I have alot freckles on my face and my eye bag also quite heavy! I tried applying lightening products and use masks but dont seem to help much. I heard facial does help to improve the condition but I'm scared of pain. I've been considering going to Bella after some of my friend's recommendation and saw a branch at Nex which is near where I lived. My friend told me about Bella's facebook welcome pack, can receive full premium facial at a discount price and some vouchers just by liking them on facebook! I have liked them on facebook, but havent tried out their facial yet. Dont want to make impulse decision. Anyone can advice if facial help to solve my problems? Do share if any one tried Bella service too! Thanks

You may try sheep placenta capsule which can reduce pigment or eye pouch to certain extent . I personally consume for 1 month and i feel good . It uses stem cells to rejuvenate the old cells so the treatment is from inside - out. Can pm me for more details

Actually, to really prevent pigmentation, it is important to use a good sunscreen with both uva1, uva2 and uvb protection, apply it in the correct amount and in the right way. When sun spots started appearing on my face inspite of my long period of wearing sunscreen and makeup with spf, i started to research and read up more.


To my horror, i discover that many sunscreens sold here and makeup with spf do not really provide sufficient protection against uva1, uva2 and uvb. Many had protection against uvb and some have protection against uva2 but few can protect against uva1, which constitutes a large percentage of uva rays. Furthermore, many sunscreens here contain oxybenzone which is harmful (just google for info), avobenzone which makes the sunscreen less effective when used with makeup containing spf.

So, u really need to find an effective sunscreen without those harmful chemicals. Here's a gd site to read for knowing what makes a gd sunscreen. http://www.skinacea.com/sunscreen/uv-filters-chart.html

Is it true that IPL can remove pigmentation. After reading threads from different forum, some says that after the treatment face become more sensitive to the sun. More pigmentation appear before the treatment. So it’s very confused to do or not to do the IPL. Can those who had done the treatment share the experience.

Anyone know of any good aesthetic doctor for treatment of pigmentation and dark eye rings?

I would like to know more about laser for pigmentation too. Any feedback to share?

Done once at Paragon a few years back. I did not have much pigmentation so it was ok.

I saw a few of Dr Goh's no-frills IPL clinic. Anybody had tried? I thought of trying it as it is not as expensive as the one in Paragon.

Just to share... I have pigmentation for about 10 yrs now, at first it appeared as a light brown stain on my lower right cheek, it was very faint and I paid little attention it. But after about 9 months the patch though remained same size, but grew darker. I started actively searching for remedy. I tried many different skin care products bought from dept stores, all did not worked, spent a big hole, delayed and the pigmentation got worse.


The first procedure I went to was IPL, truly amazing; the dark patch started to lighten after the 3rd treatment. However, it couldn't get rid of the pigment thoroughly. My skin started to thin out, and to my horror, more pigmentation appeared on my right cheek bone, so now I have 3 patches to deal with.

Then someone mentioned laser, I gave it a try too; result are more like changing my skin, skin looked and felt very smooth, pores almost invisible; but not the pigmentation :gloomy: in fact it became darker due to the harsh laser skin started to produce more pigment to protect it.

Desperate, so I switched to a pigmentation cream, TriLuma, contains Retin-A and 4% of hydroquino; Retin-A is an Vit A derivative that promote skin to renew faster and boost the collagen growth. Hydroquinoa is effective in bleaching. Due to all the IPL and laser treatments I underwent, I supposed my skin had thinned out a lot, this cream caused much irritation, redness and slight swelling and very dry. Itchy and flaky.

By then, I decided to stop all treatment and leave it, but a friend highly recommended a dermatologist at Raffles Hospital, after consultation, he only prescribed one cream to me, Lumixyl (unlike other popular aesthetic doctors that would asked me to use their whole set of products.) Apply twice daily on clean skin. That's all it takes! And, I am only on the second bottle, cos a bottle last me for 6+months; before the 1st bottle is used up, my pigmentation already almost disappeared, left only a very faint mark that can only be seen with close examination. Currently, I am on my second bottle which I now only apply once at night every alternate day for maintenance.
However, the dermatologist warned me that pigmentation will always return if I have prolong sun exposure, hormone changes etc.

Don't waste money on IPL, laser treatments, skin care products. See a dermatologist. They have effective topical creams for different type of pigmentation.
And, so much more pocket-friendly.

Hi, Flowermonaster.

The doctor I went to is Dr Chris Foo, with consultation and the cream is less than $250. For first timer, he'll asked to see you in a month time to assess if the cream is working. So far, I only seen him 3 times.
Raffles Hospital is near to Bugis, address: Raffles Skin Center, 585, North Bridge Road, #11-00, Raffles Hospital. For appointment 63111222. But he is always fully booked, quite hard to get an appointment.

Hope this is helpful.
