After fighting with my pimple for 3 years, I am finally come to visit skin specialist for the very first in my life time.
To be honest, I had tried almost 80% of the product found at pharmacy. My conclusion is not product issue but something wrong inside my body, so I started to eat clean, exercise more, cut sugar and sea shell food. Still, it doesn’t have any change. Then, I adding for myself to take vitamins like fish oil, evening primrose oil, vitamin C, milk thistle, and so on which could be possible detox liver, detox lung, balance hormones or whatever but nothing happen after months. In these 3 years of changing products, changing lifestyle the only thing change on my face is getting more and more serious day by day. I even go and “ask god” on last month, drinking the “burnt” water. Oh god, I think I am way too desperate? No, I am not, but my mom is trying her best to let her daughter have a pretty face, I am always telling mom pimples is the signature of “young people”. HAHAHAH!! What a joke, just to make myself and my mom feel good at it..
Part 1 Visiting Dr Ting Skin Specialist
So, not long ago, I receive a Ting Skin & Laser Clinic name card from an uncle saying this particular doctor is very pro in treating acne. His daughter only visit once and got recover very quick, he told me that I must make appointment first if not will need to wait for very long. I tried to call up during 3rd of December but Dr Ting is on leave until 6th. Anyway, I just try my luck by walk in on 8th December, I reached here by 10 am on Thursday morning. I got no. 17, the receptionist told me to wait for 1-2 hours but ended up I am waiting for more than 3 hours to reach my turn. The receptionist doesn’t as bad as how those customers review, in fact they are really busy, you just have to be patient or go for shopping at Times Square or Lot 10 nearby.
Dr Ting is an old man that looks like 60++ with a bold tie. The conversation start like this:
Ting: What is your problem?
Me: Hehe, pimples lo.. *pointing my face*
By looking at my face, Dr Ting told me that my case is very serious and ask whether how long is my pimples grow like this. I answered 3 years, but it is not exactly 3 years is what I forgot to mention because it did recovered before somewhere around end of 2014.
Then, Dr Ting explained to me about my pimples will need to take at least 6 months to recover. He provide me the medicines and inform me the medicine will have side effect, which is causing my lips very dry, also advice must drink more water, and if possible get a lip balm.
For fully recover, he can't promise or guarantee anything because my face have tooooo many pimples. Although my pimples will stop growing some days after taking the medicine in long term, but it will still have scar like ------ surface of moon. 😡 All I can do is be patient, once my pimples stop growing, I can consider to have laser in future, Dr Ding said to me,
Out of sudden, Dr. Ting ask me for my weight! I am 50 KG, *not sure how he calculate, but come out a number of 19.XX on calculator* For my face to fully recover, it will take a roughly 20 months and I have to take the medicine consistently during this period of time. ( this part is like, WHATTT??? why calculate using the weight? is it the more heavier I am the more hard to get rid of it?)

( this part is like, WHATTT??? why calculate using the weight? is it the more heavier I am the more hard to get rid of it?)
For my concern, I want to know whether the medicine will have the side effect for future pregnancy or hair fall or kidney stone or whatever. I accidentally ask is the medicine having any side effect? Nevertheless, I got an exactly same answer like before: "The medicines have side effect, it will keep your lips very dry, do you have lip balm?" In addition, he remark not to get pregnant when you take this medicine, if you want to get pregnant, stop for 1 month, then you can pregnant, no problem!
Soon after, he let me know if I want to have better and faster result, can proceed with injection. Not thinking twice, I said OK! ( No doubt, I am very scared of any injection. Still, I choose to give a try.)

