Great Alternatives to Plastic Surgery

The landscape of non-surgical, anti-aging treatments is constantly changing. With the range of current medical procedures available in Singapore, fewer people are turning to cosmetic surgery to achieve younger-looking skin.

The advancement of non-surgical treatments have benefitted people beyond 60 years old. They are also turning to non-surgical skin lifting treatments to restore a firmer, tighter skin. 

“With better techniques and improved medical technologies, most people can see remarkable improvements with minor augmentation using dermal fillers, muscle relaxants, and lasers,” says Dr. Siew Tuck Wah, Medical Director and Founder of Radium Medical Aesthetics.

Why Is Non-Surgical Anti-Aging Treatments the Preferred Choice?


As non-surgical anti-aging treatments continue to grow in popularity, the most common question people have is the benefits of non-surgical treatment over traditional cosmetic surgery. 

Here are some obvious benefits of non-surgical treatments: 

  • Convenient and short treatment time
  • Significantly shorter downtime 
  • Results often look more natural
  • Treatment process is safer with better patient safety profile
  • No surgical risk and no permanent surgical scars 

Common Non-Surgical Facelift Treatments in Singapore


“Non-surgical aesthetic treatments aim to achieve at least one or more of the following outcomes: tightening saggy skin, replenishing lost volume, and resurfacing superficial skin,” says Dr. Siew. 

“In recent years, doctors are using a combination of non-surgical procedures to improve and prolong the aesthetic outcome of the treatment.” he added.

Some common non-surgical facelift treatments performed by doctors in Singapore include:


WHAT DYSPORT FACELIFT TREATMENT
HOW Just like Botox, Dysport is brand of botulinum toxin that is commonly used by doctors as a muscle relaxant when injected into the muscles. In this case, a unique technique is used to inject tiny amounts of Dysport into the superficial layer of the skin to immediately contract the pores and relax certain facial muscles so that other muscles can pull the skin upwards to give it a natural-looking lift.
PRICE Ranges between $600 and $1,500
HOW LONG IT LAST Between 3 months and 12 months



WHAT LIQUID FACELIFT WITH DERMAL FILLER
HOW Loss of volume on the face is best addressed by adding dermal fillers. Using a blunt needle, the doctor is able to restore the volume by adding specific amounts of dermal fillers to make you look like you had a facelift! 
PRICE Ranges between $800 and $2,500
HOW LONG IT LAST Between 8 months and 18 months


WHAT THREAD LIFT TREATMENT
HOW Using special dissolvable threads lined with anchors, the doctor places them under the skin to tighten and lift moderately heavy skin to restore a younger-looking, V-shaped face. When the threads dissolve after 6 months, the collagen stimulated by the threads continue to exert its effects to retain the lift.
PRICE Ranges between $1,500 and $4,000
HOW LONG IT LAST Between 12 months and 24 months



WHAT ULTHERAPY
HOW Being the only FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment for skin lifting and tightening, Ultherapy has completely changed the way we treat saggy skin. Using high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), it heats up the deeper layer of the skin to stimulate collagen production. Gradual tightening of the skin will be observed over the next few months.
PRICE Ranges between $2,500 and $5,000 for full face treatment
HOW LONG IT LAST Between 12 months and 24 months

Why Some People Never Seem to Age

“Aging is not an option, not for anyone. It is how gracefully we handle the process and how lucky we are, as the process handles us,” said Cindy Mcdonald. Some lucky people don't seem to age a day, whereas most of us either look our age or look older than we actually are. The ravages of time definitely did not do any damage to superstars like Halle Berry. Googling a photo of Halle Berry shows you that time doesn't seem to have any effect on her. So do Jennifer Aniston, Liv Tyler, and Elijah Wood, who seem to go against the expectations of how people should grow old. Although it is true that some people are luckier as compared to the rest of us with respect to aging, most people who don’t look their age have gone the extra mile to delay signs of aging. With advances in anti-aging medicine, doctors are able to slow down the aging process with remarkable results, and minimal downtime.  What Happens When We Age? In addition to intrinsic aging, many factors are at p

How To Get Rid of Eye Bags Without Surgery

People often say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Our eyes don’t lie. They show the truth, no matter what situation we are in. The eyes are often one of the first facial features we look at when we meet people for the first time. It can be particularly embarrassing for people who don't look after their eyes, especially if dark eye circles and eye bags become visible to others.  The skin around the eyes are extremely thin. With very little collagen and elastin fibers around the eyes, aging often occurs around the eyes first. First signs of aging typically occurs in the mid 20’s. This happens when the skin around the eyes becomes so loose that it hangs and creates folds around the eyes. Sun exposure remains one of the leading causes of aging around the eyes. Exposure to the ultraviolet rays (UVA and UVB) can cause serious damage to the skin. UVB rays are known to break down the healthy DNA in your body. On the other hand, UVA rays penetrate deeply
