What You Need To Know About Dermal Filler Liquid Facelift

One of the few certainties in life is that we will undergo aging and the quality of our skin reduces over time. With the technological advances in medical sciences, there are currently many options to rejuvenate aging skin without resorting to surgery. One of the most popular non-surgical treatments is 'liquid facelift'. 

Liquid facelift is sometimes called “non-surgical facelift” because all it takes is about 30 minutes at the doctor’s office to restore volume and soften wrinkles and fine lines without the need to go under the knife.

If you are considering a liquid facelift in Singapore, Dr. Siew Tuck Wah from Radium Medical Aesthetics shares with us everything you need to know about this procedure so that it keeps you looking your best.

How is liquid facelift administered?


Liquid facelift is a non-surgical technique that experienced doctors use to lift saggy skin and smoothen out deep wrinkles and fine lines. Doctors often use a combination of dermal fillers and botulinum toxin to administer the treatment. 

Botulinum toxin is an injectable treatment that works by inhibiting the nerve impulses that cause your facial muscles to contract, resulting in dynamic wrinkles. Three of the leading brands in Singapore are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. 

There are two categories of dermal fillers in Singapore: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers and collagen fillers such as Ellanse and Radiesse. They aim to give the skin a supple, plump texture. When injected into specific areas of the face, dermal fillers can replenish volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. 

Although both Botox and dermal fillers address aging differently, they complement each other very well to provide subtle lift, restore volume where your face needs it the most, and smoothening out the fine lines and wrinkles effectively. With precise injections, an experienced doctor should take no more than 30 minutes to complete the treatment.

Benefits of liquid facelift


Although a surgical facelift procedure is an effective solution to lift and reposition saggy skin, people are gravitating towards liquid facelift treatment because of its versatility, safety profile, and convenience in performing the treatment.

The benefits of a liquid facelift treatment are:

REDUCE WRINKLES Fine lines and wrinkles are often the first signs of aging we see on our skin. when we hit our mid-30s. A liquid facelift is capable of subtly lifting saggy skin and drastically reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Botox is excellent at softening dynamic wrinkles such as the lines between the eyebrows and wrinkles on the forehead. On the other hand, dermal fillers are great for filling deep wrinkles such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

RESTORING LOST VOLUME IN FACE Another aspect of aging that many people are concerned about is the loss of facial shape when the fat pad in the face droops due to gravity. During the liquid facelift treatment, an experienced injector can strategically place dermal fillers to restore lost volume and then use Botox to sculpt the face to provide a completely natural, yet sculpted v-shaped appearance. 

REDUCE DOUBLE CHIN Using an advanced neck lifting technique, doctors can place tiny amounts of Botox in the neck and lower face to give a more v-shaped and defined jawline. This is done by relaxing the muscles in the neck that pulls the skin downwards.

REDUCE EYE BAGS The fatty tissue under the eyes may sink and displace from the original position directly under the eyes. The accumulation of fatty tissue under the eyes makes a person look tired and unattractive. By placing tiny amounts of under eye filler, the doctor can fill the depression under the eyes to smoothen out the depression, reducing the appearance of eye bags.

“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?

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
