Skin Rejuvenation Treatment can be done quickly,
during lunchtime.
EstheClinic’s Glow To Go IPL Skin Rejuvenation Treatment promises rapid revitalization for tired skin, minimizing fine lines, evening out pigmentation, and restoring a youthful radiance and smoother texture.
According to EstheClinic, this treatment targets the deeper dermal layers of the skin, stimulating cellular activity, collagen production, and regeneration. It also effectively diminishes uneven pigmentation on the surface.
Utilizing the MacPeel No Pain System IPL machine – exclusive to EstheClinic Singapore – this treatment eliminates the need for numbing cream and treats the entire face in just 15 to 20 minutes, which EstheClinic claims is twice as fast as conventional IPL technologies. The painless procedure requires no downtime, with noticeable results from the first session.
EstheClinic also offers body whitening treatments that utilize IPL to target specific areas, smoothing wrinkles, refining pores, and reducing hyperpigmentation. They explain that factors like shaving, waxing, and natural processes can contribute to darkening in certain areas.
Furthermore, EstheClinic introduces a limited-edition EstheClinic The Gift of Glow skincare set. This exclusive set, priced at S$228 (valued at S$270), includes three full-sized products from their Eladerm cosmeceuticals line:
Eladerm Le DermaBooster: This at-home microneedling tool features ultra-fine titanium needles for gentle yet effective stimulation of cellular activity, promoting deeper skincare penetration and boosting collagen production. EstheClinic claims noticeable improvements in skin smoothness and tightness within a week.
Eladerm Le Serum CosmeLED Global Anti-ageing Serum: This serum is formulated with botanical extracts to accelerate cellular regeneration and renewal. It harnesses the power of chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green hue, to oxygenate the skin, expedite repair, and shield cells from harmful free radicals.
Eladerm La Crème CosmeLED Global Anti-ageing Cream: This potent cream targets signs of aging with a blend of botanicals, including chlorophyll, designed to quickly firm and lift the skin.
Details:
EstheClinic’s Glow To Go IPL Skin Rejuvenation Treatment is priced at S$250 per session for the face and S$320 for the face and neck. Packages of six and ten sessions are also available. For best results, a series of six to eight sessions is recommended, spaced three to four weeks apart.
The Glow To Go IPL Skin Rejuvenation Treatment can also be applied to the hands and neck area, starting from S$75 per session.

*The use of plant stem cells, including apple stem cells, has gained traction in the cosmetics industry. However, there is limited research readily available online regarding their efficacy. One study indicated that a formula incorporating apple stem cells demonstrated anti-aging effects. The apples utilized are typically Swiss apples, specifically the uncommon Uttwiler Spätlauber variety.
