The Copper Bromide laser is a high-tech machine that resolves skin problems.
Anna’s gentle hands glide, knead, slap, and massage my face in circular and upward motions, sometimes positioning her hands on my jaws and chubby cheeks. This promotes blood circulation and plump skin, she says. After this, different machines start to work their magic of endorsing and promising a healthy and porcelain-like complexion. Then, a relaxing facemask clay caps off my Korean facial experience.
Unlike the traditional local practice, Korean facials veer away from manually pricking one’s blackheads and acnes. The Cosmedics Dermaster clinic in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, uses stem cell and Cryo-lifting treatment machines, Aqua peel technology, facial massage, and clay mask in one procedure sans the piercing of one’s skin. This lasts for almost two hours. I felt like a K-pop star after.
With the Korean aesthetics slowly making impressions in the local beauty and wellness department, it is not surprising to see health and wellness centers to ride the waves on the latest machines from South Korea. The Copper Bromide (Cu Br) Laser and Ultra V-Lift machines for instance, are just one of the few technologies that are already available in the market. The Cu Br Laser is exclusively found in Cosmedics Dermaster while the clinic initiates the introduction ofUltra V-Lift technology in the country.
“The Copper Bromide is the first melasma-treating machine in the country that uses micropulses to evenly whiten one’s skin. It is originally from Korea and has only been here since last month (June). We also pioneered the introduction of the Ultra V-Lift, which is a non-invasive skin lifting procedure,” Dr. Alvin M. Jorge of Cosmedics Dermaster says.
The Copper Bromide laser is a high-tech machine that resolves skin problems like uneven skin tone, warts, scars, freckles, and acnes among others, quickly and effectively. It uses dual wavelengths (CVL and CBL) that equally distribute laser heat, which promotes skin whitening and tightening.
The machine works through the same principle of walking barefoot on fire where the heat is evenly distributed on the skin hence, the painless experience. An ultrasound gel is first applied on a clean face where the machine will smoothly glide on. The fleeting warm sensation ensures the effectiveness of the technology. An immediate improvement in appearance is very visible after the five-minute session. A minimum of five sessions guarantee a healthy and glowing skin.
Then, there is also the Ultra V-Lift technology that uses fine threads to lift a depressing or sagging skin. This technique from Korea uses absorbable threads that last for six to eight months. The threads injected on skin stimulate collagen production that lift wrinkles, define jaw lines, nose, and forehead, and tighten arms, abdomens, and breasts.
Dr. Jorge says that there is a growing fashion in beauty enhancements and a seemingly wish to pattern one’s skin after the Korean’s flawless and blemish-free complexions. “This is becoming a trend in the Philippines and is now already accepted by the society,” Jorge explains.
The Cosmedics Dermaster Aesthetic Center mandates a patient to a comprehensive skin-analyzing machine that assesses one’s skin type and problems and what procedure will best answer the problem.
