are recommended to take in another 12 grams through the Wheat Bran & Psyllium Capsules for a good dose of niacin and vitamin B6.


After my second weight taking at the centre, Expressions has kindly allowed me to try out one of their treatment- Expressions VIP Body System! 
Their cosy treatment room! 
Expressions VIP Body System is the ideal solution to reduce excess weight, fat, cellulite, slack skin and fluid retention. 

Body system works by using infrared rays as cellular metabolic activator! 

When it comes to slimming, everyone is always afraid of side effects. Fret not, infrared rays are safe for the skin and the treatment will help you to burn fats and firm up!!

When positioned in contact on the skin, the infrared rays penetrate deeply in a unidirectional way, without any dispersion. This allows heat transmission to the tissues which promotes discharging of fats and increase in metabolism.

When the machine was strapped on to my thighs and stomach, what I felt was mainly vibrations. The consultant was caring and paid attention to how I felt. She kept asking if the intensity of the vibrations was alright and adjusted them according to my comfort. 

I chose quite a high intensity (I hope) as I really wanted to lose more fats at my problem areas! The vibrations were slightly uncomfortable at first but it became quite bearable after about 5 minutes. 

During the treatment, oxygenation and microcirculation are also greatly enhanced. The directional waves induce the bundle of muscles to do isotonic movements with a pumping effect. 

The pumping effect of the movement helps to discharge any waste fluids from my body. The induced directional waves eliminate the Adipose layers, resulting in the firming of the muscles.



For one session, the calories burnt is equivalent to 300 situps and one can lose up to 1.5KG!! 


After the session, I lost 1.5 cm from around my tummy area and I was really amazed. It didn't felt like fluid loss to me as I did not sweat at all which some might say when compared to other slimming companies which use sweating as a way of detoxing.


Slimming and firming of muscles without any effort? Count in me for such great deals man!!

Bio Revive


Having a healthy scalp is very important because our hair reflects a lot about our self esteem and attitude. I believe, with gorgeous hair, anyone can conquer the world.

Well, we can do treatments to our hair ends and everything but if we do not take care of our scalp, no matter what treatments we do, the root of the problem will not be resolved.

There are 8 types of alopecia (hair loss) that exist and there are many different factors that contribute to unhealthy scalp and hence, resulting in alopecia. 

Some of the more common factors that contribute to alopecia are:

1. Reduction in metabolic functions of hair follicles and hair bulbs. If the flow of blood in the capillaries surrounding the hair follicles and dermal papilla is reduced, the supply of nutrients to the dermal papilla and hair matrix will not be sufficient, hence impairing cell metabolism and having an adverse effect on hair growth.

2. Poor Nutrition and stress.

3. Reduction in scalp physiological functions. Ecessive build-up of dandruff flakes will block the pores of the scalp through which hairs exit the epidermis. 



But fear not, I shall introduce you to Bio Revive today, which is a centre focusing on how you can tackle your hair loss issues! 

About two weeks ago, I headed down to Bio Revive for their signature Scalp Restoration & Hair Loss Treatment. I was elated for the treatment as about a month prior to the treatment, I just recovered from medication for my scalp as I was infected with hairlice after my overseas trip. 

Due to the strong medication used, my frequency of hair loss increased and hence, I was excited to find out what Bio Revive could do for me!

Before photo of Scalp

As seen from the photos, my hair follicle were rather red and very clogged. Hence, the treatment was designed to clean up my scalp and also promote hair growth! 

Firstly, my consultant started off by treating my hair with high frequency. 

With high frequency waves applied to my scalp, bacteria or other foreign bodies on the scalp were killed, preventing any scalp infection.

There are also many benefits of the Hi-Frequency treatment, namely:

Improving blood circulation
Regeneratation of new cells
Treating dandruff and alopecia effectively

Preventing itchy scalp and scalp disorders
Stoping hair loss gradually
Promoting hair growth



Next, we proceeded to massaging the scalp with hair oil, which was to strengthen the hair roots to prevent collapsing and breakage of hair.

