First-ever Medi-spa event!

Doctors lead a hectic life and more so for female doctors as they often have to juggle many different roles in life – mother, daughter, friend, doctor, wife and girlfriend!

No one understands women doctors better than the AWDS and knowing how stressed and hectic a fellow doctor often is, the association is determined to help these weary ones pamper their bodies, rejuvenate their minds and revitalise their souls.

Bearing in mind the needs of the members, the new committee organised their first ever medi-spa event. Held on 30 August 2006 at Penthouse Aesthetiques, the event was a cosy and intimate affair and after a day of hard work, members were instantly cheered up by the relaxing and soothing ambience and the invigorating citrus essential oils.

The doctors sampled a range of treatments including microdermabrasion, vitamin C, hand and shoulder massage, back massage, facial, liposonic plus (non-surgical fat reduction treatment that utilises ultrasound, vacuum therapy and lymphatic drainage to liquefy and remove unwanted deep fat deposits).

Dr Tan Yah Yuen, Consultant Breast Surgeon, KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital who tried the microdermabrasion and vitamin c treatments on her hands, marvelled at the noticeable effects of the treatments.

The association also invited the founder and master blender of TeaSpa , Ms Serene Sorenson, who shared with the doctors, the numerous benefits of teas and their amazing restorative power.

All members walked away, feeling recharged and with an attractive goodie bag, sponsored by Penthouse Aesthetiques and some tea samples from TeaSpa.
