Ardmore Aesthetics - Onda Coolwaves BodySculpting [Review]

9/22/2019

 
With advancement in technology, there's no longer a need to undergo surgical liposuction for permanent fat reduction. Onda Coolwaves is the latest permanent fat reduction treatment in the medical aesthetic scene. Using special microwaves that selectively target fat cells and reduce localized fat deposits in a safe, effective and non-invasive way, the fat cells are broken down and detoxed out of your body in two to four weeks after treatment. 

Picture
I went to Ardmore Aesthetics at Wheelock Place (the shrine of beauty treatments) on 27 August 2019, three weeks before this review, so I'm hoping the effects of breaking down and detoxing my fat cells will continue. 

The place was beautifully and recently renovated, and the color scheme of nude and burnished gold colors are classy and relaxing.

They also provide a box for you to safety stash your belongings away without fear, and excellent customer service that's warm and welcoming.

I brought the booklet home and scanned it!
I know microwave sounds scary, but the smart device includes a high-tech skin cooling system that cools the skin as it counterbalances the heat issued by the microwaves. This protects the derma, and ensures patient comfort while reducing risks, inflammation and side effects. If you compare this technology to Radiofrequency (RF) treatments that are still being offered at most places, the ONDA Coolwaves is definitely more effective at targeting fat cells.

I was advised that there may be some heating sensation and to tell them if the pain is unbearable. Honestly I only felt it getting warm after around 15 minutes into the treatment. And you can see in the video below that my skin wasn't red. The "hot-zone" was deeper inside while my skin remained cool, which reassured me that the treatment was targeting the subcutaneous fat.
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmical massage treatment performed to stimulate the circulation of lymph fluid around the body. This helps to rapidly speed up the removal of wastes and toxins from a sluggish lymphatic system. And I didn't even know it was included in the treatment! It's meant to help  the detoxing process that's supposed to happen in the two to four weeks following treatment where the fat cells are broken down and passes through our body naturally. 

There was no downtime, and the warm feeling dissipated after 30 minutes (before I got home).

Scanned brochure that you want to have
Coolwaves targets 3 main body concerns, namely adipose fat cells, cellulite and skin laxity.
  1. Localized Fats: Coolwaves is able to deeply disrupt the membranes of subcutaneous fat cells safely and effectively.
  2. Cellulite: Coolwaves effectively target the connective tissue between the adipose lobules in the more advanced stages of cellulite.
  3. Skin Tightening : Coolwaves induce an immediate shrinkage of the collagen fibers in the dermis and stimulate the production of new collagen, making tissue more compact and toned.

The treatment has been tested extensively and if you refer to the three provided images above (also scanned), the number of sessions and the post-treatment detox process and results differ from person to person.

​The Onda Coolwaves treatment is supposed to have optimal results after two to four treatments. I only tried it once, but could nonetheless feel that the treated area had become slimmer and firmer (I still have stubborn fats that have always been impossible to get rid of).

Like most girls, I've tried many slimming and firming treatments and methods, but this treatment is actually the most effective I've experienced thus far in the never-ending  road of achieving a better body. 

Coupled with a  healthy (or at least moderated) diet and exercise, your slimming attempts will yield much better results! I'm also striving to have a better balance but... =')

For the first trial, currently has an offer

1-for-1 GRID
Usual Price: $400 for the first grid

(it's a zone measurement of around 15cm*15cm)
This works out to a whopping 50% off!

I have no idea when the trial promotion will end, so please give them a call to enquire and make your reservation!

Hana K Food [Review] Bibimbap Feature

9/14/2019

 
Picture
This is the second time we've been to Hana K Food at Novena Velocity, both times because there's race pack collection, and we went to True Fitness and worked out before this meal to feel less guilty. 

Got loads of people asking about it after I posted the instastory (and tagged the location), so I figured it wouldn't hurt putting this review out here. 

Tadah! #NotSponsored

But the last time we came we ordered a beef stew and the same spicy tofu soup (I love my sundubu jjigaes).

The last time we had the spicy tofu soup with seafood (standard choice), but thought I'd try the pork today, and it did well! 

Got the husband to try to Bibimbap... Actually I just went ahead and ordered it. xD
You have the option of adding pork, beef or chicken to the Bibimbap, and he said he used to not eat Bibimbap because he thought it was vegetarian food.
Hmm, it IS if you just order the usual one I suppose? 
Picture
Prices aren't unreasonable considering it's a restaurant, so it's pretty decent. 

Picture
The Bibimbap came with a miso soup (that's cold?)... but surprisingly sweet. I suppose it contrasts and helps diversify the flavours.

For Hana K Food the Bibimbap sauce came separately in a squeeze bottle so you can decide how much you want to mix in. It's not a bad thing I suppose, and I erred on the side of healthy and decided to put just enough. 

Though my arms were tired from gym, had to work my right arm even more mixing the Bibimbap for quite some time until it manages to look like this. Happy though. Metal bowl, metal spoon, totally Korean Drama style like when they scavenge for supper and always end up eating this. 

Anyways ignore the miso soup mentioned earlier (right of this picture on the right) .
The spicy tofu soup came with four side dishes and a packet of seaweed to go with your rice. I super love the seaweed with the rice. Like, definitely buying it if I ever see if it at NTUC. The side dishes aren't "fixed", but you get them them refilled... so we got slightly different stuff the second time. But the seaweed/carrot/cucumber in the unknown red sauce is really nice. 
Picture

All in all, I felt that Hana K Food isn't really "commercialised" even though it's a restaurant. Kind of like how Ootoya is like home cooked Japanese food, this really feels like Homey Korean Food that's not too pretentious. They of course have the wide range of ramyeon, army stew, other soups etc, but they don't have barbecued meats or fried chicken etc. Very healthy. 

Also, the entire restaurant was full of Korean patrons other than us. Staff were also Korean. That gets them the authentic Korean food stamp of approval isn't it? 

The one I went to was at:
#02-25 Velocity @ Novena Square, 238 Thomson Rd, Singapore 307683
It's at a corner near the Adidas outlet store. 

And there's another at 
i12 Katong, so knock yourself out at this healthy Korean home-cooked food place!

Huangjisoo Pure Perfect Cleansing Oil @ Waseyo

9/1/2019

 
The Huangjisoo Pure Perfect Cleansing Oil has Jojoba Oil, Green Tea Seed Oil, Apricot Seed Oil and Evening Primrose Oil.

Features of Note:
1. Light Weight SubstancePowerful oil to rid the skin of harmful substances while not being greasy and thick 


2. 98% Natural IngredientsExtracted from nature and is gentle on delicate skin. I can’t figure out why 98% instead of 99% which is what most other products will claim if they’re not pure, but at least they’re being honest!

Picture
3. 7 Premium Oils
Purely oils and no water for skin nourishment and makeup removal

4. Hypoallergenic 
Specially formulated for ultra sensitive skin after extensive testing

Interesting thing about it is it's legit pure oil, so there's no need to shake the bottle to mix whatever is inside the remover like the ones I've tried in the past. For unbeknownst-to-me reasons it also feels less oily compared to the shake-mixed kind of oil cleansers. 


The pros: It doesn't have any chemical smells, is an All-in-One cleaner that does Deep cleansing, Sebum control and Moisture Balance. After I applied it was able to easily remove waterproof makeup. 

Cons: Probably just me, but also just like the other oil cleansers I have tried, the oil gets into my eyes and coats my contact lenses. I'm probably just clumsier than the average person. 

​All in all, a good and light oil cleanser!

It's available at Waseyo website both in full sized and trial!
