Skin Boosters

What are Skin Boosters?

Fill 1102Created with Sketch.

Skin boosters are an injectable treatment that is designed to deliver deep skin hydration. Most of the time, they promote a natural glow and radiance. 

This relatively new treatment concept has become a lot more popular over the past few years. It particularly appeals to patients who want to look fresh and natural with their anti-ageing treatments.

Skin booster results don’t have the dramatic impact that can be associated with the better known non-surgical treatments. They don’t “freeze” the features or stop muscle movement (like BOTOX® can), although they can help to smooth out lines and wrinkles. They won’t deliver exaggerated or over-inflated results like dermal fillers can, although they can add more subtle volume by gently plumping the skin.

Thread Lift

1

Types of Thread Lift

There are a few types of thread lifts, the main difference is longevity, stiffness and tensile strength:

  • PDO (Polydioxanone) dissolves after 6 – 9 months
  • PLLA (Poly L Lactic Acid) dissolves after 12 – 18 months
  • PCL (Polycaprolactone) dissolves after 24 – 36 months

Considerations

Although thread lifts are advantageous, patients must maintain a realistic expectation for this procedure. While thread lifts can certainly produce visible changes, they will only be able to lift the face by a few millimeters, as such they create a more subtle and natural look than facelift surgery. Thread lifts are more suitable for mild to moderate cases of skin laxity. Once thread lifts are no longer feasible, patients may have to consider facelift surgery.

The patient needs to understand that no lifting technique is permanent, that being said a facelift surgery will produce longer-lasting results than a thread lift. Facelift surgery can last up to a decade whereas a thread lift generally lasts between one to three years.

Maintenance

To get the most out of the treatment, patients can combine thread lift with Exilis, Thermage or Ultherapy. These lasers use heat to stimulate collagen production. By combining these procedures with thread lift you can maximize the overall effect of skin firming and create even more lifting to the neck as well as the face.

While thread lifts can tighten skin, they aren’t designed to address the blemishes of the skin’s surface. As such signs of aging such as age spots, areas of uneven pigmentation and fine lines will require a different technique known as skin resurfacing. During skin resurfacing the top layer of the dermis is removed, stripping away the blemishes. A new more youthful-looking layer of the skin then grows in its place. You can do this through other lasers or fillers. It would be best to consult with the doctor on what works best for your condition.

Skin Boosters

Profhilo is an injectable skin remodelling treatment that is used for its subtle but immediate hydrating and skin tightening results. The product has won multiple aesthetics awards and is loved by beauty editors and celebrity facialists the world over due to its almost-instant and long-lasting results.

Profhilo® is a revolutionary ‘beneath the skin’ hyaluronic acid moisturising treatment, made with the patented NAHYCO® technology. This results in a unique hyaluronic acid injectable gel, which has a prolonged stimulating activity on the dermal cells. When injected into skin, Profhilo® stimulates the skin cell receptors to counteract skin laxity and improve and restore firmness of the skin.

One of the highest concentrations of hyaluronic acid on the market, Profhilo® not only boosts and hydrates the skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue. The most common areas of treatment include the face and neck and can also be used for the décolletage, hands, arms, knees and abdomen area where it would effectively treat skin laxity. The treatment is suitable for men and women as well as offering skin benefits for patients of all ages.

Juvéderm® VOLITE is a minimally invasive injectable treatment that delivers hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the skin, directly into the dermis layer. HA attracts water to hydrate skin, improves elasticity and reduce fine lines.

Plinest® is a skin regeneration and rejuvenation treatment that uses pure and high-quality polynucleotide (PN) gel to repair your skin and keep it healthy and glowing.

Plinest pioneered the use of polynucleotide (PN) gel, which was then used in Rejuran and other PN or PDRN gel treatments that have recently saturated the market.

Because of its biochemical, hydrating, and viscoelastic properties, Plinest enhances skin elasticity. Plinest can also improve fibrous tissue regions like scars and stretch marks, making it the innovative game-changer in scar and stretch mark treatment.

