Skin Diary: Whitening Laser Treatment Review (for Minor Scars) at Glam & Fab Aesthetic Center

One of the biggest downsides of being fair-skinned is that scars take longer to heal (for me, at least) and they are also very noticeable because of the drastic difference in pigments! This has always been my struggle, especially when I deal with acne or when I undergo skin procedures.

When I had my mole removed in 2014, it didn't scar badly but it took a year for it to completely match the natural color of my skin. Last August, I went to Glam & Fab for a warts/skin tag removal treatment and usually, this process has no significant downtime at all. But because my skin heals slower than most people, I had to deal with dark spots (brown scars).

They are not pitted, so they are not serious scars at all. But I have to admit that they are extremely annoying especially because they look so obvious on my lighter skin tone. I consulted Glam & Fab as to what treatment they would recommend to address this problem. They recommended that I do the "Whitening Laser Treatment".

Procedure

Whitening? I was skeptical too at first because I personally don't like undergoing any treatments that would change my natural complexion. But as they have explained to me, this laser treatment aims to "whiten" dark spots to even out the complexion and deal with the spots left by the scars.

The treatment is very simple and it only takes around 15 to 30 minutes depending on the scale of the area you'd like to treat. Check my IG reels here to watch how the procedure is done. It basically just involves facial cleansing and then straight to the laser treatment.

Aftercare Serum

I'm advised to apply hydrocortisone cream twice daily for 5 days after the laser treatment as per usual. Then to help lighten the scars quickly, they gave me this serum that I should apply after the 5-day hydrocortisone streak.

I used this twice daily as well, one in the morning and one in the evening. I had no problems using this under makeup because this serum is super fast-absorbing! I think this helped so much with the scars so it made a perfect skin treatment companion for the laser treatment.

I'm in love with it and I've been using it regularly up until now.

3 months after the 1st treatment session

I wrote *2 months* in the photoset caption below because they were taken 2 months after the last whitening laser treatment. But basically, it's been 3 months since the 1st one I got.

I have no doubts about the results! The dark scars on my neck that would usually heal on their own for nearly a year were all gone in just 3 months! Of course, if you zoom in pretty closely, you'll still see some leftover marks. But they are barely noticeable compared to how dark they were in the beginning (refer to the first photo).

Price and How to Book

Here’s their price list! But their skin professionals will examine your skin first and the price will depend on how much warts are to be removed.

My current daily glam:

I use hot rollers to set my hair into 1940s big Hollywood curls. I use a vintage brush and comb to take it them down and really get into that vintage glamour mood. Do I put on some louboutin heels while I’m doing it? Yes. Why do you ask?

I’ve become a red lipstick wearer. Crazy how such a small change in this one detail of my makeup routine has made such a huge impact. I feel 10x more polished and put together when my lips are red. I’ve been a lip tint girl for so long that it felt crazy at first, but now that I’m used to it, I can’t go back ♥️

A cat eye and blushy cheeks are a must. I love looking rosy. Lashes when I feel like putting them on, simple brows, some concealer and a touch of powder. Easy but impactful.

My favorite part of my outfit is the thigh high stockings and garter underneath, especially when paired with a cute pair of panties. This has also become a daily thing for me and I am not going back. Skirt, dress, pants, pajamas, doesn’t matter. I love the gentle pull of the garter straps and I love seeing it peek out the top of my skirts, or just looking at it straight on in the mirror before I’ve put clothes on. I’m very leggy and wearing stockings and garters add such a huge va va voom. Literally obsessed.

My collection of vintage marabou heeled slippers is ever growing but I can’t help it! Click clacking around the house is way too fun. And when I’m wearing my long floor length robe and satin nightie it just feels so incredibly fab.

I always have something Chanel on. Chanel perfume has been my staple for years now, but I also love their body lotion, body wash, and (some) skincare items as well. Sunglasses, bag, shoes, something must be accounted for. I don’t know why but some cute Chanel earrings and a spritz of perfume puts me in my “on” mode, even if I’m staying at home. I’m just not quite done without a touch of something Chanel.

Skin Diary: Skin Tag Removal at Glam & Fab Aesthetic Center

I first realized the existence of warts (also known as skin tags) when I was 20, because the electrocautery procedure came with our health insurance card at that time and so I was entitled to get mine monthly/quarterly. So I had mine done at The Medical City that time and it already cost around 2,000pesos (This was in 2011!). Good thing I paid nothing because of our health card lol 

(Most recent photo I took a month after the procedure)

Fast forward to my recent visit at Glam & Fab, I had my skin fully examined. Turns out I have some on my jaw area, a few on my right temple, and my neck. They were all barely noticeable because they were flat and maybe because I’ve got lighter skin, so I never really thought about it that much. I wanted to get rid of them all so I decided to get the warts removal treatment at Glam & Fab’s Kalentong Branch.

Why should you do this regularly

I didn't know I had them at that time not until the dermatologist examined my skin. Warts are often harmless, and in my case, barely noticeable. But they can spread so it’s very important to address them immediately. You usually get them from skin to skin contact, even from the mere fact that you share things (clothes, towel, etc...) with someone who has them.

What to expect

It involves “burning” the skin tags off. But topical anesthesia will be applied an hour before the procedure.

It will hurt if you’re not used to skin treatments. If you have medium to high pain tolerance like me, it won’t bother you at all. To compare, it stings pretty much like laser set on high.

After clearing all the warts/skin tags, you’ll start seeing small scabs (and this is a good sign!)

I’m so thankful to the nurse assigned to me because she was so gentle with the process. She checked on me every single time to make sure I’m not feeling any discomfort. She’s so detailed that I think she got every little bit that needs to be removed! Even the ones I don’t even see!

Aftercare

Don’t wash the treated area for at least 12 hours.

Apply Erythromycin twice a day. You can get it from Glam & Fab Clinic as well.

NEVER EVER pick your scabs. Let them fall off naturally because it’s part of the healing process. Again, don’t pick them off or else you’ll slow the healing down and most likely cause scarring.

Skip any skincare product that has strong active ingredients for at least a week. (Retinol, Lactic Acid, Salicylic Acid, AHA/BHA). Just stick to a gentle facial wash and hypoallergenic/non-comedogenic moisturizer 

Healing Period

It takes around 3 to 7 days for the scabs to completely fall off. 

In some cases like mine, the scabs were all gone on the 3rd day, but the discoloration is still healing.

Healing time is different for every individual. My face is completely free of any marks from the warts removal in just two weeks. Although my neck still has some discoloration from the electrocauterization and it’s because my skin tags there were more prominent. It’s probably also because I have light (pale) skin, so the marks take longer to completely vanish. The rightmost photo is taken under broad daylight so you can see the marks still there, although they are beginning to lighten up and I’m gonna ask if I can laser them up on my next Glam & Fab visit. hihihi~

Here’s the most recent photo I took last August 9 and the marks are still there but barely noticeable. The ones on my face are all gone, just the marks around my neck. Note that I had my treatment last June 30.

it girl: queen of beverly hills

this girl went from a trailer park to well...a bigger trailer park. but shes the most fab bitch there with her pink dyed poodle and juvaderm filled lips. she learned to be glam from her grandmother, who passed down tips like always wear matching underwear in case of a car accident and never give out an accurate number of lovers. proudly trashy and cheap, but never mean-spirited.

lotion: VS strawberries and champagne smells like it wants to be fancy but just can't quite get there. a bubbly strawberry that brings the party.

perfume: prada candy gloss is a juicy sour cherry. it opens like sour candy before it settles down to a more lipglossy cherry scent. unabashedly flirty and fun.
