PDRN is one of the newest trends in beauty sector, a breakthrough technology that goes under the surface of the skin to treat it effectively- within minimum downtime. PDRN stands for Polydeoxyriboneuclotide, a substance harvested from Salmon DNA.  It is a powerful natural healing ingredient, and helps our skin in terms of wound healing, anti-inflammatory as well as promotes cell growth and regeneration.

I visited Renaza Wellness Lifestyle Lab at its other outlet, at Marina Bay Link Mall for a Collagen Facial (review here). I am glad to be back at Renaza to try the PDRN Booster (SGD$600.00); it's Orchard outlet is even more spacious and lovely.

Unlike Rejuran Treatment (review here) which injects PDRN directly into the skin, and can only be done by certified doctors, PDRN Renewal Treatment here uses a different method to administer the same 2ml of serum into the skin. This special serum comprises PDRN, hyaluronic acid, glutathione and peptides - powerful ingredients to heal and improve skin conditions.  Let's see how it works.

First, my skin was cleansed by the therapist, followed by a Honey and Almond Scrub that smelled really delectable. This would remove all impurities for better absorption of the treatment.

Then a Collagen Hydrating Mask was spread over my face for about 10 to 15 minutes, to prepare my skin for the treatment. The mask had a strangely aromatic smell that reminded me of sandalwood.

The Epicells Booster machine was rolled in. This uses air pressure forming a substantial jet wave to deliver the PDRN serum at 450m/s.  The high pressure opens pores to deliver the active constituents of micro-molecules deep into the skin through atomization. The therapist tested the jet out on my shoulder first, to ensure I was okay with the jet of pressure that would "smack" the serum into my skin. Then she covered my ears (because machine was a little noisy) and eyes.

Treatment commenced, jets of serum went "piak-piak" onto my face, felt like I was flicking it (mild prick but not painful). I was only afraid the strong jets would hit my eyes but the therapist was very meticulous with her work. She increased the speed of the jets delivery when I was comfortable enough.

The Epicells Booster Treatment serves to stimulate collagen production, regenerate cells, minimizing flaws (spots, scars, acne, wrinkles etc), brightens skin, lighten pigmentation, lifts skin, clears pores and sebum. That's a lot of benefits in one short 30 minutes procedure!

Half my face was done first, to show me the difference. After a total of 1,000 shots fired, treatment was completed.

My skin was hydrated, brighter and pores looked tighter. The differences between this PDRN Skin Renewal Therapy and Rejuran are that (1) this has very minimal downtime (2) hence, can be done on a weekly basis while Rejuran' s on month-long intervals (3) results are gentler than Rejuran (4) can be performed by aestheticians and beauticians  (5) less costly than Rejuran treatments.

All in all, I rather enjoyed the experience a d the way it makes my skin feel. Thank you Renaza Wellness Lifestyle Lab!

Review of Collagen Facial at Renaza Wellness Lifestyle Lab @ Marina Bay Link Mall

Renaza Wellness Lifestyle Lab has 3 outlets for facials, IPLs, derma-abrasion, massages etc, namely Palais Renaissance, Orchard Central and Marina Bay Link Mall. On top of that, they have other outlets providing aesthetic clinical treatments, nails, foot reflexology and TCM treatments, which pretty much covers all grounds from health to beauty.

I went for a Collagen Facial (SGD$210.00) at their Marina Bay Link Mall outlet, since my workplace is just in the vicinity.

The settings, while elegant and clinical at the exterior with its white and glass design showcasing a row of products on a long counter, contains touches of lush comfort within, with faux grass carpet beneath the seating area. Service of consultant and therapist were professional, friendly and sincere, from the phone calls to pre / post treatment - never without smiles on their faces. It made me feel very comfortable and at ease.

Before the facial session I filled out a form to declare skin issues (if any), which is standard procedure. After that, I was led to the rooms to get changed into a white sheath robe.

Therapist Ellese (coincidentally bearing similiar name to me) explained  the procedure to me while wrapping my hair up. First step was the infusion of hot lavender oil being "hovered" over my face from her palms, and with every movement the fragrance of the oil calmed me gently.

We moved on to cleansing thereafter. I asked her to keep my eyeliner intact - it was waterproof anyway so the masks wouldnt cause it to smear.

Diamond Peel followed thereafter, a light sensation of the suction working away on the layers of dead skin cells on my face. It was so gentle, yet purifying.

Next, gentle extraction took place, further purifying my skin. Anti-baceterial wipes ensued afterward, before a thorough massage with lavender oil. I loved the skillful stroked and kneads on my face while the lavender fragrance soothed.

Finally, Crystal Collagen Mask was applied onto my face, a thick, cooling layer working its way into rejuvenating my skin while I was put to rest for around 15 minutes.

The mask was being peeled off and light cleansing was done before Ellese applied moisturizer for me. The difference, as evidenced here (just after one session), shows significant improvement.

I enjoyed a warm cup of Lavender Tea while chatting with the consultant - no hardsell or un-dignified pushing of signing of packages. It was overall, a very enjoyable treat for my skin.
