Luminisce Holistic Skin Innovations, one of the Philippines’ leading dermatology clinics, recently introduced a new advanced laser technology for skin care called Pico Suite, providing a more precise method of addressing Filipino pigmentation problems.
Laser technology has revolutionized the field of dermatology, leading to a host of results that used to be achieved only manually. Current laser technology uses nanotechnology, which fires laser beam energy at skin imperfections in nanoseconds, or a billionth of a second.
Despite nanotechnology lasers being highly effective, patients must go through periods of downtime and problems such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, burns, and blisters. These lasers also tend to be selective with pigments, making some lasers less effective for certain skin tones.
Developed by the U.S.-based aesthetic and medical treatment systems manufacturer Cynosure, the Pico Suite line fires laser beam energy in picoseconds, equivalent to a trillionth of a second. This lessens the risk of laser-related complications and speeds up the visibility of results.
“We are extremely happy to finally offer our patients the Pico Suite solution. With three of the most advanced in-clinic devices, the Pico Suite offers safe procedures and accelerated results on pigmentation problems,” says Dr. Kaycee Reyes, founder of Luminisce.
Because these laser beams are shorter in pulse duration, the photo-thermal effect on the skin is lower and therefore is less damaging to the surrounding skin tissue. Additionally, a picosecond laser breaks pigments into much smaller particles, speeding up results.
The Luminisce Pico Suite
The Luminisce Pico Suite is composed of three world-renowned in-clinic gold-standard devices: PicoMajesty, PicoPlus, and PicoSure Pro.
Of all the Pico Lasers in the market, PicoMajesty has the shortest pulse duration in the aesthetics industry with 250ps at 1064 nm and a peak power of 2GW. PicoMajesty is specifically made to address tattoos and treat other pigment-based skin conditions such as acne and scars. Its high peak power and high laser energy shatter pigments much more easily.
Meanwhile, PicoPlus is one of the most versatile Pico lasers on the market. It has both nano and picosecond pulse duration at 450ps, 2ns with a peak power of 1.8GW. PicoPlus is an ideal option for gentler treatments.
The third of the Pico Suite is PicoSure Pro, which is the second-generation pico laser created by Cynosure. PicoSure Pro has a wavelength of 755nm Alexandrite, 750ps to 650ps pulse duration, the wavelength that’s considered the “sweet spot” for most pigments. PicoSure Pro is versatile for different skin types and aids in skin revitalization. It is the only FDA-cleared picosecond device to treat melasma pigment, Nevus of Ota, and Hori’s Nevus.
Other than pigments, PicoSure Pro also reduces wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and pore size. Its unique fractionated lens redistributes the picosecond energy into low and high intensities to create elegant injury in the superficial skin layer. Called intra-epidermal Laser Induced Optical Breakdowns, these create pressure waves that expand into the dermis and activate the body’s natural healing response to stimulate collagen and elastin production without thermal side effects (e.g. redness and damage on the surrounding tissue or downtime of other lasers).

Luminisce provides a wide range of skincare solutions through its BGC, The Podium, Ortigas, and Molito Alabang branches. To know more, visit Luminisce’s website at https://luminisce.com or follow https://www.instagram.com/luminisce_official.

Is taking better care of your skin one of your new year’s resolutions? Then it’s high time to leave old habits behind, focus on yourself, and glow up so you can become the best version of yourself as you face the new year!
Hello Glow shares these five simple tips and tricks to help you transform this 2022 with the Hello Glow Blemish Miracle Set. You can add these tips to your new year’s skincare resolutions too!
Start with a skin cleanser.
The first and foremost step is to prep your skin, both by exfoliating and hydrating it. You can start your glow-up journey by adding the Miracle Clear Skin Cleanser to your skincare routine. This cleanser can remove all residual dead skin cells and make your face look clean and fresh.
Use a toner.
After cleansing, it’s also important that you use toner to balance out your skin’s pH level. The Miracle Pore Control Toner can dislodge the dirt from your pores and smooth out any textures. It’s also alcohol-free, so it won’t aggravate your skin and complexion!
Get rid of those dark spots with a serum.
A serum is also worth adding to your current regimen because it contains a high concentration of active ingredients. It’s made of small molecules, which makes it easier to penetrate your skin. The Miracle Acne Corrector Serum in the set aims to soothe redness, irritation and reduce dark spots.
Treat your acne by applying a cream.
Let’s admit it, it can be very tempting to pop a fresh zit but it won’t really solve the problem. Instead, you can apply the Miracle Acne Calming Cream on the affected area to clear up your pimples without stripping the skin of its natural oils. This cream can also treat troubled spots and reduce pimple size, drying your skin blemishes.
Indulge in self-care.
Blemish Miracle Set
Glow up is never complete without you putting all the effort to love and care for yourself. Keep in mind that there are no shortcuts to everything so having a consistent skincare regimen and using skincare products with the right ingredients for your skin type and specific concerns, are the key to a successful glow-up journey. By doing these, you can be sure that you’re all set to face the new year with your all-new luminous glow!
Here’s to a better new year, new you! Hello Glow Blemish Miracle Set is available in Watsons, Robinsons Department Store Beauty Section, SM Beauty Section, Waltermart, Landmark, Gaisano Malls, and all other leading department and supermarket stores nationwide, Lazada (lazada.com.ph/shop/hello-glow/), Shopee (shopee.ph/helloglowofficialstore), and in Ever Bilena Direct Sales.

