Tired Eyes Correction X Kowayo Aesthetic Clinic

Dark Eye Circles Correction with Kowayo

Ever since I was a kid, I've had the darkest dark eye circles IMO growing up. And it doesn't help that I've pretty fair skin tone either. As if I am perpetually punched in the face.

I'd like to say it's hereditary, but I've no idea who the hell I inherited this disastrous heavy panda eyes from either! Both my parents seemed fine..

But whatever the case. It's safe to say I tried practically everything - Drugstore eye creams, over $100+ eye creams, tea bags, those cutesy gimmicky Korean panda eye rollers, cucumbers, sleeping early, extracting juices of raw potatoes. Seriously. Everything, personally I see minimal to zero changes.

Eventually I convinced myself, 'Aiya ching cai la, use concealer cover lor.' or, 'Not like I will look super buang. mtxx remove dark eye circles so easy now.'  *Cues evil laugh*

But I know, ultimately, it IS a problem I need to rectify. Concealer can never cover it entirely. Why short-change yourself right?

I decided to visit Kowayo Aesthetic Clinic for a consultation with Dr Wong.

It's so light and airy in the clinic :)

And here are before-procedure photos of how truly bad my dark circles are without mtxx & concealer~:

Horrifying right? Any first impression I make would be zoned into the fact it seemed like I haven't slept for 10 years. Basically what I've is like a combination of the common dark reddish / brownish pigmentation under eye x a sunken tear trough area which casts shadows to further enhance my circles. Something like.. This I grabbed off Google.

For the record, through the entire post thereafter, I did not use mtxx to surgically remove my circles NOR concealer either too! 

Anyway, Dr Wong decided to use Ellansé for my tired eyes correction.

Why Ellansé? 

Ellansé is different to other dermal fillers which are commercially available, Ellansé offers a unique combination of Total and Predictable Bio-resorbability for its entire range.

Ellansé offers a personalised treatment option with a sustained duration of 12 months (Ellansé-S) up to 4 years (Ellansé-E).

How it works?

Collagen is one of the important support structures found naturally in our skin, helping to maintain the appropriate tightness, elasticity and suppleness. Over the course of time, our skin gradually loses its natural collagen, leading to facial laxity and the formation of wrinkles and folds.

Ellansé works differently to traditional dermal fillers, which only address lines, wrinkles and folds. Thanks to its unique properties, it not only corrects wrinkles and folds but by stimulating your own collagen to really treat the underlying causes of facial ageing, the effects are gradual and longer-lasting giving you a natural youthful appearance.

Ellansé is a perfect choice for both women and men seeking...

☑ Immediate visible results
☑ Skin revitalisation & firmness through natural collagen stimulation
☑ Reshapes and contours
☑ Natural & Fresh look
☑ Long-lasting effects avoiding multiple sessions to maintain the results

☑ Cost effective treatment

In essence, Dr Wong explained to me that he will be doing a base filler for me first, then layering the collagen-filled goodness over. And here goes my virgin fillers procedure!

Getting the numbing cream on.

Seated and awaiting!

I'm obviously feeling fine here :)

And here's a video of myself during the injection. I'd say my pain tolerance is quite high(?) I'd rate this pain level like: 2/10. The only uncomfortable sensation would be the initial prick in, then its all easy breezy, could chit chat and laugh throughout.

And here are the after photos.

Couldn't help but to immediately snap a photo after to send to everyone I know because I was completed amazed with the instant difference.

Here is Day 2 post-procedure in JB (no concealer was used!):

Day 4 post-procedure, after an entire day at work (still absolutely concealer-free):

But I had a bruise at my chin when Dr Wong used the residual filler of 0.2ml for it :)

Day 5 (It's a TR-selfie, so everything's much smoother):

Day 7, attending pole friend's wedding:

So why did I choose Ellansé for Tired Eyes Correction with Kowayo Clinic?

I am a typical Singaporean, I'm sowrie. Like all Singaporeans, I want affordable, safe. effective, AND immediate effect somehow all rolled into one.

Let me illustrate. Over the years, I've spent thousands trying gimmicky products that don't work. But from $1500/-, (Edited amount for more accuracy) I can have concealer-free eyes that actually look pleasant to (ironically) the eyes. Dr Wong also told me that this tear trough procedure can last 2 - 4 years. So much longer than the typical fillers of 6 - 12 months.

Ellansé for Tired Eyes Correction with Kowayo Clinic: 
$1500 / 36 (Let's put it conservatively at 3 years)
= $42/month. (rounded up figure) (Edited

Typical Filler: 
$599 (Actually I did a generic Googling, all are much pricier) / 12 (Assuming maximum term)
= $50/month. (rounded up figure)

$47/month is actually a pretty reasonable figure to make sure you look the best you can. I should have done this sooner. Absolutely no regrets!

Also, personally, this was mad satisfying for me to witness the instantaneous plumping of my tear trough area and miraculous absence of my dark eye circles within an hour. I no longer have to spend alot of time on color-correcting my under-eye and mtxx crazily away at those rings.

I really enjoyed my time at the clinic as well, I can see that there's a strong rapport between the team and the customers while I was there, Dr Wong and his team were very friendly and warm throughout my experience. I'd definitely like to explore correcting some of my other concerns like my chin and cheeks in future soon too!
