HeidiN 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2011 [quote name='shawnjun' timestamp='1203654614' post='480006'] Hi, I really hope someone can give me some info about chemical peels or also known as microdermabrasion. I have suffered from acne scar all over my face. and I'm so depresed by it. I had been finding some info about it on-line but there are so few of info about it in m'sia. Is there any side-effect? How much will it cost? Where can I have it? (KL area) Will it be effective? I really hope someone can help me regarding this. Thanks you. [/quote] Chemical peel or CP and microdermbrasion or MD are two different things. CP uses acid (glycolic, salycic or lactic ) to exfoliate your skin and MD uses small crystals to exfoliate. Personally speaking from experience, I'd go for CP first, and MD for maintenance. You would want to do CP at the doctor's first, and once you are more knowledgeable, you can do some light peels at home. CPs are effective, they alleviate acne, acne scarring and promotes skin renewal. A peel can start from RM150 to rm1000 - depends on the strength. Dr.Ko is a good clinic, also Dr. Chea is SJ. Side effects of CP - minimal if you do it right - just remember to wear SPF50 every day because your skin would be sensitive to the sun - if you don't wear sunscreen you'll reverse the good side effects of CPs. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whiterose11 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 When I read about Dr Christina Cheah, I went for consultation and did microdermabrasion and microneedling there. I spent over 5k and now I finally realize that she's so overrated. I hope someone would share other practitioners' names with the rest of us. When I read that you guys bought those products from other doctors at much cheaper place, it makes me feel terrible about being her customer. I am not going back there. It's not the money problem. I just don't want to pay extra when I don't have to. I am sure there're quality doctors out there too, who are more sincere and are willing to explain on their products, not so much of just merely business people. I think that I went there because of the internet influence but when I experienced it myself... It's just overrated. OVERCHARGING. Microneedling needs quite some time to be performed actually. Guess what, she just quickly did her job, I think she just spent 5 minutes with me and then left me in the room. I signed up for the package and was treated like that. Plus the talking, I think she just spent 10 minutes of the whole 1 hour I spent there. And there goes my RM 600 per session??? Wow... The first time I went there, she was patient and talked to me. I think when I paid the full amount and signed up for the package, I feel like I didn't get the service that I deserve. I would probably get a better service if I didn't sign up for any packages. And you guys are so true. She's such a businesswoman. Now, to think of the experience, I think she was a bit pushy to get me to buy products that I didn't have to buy. Being a consumer, I wanted to know what it was. She was hesitant to tell me. End up, my aunt who accompanied me, just asked me to get them just because 'the doctor recommends so'. So just to tip you guys off, just don't get influenced by all the talking. And the worsttttttttttttt thing is that, I was so SHOCKED when she showed me other patients' pictures and said, "it's confidential but i'll share this with you"! I had the thought in my mind, what if she does the same with my pictures. I don't mind if people that I know of, see the pics. I just don't want her to simply show my pics to random strangers in her clinic. And now, I am even MORE SHOCKED when I read other forumer saying that Dr Christina Cheah showed other patients' pics to her. Does this mean, she share pics with everyone? Shocker!

proudzebra 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2011 Hi girls, I'm new here, but got interested after reading the conversation about laser treatments. I've been battling keloid for years (BCG Scar), I went for surgery to remove my BCG scar, only to have a bigger keloid forming. Now I regret!! Tried the injections, but it doesn;t work and am now looking at laser treatments. Read some stuff about fractional co2 laser treatment for keloids. Is that the best? Anyone has any experience with successful keloid removal? It's becoming quite uncomfortable.. I've given up wearing sleeveless, now I just want to reduce the "height" of the scare (if u know what i mean). Any recommendations/experience? Anyone? I've been searching for answers for years.. hope someone can help.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lutleah 0 Report post Posted November 3, 2011 Dr christina Cheah is not a speciliast but normak doctor,she has done a small diploma from singapore which is not recognised as a specilaist qualification,still charge more than qualified Skin Specilaist.My friend went to her for active acne and she advised vitamin C injection,doxycycline antibiotics which is very cheap cost only rM 30..00 for one month and did microdermation on the first the face all swelled up and was charged RM1000.00.When I asked a dermatologist about he was appaled.He says one cannot do microdermabration for active acne,it will spread the infection.Mircoderma is only done for the scars once the acne has subsided.Another of my friend spend nearly RM10,000.00 for microderma and microneedling at the same place but no improvement for the active acne.later saw Dr Ranjit and was cured with medication roaccutane which is reserved only for qualified skin speciliast but many G.P. also prescribe unofficially.Generally most of the normal doctors who do not have qualifications but call themselves dermatologist charge many times more because few patients and want to get rich fast.

Hackson 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) Yes, definitely. I did my MD n MN a year ago n spent a lot of money there. And I found a saloon only charge less than 1k for 5 session of MN. I'm shock! Coz I spent 3k on MN at dr christina there. And now my face get to normal coz serious breakout and whitehead, new scare appear. Everytime she does d treatment on me, she seems like trying to talk something to psycho me. For example, she talk with her staff said "Ms lim(other person) face getting better oledi after the injections". I was thinking, can u be concentrate. After finished the treatment her staff trying to approach me the new treatment. darn, it a typical sales strategy! It's been a long time I didn't visit her, coz not affordable. Poor!
