VLCC Wellness Centre – A Destination For All Your Beauty Needs!

When recently I got the event invite from VLCC, I thought finally I can have a weight loss session with them. That’s the first thing that strike us when we hear about VLCC – Slimming and Weight Loss. But that was proved wrong when I attended the beauty and personal care session event with the VLCC experts at their centre in Bangalore.

Beauty Services

We received the warmest welcome by the entire VLCC team. They were much courteous too. I can see the posters related to skin, hair etc. along with some refreshments like fruit bowl, cupcakes etc. The entire ambience was quite warm and friendly as I sat along with my fellow bloggers who were as much intrigued as me. Once the session started with the entrance of specialist we got to know more about the services offered by VLCC Wellness Centre and about all the issues they deal with in the centre. As it’s summer the main talk was on sun protection regimes, later on followed by hair fall issues, acne and weight management, which was followed by a complimentary hand and foot massage to all of us. Not just that they do even offer services like Beauty services, Salon services, Laser & Dermat services. They have beauty products line which includes facial kits, skin whitening products, sun protection, anti ageing products, lip balms etc.

 

The most trendiest facial is been done at VLCC – Vampire Facial. I was bit surprised when I came to know that. Vampire Facial is famous because of Kardashians which is nothing but a PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) a form of blood taken out from your skin and applied to your face with derma roller which encourages cellular growth, stimulates healing and imparts a youthful appearance of skin. Treatments like Derma Heal Eye Treatment to reduce visible signs of ageing and Visionergy to minimise superficial signs of ageing is done even.

Hair Fall

I am glad to know that VLCC is not just a slimming and weight loss centre; it is a one stop destination for all our Beauty and personal care needs from skin, hair to body.

VLCC Style Statements

I had first visited VLCC ages ago along with a cousin who was then undergoing a weight loss program, and I’ve always associated VLCC to be just a slimming service center. Then last year they had a meet up where they introduced us to DNA Skin based skin care and anti aging treatments, which kind of expanded my knowledge about the center. A couple of week’s back VLCC had a bloggers meet in Hyderabad to introduce everyone about their range of services and products.

 

The meet-up started off with an introduction to their Category Manager Mrs. Sushmita Verma, who would be giving us the talk about all the services, after which we were given a tour of the entire facility. From having an Ayurveda therapy room to a gym room, they had it all. They pride themselves in having minimally invasive, non-surgical procedures and the team explained how seriously they take ethical responsibility to be their main concern. They even had a counselor on board to provide counseling to customers before they undertook any procedure, and to make sure they were opting for them for the right reasons.

 

The services that they provide range from slimming, beauty services, salon services, laser and dermat services. Some of the best ones are:

Vampire facelift: If you have dull and sallow looking skin, maintaining a glowing skin is hard work. Platelet rich plasma is a form of blood plasma, taken from your own blood that has been enriched with platelets and growth factors and applied to your face with derma roller to stimulate growth and healing on the required parts giving them a youthful radiance.

Visionergy

An intensely concentrated treatment, Visionergy is engineered to tackle problems commonly faced in the eye contour area. Powered by a blend of potent actives, 3 combinative actions work holistically and penetrate deep into the skin to promote regeneration for an astounding skin transformation. Visionergy minimizes and aids in addressing current superficial signs of aging while simultaneously performing at a deeper level to prevent the formation of future skin flaws. Skin feels plumper, firmer and denser to the touch and a natural luminosity emerges. A soothing action targets eye bags and puffiness to revitalize the entire eye area, smoothing out skin and giving the eye contours a minimized appearance of wrinkles and lines.

 

Gold thread Lift

The procedure uses a unique implantation technique whereby micro-fine gold threads are inserted into the skin with a needle. One single treatment completes the procedure that lasts between 60 to 90 minutes. An invisible gold web is weaved to hold the facial tissues in place and prevent sagging of the skin or wrinkle formation. The thread is made up of real 24 karat gold, which tightens and rejuvenates the face, giving it a fresh and appealing look.

 

Derma heal eye treatment

This is an eye filler treatment, exclusively formulated with innovative bio actives. It dramatically reduces the visible signs of ageing around eye area by instant wrinkle filling effect. 24 hour-lasting hydration improves skin texture and boosts radiance.

 

Lash extension and micro blading coming soon

If you’re looking for a long-term solution for your scarce or tiny lashes then here’s where you need to be. They can fix you lashes which will stay for a good 15-18 months and you can stop worrying about mascara or wearing your false lashes every day. Another new service is micro blading, wherein they set your eyebrows in proper shape, give a beautiful color (maybe, natural pink) to your lips, so you when you wake up every morning, you don’t need to spend a lot of time doing make up to look naturally mesmerizing!

