Review: SkinStation 4D Quattro Underarm Laser

Skin Type: 
- combination and sensitive
Age/Gender: 
- 26/F
Current Skincare Routine:
- for underarms: deoplus powder and belfour (alternatively)
Main Concerns: 
- underarm hair, chicken skin, hyperpigmentation, and eczema

First time ko magpa-laser ng underarms. Previously, tyani at wax lang ako. Last na pa-wax ko ay May sa LayBare, nagkasugat at ingrown ako right after, medyo masakit mag-pluck ‘yong last na gumawa sa akin. Wala na ako ginawa since nagsugat ‘yong left underarm ko at nagkaroon ng hyperpigmentation.

Anyway, nag-walk in lang ako SkinStation near me. Gumawa na ako ng account sa kanila days bago ako pumunta. Tinanong ko kung tumatanggap ba sila ng walk in or by appointment, pwede naman daw walk in. The receptionist was nice and very accommodating, lahat ng inquiries ko regarding sa procedure ay nasagot naman niya. Hiningi niya lang ‘yong number ko to check my details sa system nila.

Once I agreed with the procedure, nagpa-sign na muna siya ng patient details including allergies, if taking medications, previous aesthetics done, and patient consent form.

Afterwards nagbayad na ako, medyo nag-e-error lang ‘yong POS nila, but okay lang since ako lang ang tao nong dumating ako.

I waited for less than 5 minutes, tinawag na ako for procedure. Pinagpalit ako ng pang-itaas into patient gown. ‘Yong technician na nag-assist sa akin ay mabait naman. Una muna niyang nilinis ‘yong underarms ko, next ay shinave tapos nilagyan na ng gel.

Since first time ko, I was not aware if masakit ba ‘yong procedure. Medyo nakakapaso at mahapdi para sa akin, kinabahan agad ako kasi naisip ko na baka masugat ‘yong underarm ko. So tinanong ko if normal lang na masakit, normal lang naman daw dahil nag-ppenetrate hanggang sa roots. After niya matapos, nilinis niya lang ‘yong gel sa underarms ko tapos may pinahid siya kaso I cannot remember what it is called. Parang anti-inflammatory something.

Gusto niya bumili ako non kaso out of stock daw sila. She made me buy their SoGentle cleanser, I asked if okay lang ba na baby soap ang gamitin. Mas okay raw kung ‘yong SoGentle kasi ‘yon daw recommended ng doctor nila. She told me na siya na ang magsasabi sa receptionist. She gave me the SoGentle for sensitive skin.

One week ko raw gamitin ‘yong sabon, after 6-8hrs pa pwede magbasa ng kilikili, at after 12 hrs naman daw pwede mag deodorant.

Product: 4D Quattro Wave underarm laser
Price: 2,300 (promo price 2 sessions)

Rate on product: 3/5 masakit but tolerable. Wait ko muna kung gaano katagal tutubo ang buhok
Rate on technician: 4/5 (may naiwang buhok, hindi na-shave nang maayos)
Rate on receptionist: 5/5

How do I get rid of these?

Moreno, Male, 18YO; Skincare: Cetaphil lotion and sunstick from Japan in that area of the body

Main Concern:
I had these white spots that turn red when I am sweaty after sports. I had them checked up but was not able to go consistently due to it being pretty expensive. They say it is not harmful. It does not itch or irritate my daily lifestyle naman.

I need advice to get rid of them naturally if there is any way. Any recommendations will be appreciated especially when you yourself have experienced this as well.

Thank you and have a nice day po!

Ok po ba yung collagen cap ng mga brands na to?

​

Skin Type: Normal but my skin looks dry (it doesn't feel dry, it just looks dry/dull)

Age/Gender: 23F

Current Skincare Routine: Facial wash lang na Cetaphil pink. Magiinvest pa lang ako ngayon sa iba.

Main Concern: Planning to take a collagen capsule since I think it did wonders on my friend. Since ang mura ng mga to, I kind of have doubts if it's really safe and authentic. Parang di ko kasi kaya bumili ng tig-1k na collagen capsule, di ko pa kaya isustain ang ganon. So okay lang ba kung eto bibilin ko? Safe and authentic po ba sila?

1st pic: Collagen capsule from simplee supplements, ok naman yung mga reviews I just don't know if they are really reliable

2nd pic: Collagen + vitC capsule from Omilay, goods din naman ang mga reviews.

Lifestyle Factors: I'm still at school so minsan stress din and puyat. I have a walking pad so sometimes I do walking kapag hindi busy. I'm at obese class 1 (BMI: 31.4)

Budget: less than 1k

Additional Info: No allergies to any meds/foods.

HELP: Dark Underarms

Age/Gender: 18 M

Current Skincare: Safeguard Bodywash and Belfour Whitening Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant

Main Concern: Dark Underarms

I have had my dark underarms since I first shaved when I was around 15 or 16. As a young and naive teenager, I was very conscious of my thick underarm hairs and decided to shave it off. Unfortunately, I didn’t know the consiquences it would give me in the long run. I may have irritated my skin and might have caused pigmentation. I’ve tried switching from different deos to try and see if that does anything but so far, I’m seeing nothing. Now I’d like to get some suggestions for any products you might all recommend that I could use while I’m still saving up for an appointment to a dermatologist. Thank you all so much.

Main Concern: redish spot
Lifestyle Factors: -
Budget: -
Additional Info:Bali 2 sa neck magkabilang side, and 3 sa likod (upper right back side. halos kasing laki ng 25 cents each?

Clinic recommendations

Current Skincare Routine: Glycolic acid every other night
Main Concern: Underarm discoloration
Lifestyle Factors: Obesity from childhood to high school
Budget:

Tried a lot of things na like glycolic acid, deos with niacinamide, even tawas. I think laser na lang talaga ang sagot, and sana yun na nga.

I’m from the south. Can anyone recommend a reputable clinic where I can have underarm whitening procedure? I see here na around 2k per session sya usually, so hopefully mga ganun lang din yung price range.

TYIA!

Skincare recos to lighten/lessen the acne scars?

Age/Gender: 28/Female

Current Skincare Routine:

Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser, Micellar Cleansing Water Salicylic BHA, Luxe organic Cica Soothing Gel

Hindi naman na ganon ka perfect yung skin ko before pa nito, pero mas lalong lumala no'ng nag start ako gumamit ng benzoyl peroxide (prescribed ni Doc no'ng nag pacheck ako ng mga cystic acne ko) in 1month while using BHA tinubuan ako ng mga tiny bumps na naging cystic, yung iba nagkapus kahit hindi cystic hanggang sa nag scar na talaga. Sobrang nakakastress ng ganito.
