I Tried A $59 Brightening Facial That Uses Advanced Japanese Technology
In hopes of keeping my hormonal acne and hyperpigmentation in check, I started going for facials when I was a wee teen. Now, even at the age of 27, I still dread them because of how painful extractions can be. When the beautician uses the acne removal needles on my face, I’d grip the sheets tightly for dear life. Tearing up is a common occurrence, especially when I have acne outbreaks. As such, going for facials often feels more like a punishment that I have to endure rather than a relaxing treat.
So you can imagine my elation when I was presented with the opportunity to try ASTALIFT’s Multi-Modal Specialised Brightening Facial, which promised a completely painless extraction and the opportunity to lighten the acne scars that I’ve accumulated over the years. While scheduling my appointment, I learnt that ASTALIFT is owned by FUJIFILM.

As such, their skincare treatments are backed by beauty science and extensive research that span over eight decades. More specifically, advanced Japanese nanotechnology allows the beauty ingredients to penetrate the skin effectively, without any discomfort. Trust me when I say that I could hardly contain my excitement when I headed to their outlet at Raffles City for my appointment!

My beauty therapist kickstarted the treatment with a bubble cleanse to rid my skin of dirt and impurities. Then, she proceeded with the extraction by using a device that features an advanced low-frequency Aqua Microjet System (AMS). Powerful jets of fine mist were delivered to my skin surface to loosen clogs, cleanse pores, and exfoliate layers of dead skin. Brightening and anti-ageing ingredients were also gently infused into my skin.

My facial included the Perfect V-Lift Therapy, which is a multi-modal therapy that uses high-frequency oscillating sound energy on targeted layers within the skin. This promotes collagen production, makes the facial muscles more toned, and also increases the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

My beauty therapist applied ASTALIFT’s Skin-Conditioning White Jelly on my face before proceeding with the cryotherapy (cold therapy). This step helps to brighten your skin, targets visible signs of ageing, and offers a hydration boost by locking in moisture and nutrients.
Next, I got to select an elastomer mask of my choice. I followed my beauty therapist’s recommendation and went for the Whitening Deep Sea Mud mask, which felt cooling and luxurious against my skin. Soothed by the serene background music, which included birdsong and crickets chirping, I drifted into a peaceful slumber during this stage of the facial.

Apart from nanotechnology, this treatment process also utilises collagen technology to restore the skin’s youth, anti-oxidation technology for optimal protection against harmful UV rays, and liposome technology that significantly enhances the delivery of beneficial ingredients into the skin.

Immediately after the treatment, some parts of my face were slightly red. That is usually how my face reacts after a facial, so it was no cause for concern. The redness dissipated the next day and as you can see, my face became visibly fresher, more hydrated, and brighter two days after the treatment. My facial at ASTALIFT was a rejuvenating experience that opened my eyes to how enjoyable facials could be.