VLCC Coolsculpt : Get the Shape You Want

I hope the mid-week is treating you good! I recently came across a very innovate  treatment by VLCC called ‘Coolsculpt’ that can help a person lose fat in problematic areas from the very first sitting of the treatment! I was impressed when I first heard about it at the #VLCCStyleStatements event that happened in Chennai a few days ago! (I’m doing a post on it soon!)

Mind you, Coolsculpt involves no surgery, no appetite suppressant, no change in hormones and no crash dieting – which is a great news for health-conscious people. Let me share a brief on the treatment with you today!

Coolscupting is a process of freezing and destroying unwanted fat under your skin with a handheld device! This kind of treatment involves no chemicals, no medicine and moreover, it is non-surgical and it doesn’t affect your skin! (Fat is very temperature sensitive compared to your skin) It is not a regular weight-loss program where you may need to cut on your calorie intake, take medicines and spend hours and hours on working out but an FDA approved slimming treatment where you can directly target the problematic areas and reduce the fat for a firmer, slimmer and younger appearance! In short, Coolsculpt enables you to get rid of the unwanted fat cells – just where you want! And thus, you can fit into your favorite clothes and feel confident!

how to lose weight

 How long does it take to work? : VLCC claims that the Coolsculpt works in reducing the fat from the first sitting itself; within two weeks, the results show up and within three months, it’s a different YOU!

 For who? : Since it doesn’t lead to weight loss all over the body, Coolsculpt is not only meant for someone who is overweight! If you feel you work out all the week but still struggle to achieve a flat stomach, Coolsculpt is made just for you! If you have a stubborn double chin, it is for you too!

In my views, this unique way of reducing unwanted fat can help you save a LOT of time and more importantly, your health by not letting you to crash-diet, to achieve the desirable shape you want! If you want to lose weight in a particular area, working out and maintaining your diet are the right options instead of crash dieting (It can ruin your body MORE than you think. From hair loss, insomnia to chronic illnesses – it can lead to anything when you starve your body). But most of the time, women feel the fat accumulation on the belly, abdomen, thigh and chin area doesn’t budge to melt even with constant workouts! So that is where Coolsculpt helps you with no side effects! It targets the place where there’s extra fat and that is how many people want their treatment to be!

VLCC Style Statements Event At Chandigarh

Those of you who are following me on my social media channels might know that I attended the #VLCCStyleStatements Event at their Wellness Center in Sector 35 Chandigarh this weekend. We had a fun and interactive session with the VLCC Experts. It was all about hair, skin, and beauty. We got to know about various simple ways which can help us repair our skin and prevent the signs of ageing.

The ambiance of the center was very welcoming and neat. Everything was well organized. We were welcomed with some very delicious refreshments and drinks. Sushmita, Category Manager- Beauty of VLCC was very humble and more than happy to answer our queries. Before attending the event, I thought VLCC was all about weight loss but I was wrong. They offer so much more than just Weight Loss programs. They take care of every issue related to skin, hair, and body. They also offer services like nail extensions, eyelash extensions, and body contouring.

Their International Skin Expert, Ms. Daphne, answered all of our skin and hair related issues. Most of you wanted to know about the treatment for damaged hair, dark circle, and pigmented skin. Ms. Daphne said, A good lifestyle, regular hair spa, and better hydration is the key to beautiful hair and skin. She also mentioned to not forget sunscreen and always follow the CTM ( Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing) routine. For dark circles, Ms. Daphne suggested storing your eye cream in the fridge for better results.

If you follow the Kardashians religiously then you must be aware of the Vampire facial. VLCC is the only center in India which gives this facial, they call it PRP therapy. In this treatment, they use the plasma taken from your own blood for the facial therapy. It helps repair your skin, prevents premature signs of ageing, encourages cellular growth, stimulates healing and imparts a youthful appearance to skin.

I had a great time at the event and was surprised to know about the vast range of services VLCC offers. If you have any skin, hair or weight related issues, I recommend you to visit your nearest VLCC Wellness Center as they provide targeted and personalized solutions for every problem.

VLCC – More than Just a Slimming Center

Hope you had a great start to your week! I have been busy juggling work and the blog to create more content here for you guys. I have taken up some exciting projects so stay tuned. Also, it’s birthday week and all I can do is think about Mr. Jeromy who isn’t here with me in India.

On another note, I recently went for a meet-up at VLCC’s wellness and beauty center in HSR Layout, Bangalore. When VLCC called the event #VLCCStyleStatements, I was curious to know why the hashtag and the whole idea behind it. Once we were done with the discussion, I realized why. It is a beauty and wellness center that also offers various beauty services apart from slimming services.  The services range from salon services, laser & dermatology services as well.

