Experts Explain Advancements in Exosome Use: ExoDerm by Facial Care Centre

Mike Lee and Dr. Young Seob Lee explains ExoDerm and advancements in exosome use

It's been a while since I've gone out for a little self care and pampering. But before that, I heard that there's a lot of development about using exosomes for treatments. Initially, I saw them using it at Svenson for NexoHair, a treatment made for hair loss, alopecia and the likes, but this time, they're taking it in even better applications specifically for skin and call it, ExoDerm. This procedure is being done at Facial Care Centre and their branches. We went to the Makati GT Tower branch which is at the corner of Ayala and HV Dela Costa streets. It is highly advised to get an appointment first before going there.

We met Mike Lee, the CEO of PrimaCure and his father Dr. Young Seob Lee, world renowned South Korean Plastic Surgeon and premier expert in this field. They explained to us the applications of exosomes and the things they can do now for the skin. Mike Lee explains "Undergoing this procedure for a regular patient would immediately have all your inflammation and blemishes clear. It can take effect somewhere between 1 to 5 days, and its purpose is to revamp the activity of your cells. When you are younger, you didn't have melasma right? Of course we get that through aging, but at the cellular level we need energy for it. We had anti oxidants to counteract pollution, UV rays, your lifestyle, nutrition and hormonal things. As we age, we're not able to regulate that as well. These stressors will affect the mitochondria, which brings you less energy, less collagen produced, and you'll have laxity and melasma. This happens when machines get old, then it makes it dry, because it falls and can't retain moisture. Like your cellphones, it needs updating, same concept goes with exosomes. It sends growth factors, genetic materials to revamp the skin. It makes your current skin behave younger, like when you're 36, it could act as 28 or even younger."

Dr. Young Seob Lee adds "In our next projects with our research in Europe, we are targeting post menopausal applications of exosomes, to prevent many uncomfortable issues with the female form. Initially we held research about its efficacy, and we have determined it to be quite good. And we might not just be applying this to post menopausal but post partum as well to prevent issues there. In the Philippines, we might have this soon."

The core technology that they are using is now being done for different applications. Their process is different and not derived through stem cells. The vesicle that enables delivery of needed products for skin/hair is the great thing about this and the different things they can do is promising. It's developed enough to do pathways that would benefit different kinds of treatment and it is already proven in the products they've come out with. They've seen it happen to more than a thousand patients in the Philippines alone, and numbers on a global scale would be a lot bigger. The customization they could do would be good for a lot of people.

Skincare by Stelton Dermascience

Felt the urge to run to a skin Care clinic and wellness center because I didn't use sunscreen last month during a Palawan trip. I absolutely loved paradise, but I looked like matchstick all red on my face while the rest of my body was fine. I would have opted for a facial but that wasn't much of an option because it's only been a month before I visited Stelton Dermascience. They actually advised me to scrap that idea (because of obvious reasons) but they had the heart to recommend to me a treatment that would fit what I want to happen, they call it the Hydrajet Facial.

I admire how they did this... and asked me about my skin condition. Other clinics would have just told me to lie down and do it but they knew how it would have hurt my skin if they did that. The skin consultation made me do the right decision. Realistically speaking, that alone was a nice step to solve my discoloration. Men don't usually have a sane knowledge on why we should take care of our skin, it's why I always advise some of my closest friends about what they should do (when I can) without going overboard and hurting their feelings too. Maintenance is a must and I do seldom do this because I have my own regimen at home, but if it needs expert help, I don't hesitate to do so.

I have mixed skin conditions, some parts are super oily while the others are dry. I always moisturize at home but it wasn't enough to see my face look burnt and it differently colored than my neck and those covered in clothes. The Hydrajet Facial was so comforting, it felt super refreshed and cold while they were doing it. Cold stuff tightens the skin but the air/water combo with it cleans the skin surface. They have different appicators on the machine while putting in serums I needed to not just lightly exfoliate but to nourish the skin.

