Crystal/Diamond Peel + Medlite C6 Laser @ Mediviron UOA Clinic


Hi readers! Today I am going to talk about my visit to Mediviron UOA which is located in the heart of KL in Wisma UOA II, Jalan Pinang. For your information, Mediviron UOA offers professional and personalized aesthetic services which are carried out by experienced, professional and caring doctors!  You can be sure you are in good hands :) 


My skin condition (BEFORE- no makeup foundation/BB cream and no photo editing). I have really bad dry skin. On top of that, I have to apply makeup very often which make my skin condition worse!

Whiteheads, blackheads and clogged pores occur most frequent at my T Zone face area! 




Ms. Janet, the beauty consultant at Mediviron UOA cleansing my face before getting started with the DIAMOND PEEL treatment! 

What is Diamond Peel? 
A diamond peel is a crystal-free microdermabrasion. During this procedure, a state-of-the-art diamond cut handpiece with a sandpaper-like surface will be used to gently remove the dead skin and debris on the outer layer of your skin, leaving smoother, cleaner, brighter skin.


Face is cleanse thoroughly which will allow the Diamond Peel to more effectively remove the dead cells. 




This is the MICRODERMABRADER machine! 






 There is no chemicals or laser beams being used for this treatment.



The Diamond Peel will leave you with smooth and clean skin! Your face may be a bit flushed and red but you can definitely put on makeup and go back to work. No downtime :)



The DIAMOND PEEL gently and safely removes the outer layers of the stratum corneum, and any debris on the skin such as surface blackheads, whiteheads, oil and dirt. This treatment is exactly what I needed since I have a lot of clogged pores, dry blackheads and whiteheads all over my face!












Janet is squeezing out those stubborn and dry whiteheads manually. I haven't done any facial in months. 



The Diamond Peel procedure takes approximately 30 minutes. 



After the Diamond Peel procedure, Dr. Jasmine Ruth came into the treatment room to consult me about the Medlite C6 Laser treatment. Special thanks to @medivironuoa and Dr. Jasmine Ruth for the treatment!

What is Medlite C6 Laser? 

It is a new technology which helps to treats scars and wrinkles at the root of the problem, deep in the skin. Using laser energy that penetrates deeply without injuring the top layer of skin, the deep dermis is stimulated to produce natural collagen and other vital proteins that make up healthy, youthful skin.







 This is how the Medlite C machine looks like.




 Dr. Jasmine Ruth begins the treatment by switching on the machine, and pointing the laser at the problem areas. Working in a back and forth and circular pattern, Dr. Jasmine guides the laser over my face. 



For the Medlite C6 Laser treatment, no numbing cream is being apply on face. The pain is absolutely tolerable - On a scale of 1-5, I'll  give it a 2! During the laser, you may smell a slight burning odor but it does no harm to you whatsoever :) Just mild heating and a prickling sensation during the procedure.




 The Medlite laser is used to stimulate the collagen in the skin, improve pigmentation, reduce the fine lines and imperfections of the skin, and over all, rejuvenate the skin's appearance; all with little discomfort and minimal, to no downtime.




 The energy of the laser is adjustable so that the discomfort the patient may feel can be controlled. So if you are experiencing any pain during the treatment, just let the doctor know :)




Laser skin rejuvenation is a gradual process. Usually patients need 4-6 treatments spaced 3-5 weeks apart to see the best results. The beauty of this treatment is that it is fast and painless. This is a treatment for clients who are looking for an overall skin rejuvenation at a very affordable price!



Above are videos taken during the Medlite C6 Laser Treatment.







 A "face net" and damp cotton is being placed onto my eyes area before applying the rubber mask.




A thin layer of lavender rubber mask in being applied onto my face with a face mask brush! This mask is specially formulated for sensitive skin to soothe the tight and tingly feeling. The fragrance calms and relaxes your mind!




The mask is let to dry until the rubber has completely hardened, usually from 10 - 15 minutes!



 My face looks exactly like a delicious looking cream cake. What's missing here is fruits and toppings to go on top! hehehe

Thank You QUEENS OF MISS EARTH page for featuring me on your site!

QUEENS OF MISS EARTH PAGE INTERVIEW QUESTIONS.

I am Renee Tan, Miss Malaysia Earth 2014. Well, the idea of beauty pageants, once you hear of it, you become pessimistic, because of the rumors surrounding it. But what actually triggered my interest in this particular pageant was the organization behind it. Also, it emphasizes on intelligence as well as environmental protection programs which I find it very intriguing.
  • 1.      You were designated/crowned as candidate to Miss Earth, is there a national competition to select a representative to the pageant?


