Got less than an hour? Squeeze in a beauty treatment at lunchtime, mama

Between work, managing a household and keeping the kids occupied on the weekends, there’s virtually no time for us to fit in a much-needed facial or hair removal appointment – until now. Beauty spots all over Singapore are catering more and more to busy, go-getter women with just under an hour to spare, and now we’re spoilt for choice with everything from flash facials to 20-minute body contouring sessions and even quick teeth whitening!

EstheCryo at EstheClinic
From hair removal to facial treatments, we’re longtime fans of EstheClinic and trust them due to their 20 years of medical and technological expertise.

It’s a hit with postnatal mamas or those who can’t seem to shake off small pockets of fat in problem areas despite a healthy lifestyle! There’s zero downtime involved, but you can expect some temporary redness, swelling, bruising or skin sensitivity. You’re advised to massage the area twice or thrice a day for a week after treatment to help enhance the results. Results can be expected from as little as one to two treatments!
