Your guide for a Christmas glow up in Singapore: Facial treatments by the pros
1. EstheClinic
This holiday season, say hello to radiant skin with facial treatments from EstheClinic. Featuring French-patented, advanced skincare technology, these treatments will take skin glow to the next level. Give your skin a deep cleanse with hydrating treatments like AquaPure which will exfoliate, clear any impurities and reveal a brighter complexion. If a firmer and more sculpted visage is on your wishlist, look towards the radiofrequency and ultrasound cavitation treatments that target sagging skin.
Meanwhile, those dealing with acne scars or pigmentation can try the IPL acne technology to reduce dark spots and inflammation; or the IPL photorejuvenation that boosts collagen production and evens skin tone for that natural, healthy glow. Non-invasive with zero downtime required, these facial treatments make a convenient pick-me-up before the festivities. Pop by any of its four locations for a free, no-obligation consultation!
Perk alert: from now till 30 November 2024, enjoy all facial treatments mentioned above at $108 per session.

3. IDS Clinic
Looking for a skin fix without wrecking your schedule? Pico laser treatment might just be your new skincare bestie. This treatment’s all the rage for those after smoother texture and reduced pigmentation.
Known for zapping skin issues like pigmentation, scars, and even tattoos, the high-tech treatment uses ultra-fast energy pulses that hit your skin in picoseconds (yup, a trillionth of a second!). Unlike traditional lasers that rely on heat, Pico lasers work with a photomechanical effect to shatter pigment particles into tiny fragments, making them easy for your body to flush out naturally. The bonus? Minimal downtime and less risk of side effects, meaning it’s super safe and suitable for a variety of skin types and concerns. IDS Clinic’s piso laser treatment is totally versatile and can be applied to the face, neck, décolletage, hands and body.
IDS Clinic, approximately $450 per session, multiple locations including Novena Specialist Centre and International Buidling

The facial begins with a light lymphatic cleanse, gently detoxifying to prep the skin. Next comes the Chasing Rainbow pumpkin enzyme peel, a naturally sourced, organic formula that rejuvenates tired skin with brightness. For that extra sparkle, the facial’s signature waterdrop lift uses triple ultrasound technology to boost collagen and tighten skin, bringing a firmer, youthful look. Plus, with an added dose of heart chakra activation, this experience will leave you feeling as warm and radiant on the inside as you look on the outside.

Go 20 minutes to spare? Give your skin the gift of glow this season with Kew Organics’ Sugar K Signature Organic Peel. Perfect for busy urbanites, this treatment fits seamlessly into that small window you have during the Christmas prep period in Singapore, giving you a glow up of a full facial without extractions, pain, or downtime. It’s ideal for tackling clogged pores, blackheads, and dullness – leaving you with a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.
This organic peel combines natural ingredients like sugar cane, organic citrus fruit acids, and botanical extracts to gently buff away dead skin cells and brighten your skin’s surface. Think of it as a natural (and gentle) exfoliant, delivering tighter pores, reduced acne marks, and an enviable glow. Pop in for a bit and you’ll be back home soon with a holiday-worthy radiance that’s all your own.

It’s the ultimate wake-up call for tired eyes, blending cutting-edge skincare, advanced technology, and targeted massage techniques to revitalise the delicate eye contour. This exceptional treatment works wonders in smoothing fine lines, boosting circulation, and erasing signs of fatigue (aka the pre-festive prep), leaving you with an instantly brighter and refreshed appearance.
Mandy T’s carefully curated blend of ingredients is designed to hydrate, nourish, and firm the skin around the eyes, while gentle, manual massage techniques with her magical fingers increase blood flow and reduce puffiness. By combining skincare science with the rejuvenating power of touch, this therapy doesn’t just treat the surface; it also helps activate the skin’s natural repair processes. Whether it’s lack of sleep, stress, or a busy lifestyle, Mandy T’s Eye Rejuvenation Therapy offers a radiant reset, giving you a smooth, youthful look and a revived glow.
