Unlimited Facials? A Playful Dive Into IDS Aesthetics’ New Membership

When I first heard that IDS Aesthetics was rolling out a membership that promised unlimited facials, I had my doubts. How many treatments can you actually get before you hit the “skin‑saturation” wall? Could treating your face like a gym routine backfire?

What the Packages Look Like

  • Bronze Package – Get a modest try‑out on the newest treatments and save 15 % on every skin‑care product.
  • Silver Package – Add a complimentary laser treatment to the Bronze perks.
  • Gold Package – All the Silver benefits plus extra extras, such as exclusive product launches and in‑house bonus discounts.

All sessions take place at Robinsons The Hereen, so you never have to wander out for an appointment.

“Gym for Your Face” – How it Works

Think of it like your personal facial gym. Just as a trainer customises your workouts, the therapists curate the perfect treatments based on your skin’s mood each time you stop by. It’s not a one‑size‑fits‑all routine; it’s a tailored regimen designed to make you look and feel your best.

My Six-Week Commitment

Curiosity got the better of me, so I signed up for six weekly facials and listened carefully to what my skin told me. Here’s the low‑down, week by week.

Week 1: Fresh Start

My face felt like a clean slate. The therapist recommended a gentle hydrating mask and a light exfoliation, setting a solid foundation.

Week 2: Small Wins

Noticeable brightness appeared. My pores seemed to shrink a tad, and I felt that elusive “post‑gym” glow.

Week 3: Consistency Pays

The real perks kicked in – the complimentary laser treatment helped to smooth fine lines. I was pleasantly surprised by how well my skin adapted.

Week 4: Diminishing Returns?

My skin started to plateau; the obvious improvements slowed. That’s when the fact that even over‑exposure can backfire became clear.

Week 5: Balance is Key

At this point, the therapist suggested a lighter regimen, focusing on maintenance rather than aggressive exfoliation.

Week 6: Final Reflection

By the end of the six sessions, my complexion felt refreshed and steady. The benefits were clear, but I couldn’t ignore that the marginal gains tapered off.

Key Takeaways

  • Unlimited doesn’t mean endless – too many facials can start to dull the magic.
  • Personalization matters – treatments tailored to your skin’s needs give the best outcomes.
  • Seasonal choices help – swapping in lighter products during a plateau phase keeps skin balanced.

So, if you’re looking to treat your skin like you treat your body at a gym, give IDS Aesthetics a go. Just remember: the secret isn’t in the quantity, but in the quality of care.

A Sun‑Burned Skin Saga: My Face‑Book (AKA Face‑Book) Journey

Week 1 – “The Blur Block”

I just got back from a vacation that turned my skin into a beautiful carpet of bumpiness – thanks to too‑much SPF and a perfect excuse not to wash my face properly. Spoonfuls of sunscreen on the face? We didn’t need that! And then there was the cherry on top, a cheese sandwich (yes, dairy = my dear acne’s best friend).
The skin looked ‘clogged’ and, to be brutally honest, I was living in a real‑life portal to Bumpville.
I booked a professional facial because, let’s face it, who doesn’t need a spa day after a beach disaster?
The Therapist’s Recommendation: Hydro TherapeuticsShe outlined a plan that claimed to bring my skin back to its former glow, focus on blackheads, and dull those pores. She said the combintion of deep cleansing, exfoliation, and extractions would be a one‑stop shop for my acne crisis.The session finished with a vitamin C ampoule and a tailored mask.

  • Result?* I stepped out feeling silky smooth – no longer “bumpy” or “breakout‑filled.” I especially appreciated how the therapist had the psychic knack to decide which pimple needed extraction and which one could stay hidden.
  • Week 2 – “The Dry Rodeo”

    With the previous waves of oil‑rich treatment playing out, my skin wasn’t exactly flush. Instead of a tropical beach, I was fighting desert‑like dryness.
    During my follow‑up, I confided in the therapist that I was a dry‑skin type and that “clear skin” treatments tended to suck juice out of my skin.
    Even so, some pores were still gummed up, and the therapist fell back to the Hydro treatment again.
    A Hydrating Mask?At the end, there was a hydrating mask, but the dryness and tightness lingered. I think the therapy was meant to wipe out all the “gunk” before we started deep hydration. Of course, I didn’t go for hungry anymore – I hit the “sheet mask” and a generous splash of oil at home.

