I am sure those who frequent Kemang will not fail to see the big white building with a huge signage- Miracle Aesthetic Clinic. For those who follow my blog, you will know that I am always on a lookout for a nice spa or beauty/facial places. Just as I was about to check out the clinic, Miracle Aesthetic Clinic dropped me a note to try out their treatments; great timing isn't it? :)
Many of us will probably be very skeptical about trying aesthetic treatments in Jakarta or anywhere in Indonesia, after all Jakarta is not famous like Bangkok for beauty treatments. So on the Saturday before I left Jakarta for our holiday, I dragged Hubby G with me to check out Miracle Aesthetic Clinic. They offered a consultation before trying any treatments including facial. I met one of the aesthetic doctors and she took me through the list of available treatments the clinic offers- Botox, Fillers, IPL, Facial, etc.
As usual, the cynical me checked with the doctor if the products are legitimate and I was thrilled to find out that they only carry US-certified products for e.g Juvederm, Restylane, Botox. Yay, I now know where to go for botox after I give birth; I did it in Singapore as it helps to curb my bruxism. The only thing is that I am pregnant now so I wouldn't risk doing any of these treatments so I opted for a facial treatment- Hydra Balancing Facial Treatment (~750,000 idr/ 75usd) which was recommended by the doctor for my skin type (normal-dry skin).
interior that greeted me in the lobby, I would have expected the facial treatment room to be more uplifting/relaxing? The room would probably do better with a touch of warm lighting as well as some decor on the walls perhaps. Currently it looks too clinical for spa treatments, however the pro is that the room was kept and maintained very clean.
The extraction process began and then I laid still, anticipating for the pain. A minute passed. Mmmm...no pain? I continued to wait for the stab. Nothing. I could feel the therapist diligently and furiously removing my substantial amount of blackheads (Jakarta is very polluted...my pores just get clogged up so quickly) however the only discomfort I felt was just occasional pricks here and there. Finally she was done with clearing out my clogged skin and passed me a mirror to look at my face before she proceeded with the next step- the hydrating mask.
Wow the least painful and cleanest extraction I ever had!
Ninety minutes quickly passed and the therapist cleaned off the super thick mask off me; And my skin felt so clean and supple (refer to the unglam picture I posted above), the redness after extraction was also very minimal.
I think I've found the best facial treatment place in Jakarta. If you have read my previous posts, you would know I have been a fan of Martha Tilaar Spa's facial treatments(read review here) but now it seems like I have a new fave. To make things easier for you, I'll do a quick comparison below.
Now after comparing my two favourite facial places, you would probably realise that each have their own attractive factors. If you are not as price sensitive, I would highly recommend you to try the facial treatment at Miracle Aesthetic Clinic at least once. I was extremely pleased with how my skin felt and looked after the treatment.

Ambience
I was led to the facial room which...to be frank, I wasn't very impressed with. I guess I have been too spoiled from all the nice balinese spas which has amazing interior designs. From the overallinterior that greeted me in the lobby, I would have expected the facial treatment room to be more uplifting/relaxing? The room would probably do better with a touch of warm lighting as well as some decor on the walls perhaps.

Service
Alright interior decor aside, I was very impressed with other aspects. The facial therapist was extremely friendly and considerate. She was the only therapist (out of so many spas I've tried in Jakarta) who noticed that I am pregnant lol...and offered me a cushion to support my back during the treatment. What a big difference this makes for a pregnant woman! I felt so much more comfortable to lay ninety minutes on my back.Professionalism
The treatment started with the usual cleansing and then a light peel for exfoliation before extraction. The therapist showed me the extraction tools which were new and sealed in sterile packs before she began the extraction. Every customer are being served with a new set of extraction tools. Really impressive hygiene level for Jakarta standards! Oh and I forgot to mention..the therapist wore gloves throughout the whole treatment.The extraction process began and then I laid still, anticipating for the pain. A minute passed. Mmmm...no pain?