Next, a hair mask(Amla Paste) was applied to the scalp. This hair mask is now better absorbed due to the Hi-Frequency treatment!!

Amla Paste
Amla, a type of fruit, is known as one of the perfect ingredient for hair treatments. Its benefits are so well known that one is suggested to have a slice of Amla on a daily basis. Some of its benefits for the hair include giving the hair a natural shine, nourishing the hair and reducing hair fall!!
Enjoying my hair mask
After washing away the hair mask, its time to notice the difference in my hair!!

^Note: Same camera settings were used for fair comparisons.

I was quite amazed by the changes because as seen from the photos, my hair follicles can be seen to be much healthier! The scalp area is less red and also cleaner!! 

Overall, I enjoyed the whole treatment process a lot because my consultant was really very friendly and I felt really relaxed throughout my whole treatment. (not saying this because its a sponsored post but because its really like that!)



If I can have gorgeous hair, you can acheive it too!

To add on, Bio Revive is conveniently located at Novena Square 2 and you can easily find Bio Revive within a 3 minutes walk from Novena MRT.

Sen'se De Belle

Are you all preparing for CNY? Because I sure am!!
With less than a month to the festive where we get angbaos (Plus all sorts of questions from our relatives), we definitely want to make sure that we are looking our best during CNY.

Other than focusing just on dressing, we must ensure that our skin is at its best too! 
Thankfully, I have Sen'se De Belle to take care of my skin!

Located conveniently in Far East Plaza, finding this shop was an ease for me. 
Beautifully furnished with elegant finishes, I knew I was in for an indulging treat when I entered Sen'se De Belle. 


I really loved how pretty and comfortable the shop is!


Consultation room
Feel like a princess when you're in their consultation room!
Sen'se De Belle does not believe in hard selling and will only provide treatment that is needed by your skin. 

Here's one of their treatment room! 



After consultation, I was recommended to do their "Aqua Peel Mini" facial treatment! 

I took a few before and after photos for comparison too.

<Barefaced>
Before
As seen from the photo, my trouble areas was that my T-zone had some blackheads and the pores were slightly open. 
Furthermore, my skin tone was not very even and that my skin was a tat dry. 


For the Aqua Peel treatment, the main actives of the treatment are AHAs and BHAs.

AHAs and BHAs are different groups of natural acids and one of the most popular acids for cosmetic industry would be Lactic Acid. 
Lactic acid is a chemical found naturally in our skin and plays an important role in maintaining our skin's natural pH and also supplies moisture to our skin.

The moisturizing effect of this facial treatment is easily achieved in these 3 simple steps:

Step 1: AHA: Helps to exfoliate dead skin cells and supply moisture to the skin.

Step 2: BHA: Keeps pores clean with acne sterilisation, soften skin texture and is effective in scar treatment.

