Step aside designer bags, there’s a new way to achieve that Chanel-level radiance! This innovative injectable treatment using NCTF® 135HA solution has become a hit in Korea, rumored to be a favorite among celebrities. Unlike a splurge on the latest Chanel bag, this “Chanel Injection” promises lasting results and a youthful complexion. I recently tried it myself, and here’s what my experience was like…The serum is packed with concentrated hyaluronic acid, renowned for holding 1000 times its weight in water. This deeply hydrates and re-densifies the dermis, reactivating fibroblast activity to boost collagen and elastin production.
Youthful Appearance: Restores the skin’s youthful look by rejuvenating its natural glow.
Wrinkle Reduction: Effectively smooths out fine lines and wrinkles.
Deep Hydration: Provides intense moisture, revitalizing dry skin.
Brightening Effect: Achieves visibly brighter and more radiant skin.
Elasticity and Firmness: Improves skin elasticity and firmness, making it look and feel more resilient.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CHANEL INJECTION?
Comfort first! A numbing cream is applied to make the experience as relaxing as possible. The treatment itself involves using tiny needles to inject the NCTF® 135HA solution into the deeper layer of your skin (the dermis). This creates tiny pathways for the product to be absorbed more effectively, giving your skin a boost from the inside out. Even better, these benefits extend to strengthening your skin’s natural barrier! While most areas are easily treated, some folks with extra-sensitive spots (like the area between your nose and lips) might feel a bit more.
I was in the expert care of Dr. Law Zhi Wei, who made the entire procedure seamlessly comfortable. It is crucial that this treatment is performed by a professional at a licensed clinic to ensure proper protocols and pre- and post-treatment care.
Are There Any Side Effects?
For most conditions, there is no expected downtime. Personally, I did not experience any redness or mild swelling. However, in some cases, slight redness and mild swelling can occur initially, which will soon transition into younger-looking skin. You can resume your daily activities immediately after the session.
After Thoughts
The Chanel Injection is ideal for beauty enthusiasts of various ages, especially those concerned with signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and textured skin. Since undergoing the treatment, my skin looks brighter, and friends have noticed fewer fine lines, particularly between my cheeks.
The number of sessions required depends on your skin condition, with more sessions needed for stubborn issues to achieve optimal results.
Can’t decide between Chanel Injection and JuveLook? Here’s a quick breakdown to help you choose!
Looking for a youthful glow? The Chanel Injection might be your pick. It uses a special solution (NCTF® 135HA) to target wrinkles, boost radiance, and deeply hydrate your skin – think of it as a total anti-aging refresh!
**More focused on firmness and hydration? JuveLook might be a better fit. It dives deeper into your skin to stimulate collagen production, which improves elasticity and keeps your skin plump and dewy.
Ultimately, both treatments aim for gorgeous skin, but they take different approaches. Chanel Injection tackles visible signs of aging, while JuveLook works its magic from within.
Still unsure? No worries! Do your own research or chat with a doctor to find the best option for your skin goals.
Even though Pico Laser and Profhilo treatments have been great for my skin rejuvenation journey, I am still on the lookout for the latest advancements in skincare technology to maintain my youthful glow. JuveLook had been the talk of the town when it comes to innovative treatments for skin rejuvenation and restoration. So, when my aesthetics clinic in Singapore, The Clifford Clinic introduced this, I knew it is time to experience its recommended benefits firsthand.
JuveLook takes skin boosters to the next level. It’s the first to combine PDLLA, hyaluronic acid, and a new technology called 3L micro-collagen, all in a light formula. This unique blend goes beyond just boosting collagen. It also improves your skin’s texture. JuveLook works gently over time to brighten and smooth your skin, giving you natural-looking results.
Experience a youthful transformation with JuveLook. Its unique formula rewinds the signs of aging, restoring elasticity and texture for a radiant, hydrated complexion.
JuveLook also targets your delicate eye area. This powerful periocular treatment minimizes puffiness, dark circles, and fine lines, leaving you with a refreshed look.
Embrace younger-looking skin that lasts. JuveLook minimizes fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores, while fading acne scars for a smoother, more flawless appearance.
This innovative treatment is a non-invasive alternative to a facelift. Using a gentle injector gun and fine microneedles, Juve plumps your skin, delivers intense hydration, and stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. This powerful combo tackles a variety of concerns, leaving you with fewer acne scars, smoother skin, and a radiant glow, all without going under the knife.
Prior to the procedure, a topical anesthetic cream will be applied to numb the treatment area, minimizing any discomfort that you may have during the process. The numbing effect takes place after 20 minutes while the whole treatment process took within 30 minutes.
The entire experience was pleasant, especially knowing I was under the expert caré of Dr. Gerard Ee. I am thrilled to share my before and after treatment photos showcasing the skin transformation. Personally, I noticed a significant improvement in skin elasticity and hydration after the treatment.
I could feel the instant hydration boost as my skin is usually very dry. The results have been nothing short of amazing, instilling me with newfound confidence to flaunt my bare face.
Sharing photos taken after the treatment. Typically, I don’t wear makeup as I prefer a bareface look. This also allows me to observe the difference after a session of JuveLook treatment.
If you are considering this treatment, I highly recommend consulting with Dr Ee for a tailored approach that addresses your specific skin concerns. Say goodbye to dullness and hello to a radiant, youthful glow that captures the beauty of every moment.

