New York Skin Solutions Review

I’ve been wanting to review New York Skin Solutions since end of 2011 and I am finally getting down to it! Haha.

If you know me in real life, you might have realized that my skin condition has improved remarkably over the course of the last half a year. And it’s no secret!

I started to diligently take measures to improve my acne-ridden skin from last year but   despite drinking water regularly, eating healthily, doing masks at home and exercising (albeit very little) my skin condition wasn’t improving. I was very vexed and frustrated and I decided I will do something about it.

So between seeing a dermatologist, taking medicine that will reduce oil production in the skin glands but at the risk of liver damage and going for facial, I decided I will go for facial.

New York Skin Solutions was having a promotion on the papers then and so I called for a complimentary consultation and treatment and I decided to sign for 20 treatment sessions with them after that first session.

After 2-3 months of about 5 treatments, my skin improved remarkably. The acne marks were slowly fading and what’s better is that the oil glands on my face were kept under control after the treatments have successfully restored the balance of facial glands and hence, lesser acne/pimples!

Although I must stress that while going for facial, I continued to maintain drinking water regularly, eating fresh fruits and vegetables, taking lesser fried and sugary food (especially soft drinks), avoid the sun, put sun block and also taking Evening Primrose Oil supplementary pills nightly. So it’s a multi pronged approach that really restored the balance and health of my skin. ^^,

If you are a guy, (or a teenage girl new to all these skin care regime) you must be pretty awed at the tenacity of what girls like me go through to maintain good skin. The old adage “There is no ugly women, only lazy ones” holds true in the case of good skin care maintenance. Though one can also argue, money is also needed to fund all these, then I’d say go find a job to fund your beauty need(s)! I would say that it’s not cheap, but it’s the best investment I’ve ever made because it solved my skin problems and I have more confidence because I feel less inferior due to my skin condition. Even if you don’t go to NY Skin at the end of my post, I’d still encourage you to start going about resolving your skin condition because it’s worth it. (:

I’d briefly go through what New York Skin Solutions treatment is like and for images, I’d recommend checking on Holly’s blog review on them here.

I visit the New York Skin Solutions branch in Eastpoint Mall. There are many outlets all over Singapore, so if you are keen, give them a ring and ask them where’s the outlet most convenient for you.

If you are like me (in the past) and want to find a solution to your skin problems and you stay in the east, I’d recommend that you give the Eastpoint Mall branch (#04-01) a call at 6789 5566, ask for my beautician Yuki, and say that I (Jia En) referred you to her and you’d received a complimentary consultation and facial treatment. After the session, you can then decide for yourself if you want to sign a package with them or not. I am not paid to do this review for them but for every successful referral/sign up, I would in turn receive one facial treatment for making a successful referral. Yay for you and I, good things should be shared. (;

The consultation will begin with a skin analysis. I am no expert in this area, but I remember my pores were clogged up and that was why my acne and pimple condition persisted. Yuki explained to me that after the treatments, my pores would be cleansed and my skin health restored and my condition would improve. She also mentioned about the collagen of my skin if not properly maintained, would sag, but if properly maintained, it would retain it’s triangular shape. She compared enlarged digital snaps of my then oily facial skin versus my fair and smooth hand skin and I could tell that the condition of face was pretty bad.

The treatment will begin with cleansing then a mask, followed by extraction (of pimples) which will hurt especially at the first few treatments. Then there will be double mask, where they will apply serum/cream depending on your skin condition, a gauze, followed by a cold mask. This cold mask helps to reduce the redness after extraction and it’s especially good for sensitive skin. It’s also my favourite part of the treatment, haha.

My classmate also goes to NY Skin and she testifies that it’s better compared to others she’s been to because the post-treatment redness is the least. It’s true, nowadays after  I go for treatment, the redness is barely obvious.

Usually the treatment ends with a neck and shoulder massage but I usually opt out because it’s too ticklish for me.
If you’re wondering how long the whole treatment takes. it’s approximately 1-1.30 hour depending on the speed of the beautician that day, haha. This is how a typical session goes:
Cleansing (15 Min)
Mask (15 Min)
Double Ice Mask (20-30 Min)
Cleansing, Massage, Apply Sun block (15 Min)
So, to end off this review I shall post a pretty pictures as testament to the condition of my skin. post-treatments. HAHA. Actually I’ve been already posting a lot of my post-treatment photos already la, but indulge me. (:
This picture with B was taken in October last year about 2 months after I started going to NY Skin Solutions. The improvement of my skin was really remarkable and really when I started to take a lot of pictures. Haha.
This one’s in Dec last year and it’s when I’ve also stopped applying foundation on my skin because the NY Skin beautician says it clogs pores. So I only apply eyeliner, blusher and occasional lipstick! Besides, with good skin, there’s no need for foundation to cover uneven patches/scars etc. (:
Another pic with B, so you can see an up close picture of my face, taken in Jan this year. Again, it’s only eye liner and blusher here. I have pretty bad eye bags… from all my ill-disciplined late nights. Sobs. I need to really discipline myself to sleep early.
Another pic in Feb. Skin here looks really good. HAHA. Okay, but also because it’s taken with B’s magical Casio TR 100 Camera. With the awesome function, we look super good in them. HAHA.
Which leads me to… I will compose another post titled “Cheat sheet” to pretty profile pictures. HEHE. Mostly involves IPhone and wonderful IPhone Apps! (:
Hope you enjoyed this post! Comment if you have any questions and I will get back to you.

