Event Report : Profira Member Gathering
12:50:00 AM
Hellow everybody!
Like i promised yesterday, here's a (very extensive) story about how my Saturday afternoon was spent ^.^.
Last week i got an e-mail from Christine from Profira inviting me to their special gathering in Artotel at 11.30. Since Christine mentioned that i could bring my community (meaning my friends and fellow bloggers!), i asked my cousin L and her friend Wynne (who's Thai, so i wasn't sure she understood 95% of what the MC and doctors talked about but she saw the demos, right Wynne?), as well as Kathy. I also posted the notice in Surabaya Beauty Bloggers group in FB (Profira was kind enough to let me bring 10 people with me!) but i'm guessing the notice was a bit too short and most of my fellow bloggers still work in Saturday so sadly only two other bloggers could attend beside Kathy and i.

L, Wynne, Kathy and i. There's a reason why Kathy and i dressed like our national flag... |
The theme of the day is Forever 20, they are introducing their Profira Total Lift procedure to turn your skin to 20 year old's skin ^^! |
I must be honest that i got a bit shamelessly excited when i heard that the event was held at Artotel, a uniquely artsy decorated hotel that i've passed many times but never entered and it provided us with a perfect setting for our little photoshoot later, so double thank you Profira :D...
I instantly liked the homey, relaxing atmosphere that the hotel's lobby gave but didn't have enough time to snap pictures of the lobby (which we more than make up later when taking outfit pics!).
Only this one. That's the MC right there in the sofa, when i uploaded this pic i realized that he was staring at my camera... was he posing??? |
The setting of the Total Lift Demo, look at the graffiti style stairs! Pretty awesome! |
I can't take my eyes off this cute lamp (and later, cam-who with it :p) |
There's also a patio if you prefer to dine outdoor |
I've been attending quite a few events in this past year and i must add that Profira did a great job, some companies wouldn't bother giving my "plus one" a goodie bag if they're not a blogger but this time round both L and Wynne were also handed goodie bags (with very nice contents, i must add!), a total plus point for Profira's team for being so generous!
L posing with her goodie bag happily |
I do remember Dr. Fifin though (i hope i do!) |
The demo of that day was Profira's Total Lift, which i already wrote in details in this post so i'm not yap too much about the procedure itself (please click the link to the previous post if you're interested to read the details about this procedure), but in short Profira Total Lift is a non-invasive procedure using special medical threads (that would dissolve into your system after a period of time, estimated for 6-8 month to a year) that's inserted under your facial skin to lift them up and give a younger, fresher appearance.
The thread lift stimulates collagen growth (the straight thread, in specific) and tighten slack skin from the lifting effect |
They have a few different types of threads (straight, toothed and one that if i'm not mistaken is called happy thread??) that are used according to your skin's need |
OMG so sorry for snapping this not very flattering pic of yours, dear doctor! |
What i really liked about Profira's doctors attitude towards their patience is their "It's better to under correct than over correct" motto, they believe when you do less you can always touch up where it run short, whereas when you overdone in a procedure there's really no going back (except waiting for the effect to run out for these non permanent procedures, which would take up to a year!). In Profira, each patient would have to have extensive consultations with the doctors before doing any procedure so they can determine what work's need to be done. They will not push you to do unnecessary procedures (just to gain profit) but steer you to the right direction and get what you really need only.

This is the BEFORE |
Starting with anesthesia injections |
Inserting the threads (two threads were used on each sides, four in total. The number of threads used on each side may vary) |
Can you see how the doctor's gently pulling the thread to lift the skin? |
The right side (left from your position) was immediately lifted, compare it to the left side which hadn't been touched yet! Pretty amazing! |
While the good doctor's completing the procedure, the MC started to announce the lucky door prize winners |
Third winner |
Second winner |
And the first winner. They all received different values of MAP vouchers (OMG! So jealous *LOL*!) and more Profira vouchers (i think. I honestly can only remember the MAP vouchers >.<) |
After the total lift procedure, to perfect the patient/model's new youthful look the doctor continued with some filler for the patient/model's under eyes area.
The doctor gently massaging the under eye to even out and sculpt the filler into place |
The right (again, left from your side) eye immediately looked bigger, more awake and fresher compared to the other eye! |
On to the next side |
Looking so much younger and more radiant, aunty! |
While watching the demo, we also had some nice buffet lunch at Roca Restaurant. Of course, bloggers must be bloggers and we snapped lots of pics of the restaurant as well...
Wonder if the black and white figurines are salt and pepper shakers or just decorations? Totally caught my eyes... |
L, who had been whining about being starving immediately tucked in *LOL* |
Ohh, pretty colored ice cream! Not sure if they're part of the buffet though *LOL* |
My lunch |
After the demo was finished they did a shorter demo (of thread lifting) on another, much younger (probably my age? Could be older, could also be younger since young people nowadays seems to look much older than me *LOL*) patient (she just wanted to keep/define her V-shape instead of lifting because her skin definitely needed no lifting yet). I did snap a few pics before scampering off to take outfit pictures with Kathy and L (seriously L snapped horrible pics *LOL*, i guess bloggers are photographers by practice because when Kathy and i take turns snapping each other... The result is pretty awesome-if i may say so myself! L's quite offended though *LOLOLOL*)-which i will blog about next, but that means that i missed on the AFTER result so i decided not to post pictures of her here *sorry* because it'd be incomplete....
We left Nessya to guard our goodie bags *LOL*, she looked kinda lost here :)) |
Nessya, Widya, Kathy, moi, L, Wynne |
Not only that, Christine also passed me some vouchers for free treatments for the bloggers! Kathy's not into facials though and she told me to have her voucher, so i'm bringing my mum for a pampering session (if you can call facial a pampering session, that is), i hate going for facials alone (i got another voucher from another clinic but ended up giving it to my mum because i just can't deal with going for a solo facial as well as taking pictures for review purposes!) and i intend to do a review on the facial so it'll be easier if there's someone else there that i can take a pic of heehee :p!
I want to thank Profira for having me (and letting me bring many friends :D) on their fun event and for the generous gifts! Thank you Christine for the invitation!