Started a new chapter with The Clifford Clinic a few months ago. I find myself facing the common challenge of weight management, which is something many office professionals can relate to. On top of that, I always attend food tastings after work, which has made it even more difficult for me to shed those extra pounds. Since the post-Covid period, I have noticed significant weight gain, particularly around my abdominal area. In light of this, I consulted Dr Gerard Ee, of celebrity clinic – The Clifford Clinic and he suggested CoolSculpting, a fat-freezing weight loss treatment for me.
CoolSculpting is a non-surgical procedure that removes stubborn-to-shift pockets of fat with zero downtime by freezing it, unlike with more drastic measures such as liposuction, the results are permanent.
How and why does it work?
The fat-freezing technology of CoolSculpting uses controlled cooling, known as Cryolipolysis, to target, freeze and kill fat cells.
It works by ‘freezing’ the fat cells where the fat is to be removed (but nerves and other body tissues are kept intact) using an applicator for 1-2 hours. Once the treated fat cells are frozen, they die and naturally processed and eliminated from the body and gone forever.
What does CoolSculpting feels like?
You may feel slight discomfort at the start of the treatment when the cooling begins, which may last for a few minutes. It gradually eases and many people proceed to sleep, watch videos or work after.
Where are the possible treatment areas?
Common areas that CoolSculpting treatments cover as follows:
Stomach and abdomen
Bra fats
Arms
Thighs
Back bulge
Love handles and flanks
Under Buttocks (Banana roll)
Double chin
How many treatments are required?
It will depend on a combination of several factors such as:
How much fat reduction is required.
How your body responds to the treatment
Individual expectations
Recommended at least 8 to 12 weeks between sessions to achieve the best results.
Benefits of CoolSculpting?
Safe
Natural-looking results
Convenient and comfortable
FDA approved.
Performed by licensed medical professionals.
When will I see the results?
Results will usually be visible within 1-5 months. Typically results will peak in the 2nd or 3rd month. It is said that each session decreases the number of fat cells in the treatment area by about 20%.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment will feel like a “pull and tug”. The Coolsculpting machine “pulls” the treatment area to the cooling panels of the applicator to ‘freeze’ the fat efficiently. The discomfort is mild, and most people still find it comfortable enough to work on other activities.
Is there any downtime?
The treated area will mostly feel a little sore but not too painful. You should be able to resume normal activities immediately.
My Experience
My CoolSculpting journey began with a consultation with Dr. Gerard Ee, where I expressed my concern about my troublesome stomach area. The doctor carefully assessed my needs and identified the areas where fat reduction was required. It is essential to consult with a medical professional before deciding on any treatment, as they can create a personalized plan to help you achieve your desired results.
After the consultation, I proceeded to the treatment room for my session. The therapists marked the positions on my stomach where the CoolSculpting applicators would be placed. This marking step is crucial because it ensures that the applicators are precisely positioned in the areas that need sculpting the most.
Next, a special cool gel sheet was placed over the marking, where the applicator would be placed. The gel sheet acts as a barrier between the CoolSculpting machine and my skin, ensuring that the skin is protected during the treatment. Moving on the machine was properly positioned and placed over the marking. I could feel slight discomfort initially and slowly went numb with it. I took a short nap and the 1 hour treat just flew by.
Upon completing the treatment, the machine emitted a beeping sound. This indicates that it was time to remove the applicator. The therapist then performed a deep massage on the treated area to help expedite the breakdown of the frozen fat cells. I must say that the massage was the most uncomfortable part of the treatment, and I would rate it a 3/10 in terms of discomfort.
In the days following the treatment, I felt some soreness in the treated area. But overall, I was able to resume my daily activities without any major disruption.
I experienced two sessions and based on my own personal assessment; my stomach fats have significantly reduced. Each session is meant to eliminate up approximately 20% of the fat cells. The most noticeable change after the treatment is I feel my tummy is not as bloated as before. The tummy is still there but I can see a sizable difference. It is not unexpected as we react to treatments differently.
Overall, CoolSculpting can be excellent for specific areas of the body that are prone to extra fat. For my situation, one session is not enough to see significant change and that I would need to continue my sessions to get rid of the stomach fats. It is an investment for myself.
If you have the intention to go for this treatment, you can check out The Clifford Clinic for a consultation to see if CoolSculpting is the right option for you.

REVIEW
The whole treatment process was quick and smooth. First up is the application of numbing cream to take effect. I waited for approximately 20 minutes before the treatment starts. The doctor was very gentle and patient with me. The good thing about Profhilo is that I can walk out of the clinic without anyone realizing that I just did the treatment. It did hurt to be honest. The pain level is about 6/10. I was kindly given a stress ball to squeeze if I experience any discomfort. So, it was not that bad after all. The most sensitive injections were those near my lips and eyes as the skin in thinner and more sensitive.
There were some tiny bumps like small mosquito bites after the treatment but it went off by end of the day. I was lucky because my friend’s bumps lasted for a few days. Thus, it really depends on individual skin profile. My result can be seen as early as 1 week after the treatment, and it is said the best results seen at one month following the treatment.
One Month After The Treatment
True enough, Profhilo helps smoothen and tighten my skin. I can feel the changes after a week. It stimulates collagen production naturally and provides a deep long-lasting hydration giving the skin a glowing natural look. My skin looks hydrated, and I can feel it, especially when I wake up in the morning. My sisters also noticed the difference on my overall skin radiance.
Is Profhilo Worth It?
I would say yes and no. Reason being is that it is an effective and fancy skincare product that is injected into your skin, rather than applied on daily. The result is effective as compared to your daily skin routine. The only downside is the maintenance cost of the treatment. If you are as vain as me, then it is a Yes! So, it all boils down to your budget.

It has been almost 3 months since I did my double eyelid surgery with Dr. Timothy Shim from The Clifford Surgery clinic. Thankfully, the progress has been very smooth right from the start. For those who have known me for the longest time know that I have concerns over my monolid eyes. I have a habit to try enlarge my eyes to make it bigger when I take photos. My friend also encouraged me to do something to my eyes and I finally made the decision to undergo double eyelid surgery. Read More
