Laser at Estee Clinic, Kepong

Estee Clinic Kepong is running a super promotion for November. Negotiated for a super worthy package with them via the phone after getting a consultation from Dr Pang a week ago.

Went there to do my 1st treatment - ND Yag Laser & Long Pulse Laser for my acne and acne marks. Actual laser treatment only lasted for about 10min or so. But before that, the beautician cleansed my face thoroughly, then applied some clear solution (looks like some ampoule) on my face for 8 min.

The ND Yag laser felt very similar to what I experienced from Klinik LP Tan - the Revlite machine, back in July 2015. The ND Yag laser uses heat to penetrate into the skin and it felt like 'Sparkles' on my face (think CNY sparkles)... Dr Pang explained that the lighter heat penetrates about 10mm deep while the stronger heat penetrate the superficial layer of the skin only - maybe about 4mm deep.

I also requested Dr Pang to get rid of the fine hairs on my upper lip with the laser to avoid looking like Ms Moustache! Then he uses a pulsing heat (Quasi Long Pulse Laser) to kill off acne bacteria I think.

The beautician put on a sheet mask for me after that - the sheet mask is supppeerrr nice smelling! Then she turned on a blue light over my face to calm my skin. after the treatment, my face is not very red! I actually didn't feel the need to quickly put on makeup to hide my lobster face!

Doc gave me a type of gel for spot treatment morning & night.

Here's the package I signed up for:

7 x ND Yag Laser & Quasi Long a Pulse Laser for RM 2800.

Normal RP for 1 session is RM850. I did my previous laser at Klinik LP Tan, TTDI for RM 750.


Made appt for next session for 7th Dec.