Step 3: Toning/Vitamins: Deep product penetration into the skin, anti-inflammatory to soothe skin and skin regeneration. It is effective in skin tightening.

``````````````
Throughout this treatment, I felt really relaxed and even fell asleep when I did the facial mask.

Despite being in the beauty industry providing aesthetic services, Sen'se De Belle is also able to deliver medical results. I find this to be a plus point because we get to relax and enjoy while the results are really obvious!


Prior to the facial treatment, I told them that I did not want any extractions because I don't really trust anyone other than myself with squeezing my face. 
However, throughout the treatment, I could tell that my face was in good hands and hence, when they asked if they could do extractions, I said yes!


After the facial treatment

After
Right Profile Before and After
The main differences I noticed in my skin would definitely be the softness! My skin felt like baby skin and I kept asking my friends to touch my face LOL. Also, the pores were very much cleansed and my pores appeared smaller! My skin tone became more even and had more radiance in it.

Now, I can go out without any foundation on my skin!! 
Bare-skined and no filter


Now, for my readers, Sen'se De Belle has kindly offered a 10% discount for services when you quote my name!

Expressions: Slim Juice; Wheat Bran & Cyro Thermo Gold Slimming Gel

Happy 2016 my dear readers!
New year, new resolutions right? I'm sure 'being skinnier' has always been on our new year resolutions, well, for mine at least.

All my friends have known me trying all sorts of methods to be skinnier but there always don't seem to have much difference in me. 

However, I've recently embarked on the ambassadorship of Expressions Wellness and tried out their 3 day slimming program! 

I was given a box of slim juice as well as a bottle of wheat bran dietary supplement to consume for 3 days.
Slim Juice and Wheat Bran Dietary Supplement
I tried this out during 23-25 December last year, I must say that I have chosen the wrong date to try out this product because its the festive whereby we are all going on feasts as well as being lazier than the usual days.
I ate more fast foods for the entire 3 days than I did for first half of December and I was so guilty.
So on 26th, when I went to take my weight, I was expecting weight gain.

So.. turns out my weight remained exactly the same with a few moderations in my body fat percentage level. I was pleasantly surprised that my weight managed to remain the same because I consider my body to have lower metabolic rate than before and any higher intake in calories will normally cause me weight gain.


Hmm, I guess I'll post some photos because photos will do the talking!
Day 1 Front View
Day 1 Side View
P.s. I consumed the products for 5 days instead of 3 days as I wanted to finish up my products!
Day 5 of Slim Juice and Wheat Bran supplement (Side View) [ 28 Dec ]
Even though my weight remained the same, I find my body to be slightly more contoured than before, I've even drawn on some lines for guideline!
Left: Day 1[23 Dec] // Right: Day 5 [28 Dec]
So, what are the benefits of Slim Juice?

Slim Juice helps individuals lose weight by:

Burning stubborn fat cells stored away in the body
→ Drain harmful toxins hindering the absorption of nutrients
→ Creates a smooth movement for the breakdown of food
→ Appeases appetite all day long
→ Reduces the tendency of snacking


As for What Bran & Psyllium dietary supplements, it speeds up the body's food processing time, providing important vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. It helps lower cholesterol level as well as cleanse intestinal tract. It is 100% natural herb that can also be eaten by vegetarians. Made in USA exclusively for Expressions.



If you're interested to get your own packet of slim juice and wheat bran & psyllium supplements, you can find them on www.expressions.com.sg

For the month of January, you can also embark on Expression's 3 days detox journey at http://www.expressions.com.sg/mywellnessclinique


By joining this detox journey, you stand a chance to win a complimentary set of Detox Kit or SlimJuice, along with a $500 Gift Voucher (Expressions Slimming, IPL, and Facial Services) upon successful completion of the Detox Challenge.



After day 5 (28 Dec '15), I stopped my slim juices as well as wheatbran supplements and waited a few days before I tried a new product on 2 Jan 2015.

Introducing....
Expression's Cyro Thermo Gold Slimming Gel!

Gold, being a tissue detoxifier as well as a purifier, being incorporated into the gel's formulation, will definitely increase the gel's ability to cleanse, burn fats and boost our metabolism. 

The gel felt really comfortable to apply onto the skin as its viscosity was just right. Also, like other slimming creams, it provided a warm sensation to the area it was applied on. The warm sensation was comfortable unlike some slimming creams which are a little too intense in my opinion!

After applying this product for about a week on my stomach area, the difference that I noticed was that it became less bloated. Really looking forward to my body's transformation as I continue to use this product!

If you're interested to get your very own bottle of Cyro Thermo Gold Slimming Gel, do not hesitate to do so here! ( http://www.expressions.com.sg/cryo-thermo-gold-slimming-gel )


Lastly, Expressions has kindly offered a discount of 15% for my readers when you check out with "GIVEME15" at  expressions.co