  • Week 3 – “The Cool Inverted Triangle”

    In the next appointment, my skin finally had no clogged pores or outbreaks. That’s the green light for a soothing, hydrating ritual.
    The Cool Choice (Cryo Therapeutics)The therapist chose Cryo, a gentle, cooling treatment that promises to soothe, brighten, and calm. I walked out relaxed, feeling my face is not just calm but ready for future bright adventures.

    Takeaway

  • Hydration is key – but watch the balance between cleansing and moisturizing.
  • Dairy = enemy for acne‑prone skin; avoid cheese in greasy sandwiches.
  • Professional judgment matters – let your therapist decide when to extract and when to keep it together.
  • Once again, my face is in better shape – and I’ve learned to be BRIC (Bumpy, Rough, Irritated, Clean) in a tidy cycle: cleanse, hydrate, heal, enjoy.

    Week 4: The Cryo Glow Adventure

    Picture this: you start with a cleansing routine that feels like washing away yesterday’s worries, followed by gentle exfoliation to smooth out any bumps. Then comes the star of the show—a serum that’s rubbed in using a CryoProbe, a cool little tech that vibes with your skin to drive the serum right where you need it.

    But we’re not done—enter the sheet mask, saturated in another serum, that slides over your freshly primed skin. The CryoProbe gives it a final chill, ensuring every drop is absorbed like a VIP at a spa party.

    Why Even? The Good Stuff

    • Hydration Hero: The cooling tech forces moisture into every crack and crevice.
    • Strength Boost: Vitamins line up to toughen up the skin.
    • High Sensitivity? Fear not: Perfect for those who have a delicate skin vibe.

    Results? Oh Yeah, Your Skin Will Thank You

    Your skin feels lighter than a feather, tightness takes a backseat, and the whole glow‑up makes for an even, radiant complexion. Those stubborn breakout spots? They’re fading faster than epic movie credits.

    In short, this treatment turns a routine into a spa ritual that delivers instant relief, harnesses the power of cold therapy, and makes you look and feel like you just walked out of a high‑end magazine spread.

    My Skin’s Glow‑Up Journey: From Clogged to Classy

    I’ve been following a pretty solid skincare routine for a while now, and after the first three weeks of treatments my skin finally looked like it belonged in a magazine. Pores? Nearly gone. Breakouts? Nope. The secret? A dairy‑free diet and a set of carefully chosen face spa sessions.

    Week Four: The Chill‑and‑Hydrate Combo

    When it came time for the fourth treatment, we slipped in a Cryo Therapeutics session as a maintenance kick‑starter. Think of it as a good old-fashioned ice bath for your face—super refreshing and excellent for calming irritation. On top of that, we made sure to give my skin a proper hydrating blow‑up, because, let’s face it, a dry glow is a major mood‑killer.

    Result: Skin looking like freshly unmasked soft‑silk. I felt like I could eat cake for breakfast without guilt…

    Week Five: The “Power Lift” Pizzazz

    Fast forward to week five, where everything still felt pretty normal. So why not spice things up? We scheduled the Instant Power Lift & Glow treatment. This gem is a secret weapon if you’re after that swooshy V‑face or an edgeier jawline—perfect for when you’re stepping out to look sharp at socials, parties, or even a photogenic wedding shoot.

    • Lift Magic: Light, non‑invasive, and feels like a quick boost of instant confidence.
    • Glow Boost: Adds a subtle, luminous sheen that turns heads in the best way.
    • Turnt Up, Got It: You’ll leave the chair looking like you’ve just stepped out of a runway.

