Review of the Service: Upon entering The Spa, Acropolis (currently the only branch that o�ers the service), I was greeting warmly by Dr. Mata, who brought the procedure to the Philippines. He then proceeded to carefully examine my face together with his technician, pointing at di�erent parts of my face. The �rst thing I noticed was the sound of the Intraceuticals machine, which reminded me of hearing some-one breathing heavily while sleeping. The technician explained that using Hyperbaric Oxygen Technology, the machine re�nes the air and pumps out 95% pure oxygen out of what they call an Oxygen Infuser (it basically looks like a pen without a metal tip). My technician �rst did the right side my face in order for me to see the di�erence. After thirty minutes, she applied a Contour Eye Gel, Hydtration Gel and Moisture Binding Cream on my skin before showing me the results. Honestly I'll admit at �rst glance the only thing I noticed was that one side was more supple than the other but when she started pointing out my now smoother laugh lines and lightened dark circles, I started looking more closely. The biggest change was how much higher my right eyebrow was. Seriously it was about 3cm higher than the left side, as if I had just undergone a brow lift. The result was de�nitely skin that felt and looked refreshed. She then �nished o� my other side before showing me the complete transformation. After it was all done, I looked like I had gotten a full day of sleep judging from how refreshed and hydrated my skin was. What's even better was that my technician told me that results would be even better 48 hours later.

General Comments:Whoever said that no pain no gain obviously hadn't experienced an Intraceuticals Infusion yet. Although it will set you o� a couple of thousands, its best reserved for special occasions when you need that extra glow. Also, I would recommend setting a whole morning or afternoon aside to get the treatment, because although it only takes around an hour to �nish, there is some waiting involved, which can extend your treatment to around two hours or more if you do decide to use the other spa amenities.
