The IDS (Innovative Dermatological Solutions) Journey - First Visit

I'm a strong believer that consistency is what allows us to see and experience change. This applies very much to exercise, nutrition and of course skincare. 
That consistency and diligence to following a programme is key, but the effectiveness of it is also crucial in order for us to see any positive changes and to be able to sustain these changes.

I first visited IDS Clinic over 3 months ago where I had my skin assessed by the Dr. Ian Tan and the clinic assistants. Only then were they able to prescribe a customised set of IDS Skincare products for me to take home. 




I visited their outlet at Novena Specialist Center at 8 Sinaran Drive because it's more convenient for me and really like the set up of the clinic too. The first thing I noticed upon entering was that they they have a spacious sitting area and a dispensary where you can collect the prescribed skincare products after having your consultation and skin analysis done.





About IDS Clinic


Opened in 2014, IDS Clinic brings together medical science, technology, artificial intelligence and complementary skincare to tackle skin woes that we commonly face these days.

From Skin to Face, Body and Hair, the clinic offers modern and effective treatments to address the issues with maximum efficacy. In fact, you'll be surprised at how their innovative and effective treatments are not going to burn a hole in your pocket. Despite the high quality services and products, the rates for their solutions are actually reasonable.

If you're wondering how much the treatments cost, you'll still need to get your consultation done first no matter which clinic you visit. Only then will you know which treatment is best suited for you. Sometimes what we want isn't what we really need. 

With two outlets located at Novena Specialist Center and International Building, I'd say both locations are actually very convenient to get to. And with 5 doctors on their team, you can be sure that the issue you're facing can be addressed well at the clinic.

Checking the Condition of My Skin

After my registration upon arrival at the clinic, I met with Dr. Ian Tan whose multiple accreditations in the aesthetics field would impress most people including myself. And I was very happy to know that he has a special interest in anti-aging too. This was actually what I knew I wanted but I was keen to hear what he felt I needed.

After speaking with him and getting my skin analysed by the innovative equipment here, we both agreed that my skin is dry and I do have some freckles due to sun damage. So he recommended a range of products for me from their range of IDS Skincare Products and I was to use them for the next month before my second visit.





The skin analysis was done so quickly and efficiently here at the clinic and this allows us to also keep track of the progress when we come in again over time to compare the difference and improvements.


The Skincare Products




I was prescribed a range of products after the skin analysis and my consult with the doctor. Here’s what I was to use for the next month before my second visit.

Formulated with IDS proprietary NEULASTIN transcutaneous delivery system, the active ingredients in this product are delivered effectively into the skin to help refine pores and reduce the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads. I really did notice that these blemishes don’t appear anymore after a month. It’s non-oily and great for those who are concerned about oily and blemish-prone skin





This Vitamin C Serum also contains Vitamin E and Fullerenes which are Corbin molecules that help to neautralize free radicals and are known to suppress melanin and reduce the production of sebum. 
The active ingredients Trosidium Ascorbyl Palmitate Phosphate are really a combination of antioxidant, oil and vitamin C derivative that work to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, lighten the marks from blemishes and create a more even skin tone.




An age-defying super cream which contains ingredients such as zinc and magnesium, Elastin and Sodium Hyaluronate. These ingredients work together to maintain the suppleness and bouncing as of skin and allow our skin to snap back into its youthful shape. It also works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles while increasing the moisture content in our skin.




Providing anti-aging care for sensitive skin, the hyaluronic acid in this formula provides super moisturizing properties while reducing redness and irritation. It also works to stabilize our skin’s immunity and capillary integrity.




By enhancing our skin’s water retention, repair and cell renewal, this moisturizer boosts hydration levels in our skin while soothing dry and irritated skin which which is what I have.




This tinted sunscreen is chemical free and feels ultra lightweight. Love that it has added protection against inferred and blue light and even pollution! 





Stay tuned for my next update after I’ve used this product for a month! My next visit to IDS Clinic will also include a facial.


Thank you for Reading

My Sculptra Journey with Halley Medical Aesthetics: Final Review (Fourth Visit)

Image
  Since the start of my Sculptra treatment at Halley Medical Aesthetics till the final review with Dr. Terence Tan , I must say I’m very impressed and the results exceeded my expectations. I should point out that I initially didn’t expect much work to be done and was just happy where I was. But the fact is, we don’t know what we don’t know. And that’s why there are experts right? Just like how I’d tell my clients and students that the aches and pains that they feel every day is not normal although they tell themselves that its part and parcel of getting old. I now appreciate so much of what Dr. Terence Tan pointed out to me the first time I stepped in for the first consultation. Because looking at the pictures from my final review months after I did the treatment, I was really blown away (in a good way) with the results. Take a look at where I started and the end result now. I think the images speak for themselves. Before Treatment             ...

Meridian Facelift at Body Inc.

Nothing beats getting a pampering session done at the end of a long workday. But if it’s one that gives you a face-lifting effect, I think that right about makes it one of the best ways to end the day! I had the chance to receive this pampering treatment at Body Inc. where we were also introduced to the line of products used and carried by the brand. Within their product line is the Happy Series blended oils which are specially formulated using natural and organic remedies.  I got to use the Happy Lash blended oil which not only  removes eye makeup effectively, but after using the oil for the past few days I can actually feel how it doesn’t dry my skin like regular makeup remover does, and it nourishes my skin at the same time. What’s even better about this oil that is rich in Vitamin A, E and Omega-3 is how it also promotes lash and eyebrows growth!  Jacelyn demonstrating the use of the Happy Lash blended oil. Can’t get enough of this blended oil that’s so good for my la...

The IDS (Innovative Dermatological Solutions) Journey - Third Visit

Laser Treatment with IDS Clinic  Isn't it true? When we see an improvement to our skin over time we can get into the mindset that its good enough and that's the routine that we need to stick to. Contrary to that, our skin is constantly ageing and taking longer to regenerate as we get older. So once in awhile, a little something different can help us potentially see more improvements.  I've never been one for lasers before, and my first time experiencing it was with IDS Clinic this year. Yes I'm in my 40s already and why haven't I tried it you might ask? Well, I'm a chicken when it comes to having laser treatments on my face. Maybe its the scary stories I've heard from the time I was younger, but yeah, that's really the main reason why I never tried it before. Till Dr. Ian Tan from IDS Clinic recommended it as my treatment on my third visit here.  Quite honestly I was a little scared and skeptical, but he assured that it would not be uncomfortable. So ...
