PRP facial is very popular over the past few years and I've been frequently doing it because I love the effect it gives my skin, this round I was invited to Laco Clinic in Puchong to try out their PRP with Derma Shine Treatment.



What makes them different is how the procedure is done, usually, needles are used so if you've got a needle phobia, PRP is basically not a good choice of option for you. To reduce the patient's discomfort Laco clinic uses an auto-injecting device - INTROFILL as it injects the PRP directly into the skin the process of the needling itself stimulates collagen by promoting wound healing.



What is PRP with Derma Shine Treatment?
As you all know Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is a concentrate of platelet-rich plasma protein derived from our blood after it has been processed by spinning in a centrifuge to remove the red cells since this is created from your very own blood, there will be no rejection from your body and Derma Shine is basically Hyaluronic Acid. The combination of these two will give you supple, glowing skin in no time.

PRP with Derma Shine Treatment promotes tissue healing and repair, which means it can help with all sorts of skin issues such as improving scars, eliminate wrinkles, stimulate collagen formation that will transform your skin to be more radiant and firm after undergoing the treatment.


How long did it take? 
The procedure took around an hour and a half, most of the time spent was prepping my skin, making sure it's clean before we started the treatment and waiting for the anesthetic cream to numb the face before injections were done by Dr. Jacqueline.




How does it feel?
Since the face is numb, you would not feel any pain but as the Dr injects you will feel the tingling of the needles entering the skin and expect some redness immediately, by the time I got home the redness has subsided.

Aftercare
As usual, after any kind of treatment it is important to take care of our skin, no facials for a first 2 weeks, maintain moisture by using lots of masks and always have your sunscreen with you, I reapply mine every 3-4 hours because my work require me to travel a lot and be outdoors.


Results
Heres my before and after, the redness has subsided slowly, my skin is sensitive so it took a little bit longer but it is now brighter, and my dark eye circle has reduced as well, over time as our skin cells will turn over the results will be more apparent.

How often do you check your kid's foot to see if they've outgrown their shoes? One mentality that Asians tend to have is to buy bigger shoes for their kids because they'll eventually grow into it. Yes, technically it's true they'll grow into it but do you know along the way it could affect foot development and result in musculoskeletal issues in the future? The typical problem range from flat feet, in-toed gait patterns, and bow legs.

I recently visited Sunfeet International Rehab Center that's located in Petaling Jaya, this time I brought Miya along because I wanted to get her feet checked as well as get her a new pair of shoes to prepare for her to go back to school next year.

As Miya grows so does her feet, just this year she has changed at least 4 pairs of shoes already, mostly outgrown so I felt that it's really important for me as a responsible parent to get them checked and fitted correctly.



Here's are some tips for parents out there! 

Shoes that are too small will restrict the growth of their feet while shoes that are too big cause instability.



If you're uncertain how to choose the right pair of shoes for your kids, check out these 6 steps that can guide you or if you need help you can always drop by Sunfeet International and get advice from their friendly consultants there.



There are many things parents have to prepare when our kids return to school and part of it is a good pair of shoes, shoes can play a big part in affecting the development of your kid's feet, as mentioned poor-fitting and shape of shoes can cause malalignment of joints, restrict normal growth of the feet, and limit natural movement of foot.

Sunfeet International has a wide range of healthy school shoes for kids that provides support, comfort and prevent restriction of growth and malalignment of joints. For older kids who go to school can opt for white or black shoes or younger kids like mine, we could always choose the more fashionable ones.

We're constantly told breakfast is important for maintaining concentration throughout the day and keeping a healthy lifestyle but in reality, many of us skip it, I can be guilty of doing this myself because there are days "I don't have time for it"

Our bodies need the energy to keep moving at that pace. If you often work through lunch and go hours without even breaking for a snack, you may have difficulty concentrating and getting results from the work you’re putting in.

To keep it short and simple, choose a healthy breakfast high in fiber, low in saturated fat and packed with vitamins and minerals.


Last week, Herbalceutical (M) Sdn Bhd launched a new wholesome soy drink range - NH Soy Series to provide the best for you and your family including the elderly and kids.


During the event, I had a chance to sample it for myself and I think this will make the perfect breakfast. NH soy series is made from all-natural ingredients, without artificial flavoring, coloring, and preservative, it is also high in protein, nutritious and most importantly tasty.


NH Soy Series comes in two types - NH Soy Seeds or NH Soy Purple, the soybeans used in these products are Ecocert organic certified peeled soybeans, soybeans are one of the best resources of protein, it is high in dietary fiber and low in saturated fat, for vegetarian users or those with lactose intolerant this is a great choice for you.

NH Soy Seeds is a combination of soybeans, organic Chia Seeds and Basil Seeds, these ingredients help rocket up the nutritional value of omega-3 fatty acids and dietary fiber and minerals while giving great drinking pleasure with its crunchy texture, instead of a boba tea why not try this out to suppress that craving?

NH Soy Purple is made of soybeans and purple sweet potato, this is a match made in nutrition heaven. Sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamins and minerals such as Vit C, Vit B, manganese and iron and it is also rich antioxidant levels. The lovely purple color you get from this drink is natural and it's delicious as well, this is my favorite amongst the two.


Preparing this drink is easy, add 3 scoops of the NH Series of your choice into a cup or shaker and add in warm or cold water and it's done. If you're adventurous, you could also try out different methods such as adding it into your yogurt, add in fruits to make a shake or simply enjoy it as it is.

NH Soy series is available at any Watson stores nationwide or Watsons Online and Mobile App for RM63.80 (800gm) hurry up and download it from Google Play Store or Apple App Store and enjoy free delivery with a minimum spend of RM100 while stock last.