Plinest, known in the aesthetic market as the Ferrari of regeneration gels, is made from DNA fragments collected from Italian Trout Fish using Mastelli’s HPT technology, devised and developed in Italy.

A natural physiological procedure stimulates dermal bio-revitalization and collagen repair, enhancing skin quality from within. Plinest treatment can reportedly give you better skin brightness, improved skin texture, and enhanced skin elasticity, giving you a healthier and more radiant appearance.

It is ideal for treating dry skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines on your face, and reversing the signs of skin aging.

      Alopecia is a condition of partial or complete hair loss in an individual. Alopecia may begin with hair loss on the scalp, either in patches or on the entire head. The onset of this disease is often random, sudden, and recurrent. It can affect any hair-bearing area of the body. Alopecia is an autoimmune disease with a prevalence ranging between 41% and 73% in Asia. Factors such as unhealthy eating habits, increasing consumption of alcohol and smoking lead to accelerated hair loss. However, stress remains one of the leading causes of hair loss among a vast pool of Asian populations.

      Effective treatment for hair loss begins with finding the cause. To get an accurate diagnosis, it helps to see a good aesthetician. These doctors have in-depth knowledge about the many causes of hair loss and experience treating the diverse causes.

              Fat &
              Cellulite

              Peau d’orange, also known as orange-peel skin, cellulite is a condition in which the skin has a dimpled, lumpy appearance. It occurs when underlying fat deposits begin to push through layers of connective tissues under the skin. Often found in the buttocks and thigh areas, cellulite can be found on arms, stomachs, and other areas as well.

              Conversely, most cellulite sufferers don’t enjoy wearing short skirts and shorts, some even avoid the beach due to constant feeling of self-conscious and embarrassment.

                  Varicose veins are large, raised red, purple or blue veins that bulge through the skin, usually found on the thigh and leg.

                  Spider veins are mini versions of varicose veins, with the appearance of a spider web, hence the name. They can be found on legs and even face.

                  Varicose and spider veins develop more often in women than in men. Aesthetic problem aside, varicose and spider veins might cause discomfort that disturb daily activities, such as itching, aching, swelling, throbbing, heaviness, fatigue and night cramps.

                      Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars

                      By Skin Conditions

                      Hypertrophic &
                      Keloid Scars

                      A scar is the result of the wound-healing process. The composition of scars varies, from flat to sunken or lumpy.

                      During the wound-healing process, fibroblasts – a type of cell found in connective tissue, will synthesize collagen, allowing the skin to recover from injury. Hypertrophic scar and keloid scar occur when the fibroblasts overproduce collagen.

                      The difference between hypertrophic and keloid scar is that, a hypertrophic scar is a raised mass of collagen and is restricted within the area of the original wound margin. It will slowly regress over time.

                      On the other hand, a keloid scar keeps growing, even after the wound has healed. Keloids are itchy, hairless and shiny, and can grow much larger than the original wound.

                      The Causes

                      Some people are genetically predisposed to developing hypertrophic or keloid scars.

                      Most skin injuries can contribute to hypertrophic or keloid scarring, such as acne, burns, chicken pox, piercings, vaccination and surgical incision.

                      Our solutions.

                      Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars

                      Steroid injections directly into the scar are often the first treatment used. Might require several sessions. Although injections can flatten the scars, it does not remove the pinkish or brownish mark left behind. Hence, the treatment is best combined with laser resurfacing treatment.

                      VBeam® is a Pulse Dye laser that delivers an intense but gentle burst of light into selectively targeted areas of the skin. The light is absorbed by specific blood vessles or melanin pigmented areas in the dermis depending on the condition being treated. Factors such as the age, colour and type of lesions, as well as the location on the body, all determine whether lesions can be removed.

                      This treatment is so safe that it has been successfully used since the 1980’s for the treatment of port wine stain birthmarks in infacts and young children.

