Hi guys its been awhile.. So sorry for the lack of updates.. I'm more active on my instagram so do follow me there for more stuffs..

Anyway remember at the very beginning of this year i mentioned that one of my new year goal is to remove my unwanted tattoos(in total of 6), which i eventually found a doctor and started my tattoo removal journey in March. Which you can read the post here Yangmixue My tattoo removal journey if you missed it.

 Its been 5 months and alot of readers is very excited about how is my tattoo removal progression and results.
So here it is. I've been through 5 sessions till now, i'm going for my next session next week and trust me i'm extremely happy with my results. When i decided to remove my tattoo with Dr Kevin Chua
he set my expectations right, so i wasn't expecting a new baby flawless skin after my removal.
But up till now i'm very pleased with my outcome. Let the pictures do the talking..

My Tattoo Removal Journey

My Tattoo Removal Journey 

Hi all.. I did mentioned that this year one of my new year goal is to find a good doctor and remove all my unwanted tattoos. And...... I did it!!!

I'm not gonna waste a lot of my time on why i did my tattoo in the first place..
To summarize, i did it at a rebellious teenager age and i really regret a lot..
I always have to wear covered back clothes, with sleeves to cover my shoulder tattoo and i always love off shoulders clothes and stuffs.

So when i was about 20 years old, i did went for tattoo removal TWICE (2 sessions) but ultimately i gave up! Because its sooooo freaking painful! its like 10 times the pain of putting a tattoo on! I'm serious!

I shelved the thought of removing my tattoo for years till recently i decided that i really want them off for good, so i begin my research and search for the best doctor that suits me and at the same time mentally preparing myself for the pain AGAIN!

One main reason why i decided to blog about my tattoo removal journey is also because when i'm researching and hoping to find some blog about tattoo removal to read, i was kinda shocked, that there isn't like a complete blog that i can read. So i decided that if i remove mine, i will share my experience, which doctor i went and my recovery and results...
Everyone deserves a second chance.. Even our skin...

So after searching a few clinics i decided to go to Drs. Chua & Partners (Alexandra Village).
Apparently Dr Kevin Chua is very famous for his tattoo removal, when i first met him.
He provided me with a lot of information about removing my tattoos, the best outcome and the worst outcome.
What i like about Dr Kevin, is he was very honest and not try to make me commit and spend money.
So after talking to him, i decided that he is the doctor that will change my life! Give my skin a second chance..

Am i gonna show you my the tattoos the i have..

My back tattoos



My shoulder
My lower back
So u guys tell me, should i not remove all these Messy tattoos????

P.S: I have nothing against having tattoo, i think they are beautiful when done properly and design chose carefully, not like mine. Rubbish patches...!

The Actual Day of My Tattoos Removal

I was extremely excited and worried about the pain at the same time.. My younger brother accompanied me there. I reached the clinic at 9 am to apply the numbing cream and will start the removal at 11am.
So not to bored you with words, let the photos do the talking..

DONE!!!

So... First session done!!

Hehehee... I'm actually very happy..!! Now after you see the whole procedure, let me explain a little about the process... Firstly the clinic assistant will apply the numbing cream on the tattoo for you, about 2 hrs later we are ready to get the removal done. 

What Technology is Dr Kevin Using?

Dr Kevin is using MedLite C6 Laser System, which can significantly lighten or remove professional, amateur, traumatic and surgical tattoos. In many cases, depending on the amount and type of ink used, and the depth of the ink in the skin — greater than 95% fading of the tattoo may be accomplished
The Medlite C6 forces energy into the target ink molecules at such a high rate, they vibrate and shatter, without harming the surrounding skin.
As the MedLite laser emits light in very short pulses, the skin is protected from damage. 


What colours can be removed?

The Medlite C6 laser has the option of four different wavelengths (or colours) allowing it to selectively erase a whole spectrum of colours, including black ink, red ink, sky blue ink and green inks. 

There are tattoo artists who mix colors two create an "in between" color. Like red and yellow to make orange. Or blue and yellow to make green ink. The laser light will tease out these different colours on a molecular level. 

Some colours are reduced easier than others; Yellow, white, flesh tones, brown and fluorescent colours are resistant. Because these inks may contain metals or plastics they usually require more treatments. Greens and certain blues can take more treatments than those estimated.

How many sessions does it take?

Most tattoos will require 8-12 sessions. The final number depends on how much ink there is left in your skin. The older the tattoo is, the more ink would have been absorbed and cleared by your body over time. The older tattoos typically clear faster

How long must I wait between each session?

The minimum time between each session is 4 weeks. This is in order to allow the skin enough time to heal so we can minimise any chance of scarring. Sometimes, that duration may be extended depending on how well your skin heals.


Will it leave a scar?