Weight Loss

Before I start talking about the various services they offer, below is a small introduction on VLCC from their website:

“VLCC is widely recognized for its weight loss solutions and therapeutic approach to beauty treatments. They have among the largest scale and breadth of operations within the beauty and wellness services industry in India, serving consumers across 236 locations in 122 cities and across 11 countries in South Asia, South East Asia, the GCC Region and East Africa. We operate 197 Wellness Centres in India and 49 in 10 other countries and run VLCC Institutes of Beauty & Nutrition that have grown to become India’s largest chain of vocational education academies in the beauty and nutrition training segment with 69 campuses, training nearly 10,000 students annually and offering courses in multiple disciplines.”

 Prior to this, I am sure all of us had the notion that VLCC = a slimming center. I remember as a teenager, I used to see huge boards around the city with slimming consultations that VLCC used to advertise about. And I used to always think that’s the only thing VLCC offers.

But I was pleasantly surprised to find out the various services they offer apart from slimming. It was so wonderful meeting Sushmita, Category Manager – Beauty for VLCC, who blew me away with the knowledge she has about almost anything you ask regarding VLCC and the services they offer. A marketer who knows everything about the company she represents was indeed wonderful!

The session we had with Sushmita was very informative in terms of the different services VLCC has to offer. After this session, my notion of VLCC called only as a slimming center definitely changed. They have so many beauty and wellness services that I had no idea were introduced in India. Some of them are:

Vampire Facelift: If you know what the Kardashians are up to thanks to social media, you should also know they indulge in Vampire Facelifts very often. I have seen a lot of bloggers outside India who are also opening up to this idea now.  Vampire Facelift is basically for dull and sallow skin.  Maintaining glowing skin is hard work but the much-acclaimed Vampire Facelift uses A-PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) which is a form of blood plasma taken from your own self that has been enriched with platelets and growth factors and applied to your face with derma roller. This encourages cellular growth, stimulates healing and imparts a youthful appearance to skin.

 

A few other services that we spoke about were Derma Heal Eye Treatment. This is an eye filler treatment, exclusively formulated with innovative bio actives. It dramatically reduces the visible signs of ageing around eye area by instant wrinkle filling effect. The treatment has 24 hour-lasting hydration that would eventually improve skin texture and boosts radiance.

VLCC Wellness: 5 Things I Learned from My Recent Visit to VLCC

All About VLCC Wellness

With a set of pristine white spa and massage rooms filled with the floral scent and a promise of indulgence, mani-pedi and makeup stations, VLCC is sure worth a trip. And that’s not all, with its skin and hair care experts, bridal packages and a range of wellness products, VLCC offers, as they like to call it, a 360-degree full-rounded wellness.

 

#VLCCStyleStatements

The blogger’s meet and pampering session I went there for on Thursday started with a tour around their spa, followed by high tea and a question and answer session with their beauty experts while some of us got foot massages.

 

“Do hair spas really work?” asked one of us bloggers, followed with similar questions about hair fall and damage. “Why do you get hair spas?” Sushmita, VLCC’s Category Manager for Beauty, asked that blogger and explained her about the Hair Spa.

Hair & Beauty – Lessons Learned

Here are the 5 things I learned from this session:

  1. It’s important to know your end goal before you go for a hair spa, so you can access the result. What is it you’re after – shine, damage control or dryness control? Tell the hair experts and ask for a hair spa accordingly.

 

  1. For complicated concerns like premature greying, damage, and skin discoloration, it’s important to know the reason they’re happening in the first place, so treatment can be suggested accordingly. Have an hour-long session with the experts who can analyses your personal situation vis-à-vis lifestyle, diet, hereditary factors and health, instead of going for a one-remedy-suits-all approach.

 

  1. Dandruff and dry skin have a similar solution – keeping it clean is as important as keeping it moisturized.

 

  1. Hair falling out? Ask yourself what’s changed about your lifestyle before you even start worrying – change of shampoo, stress, diet, pregnancy, so many factors can contribute to this, so it’s important to evaluate this before you approach a hair care expert.

 

  1. Just seek out medical help for acne instead of blaming your skin.

 

I was parted with a goodie bag whose contents I am yet to try – a diamond facial kit, a massage oil (whose recommendation my friend gave me) and an herbal tea. So, I’ll be writing about those when I try, especially interested in the facial kit, cuz I’m totes a home facial person!

And for all you beauties, don’t forget to comment below with your skin, hair and beauty questions for VLCC to answer. My aforementioned friend tried VLCC’s consultation services for cellulite removal and she certainly had all good things to say about it.
