First time doing facial at Porcelain , The Face Spa on 24th June.


It's walking distance near Outram Park Mrt , along the shop houses .



Turn left and up the stairs from the door.
Walk up the stairs , Porcelain is at the first door you see, no need to walk all the way up.
First time visit thus I pressed the bell and waited for a moment , later on the staff told me need not press bell , next time can just walk-in so yeah you can just walk in , don't be like me XD
GSS Promotion , oops sorry the camera flash

No picture of treatment and the room as it's not allowed :)
Anyway this is what I did


1.Quintessential Facial
2.RevitalEye Luxx
3.Neck Treatment


whole duration is about 2.5hours ( different people different timing depending on your face needs )


My review : When I entered the place , was greeted by their friendly staffs. It don't feel like you're entering facial salon , it feel 'homely' . During the process ,my therapist explained every step to me , what she's applying and function ( ok , almost all facial place do this ) During extraction times I would usually tear a single or two but this time round I didn't .


They specialize in
  • Milia Seed Removal
  • Oil Clots/Seed Removal
  • Acne Scar Removal
  • Severe Acne/ Pimple
  • " Pock Mark " Reduction
  • Pore Refinement
and one thing to highlight at Porcelain you can reassure that there is NO HARD SELL POLICY , I know several facial salon especially those well-known brands like XXX or XXX will HARD SELL , and if you don't buy their treatment to you will change from very friendly to ' --- ' . One example in which my sister went for a place for haircut ( the well known salon provide many kind of service like facial , hair , nails etc ) and my sis just want a haircut and the lady was like trying to get my sis to dye her hair also and when my sis show no interest she change her attitude immed D:


read real testimonial from their customer here.


I'm not sure if I can say out their student package price here but you can give them a call if interested as although the ala cart menu price for one facial might be over $100 but for the student package they really keep it affordable to suit a student's needs.

and at Porcelain , they customize facial according to customer's needs . Meaning A and B might be doing the same facial (
Quintessential Facial ) but the product use is different as it's customize accordingly.



Products I gotten ;
  • Soothe Hydro Cleanser
  • Revive Natural Skin Refiner
  • Spa Hydrocare bio-cellulose mask

Another highlight of Porcelain , The Face Spa.


Introducing you , BLACK MAGIC!! ( wooooo, does it reminds you of witches ?! )


It's a kind of IPL treatment that uses a proprietary formula created in Korea, known a The Photo Reborn Gel or Plasma Magic Gel. Unlike conventional IPL Gel, which has a clear color, the Plasma Magic Gel is black. Black Magic Treatment does not target pigments, but aims to rejuvenate the skin by tightening the pores and reducing sebum production.


* in short *
IPL systems work on the same principles as lasers , ( light energy is converted to heat energy ) which targets the lower layers of skin (dermis) without affecting the top layers of skin (epidermis) The advantage of IPL therapy is its minimal downtime – a patient can often have the procedure done in their lunch break an return to work immediately afterwards.


( before I heard about this , I only know IPL works on body parts I didn't know about it on face )
since IPL on body parts can makes you say good-bye to unwanted hair in long term run , I believe IPL for face will also let you say good-bye to unwanted face problem , see the before and after result .


Process : Before the IPL treatment starts, you’ll be given protective eyewear to protect you from the bright flashes of light. A cooling layer of gel, also known as IPL Gel, will be applied to the treatment area. It serves to cool the epidermis during the treatment and prevent light from scattering. IPL gel conducts better light absorption to target the Chromophores (blood vessels and melanin) during the treatment; thus, the melanin of the pigmented area will absorb the light and disperse the melanin inside.
Difference between IPL Gel and Plasma Magic Gel


The light depths are the same for Black Magic and conventional IPL as it is the filter of the hand piece, which controls the depth. Typically, IPL comes with two filters, one for hair removal and the other for skin rejuvenation. Light depth depends on the wavelength of the filter. The wavelength for hair removal is 700nm – 950nm whereas for skin rejuvenation, the wavelength ranges from 560nm – 950nm.

The intensity of the light depends on the energy fluency during the treatment. As the Plasma Magic Gel is formulated to increase efficiency in light absorption, only 10J is required for the treatment. Half of what is required for conventional IPL treatments