There is always a small chance of scarring. After each treatment, some may develop blisters. Try not to burst them. The chance of scarring can be further reduced depending on how you look after the treated area. Try not to pick or scratch at the skin as it heals. There is medication that can shorten the recovery period and reduce your chance of scarring further.

(So far mine so good, no blisters at all..)

Enough knowledge and further questions, i think its better that you check with Dr Kevin directly so that he can provide you with his professional advice.


Now.. How I Felt????

Amazingly!! the pain was so much bearable compare to the one i did when i was 20 years old..
As i was preparing to hurt like hell! The pain on the scale of 10 is like 3-4.. Seriously i'm not joking!
I think the numbing cream is like magic!!! Dr Kevin was also very fast and accurate.. Know what? i'm actually looking forward to my next session!! =)

Now let me show you after the first session.. The before and after...






Medication for after care...


I'm recovering very well.. In real life, my tattoos are significantly lighter and has faded a lot.. I'm going for my second removal this month! So looking forward! 
Can't wait for all the tattoos to be gone!

Lastly i'm so glad that i chose Dr Kevin.. You are a cool doctor!!!!
Had the honor to take photo with Dr Kevin and his beautiful wife.. =)




If you are thinking of getting your tattoo removal done.. Trust me.. You need to see him!!

V Shaped Face - Botox and Fillers

V Shape Face ???

Hi All, so sorry for the lack of updates. I've been so caught up with Chinese new year.
But.. i didn't put on any weight! Hehehe..!

Today i'm gonna share with you guys a very common question, asked by readers..
How did you slim your face??? 

The process

To answer this question, i slimmed down. You see when we loose weight, naturally the rest of our body slim down as well. So to answer your question i did get rid of the double chin myself, while loosing weight.
But is my face really that V ? Nope.. C'mon.. Photos we always angle well so to achieve a smaller face or now the IN Thing! V Shape face.

I've been trying very hard to achieve this V shape face too. I tried many different so called "slimming face cream". So far none really work, so does give me a little tightening feel but that's it. 
As you guys know i've tried some aesthetics treatment on my body.
Which you can read it here, if you missed it..

With also some queries and discussion with my readers and Instagram followers.
Many were asking me have i consider face's aesthetics treatments.
So i went on to research and i've finally decided to give it a shot..

So as i was researching V shape face, the options that came out was either plastic surgery? where you can get a implant or aesthetics treatments, which is injection.
Chin implant is definitely not for me, as i like to support my chin when reading on bed and stuffs, what if the implant shift?!!! So i decided to try out aesthetics instead.

Some readers suggested a few good clinic for me to try and after some researching and enquiring with the clinics i decided to go ahead for NEUGLOW.

I actually emailed them to check the cost and procedures and then i was like just do it man! stop thinking!
So i set a appointment and i went!

On the actual day i was so freaking excited..When i reach there i was recieved with lots of smile. The people there were just so nice and gentle in the way they spoke. Makes me relax and at ease.



Firstly i went in for consultation and that's when i met Dr Michelle. =D
Michelle meet Dr michelle.. A very patient and gentle doctor who explained and understand all my concerns in details when i tell her..

After sharing with her my concerns area and the result i wanna achieve.

Dr michelle suggested i should go for a little Botox at my both jawline and also a little filler to give me a more V shape face. **Excited!

So before, i share my experience and process. Let me share with you guys what are the treatment i'm planning to do.

First of all i have a chubby chubby cheeks and a little loose skin due to being too overweight last time.. So Dr Michelle recommended that i try out Botox (Botulinum) Injection. So slimming the contour and tightening my jaw shape and then she will inject a little filler into my chin to get it a more V shaped look.

So what is a Botox & Fillers Injection??

BOTOX is a simple, non-surgical treatment. It temporarily improves the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines by injecting a prescription medicine into the muscles. Nerve impulses will be blocked reducing the muscle activity that causes lines between the brows. It is most suitable for those between 18 to 65 years of age.
Facial fillers are products such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxyl apatite that rejuvenate facial skin by reducing or eliminating wrinkles, raising scar depressions, enhancing lips and restoring soft-tissue volume loss through facial injections. As we age, our skin is more prone to wrinkles and starts to sag. Exposure to sun and years of muscle movement such as squinting, chewing and smiling, contribute to tissue breakdown of the skin. Facial fillers are solutions that range from temporary to long-lasting administered through a few tiny facial injections on specific areas of the face.

How are the procedure done?

The process will only take about 10-15mins.
First there will be some numbing cream applied and leave on.  Then Dr will do the injection to the designated area. Then we are done.. Fast and easy!

Are the results permanent ?

The enhanced effects are temporary lasting about 6 to 8 months. The effects vary according to individual.

So the long waited procedure is here!