Answer: Before being selected as Malaysia’s representative to Miss Earth, I have been competing in my country’s national competition. It was nerve-racking, thrilling, enriching and sometimes a bit stressful but definitely an experience I will never forget! I had two weeks of pageant boot camp with 23 other incredibly lovely ladies from diverse backgrounds and at the end, I came out top.  I was hopeful going into the pageant but I didn’t expect to win.

  • 2.      Joining international pageants such as Miss Earth requires a lot of preparations, how do you prepare yourself? What are the necessary things you have to prepare before travelling to Manila, Philippines?


Answer: The pageant is drawing closer and joining international pageants such as Miss Earth involves tons of preparations and training. I have been preparing myself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually because it is vital to have a solid foundation in these areas so as to go into the pageant with peace of mind, self-confidence, poise, and clarity. The ideal evening gowns and national costumes are definitely in my top checklist of items before traveling to Manila, Philippines.

  • 3.      Miss Earth gathers around 90 gorgeous women around the world to participate in the international pageant, what are your expectations? Do you expect to win?


Answer: Each and every woman who participate in this Miss Earth pageant are already winners of their own countries and every individual country winners hope to make their country proud. I will surely try my ultimate best to do my country proud by being the best version of myself. For me, winning isn’t everything but making the effort to win and wanting to win is!

  • 4.      Miss Earth is considered as the third largest pageant and is regarded as the most relevant pageant in the world, how you can help make it more popular all over the world.


Answer: Miss Earth pageant is already very popular for its worthy cause of preserving the environment and protecting Mother Earth through this prestigious global beauty event. What I can help to make it even more popular all over the world is to create an innovative, impactful and informative environmental campaign for schools and teachers since students are the future of a country and their actions on such environmental works through social media will effectively and ethically influence others.

  • 5.      Miss Earth has a great advocacy, that is, environmental preservation and protection, what have you done so far in line with the advocacy of the pageant?


Answer: I am grateful and blessed to be given the opportunity to go the Philippines for three days Environment Online programme. During my visit, I have participated in countless tree planting activity as well as mangrove planting. I have also take part in the mangrove planting activity at Kuala Gula, Perak. After being crowned as Miss Malaysia Earth 2014, I strongly want to influence others with my advocacy and this opportunity is definitely a good platform for me to reach out and educate the children about protecting their environment. Young children inspire me because they are so full of life, and children are our greatest treasure. They are our future. We must therefore, teach them well! I have been actively going to schools and teaching the kids on the importance of tree planting as well as getting the children involved in the tree planting activity in their school compound.

  • 6.      As a parting message, what can you advice to all women who desire to join pageants such as Miss Earth?


Answer: Joining a beauty pageant is not about glamour or glitz alone. Under the shine of the media spotlight, it is about giving back to the society through genuine efforts and the desire to help the public as well as the environment.

Mangrove Projects @ Kuala Gula, Perak

I was privileged to be invited to Kuala Gula, Perak on the 7th of September 2014 by Sir Kalaimani Supramaniam, ENO's Coordinator for Asia and Malaysia to witness ENO's mangrove projects which has been actively going on since 2006 and up-to-date, almost NINE Miss Earth around the region have visited and participated in this particular mangrove planting activity at Kuala Gula. It was definitely an eye opener for me since I was able to witness on my own the boat rides, beautiful scenery, mangrove planting in swampy areas as well as collecting cockles in muddy swampy sites! I also managed to slot in my time for a short tour to the kindergarten and was pleased to have visited the Buddhist temple nearby.


Posing on the roots of a mangrove tree! No worries because the roots is incredibly strong! 


I enjoyed myself so much being in the muddy swamps. You'll see plenty of tiny crabs crawling here and there. I had a tough time walking from point A to point B because of the slippery wet muddy ground. Did you know, the mud itself is good for your skin?! So, if you have skin problems, you know what to do lar. Haha


I was very busy collecting cockles for dinner. I was indeed very excited and *Jakun*. Got my pants and shirt all covered with dirt & mud. No sweat. No fun!




I am preparing myself for a jumping shot. I couldn't jump high because of the slippery ground and I was trying to hold a nice facial expression. Lol




Overall, I enjoyed myself and definitely look forward to come back for another visit here. If you love nature, fresh air, and fulfilled moments, come over to Kuala Gula to experience it yourself!
