I don’t know with you, but facials always connotate pain to me. All the pricking and peeling makes it feel more of a task to check off my to-do list. It has always been like this to me until I tried a Japanese facial at Shiseido Spa. You see, japanese facials don’t do painful procedures and rely on their potent products to do the work. Upon inviting me to try their facial at Shiseido Spa, they promised me it would be a pampering session. 

I was booked for a 60 minute Defend & Regenerate Facial Treatment. Shiseido believes that the key to beautiful, vibrant skin is in its own natural defensive and regenerative powers. Through their exclusive skin science research, they’ve developed a holistic approach to channel these powers, for skin that resists problems and improves its own condition for the future. 

There are three kinds of D&R treatments available: Hydration Facial, Whitening Facial and Anti-wrinkle Facial. Since my top concern was dullness and light acne scars, I decided to go for the Whitening facial.

As you’ll witness in my instagram story videos, my face went from dull to bright. I’ve had followers message me that week how amazed they were on how my skin got glowing in just one session. Tiny dots and blackheads were almost nowhere to be seen. See photo of my skin below after my facial session.

The glow lasted for more than a week and my skin texture remained supple for two weeks. I was advised to go back in two or three weeks to maintain my glow. Below is a photo of my face with minimal pressed powder sans the foundation.

The D&R facial is at P1,900 while there are other facials available if you want a more intense treatment. 

Yutaka facial treatment is premium facial designed to lift and sculpt while providing nourishing radiance. It combines Shiseido’s most advanced skincare line, Future Solution LX, with a specialized facial massage by using a tool instead of the fingers. Together, these elements smooth visible signs of aging and stimulates circulation for a more youthful, lifted appearance that lasts. 

Another facial they offer is the Cryo Facial treatment or “freeze therapy”. The procedure allows for more intensive penetration of skin care formulas that stimulate collagen production. It also makes skin more radiant by improving oxygen and nutrient supply. 

All products used are from various Shiseido products from different product lines, depending on your preferred facial variant / service.

Shiseido Spa is available in the following locations:

I had mine done in Greenbelt 5. My beauty therapist was Christine. Do request for her when you book your facial. She has the lightest hand and was professional and helpful with information the entire time.
