I visited Kowayo Aesthetic few weeks ago and was introduced to their signature Dewy Shine Ellanse Collagen Stimulation treatment, it is a widely popular treatment in Taiwan and also known as 少女针.

Being 32yo this year (33 after August, lol), I start to have visible signs of aging. I have some fine lines under my eyes and also dark eye circles, which I always dream of getting rid of it. Why do I say 'dream'? Because it's almost impossible! Hahaha. I have splurged on expensive creams and many brands, etc, but none helped to improve my eye problems. It was also due to late nights accumulated from past years. This was quite frustrating for me because applying concealers is a chore and my dark eye circles will still be visible if my make-up starts to melt. Not only that, I have to use makeup plus app to edit all my pictures, duh.

Besides my dark eye circle problem, I also have fine lines under my eye and eye bag although it wasn't serious. But when under bad lightings, they are very obvious in pictures.

Kowayo’s Dewy Shine 少女针 stimulates the collagen in the body and this collagen stimulation restores it to a more youthful state. Dewy Shine Ellanse (少女针) is a specially designed Collagen Stimulating treatment for lifting the cheeks, forehead, chin, and tear trough area. It is also particularly effective at wrinkles removal.

Ellanse Benefits:-

Results for dark eye circles will not be seen instantly, but will have to wait for a few weeks and it will keep getting better and better as time passes. You cannot fight/stop aging process, but you can delay it!

Okay, let's get to the real deal now, I know you want pictures =D

After applying the numbing cream, I waited in a room for about 20 mins before proceeding to start the injection in another room.

Below are 2 photos taken during the procedure.  The whole thing is done within 15 mins.  You will feel a little pain and discomfort (very bearable) but trust me, Dr Wong is very experienced in this area so you do not need to worry at all!  You can trust him 100%.  And with the numbing cream applied, the discomfort you feel is really the minimum.  The Ellanse jab I took can last up to 4 years, according to Dr Wong.

After the jab, you may notice a little bit of redness but it can be covered up immediately with make up.  Guess what, I even went for a photoshoot session right after, and its not even noticeable to anyone.

This is my very first time experiencing such treatments, excited and abit scared at the same time.  It has been 3 weeks since the treatment and the results are starting to show.  Kowayo’s Dewy Shine 少女针 will continue to stimulate the skin's own collagen to return the treated area to a more youthful state.  I am so excited to continue seeing my skin improves in the following weeks.

Some photos taken right after session:-
maybe the photos couldn't really tell, but there is slight lift ard my cheeks area.  And I loved it!!  

I mentioned that I went for a photoshoot after the treatment and here is one of the image taken.  Any redness or soreness I had had alrdy went down by the time I reached the studio.  I only did some normal touching-up and start shooting alrdy.  =D  Don't worry about down time, there is none!

Thank you Kowayo Aesthetic Clinic, the friendly staffs and of course, Dr Wong! I look forward to my next visit.

This product provides sufficient hydration, remove dead skin cells and whitens your skin.

​Content: 50ml
​Texture:  White and creamy
​Goat Milk Extract from New Zealand, processed in Korea.

My Comments:
​I love the instant whitening effect!  If you are someone who don't like to apply foundation/powder, this is enough as a moisturizer.  You need to apply it evenly on your whole face so it wont look like patches here and there.  I will purchse if i finish this one.

Gobdigoun Pink Pigment Snail Mucin First-Step Tinted Moisturiser
Snail Mucin Substance is expected to be efficient in maintaining hydration and the gloss of facial skin.

My Comments:
Although this does not provide much coverage for skin, but i kind of love the shimmery effect.  It does brighten up our skin and give it a kind of glow as well.  But if you want, you may apply some loose powder over it.  I will also consider purchasing this when i finish this.
