House Of Wax

Comfort zone: Relax while you wax at Strip KL's non-clinical ambience.

THE next time you are in need of a wax, why not head down to Strip, one of Kuala Lumpur's waxing specialists in Bangsar Baru. Strip KL is a branch of Singapore's highly successful Strip. The company started its operations in KL last year and specialises in waxing treatments, particularly the Brazilian wax which is the depilation of hair from the pubic area.

Strip KL offers its waxing services to both men and women. For the Brazilian wax, there are a whole lot of shapes to choose from - a heart, a cheeky T or an arrow. You can also add crystal tattoos or shapes if you want to.

For first timers to the Brazilian wax, Strip has introduced its Hoochie Coochie Quickie session where an ice mask is applied after customers have had their Brazilian wax.

It will not only eliminate the pain factor but will also lighten the private area, which is usually discoloured. It also helps soothe and calm skin (after waxing), closes up pores as well as firms and tightens skin.

The place provides an enjoyable and relaxing ambience as well. If you're imagining of a clinical, non-descriptive environment, think again. The outlet is stylish with the interior showcasing hip street styles.

Area Manager Pua Lee Lan says, "The whole idea is to make our customers feel comfortable and relaxed. We want to give them an ambience that will help them take their mind off while waxing. We also encourage them to listen to their iPods during the session."

Strip adheres to strict guidelines for all of its sessions and is referred as 'HSQ' - hygiene, speed and quality. Only top grade waxes made from bees wax are used. Guava wax is also used to soothe sensitive areas.

"All Strip therapists are required to wear gloves and the wax is stripped off in 15 minutes," adds Pua.

The outlet offers waxing session for the back, shoulders, under arms, arms, legs and stomach. Aside from waxing, customers can also experience spa manicures and pedicures as well as brow tinting services.

Prices for waxing services range from RM9 to RM105 (depending on body areas). A full Brazilian wax is priced at RM88.

Look Younger Instantly

POWER 3nity Lift and Power 02 Lift have had clinical studies done in the United States and claim to have a regenerative effect that increases local metabolism of skin and muscle tissue, resulting in a corrective and preventative anti-aging treatment.

Power 3nity Lift and Power 02 Lift strengthen the skin and muscle by increasing the production of collagen, elastin and muscle fibers through an increased cell metabolic rate.

The skin and muscles are strengthened to resist gravity pull and environmental stress. This way, the signs of aging are effectively reduced and slowed down.

Power 3nity Lift and Power 02 Lift are safe and non-invasive treatments and do not use any laser or light therapy, vaccinations or fillers. Instead, Power 3nity Lift and Power 02 Lift use a healing current that increases the collagen and elasticity of the skin and muscle fibers.

This method is used in the burn and muscle-healing units in hospitals because of its ability to build healthy tissues.

Power 3nity Lift consists of six therapies in one treatment, The first is the Skin Refining therapy which helps in refining the texture of the skin, thus erasing and reducing fine lines. The second therapy boosts oxygen and blood circulation, thus creating brighter skin.

The third and fourth therapies lift and firm the muscles of the eye, face and neck, so the muscles are able to better resist gravity pull.

The fifth therapy is Deep Lymph Drainage therapy which can reduce pigmentation and scars in the safest, natural way.

The sixth and final therapy is a Firming and Cell Regenerating Therapy which help increase skin firmness and reduce deep pit scars, bringing skin to a new level of youthfulness.

Power 3nity Lift uses the Perfector UK Facelift machine that has been tested by doctors and skin dermatologists.

According to Aloha Yantunen, M.D.: "We have had dramatic results with the therapy when it comes to sun damage, Sunspots fade and the skin improves tremendously. Overall skin looks fresh and healthier."

Allan Han, M.D further noted: "As a plastic surgeon, I have had excellent results in using it as a non-surgical alternative as it is able to reduce scarring and improve healing."

According to Ms Shirley Lira, a 44-year-old who has undergone the therapy, Power 3nity Lift has the ability to restore the youthfulness of her skin and lift muscle tone.

She feels the treatment is relaxing and is satisfied with the results. She was pleasantly surprised to see improvement on the very first treatment.
