It's perfect for women like me who cannot leave the office early. I chose Flawless because it's different from the other beauty services that abounds the metro. It's more of a medical clinic than a beauty salon or spa. For one, they call their clients as \"patients\" instead of customers. They also have in-house doctors whom you can consult first before availing any of the offered face, body or medical services.

She guided me through the procedure by explaining to me the different creams that she applied on my face. The Acne Control is definitely the \"hardcore\" facial treatment of Flawless. It's a no non-sense treatment and it's all-business. After the initial clean-up, I was given anti-bacterial creams right away that will help solve my break-outs. There were no face massages or deep cleaning like the usual so as not to irritate the skin (makes sense, right?). The extraction part was a bit uncomfortable but it was not as painful with Jenny's light touch. The facial ended with a cool antiseptic mask that will further help in preventing break-outs. One more good thing that I liked about the service are the amazing hand warmers (like cooking gloves) that they gave while I was having my facial. The aim is to relax the tired hand muscles and improve blood circulation. This extra treat is perfect for me since I spend most of my days typing on my laptop's keyboard.
