Away with Flabby Arms

Although VASER LipoSelection or VASER Hi Def (VHD) are treatments that can easily remove excess fat from selected parts of your body, it doesn't mean we can stop exercising or continue eating junk.

Follow these tips to maintain the beautiful body you have achieved through VASER Lipo. (Source: Woman Plus, Vol. 2, April 2009, Pg. 23)

1. You are what you eat
A balanced diet and good nutrition is the first step to leaner arms. For those who can't resist snacking and junk food, start by cutting down on those and try eating smaller meals each time. If you really need to munchm, go for nuts and berries instead.


2. Hit the gym
The arm area is one of the hardest places to lose fats. As much as we're tagged to the idea of losing / maintaining weight without exercising, it won't happen. If your arms are the main concern, increase the frequency of arm training twice a week and not more. In this case, more is not necessarily better. Muscles need about 48 to 72 hours to recuperate after traiing before the next session to avaoid over training.


3. Go the DIY way
Can't make it to the gym? Try these exercises at the comfort of your own home.

To work those biceps: Hold a dumbell (or 1kg bag of rice) with palm facing forward and curl it up to you. Perform 20 - 30 repititions then switch to the other arm. Repeat 2 - 4 sets.

To work those triceps: Grab the dumbell with both hands. Raise them high above the head. From here, slowly bring the hands down to the back part of the head and extend it up again. Perform 20 - 30 times and repeat for 2 - 4 sets.

Product Tip - SPF30 & Deep Cleanser

Are you a user of NeuGlow's SPF 30 sunblock and Deep Cleanser? If so, please keep in mind NOT to re-bottle the product on your own (i.e. Do not pour out the product into a different bottle. Always use the product from the original bottle itself).

The sunblock and Deep Cleanser are made of very unique and special ingredients. By pouring out the contents into another bottle, some of the ingredients may lose its potency and effectiveness.

Deep Cleanse: For oily / acne skin
SPF 30: For all skin types

BOTOX Fun!

Im posting this video because it shows a real close up of how BOTOX is done on the forhead. It reduces the multiples forehead lines, gets rid of the frown lines between the eyebrows and basically makes you look less angry and younger.

BOTOX is not very painful. As you can see, the needles are so tiny. Kinda like diabetic needles you know?

BOTOX injection generally last about 4 to 6 months. The full effect of BOTOX is clearly visible after about 2 weeks. So here's the video for you...Enjoy BOTOX! Feel young & refreshed again. You won't regret it.

New Clinic Coordinator at Novena Square 2 Clinic

Congratulations to Miss Regina Goo (SRN), our newly promoted Clinic Coordinator! Regina is now the nurse in charge of NeuGlow at Novena Square 2.

If anyone would ask me what Regina is like, I'd say...

I don't work directly with Regina, but from what I know, Regina is a very organised person. She is neat and tidy. She is able to plan her work well and i believe such skills are useful when she has to manage a clinic. Regina is also a makeup advisor, so she can give good GloMinerals cosmetics tips *(go bug her with all your questions =P)* Anyway, I wish Regina all the best! Good luck and keep up the good work. =)

Sun:Soul apparels come in the Yelomod version, and the bluemod version. Yelomod for skin rejuvenation and Blumod to kill acne bacteria and treat blemishes.

What is Yelomöd?
Yelomöd is the latest product by the Sun:Soul team that uses fluorescenttechnology to deliver the benefits of the sun’s healthy yellow rays to your skin while protecting from harmful UV· Yellow light is well known to promote skin rejuvenation by smoothing skin, improving skin tone & reducing wrinkles or skin discolouration due to aging or sun damage· Yelomöd is a perfect compliment to your clinic visits for conventional treatments, as it helps maintain medical treatment results.

How much sunlight is required to rejuvenate skin?
Average 2 hrs/week in the sun wearing the yelomöd/blumod products· This exposure will deliver about the same dose of yellow/blue light as one would receive in a medical spa or plastic surgeon's office from a light device.

CozyCot Exclusive (BOTOX Masseter Reduction) Winner

Announcing the results of the lucky CozyCot member who won the "BOTOX Masseter (Jaw) Reduction" treatment...

This lucky lady is *(drum rolls)* Diana Charlotte Khoo *(applause)*, age 25.