                          Ranging from fine lines to thick waves, stretch marks are often caused by extreme weight fluctuation, rapid muscle building and pregnancy.

                          When the skin is stretched too quickly, some of its collagen fibers can break, causing underlying blood vessels to show through, leaving behind red or purplish marks resembling spider webs or tree branches.

                          Over time, they fade to pale white or silvery colour, but they do not usually go away fully.

                              Birthmarks can present at birth or appears shortly after birth. They can occur anywhere on the skin.

                              Birthmarks are generally caused by an overgrowth of certain structure in the skin. For example, an overgrowth of blood vessels produces vascular birthmarks (patch of red, pink, or purple skin); an overgrowth of pigment cells produces moles.

                              Treatment recommendations and the number of sessions required are made depending on the colour, darkness, size and intensity of your birthmark. In the case of a tattoo, we need to consider the depth of the ink, and how old it is as well.

                              This laser treatment is a non-surgical and non-invasive procedure that focus on specific problem areas on the body and not just the face. It delivers ultra-short pulses of energy and not heat, in order to target problem areas to create an intense impact that destroys skin pigment that are easily eliminated.

                              This technology is considered one of the most advanced laser treatments currently available on the aesthetic centres. The results it delivers are noticeable, and gives permanent results in fewer sessions than other comparable options. It is safe, requires minimal downtime, and can be used across the entire face and body.

                              Q-Switched laser technology creates high-intensity pulsed beam light. It has energy that is concentrated into ultra-powerful pulses which only last a billionth of a second each. This results in reduced energy’s contact with the skin compared to other lasers and will preserve the surrounding tissue and reduce risk of side effects.

                              The different wavelengths of light produced by Q-Switched lasers makes them a versatile treatment which can effectively address many different conditions. Nd:YAG® is the most popular type of Q-switched laser. This laser emits 1064nm and 532nm wavelengths and is prized for its vast range of application

                                  Eczema

                                  Rosacea is a common skin condition that causes frequent flushing and visible blood vessels. Rosacea sufferers may also experience red bumps that swell, itch and even peeling, which often cause the patients to mistakenly self-diagnose as having acne. Unlike acne, rosacea has no blackheads or whiteheads. Sun exposure, hot and spicy food, inappropriate products on your skin can easily aggravate rosacea.

                                  Often occurs in children, eczema is characterized by dry, itchy, and scaly patches.

                                  Treatment for rosacea and eczema will typically require a combination of appropriate skin care (always do a patch test before trying a new product), medications (to control the intense itch and inflammation) and lifestyle changes (avoid known triggers and hot showers).

                                  The Causes

                                  Rosacea – There are several theories including genetic inheritance and environmental factors.

                                  Eczema – Genetics, autoimmune disease, stress, activities that may cause skin to be more sensitive such as sweating, environmental factors such as dust mites.

                                  VBeam® is a Pulse Dye laser that delivers an intense but gentle burst of light into selectively targeted areas of the skin. The light is absorbed by specific blood vessles or melanin pigmented areas in the dermis depending on the condition being treated. Factors such as the age, colour and type of lesions, as well as the location on the body, all determine whether lesions can be removed.

                                  This treatment is so safe that it has been successfully used since the 1980’s for the treatment of port wine stain birthmarks in infacts and young children.

                                      Spoons in the freezer? Cucumber slices? Who has that kind of patience when you’re rushing around the house, trying to get out the door on time?

                                      The Causes

                                      Extreme fatigue and sleep deprivation.

                                      Diet – Eating too much salt will cause dehydration, making the skin around your eyes to look dull and sunken.

                                      Genetic inheritance.

                                      Aging – Losing fat and collagen will cause the skin around the eye area to become thinner, as such, blood vessels underneath the eyes will be more visible.

                                      Sinus – If you suffer from sinus, congestion can cause dark circles and eye bags despite sleeping 6-8 hours each night.

                                      Allergies – Allergic reactions and dry eyes can trigger dark circles.
