V.E. Eusebio Skin and Laser Center. Jet Peel AS review

I know… bigatin ang dating pag sinabi mong Jet Peel. It sounded like one major procedure that promises to improve skin condition. Well it does, many write ups said that it could improve fine lines and wrinkles. It even claims to be good for acne.

You can go google “Jet Peel” and you will see gazillions of claims and research on what Jet peel is.

What I had is Jet Peel + Acne Surgery.

Pagpasok ko palang sa clinic. I was not welcomed at all. My appointment is for 4pm. I arrived 10min early. Tinitigan muna ako ng mga receptionist na naka scrubs. Asked for my name and if I already have a record. I said sa ibang branch may record na ako. The receptionist handed me an index card, I supplied it with basic info: name, age, contact details.

One attendant shouted “JET PEEL AS DAW!”

Pakiramdam ko nasa fast food ako.

Right after, another attendant escorted me to their procedure room.

She gets a face towel from a small cabinet, left it in the counter and instructed me to wash my face then pointed out a dispensing bottle.  “yan ang towel.”

Parang cetaphil lang din yung cleanser…. Lahat ng pinuntahan kong skin clinic yung ganung cleanser ang gamit. Hindi bumubula pero madulas.

After washing my face, I used the old dry face towel on the counter.  While patting my face I asked the attendant what procedure I will undergo to, she blurted “JET PEEL DAW”.

Everybody seems to be shouting!

I asked one more, “ano pa?”

She stared blankly at me.

I said “sabi ni doc, may extraction din daw ako.”

She answered, “oo nga”

I’m in a point of running back home. Feeling ko walang ka resperespeto sa customer ang mga tao.

The main reason why I’m giving this clinic its chance or my chance on this clinic for this matter is that my first consultation with Dra.Eusebio is quite effective. She gave me some oral medication, anti-histamine, erythromycin solution, an expensive topical gel, and a very expensive sunblock. It was costly but I saw improvement on my skin in just about 3 days.

So back with the story,                     

“para kang inii-Spray”

Whissh. 

So yun nga yung jet peel. 

After 5 min of swirling that water and air jet on my face, it stopped. She wiped my face. Her hand was heavy. She sprayed again. Seems like same velocity for me. I don’t know it may halo na gamot yung water… I really don’t know. And the attendant doesn’t seem to care to tell me what the heck she’s doing on my face.  Maybe bad breath s’ya… just maybe.

Then she shut down the machine. 

Tapos na? I felt …. Walang nabago. Walang lang. pakiramdam ko lang nabasa at hinipan ang mukha ko.

 She opened the light on the magnifying glass that facial centers have. That’s the signal that Acne surgery is about to commence… I’m ready.

She wiped my face. grabe ang bigat talaga ng kamay nya. Parang nageescoba ng toilet.

She pricked my forehead! Hell yeah! She pricked my forehead. Walang warning. Walang paapaalam. I felt violated! Grabe. Wala munang steaming  or whatever.

She’s harsh. Then she moved her way to my right cheek. When she senses that I’m not comfortable, she said ,”hindi ko na tatanggalin yung malalalim, masasaktan ka lang.”

Aba @#$%!!

 I answered, “ano bang sabi sayo ni doc?”

“I priprick kita pero hindi ko na tatanggalin yung malalalim kasi nga masasaktan ka lang”

“ewan ko, kung anong sinabi sayo ni doktora, yun nalang gawin mo.”

“ang dami saka ang titigas pa”

She showed me a tissue with my extracted black heads.

I shut my eyes. I don’t even care if that woman will get a knife and kill me. I know she’s pissed. I am double pissed!

Another attendant came in and nakipag tsismisan! P@#$#$%&! Talagang nagchismisan sila sa harapan ko. I opened my eyes, I  stared at the  attendant.  Hindi man lang sya nagreact! Tuloy pa rin ang chismisan nung dalwa. 5 min siguro yun.

I’m triple pissed.

She extracted blackheads on my left cheek. She gets back to finish her business on my right cheek. Then my nose, she said “kaya pa?”

I replied a stiff, “Oo.”

She continued extracting black and white heads on my nose and then my chin.

Turned off the light, she gets a gauze form a stainless steel, placed it on my face, Turned on that laser wand. And then she literally waved that wand on my face. Her hand was so heavy that the gauze was moving all over my face. It was a mere 30 seconds.

“Tapos na”, she said.

I answered “nanjan na ba si Doktora?”

She shooked her head.

I looked myself in the mirror. And just before I blink, she said “mapula pa yan dahil sa pricking, matatanggal din yan.”

“Alam ko, hindi ko first time,” I said.

OMG!

I had my first facial when I was in 2^nd year HS. I had good and bad ones. I had my acne surgery from a derma one time, I cried not because it’s painful but because I am so down and hopeless. I even had glycolic peel at Belomed and I cried like a baby that time. But this time, at V.E. Eusebio’s Skin and Laser Center, I didn’t even shed a tear on that pricking session.

Right after the procedure, I went to see Dra. Eusebio. I haven’t fully entered the room yet, she said that my face improved. I attest to that. And I guess she will say that because I’m religiously following her very direction.

She said that I have to get another jet peel next week.

Weekly jet peel??? That’s crazy on the budget!

She said to continue my medications.

It was the doctor that only called me Ma’am. The fact that I’m half her age she’s the doctor, she doesn’t have to say that to me.

I went out and asked the receptionist if I can have my appointment to be done at their branch at SM Calamba. She said yes.

Pakiramdam ko minadali yung procedure sa akin. Wala pang 1 hr. tapos na ako sa Jet Peel AS. Kahit naman dun sa local facial center sa amin, kahit hindi mahal ang singil nila ok naman ang service.  

I think I’ll give myself one last try at their clinic in SM. If they are consistent, then I’ll be walking the other way. To think, I still have one week to see if my skin will improve because of this Jet Peel AS before I conclude something

V.E. Eusebio Skin and Laser Center is located at Junction, Los Banos, Laguna and at 3F SM Calamba. Compared to other skin clinics, they are cheaper. 250 for facial (they call it Complete Facial), 550 facial with mask, 1000 for peels, and they also offer 5+1free packages.

For Php 1,350.00, I had Jet Peel AS. I can’t say that I’m not happy with the treatment. I’m not even sure if I can say it’s a treatment.  But obviously it’s SUPER cheap compared to 4.5K jet peel form Belomed. 

I don’t know…

I think I still can give them another shot.

I think I should give myself one more shot at this clinic.