I hereby confess the injection is not easy, and it is really painful for me. It is not by injecting antibiotic on your hand but poking into all your bump of face. Every! Each! Bump! My tears keep on coming out from my eyes when I am trying hard to calm down, I hold my fist really hard until my nail put the stamp on my palm for hours. Then this is how I look like after injection------ a Santa Claus that fall from somewhere? It is white outside, but when removing the cotton, it is full of blood and I have to tear it slowly to make sure it will not bleed again.
One thing about injection, I found rashes on my both armpit during evening time when I reach home. Not sure about whether because the weather that day is quite hot and I am wearing long sleeve shirt. But this reminds me years ago, my rashes like eczema will appear when pimples go and it will go when pimples come. However, during these long period of time like 18 months, my pimples never go, so my eczema also never comes for quite some times.
The overall consultation + injection + medicine + cleaner toner and gel cost RM 220. Without injection will be only RM 160 I guess, but I think the injection really did a miracle on my face as most of the big bump on my face shrink on the next day. My medicine only take once a day after dinner, it is not blue and green as most of the people receive, mine is pink! Cutie pink soft capsule with butter smell! My cleanser smell like Dettol green series body shampoo, the toner and pimple gel both smell choky like alcohol. But the difference is, when I apply alcohol on face, all my scar will get very painful but these toner and gel don’t. I dap the toner onto my face using my palm, it actually feels like applying moisturizer on face, it remains damp on my hands.
Below is the photo taken by day 1 and day 14. As results for 14 days, it doesn’t seem any much of big difference, maybe because my condition is way too serious? HAHA there is one thing my mom mentioned to me, there is a scar looks like "fire" in chinese word looks like not so obvious on day 14. Anyway, from visually I think not recover really much, from picture looks OK.
1. My period comes 4 days earlier, which is on 24th day. Doctor say this could be the effect of injection, but is normal, after few months face will be turning better.
2. Result to have skin problems like eczema under armpit, I believe this could be a reason of the injection as well, because I got it right after few hours of injection and I take this long two weeks still not yet fully recover.
3. Face become less oily, not sure is the result of medicine or pimples gel. But it looks good, without feeling dry and tight on face; just do not have the shining face thru out the day.
4. I did not feel lips dried or cracked during this 14 days, and I still have pimples popping out before my periods come. Not 1 pimples but more than 5, and they are all BIG!

| Day 1 VS Day 14, can you see the difference? Honestly, I can't:( |
I just hope my face can go back to my smooth like taufufa face like 3 years ago. Sorry for the long post, here’s a Taufufa (Soy Bean Custard).
Second Visit to Dr Ting Skin Specialist
On 22nd December, I paid a second visit for Dr Ding. As usual, long wait.
When is finally my turn, I just have a really short conversation with Dr. Ding, he check my face by touching those bump on face. "The result is good but still have some big one", he said. He continue with asking me whether I want to take the injection for faster recovery, but this time I had rejected it as it is too painful for me and I am scared if the skin problem comes back again.
He asked me to come back after 4 weeks which is 18th January 2017. I got one month supply for medicine, cleanser, toner and bigger tube of pimples gel as the last one I finished it within 10 days which suppose can use for 14 days. Total charges for second visit is RM 245.
Step 1 - Cleanser
 |
| from 50 ml for 2 weeks increase to 120 ml for 4 weeks |
Step 2 - Toner
 |
| from half filled for 2 weeks increase to full bottle for 4 weeks |
Step 3 - Pimples Gel
 |
| I think this is 10 ml increase to 50 ml? |
So far I had spent RM 460 here, not so sure it is too expensive or not. But one of my friend visit another famous skin specialist cost RM 300 for only one month supply medicine (30 pills). Cleanser and pimples gel cost for another few hundreds. I think that specialist is truly expensive compared to Dr Ting. However, I visit another doctor from Klinik Keluarga & Surgeri Damai at Klang Utama (Klang Utama is located at Klang, Selangor) last time during 2014 which is not famous but quite good also cost only RM 60 for 80 ml of cleanser and 2 tube of pimples gel ( day and night ), without taking any pills, the cleanser and gel can last about a month but I got really good result on the 3rd month after using his products. I am now regret for follow up with this doctor because I stop using his cleanser on 4th month ( Not listen to the doctor's advice). Then, my pimples come back slowly after half year and become seriously bad by now.
Below is the picture between June 2014 break out, visit the doctor somewhere around August 2014 and recovered during December 2014. If you want to have an affordable price, you can try out at Klinik Keluarga & Surgeri Damai at Klang Utama, but must remember not trying to be smart to stop any medicine by yourself without checking with your doctor.
Again, stay tuned for another 30 days to see the result from Dr Ding Skin Specialist!
Sorry , there is no another 30 days, here's the result after 1 year plus
>>>>>How's My Face NOW??
