Many of us take for granted that we will have clear, acne-free skin once our painful teenage years are over.

But sadly, that isn’t always the case. Hormones, diet, lack of sleep, and environmental stressors can all take a toll on our skin, causing the occasional dreaded breakout.

If you've ever experienced pimples, zits, blemishes (or other ‘nicknames’ you can think of),  you know how painful and stubborn they can be – not to mention, the stress they cause to your well-being. 

That’s why when it comes to acne control, it’s best to turn to the experts at Astalift. Using innovative technology and specially-developed skincare products, the beauty brand offers the Multi-Modal Acne Eliminating Care Therapy, a treatment designed to get to the root of any acne-related skin issue you may have.

To put it to the test, we got the help of a GirlStyle reader to try the treatment. Read on to find out more about her experience undergoing Astalift’s 95-minute Multi-Modal Acne Eliminating Care Therapy!

From the age of 13, Xiaojie has suffered from acne, which naturally subsided during her post-teenage years. Now 23, Xiaojie still experiences the occasional hormonal breakouts that would leave post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) on her cheeks, chin and forehead. 

Coming into this facial treatment, her main goals were to manage the acne and address the uneven skin tones around the problem areas of her face.

Xiaojie’s session at Astalift first began with a skin assessment using a digital analyser. The results showed that her skin was dry and the sebum levels around the U and T-zones of her face were low. Dry, dehydrated skin tends to overcompensate by producing more oil, which can explain why Xiaojie typically has pimples on her forehead and chin.

After settling in, Xiaojie’s makeup was removed and her skin was thoroughly prepped for extraction. Unlike other facials where the extraction process can be painful, Astalift used the painless, low-frequency Aqua Micro-Jet System (AMS), which has tiny water jets and controlled vacuum suction to remove clogged pores around the congested parts of Xiaojie’s chin and nose.

Next was a relaxing facial massage to help with skin tightening and improve product absorption later on.

What followed next was the key step of facial treatment: Dynamic Pulse Light (DPL) and Rapid Pulse Technology (RPT). Together, these 2 controlled light and heat energies are the ultimate acne-fighting duo – they penetrate deep within the skin tissues to destroy acne-causing bacteria, reduce sebum levels, unclog pores, and promote skin repair. As painful as it may sound, fret not: your skin will be kept protected during this step, thanks to the cooling gel and crystal tip of the handpiece for a comfortable experience.

The next step of the treatment was LED therapy. The colour of LED varies according to each customer’s skin needs. For Xiaojie, blue LED was first used to soothe and alleviate her acne, followed by orange LED to help lighten dark spots and bring a glow to her complexion.

Finally, the treatment capped off with an invigorating scalp massage, followed by the application of Astalift’s Lunamer AC skincare line. Lightweight yet intensely hydrating, the Skin Conditioner and Gel-Cream are perfect for acne-prone skin as they contain key ingredients such as artichoke and bilberry leaf extracts to replenish skin moisture levels and boost its resilience against acne breakouts.

The results

Astalift recommends 6 to 10 sessions of the Multi-Modal Acne Eliminating Care Therapy but depending on each individual’s skin condition, customers can start seeing positive results after 3 sessions.

After one session, Xiaojie’s skin looked noticeably plumper and brighter, while her blackheads were gone and her pores less visible. More importantly, she remarked that acne-prone areas of her face – namely her nose and cheeks – “felt less congested and looked smoother”. 

Suffice to say, Xiaojie was thoroughly impressed by her Multi-Modal Acne Eliminating Care Therapy experience and is keen to continue her Astalift journey to acne-free skin.