      1. does your 1 session include uplifting, whitening the scars and neck and eyes facial or it’s counted as 4 sessions bec of 4 different parts.

  1. Hi, would you mind to take up my facial package? I got allergic reaction after their complimentary facial and they dont want to refund the money to me. They asking me to find a transferee to absorb the package value. I saw you quite satisfied with their facial so hope you can help me. In short, if you ok with it . We meet up at any branch of NYSS to perform the transfer procedure. Once done, you pay me the package costs around S$500++. I look forward to hearing from you. Your kind assistance is very much appreciate, Thanks.

  2. I had extremely unhappy experience in Newyork skin solution,at the plaza-sin. The staff, who named Ada, attended to me with very bad attitude. I felt so upset with your service!!!

  3. Just had my facial today @ New York skin solutions plaza Singapore and was shocked that I did not get a shoulder massage. When I asked the beautician, she said this package does not include a shoulder massage. I actually paid $500 plus for 5 sessions and was surprised that the facial does not include a shoulder massage!!!!

  4. Hello Ena, just wondering why your review of NY Skin didn’t include of the pic of your acne skin but only the “improved” skin condition after two months? A before and after photos would be more convincing I think. There are far too many unhappy reviews out there for NY Skin. If you really had a very good experience with them, then please can you show a before and after photo so the people who needs help with their skin would have more confidence.
    Thank you for your time.

    1. Hi MK,
      I didn’t include my photo of my picture before NYSS because my acne was really quite bad and I don’t want to put up the photos of my acne online. I hope you can understand. Thanks for dropping by my blog! 🙂

  5. Waste of time….disinterested staff…..
    staff looking for selling more packages rather then doing facial…
    I had a very very bad experience.

    1. Hi Udaya! I stopped going as well… I started at Jean Yip (u can see my review on my blog as well) and I’m wondering if I wanna continue as well. Seems like both brands just wanna sell more packages at exorbitant prices.

  6. Hi Ena, I do experianced a gd treament results from NYS as you mentioned in your blog;-)
    I also suffered from acne problem that I barely go out without my BB creams;-(
    But since I started my facial treatment with NYS 1 yr ago, my skin conditions have improved a lots, thank you Jenny (my skin consultant) for the excellant job done!
    Btw, your completion look great… (envy envy)

    ^^ Evon~~

    1. Hi there, I have no obligation to reply to you. But since you took the time to leave a comment, I will also take the time to clarify that this is NOT A SPONSORED review.

      I paid the full amount of cash for the entire treatment, not a cent less. NYSS have no idea that I am a blogger, in fact I still think they have no idea that this very positive review exists as no one from NYSS has called or contacted me. I have since completed and stopped going to NYSS, cause I decided to go for more affordable facials elsewhere.

      I happened to have an entirely satisfactory experience with New York Skin Solution and I’m sorry if you didn’t. But don’t you come to my blog and accuse me of stuff that is false.

      And btw, I am now sponsored by Atlas Medical Clinic which I have written a sponsored post here: http://enabalista.com/2014/08/28/my-first-visit-to-atlas-medical-laser-aesthetics-clinic/. I see no reason why I should hide if it’s a sponsored review. If you actually bother to read my other posts, almost all my posts are sponsored. This is not labeled a sponsored review, precisely because IT IS NOT.

  7. I just change beautician. The staff who attended to me miss mandy fron west gate nyss serve me with a very bad attitude.She just want sell package.

  8. Hi Ena Teo, im happy for you as you really benefit from NYSS. I went there yesterday for facial after seeing their promotion in the FB. Frankly speaking; I find their service very poor and I strongly recommend people not to go NYSS for any skin issues as i don’t want my fellow friends to waste their time and money with NYSS! Thanks

  9. Hi Ena, liked reading your blog. Actually I was doing some research and read about New York Skin Solutions review like yours. Thanks for the honest opinion. Looks like they really did help you… Now I’m very tempted to try haha!

      1. You’re welcome! I went to try the newly opened NYSS outlet at Tiong Bahru. Not bad, their service was good. They weren’t too pushy actually. Or at least I didn’t find it so. I did share with them that I read your blog and decided to give it a try! Signed a package. Let’s see how it goes.