The secret to youthful, glowing skin is really no big secret. Locking in moisture or keeping your skin hydrated is key in maintaining that dewy, soft, and young-looking complexion. This, of course, is easier said than done. Drinking enough water, following a specific skincare routine, and using the right products are just some of the ways to care for your skin and keep it hydrated.
Ever Organics, the effective and affordable skincare line formulated with organic-based key ingredients, shares these tips to help keep your skin moisturized every day.
Skip the long, steamy showers.
Hot showers and washing your face with warm water can be very relaxing and refreshing. But did you know that long, hot showers can actually strip your skin of moisture, leaving it feeling dry and rough? Instead of using hot water to bathe or wash your face, use lukewarm water instead—and make sure to apply moisturizer while your skin is still wet post-shower.
Drink an adequate amount of water.
From helping your skin maintain elasticity, to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, drinking lots of water can do amazing things to your skin and your overall health as well. As recommended, drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day is the best and most natural way to achieve that glowing, dewy complexion.
Pat your face dry after cleansing.
Another simple way to retain your skin’s smooth texture is to change how you dry your skin after cleansing. Instead of rubbing your face dry, try gently patting your face using a soft towel to absorb the water without irritating your skin. Your skin will definitely thank you for this!
Use hydrating skincare products.
Products that penetrate through your skin and deliver water are vital, especially if you have dehydrated skin. A good example of this is Ever Organics’ Tomato Glass Skin Gel Lotion.
This gel lotion is infused with 95% tomato extract that brightens and revitalizes dry or irritated skin and aids in maintaining a healthy and youthful glow to the skin. Not only that, but this gel lotion also contains Lotus Flower extract that has natural anti-aging benefits and Centella Asiatica Extract which is a rich source of amino acids and is a good hydrating ingredient to soothe upset or compromised skin. It is also formulated with Green Tea and Licorice Root extracts to help prevent acne, itching, irritation, and redness.
Ever Organics’ products are available on their official Shopee and Lazada stores, and Watsons branches nationwide.

Blackwater BB Cream
Men need to look fresh and well-groomed too, especially now that our faces are on focus during virtual meetings, video calls, and even online classes. Having the right skincare products that are specially developed for men is important to maintain a well-moisturized, blemish-free, and smooth complexion.
For men who want to keep their skincare routine simple, Blackwater’s BB cream is a great option because it is a multi-functional product that has several benefits. Here are some great reasons why this BB cream is an excellent addition to your skincare kit:
It evens out skin tone.
Blemish Balm creams or BB cream have ingredients that help in seamlessly merging with the base of your skin tone, moisturize your skin and protect it from the sun. Blackwater BB Cream for Men is an oil control cream that helps out in minimizing uneven skin tone. Apply it gently to your face and leave it on for at least 10 minutes to achieve a glass skin look. Its matte-finish texture will also help you keep your skin smooth and shine-free for hours. You can choose the Beige or Tan shade that comes with this BB Cream depending on your skin tone. It’s lightweight too so you can always keep your fresh look on the go!
Conceals spots and blemishes.
A BB cream can act as a concealer and hide your pimples and skin blemishes. It can also control the production of excess sebum and control erratic skin breakouts.
Achieve those extra “pogi points” no matter where you go. Blackwater BB Cream is available in all leading supermarkets nationwide, at Lazada (www.lazada.com.ph) and Shopee (www.shopee.ph). Follow @blackwaterphofficial on Facebook or @blackwater.ph on Instagram to know more.