    At the end of this session, my jawline looked more defined, and the face had that camera‑ready glow. The skin felt lifted, the pores were almost invisible, and the hydration was on point. I left the studio with a grin that said, “Hey, who’s that real? I am!”

    Bottom Line: Keep it Trendy, Keep it Fresh!

    Whether you’re a skincare newbie or a seasoned glam guru, a handful of these on-demand treatments can elevate your skin game. Skip the dairy, schedule a cryotherapy session, and then treat yourself to a power lift. Your face will thank you—and so will that photo‑sticker you’re making for your Instagram.

    Six Weeks of Cosmetic Glow‑ups

    What the Treatment Was Actually About

    First thing to note: no extractions were involved. Instead, they focused on lifting with a combo of brightening ampoules, oxygen infusion, and an electric probe. The whole idea was to tighten that jawline and give it a little lift without going full-on surgical.

    Progress at the Six‑Week Mark

    • Just five days after the fifth session, I booked the sixth one (yes, I broke the standard 7‑day rule).
    • It turns out the clinic wasn’t worried because the previous treatments were pretty gentle.
    • After the session, my jaw looks a tiny bit slimmer—tiny, but a tidy start.
    • Goal: gets the look really sharp, but the expert said “more sessions, more results.” The patience game begins.

    Scheduled Treatment Tips

    Generally, you’re encouraged to wait at least a week between sessions to let the skin recover. Think of it as giving your face a quick breather before the next pump‑up. But when life gets busy, it’s always worth checking with your provider—most of them are pretty flexible if things haven’t been too intense.

    Bottom Line

    Six weeks in, the science is working, my jaw is slimming down, and I’m ready to keep dancing to the rhythm of those lifts and brightening sessions. Stay tuned—we’re far from the end of the journey, but the future looks bright!

  • My Final Cryo Facial Adventure*
  • Why I Chose the CryoTherapeutics Treatment

    I wanted a grand finale — a last splash of deep‑hydrating magic paired with a frosty, refreshing chill. The CryoTherapeutics facial was my ticket to an intense hydration boost and a cool escape from the everyday hustle. After the session, my skin felt like it was getting a spa‑day treat it hadn’t had in ages.

    Was It Worth the Time?

    Weekly facials sound like the ultimate break from the grind, and they really are if you can fit them in.

    • Deadlines were piling up, and I had to scramble to find a slot.
    • Even during the appointment, I kept scrolling through work on my phone.
    • But booking was a breeze — just a quick call and someone was there to set the time.

    The practice is located at Robinsons The Heeren, easily reachable by bus, MRT or Grab. These are more specialized “medi‑spa” treatments rather than classic facials with a full face‑massage. The focus is purely on the skin, and most sessions wrap up in about an hour—late lunch or early afternoon, it’s doable!

    Did It Help My Skin?

    Would I do it again? Absolutely! Think of it like a pricey gym class that you love attending. Even though I get the theory behind facials, I only schedule them when my skin is glaringly in trouble or there’s a flare‑up. Doing so made me commit to proper skin care and reaped real benefits:

    • After a month, my complexion was noticeably brighter and even‑toned.
    • Scars from past breakouts faded to almost invisible.
    • One day I slipped out of makeup and my skin looked fresh—true!
    • How many times? I sprinkled makeup on four out of six days; but even then, the foundation walked smoothly without digging into dry patches.

    During the week‑long facial regime, I cut down on at‑home exfoliations and masks, freeing up time for Netflix binges and books. Now that the six sessions are over, I keep the glow alive with routine cleansing, regular exfoliations to keep pores clear, and occasional masks—just enough to maintain that post‑facial brilliance.

    Bottom Line

    If your schedule allows, this cryo‑boost can revamp your skin, give you a fresh look and ease your skincare routine. Even if you only go when your skin is “on fire,” the result is worth it—bright, smooth, and a few days at a time you can truly feel fabulous
