This month's #tsdayout is rather or should I say surprisingly interesting. Why? Because we're going to the hospital! Ok ok some of you might say what's the big deal of going to the hospital, and with the tagline "DEMC Makeover" it's not surprising why there are only three male participants. Well you know how they say 'Don't judge a book by it's cover". For this case, I agree. Don't you dare judge a book by it's cover! ;p

It was the usual registration at 8.30am, got ourselves a few brochures and souvenirs from DEMC and changed to our tsdayout uniform. This time is in bright green similar to the DEMC uniform in support of health and wellness! Yay!

| DEMC welcomes tsdayout! |
For someone who loves makeovers, I was extremely excited to know what DEMC Makeover is all about. "Am I gonna get a free nose job? Maybe it's a facelift! No wait, botox!"
keeps running through my mind as Ms Nazlin explains a section in DEMC which is the Dew Wellness Executive Program that involves services like plastic surgery, laser treatments, body analysis, dental aesthetics and many more.
"So for this time around, tsdayout is going to focus on a section in this hospital which is called Dew Wellness Executive Program", says Ms Nazlin
The Dew Wellness Executive Program basically covers a wide area of health screening; aesthetics, physical examination, medical screening, body composition analysis, dental aesthetics, plastic surgery, etc. Dew Wellness concentrates on the well-being of their patients, therefore DEMC is giving a chance to all bloggers & participants of tsdayout to explore their laser skin rejuvenation, body composition analysis and medical screening for free! Yes, you heard it right, FREE!
Before we go into details, we were ushered for some refreshments at the Sutera Lounge in DEMC. It's a lounge (similar to MAS Lounge, not that I've been to MAS Lounge, maybe more or less the same from what I heard, or were they just joking the other day... Ok nevermind. Anyway...) the lounge is very exquisite. From the food, to the arrangements of seats, to the facilities and services, all I can say is it blew me away.

Basically the Sutera Lounge serves a purpose for the patients to have something to eat and a place to chill while waiting for their appointment. There's a MAC pc in the lounge, which you are most welcome to use, food (buffet style), drinks, and comfortable sofas for you to make yourself at home. Yes, make yourself at home because DEMC's concept of a boutique hospital is to accompany and give you comfort just like you are at your own house. And you know how in other hospitals you have to wait at a certain area to collect your medicines and clear your payment, etc... At DEMC you don't have to coz your bills and medicines will be sent to you personally at this particular lounge. RM 50 to enjoy these amazing services at the Sutera Lounge. Very nice DEMC.

TSDAYOUT BEGINS
Laser Skin Rejuvenation
Since the laser procedure is a bit time consuming, DEMC only selected 6 participants, but the rest still gets a free voucher to come back and complete the procedure. I was pretty lucky that I got selected to get it done immediately so I am here to tell you everything you need to know.
The laser skin rejuvenation helps on repairing our skin from dead cells, pigmentation, signs of ageing, etc. It's non-invasive so don't worry about your skin thinning after this procedure. Dr Shirley explains that this treatment actually removes unwanted damaged cells of our skin. But the effect is not immediate. The laser helps to extract the damaged cells that has been buried under our skin. Slowly it will remove the dead cells and helps you look brighter, younger and more radiant!
Laser on your skin sounds scary huh? Trust me it's not. AT ALL. Dr Shirley will set the machine according to your skin tone. This is important coz you definitely do not want to go from Beyonce to Nicole Kidman's skin tone! Dr Shirley is very experienced in dealing with this, and she really is particular about not going overboard of making your skin fairer. Only one tone up should do the trick.
When I had my treatment done, it only feels slightly warm when Dr Shirley points the laser tip onto my skin. Imagine having your face washed by lukewarm water with a tingling sound during the process. That's how it feels like (at least for me, hehe) And it's really quick. 20 mins and voila! It's done! Dr Shirley also emphasizes on keeping away from the sun (the UV rays are harmful to our skin) so use sunblock all the time. There is also microdermabrasion where you can remove trapped white heads/ black heads that is very difficult to remove. You can also remove your mole with this procedure. Anyway Dr. Shirley will recommend what is the most suitable procedure for you so don't worry.

Body Composition Analysis
Next is the body composition analysis. This procedure basically helps to calculate your BMI (Body Mass Index) and the composition of your body that makes up your total weight. I absolutely love this procedure because I've been working out recently controlling my food intake and was eager to know what the results would be like. Alhamdulillah, the hard work really did pay off.
The Dietician explains on how important it is to ensure that you control your calorie intake. Which muscle in your body that is weak and which part of your body that is not proportionate. Also it weighs the bones in your body. All these are automatically calculated at the high tech super genius weighing machine. :p
Food intake is very important so always keep in mind to "breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper". A female will need approx 1800- 2000 calories per day, so when you have exceeded your calorie intake you should exercise to get rid of the excess or else..... It turns into fat. Yup.

Medical Screening
The medical screening was the last of the list. It includes measuring your blood pressure, eye sight, glucose, height & body weight. Since all of us filled our stomach with food during refreshments earlier, our glucose were slightly higher. So if you are planning to take a glucose test, make sure you are on fasting mode.
Hospital Tour
After all procedures have been completed, we were given a short tour around the hospital. The hospital is rather small from the looks of outside its building. But I am definitely surprised to see the facilities and services they provide inside the hospital. From Mammograms to MRIs to Physiotherapy and Dialysis, you name it.
Another interesting section of the hospital is their patients' room concept.