It felt quite good and I almost slept during the whole thing. I loved the third part with the cold handle, they smothered my face with a concoction using that tool then started to prepare my face with light therapy. I didn't get to see it as they covered my eyes but I took decent photos.

The last step had a Vitamin C serum and I was advised not to wash my face for about 6-8 hours which I obliged. 

They also pushed Gluthathione on me with Vitamin C so I get nutrition inside, it only took a few minutes to do that.

They have different machines and specific rooms for facial procedures. They didn't also Have mirrors on it for light therapy procedures they needed to do. Everything is well thought of, including the skin procedures they need to do to your skin. 

Let me just put it out there, MEN need proper skin care and you absolutely need to maintain it. If you would want to look like a prune early then don't, but just like what I tell my friends, if you want to look good, feel good and be seen better by your peers, your loved ones, you have to do your part and take care of it. Although Stelton Dermascience recently opened this branch at the 2nd Floor of Ayala North Exchange in Makati City, they have years worth of experience in skin care catered for men and women. Backed by teams of dermatologists, aesthetic doctors, plastic surgeons, registered nurses and highly trained aestheticians, you can be sure you get services that you need when you need it. Procedures that need doctors are also scheduled and done by appointment so as to not put in danger their clients, a good practice in my books.

You should at least do maintenance work once a month so you don't have to worry, you deserve all the pampering you get from this place because it is affordable, it need not be expensive to take care of your skin. They also have anti aging procedures and laser treatments for those who need it, I'll try that next when I go back to Stelton Dermascience, they've got Skin Science Mastered.

 

Getting Rid of Acne: Try SkinTrends!

We all have skin problems during puberty, or our lifetime. Some less, some more seen but overall, we get to that one point when you just don't want to see it anymore especially when you need to go out to study or work. You get to break that normalcy because if you've got acne, you'll be ridiculed, looked upon and worse, treated like a freak coming out of a laboratory. I've met Dr. Herbia Joy Gonzales-Mongcal a couple of months ago and she did an excellent job answering questions about how the simple problem of pimples can be resolved by regular, time tested procedures she has been doing in clinics for a throng of her clientele.

Skintrends was started years ago by Dr. Joy in the city of Sta. Rosa, Laguna. It was called HCG Face and Body Clinic then and was a haven for wanted skin services at an affordable and reasonable cost. With further studies, training, and technology by her put in on the clinic, Dr. Joy got more clients from the southern Metro Manila area. The clamor to have more clinics that would be also closer to other cities became stronger and so they expanded branches to accommodate those who need the same level of service and quality products that would solve the real undeniable problem of acne. Her efforts were evidently bearing fruit because after her old clients saw how successful their treatments were, they had the next generation to also try their clinic later on. The sons, daughters, friends and family all became accustomed to what Skintrends provided these past few years, They heavily relied on word of mouth and since they've opened up a couple of more clinics nearby, they wanted more people to benefit from what they have inside their clinics. 

When I saw the list of their services, I thought it was going to be a little expensive, but no. I didn't even see anything ridiculously priced at all. Then they go on and told us that we could individually treat our readers too.

If you print this out and show it to them in their clinics, you'll get 100 pesos off your services (one voucher per day/transaction only). I think I even saw a 200++ basic facial on the list, now with this, you can get that same procedure at half the cost! Isn't that crazy? I know. Anyway, if you're still having problems with pimples, acnes or just plain want to get something done on your skin, try out SkinTrends in their branches at Sta. Rosa Laguna, Eastwood City, SM Fairview, Ali Mall, Festival Supermall in Alabang, and Pacific Century Tower in Quezon City. She's got strict training done on all her people so you won't be sorry if you avail their services. Aside from that, she know what she's doing and even if I did my research about it, she accommodates questions from people as crazy as me. So think about it, would you not want to treat yourself today? Print the image above and enjoy your time there... it'll be worth it especially if you're still suffering from acne. :)
