Four treatments reviewed
What I tried: Cellovski Capsule Neoderymyl Treatment + OPT Whitening Treatment (120 minutes, $428) Where: Beaute Hub
I lead an active lifestyle, so sun, sweat and chlorine are constantly sucking moisture from my skin. My Beaute Hub therapist Chantelle was quick to pick up on this and gently pointed out my dull complexion. She recommended the Cellovski Capsule Neoderymyl Treatment, a needle-free collagen and elastin filler that uses magnetic infusion technology (MIT) to penetrate the skin with targeted capsule formulas that cater to your areas of concern. MIT creates magnetic pulses, which then convert to a mild electrical energy field that boosts serum infusion. The treatment is suitable for all skin types; there are four single-use capsules to choose from, depending on your diagnosis. For my case, the whitening capsule was the recommended pick.
Once my face was cleansed and scrubbed, the capsule treatment was applied with the handheld device in a gentle circular manner over 20 minutes. Following this came a sensational face and back massage using almond oil that eased me into phase two: the OPT Whitening Treatment. An improved approach to regular IPL treatments, OPT uses a laser head to target facial imperfections like fine lines, skin discolouration, freckles and dullness. It can also be used on the neck, chest and hands.
To wrap up the treatment, a hydrating and cooling face mask was applied and left to replenish my skin.
Presented with a mirror post-treatment, I noticed the immediate effects around my eyes in particular: definitely more plump and youthful. As the week unfolded, I was less inclined to wear foundation and concealer as my complexion evened out and was noticeably brighter and toned. I've also heard that the treatment has been clinically proven to reduce wrinkles by 15 percent, so I'm looking forward to that!
