16 October 2023 Manila, Philippines - Dermorepubliq, TikTok Shop Philippines' top skincare brand, has launched its newest physical stores at SM Fairview and Riverbanks Center Marikina, marking a significant milestone for the emerging brand in the Philippine skincare industry.

Laser Precision in Picoseconds
Luminisce unveils first class line of laser treatment for skin care.
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 in 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, its 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 shatters pigments much easily.
Meanwhile, PicoPlus is one of the most versatile Pico lasers in the market. It has both nano and picosecond pulse duration at 450ps, 2ns with the 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 damages on the surrounding tissue or downtime of other lasers).
Book a consultation with a Luminisce dermatologist today by calling 0977-804-4601 to get your own bespoke customized treatment plan for your pigmentation concern.
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/

Ever Bilena - 3-step Korean Grooming and Pampering Regimen for Men
Who doesn’t want to look like one of your K-pop idols? Achieving the Korean idol look (read: really bright, flawless skin) may seem next to impossible, but with a good grooming and pampering routine, you’ll be able to create a clean canvas that is your skin.
Blackwater presents the following steps to male grooming and pampering using its Korean Skincare Set to help you create a Korean skincare routine that is simple, quick, and easy to maintain.
Step 1: Deeply cleanse your skin
A noticeable feature among Korean idols is their oil-free skin. The key here is to deeply cleanse your face without stripping the skin of its natural moisture. The Charcoal Facial Foam does just that with key ingredients like bamboo and cucumber extracts to remove deep-seated dirt and control oil production on your face, while keeping it hydrated and energized. After a good cleansing, your skin feels refreshed and reinvigorated!
Step 2: Moisturize your way to bright skin
Moisturizing the facial skin helps lock in moisture and create a preventive barrier to protect your skin against harsh impurities. The SPF-based Energizing Moisturizer shields your face against UV rays, while keeping pore appearance improved and the skin brighter and more rejuvenated with its chestnut and Hinoki cypress leaf extracts. It’s lightweight, too, which means you won’t feel the heaviness of walking around with anything extra on your face.
Step 3: Pamper for extra supple complexion
Sheet masks are that one key ingredient that separates a Korean-looking skin from the rest. Use the Charcoal Sheet Mask to finish off your skincare routine to benefit from its charcoal and witch hazel ingredients that soothe and hydrate to extra moisturize the skin, leaving it softer and more supple. It’s a quick fix, too, for when you need to look instantly radiant for any occasion.
Get on the Korean skincare bandwagon now by including the Blackwater Korean Skincare Set among your must-haves. Available in leading supermarkets nationwide,atLazada (www.lazada.com.ph) and Shopee (www.shopee.ph).

Holi-YAY Tips You Can do for a #FlakeFreeChristmas
‘Tis the season to be jolly, to spread love, and share the spirit of Christmas with your loved ones. Of course, what better way to have fun in the season of sharing when you know your scalp and hair are healthy and flake-free? White Christmas may not happen in our country, but have you checked if your scalp is experiencing a 'Winter Wonderland’ from the visible flakes caused by the change in season? Other than the dry air, we can't deny the fact that we were tempted once (or even many times) to skip washing our hair because of the extremely cold water, and we don’t even realize that it’s a step closer to dandruff.
And because people are more prone to dandruff than any other time of the year, here are some tips you can do to fully enjoy a #FlakeFreeChristmas this December.
1. Brace yourself for the cold weather!
As the Ber month starts to enter, some places in the Philippines with higher altitude starts to get colder. You might want to bring out those thick clothing because the sweater weather is coming in! Walk in style with your stylish sweaters, pants, and even boots to protect yourself from the cold breeze. With the northwest monsoon coming in, dandruff is most likely to occur as well in this season because of the dry air and infrequent washing. Using the right anti-dandruff shampoo can cleanse your scalp while keeping the dandruff away.
2. Take it slow. Chill.
It’s the perfect time to de-stress! Forget your worries at the moment. Learn how to take things slow and treat yourself. You may visit the mall to check out an interesting flick to watch, eat in a fancy restaurant, or buy some new clothes for the coming holiday parties. You can channel your inner Zen as well by visiting the spa to get a massage or practice daily meditation or yoga at home. Occasionally, a ten-minute walk or a regular jogging also helps to blow off steam.
Being stressed and anxious can weaken the body’s natural defenses, making it hard for the body to naturally fight disease-causing bacteria like Malassezia globosa – the main culprit to dandruff. That is why unwinding every now and then is not only beneficial for your mind but also scalp and hair. To complete your total scalp care, use Head & Shoulders! With magnetic lifting foam that removes all traces of dandruff and scalp odor and makes your shower experience more enjoyable with its creamy lather.
3. Schedule an out-of-town trip.
Tired of celebrating at the same old place? Why not go somewhere you’ve never been to before? Book a flight or take an out-of-town trip! Explore, discover cities and meet new people from different walks of life. Starting from our country, there are lots of places to visit, and different activities to do. This Christmas, why not experience your first hike in Mount Pulag in Benguet, or go spelunking and sight-see the stalagmites and stalactites of the famously known Sumaguing Cave in Sagada? If you’re more of a beach person and would like to avoid the holiday traffic, travel the outskirts of Batangas to snorkel or dive with the fishes or just a relaxing swim at Tingloy or Laiya, or go surfing in the waves of Siargao.
Travelling with a buddy like Head & Shoulders Cool Menthol will also make you feel cool and clean no matter the weather.
4. Reunite with your family and friends.
Christmas is a great time to revisit and create new memories with your family and friends. But as the gatherings and party invites start to turn up, you might overbeat your hair with styling products that cause damages like nutrient loss, split ends, frizziness, breakage, dryness, and hair fall. You may also start to feel itchy from the product buildup that may result to a flaky scalp.
Despite of these fears, you can still feel confident to keep a close contact with anyone with the right shampoo that can keep the itching and soon-to-be dandruff away. Head & Shoulders Smooth & Silky can make your dandruff worries away and nourish hair from the damages. It also has a floral scent that will make your hair oh so fragrant!