Diana was treated by NeuGlow's Medical Director, Dr Gerard Tan. Dr Tan injected BOTOX into Diana's jaw line. After one and a half months, here's the results *(drum rolls again)*...

Before & 1.5 Month After BOTOX Jaw Reduction

Here is what Diana had to say after her treatment:

"I always appear fat in most photos and had been contemplating botox to slim down my face. However, I had put it off for sometime till I saw the NeuGlow banner ad in Cozycot, and I decided to just give it a try. I was elated to receive a call from NeuGlow a few days later, notifying me that I had won the BOTOX® masseter reduction treatment. The thought of being able to achieve a slimmer face thrilled me even more.

It being my first time going for an aesthetic procedure explained the fact that I was a bundle of nerves when I reached the NeuGlow clinic. However, I soon calmed down after speaking to their staff and Dr Gerard Tan who was patient in explaining and answering whatever queries I had regarding the procedure. He also showed me the results his past patients got after receiving the BOTOX® masseter reduction treatment. After seeing those photos, I could not wait to get my treatment done.

The entire BOTOX® masseter reduction treatment was quick and minimally painful. The nurse numbed the area to be injected with ice and then I was given two jabs on each side of the jaw. Everything was so fast, it probably took less than five minutes! I was told that results would be more visible 6-8 weeks later.

It is currently the 7th week and I saw the difference when I went back for a review with Dr Gerard Tan who showed me a before and after photo of me. My face no longer look as huge and squarish as before. I had a touch up done and I can't wait to see my face
slim down even more.

On the whole, I am extremely pleased with the results so far. I would also recommend NeuGlow to my friends and family due to the pleasant experience I had over there.

Thank you NeuGlow and CozyCot for this opportunity!"

BOTOX can treat many other common imperfections. The table below summarises the various ways BOTOX can be applied.

VASER Hi Def - Press Release

MEDIA RELEASE



Introducing VASER® Hi Def

Singapore – NeuGlow The Aesthetics Doctors, a leading aesthetics group with a distinguished history of providing aesthetics medicine in Singapore now offers VASER® Hi Def, a technique using VASER technology, focusing on the precise removal of superficial and deep fat around muscle groups in order to enhance the visibility of the underlying musculature.

The VASER® Hi Def (VHD) technology enables the application of lipoplasty techniques to the superficial fat layers. Differential lipoplasty has been used to detail abdominal musculature by “abdominal etching,” but was applicable only to limited areas in male patients with low body fat.

The use of VASER®-assisted high definition liposculpture to not only improve body contour but also to highlight the 3-dimensional muscular anatomy in a wide variety of patients.

VASER® Hi Def (VHD) is an advanced form of LipoSelection where shadows and curves are deliberately created during VASER® to give the impression of muscular definition. More than just removing fats, we can create muscle definition with VHD. Giving you the look of having been gyming for 10 years. This is not the same as "etching" of the skin during older liposuction techniques. Both men and women who are reasonably fit are suitable for VHD. But success is seen most in otherwise gym-fit* individuals and in those with moderate amounts of subcutaneous fat.

*Patients need to be gym-fit to be able to continue with exercise and maintain the muscular definition. Often, VHD gives one the motivation to go back to the gym again after some years of neglect, and a renewed quest for a beautiful body. The people whom one might least expect to have liposuction benefit most from VHD. Personal trainers, gym fanatics and models make up 70% of our clients for VASER® Hi Def.

Grow Your Lashes Naturally with RevitaLash

It all began because a husband wanted to give his wife a very special gift...

RevitaLash™ was developed by Dr. Michael Brinkenhoff as a special gift for his wife, Gayle, while she was recovering from breast cancer. Intensive chemotherapy treatments had damaged Gayle’s once-beautiful eyelashes, leaving them sparse and thin.

Based upon his knowledge and experience as a practicing ophthalmologist for over 25 years, Dr. Brinkenhoff believed that he could develop a formula that would give Gayle’s eyelashes renewed health, strength and beauty.

After extensive research, Dr. Brinkenhoff, together with a talented team of cosmetic chemists, created a products that truly gave renewed vitality to Gayle’s eyelashes.

It was just what the doctor ordered.

How to Use?
Like liquid eyeliner, apply RevitaLash® once a day to the base of the eyelashes (upper & lower eyelids). Within 60 days, your own natural eyelashes will look as though they had extensions!

And now, time for a Korean commercial break...LOL!
