Are Mini-Procedures Replacing Cosmetic Surgeries?

In recent months, people are undergoing minor anti-aging treatments such as dermal fillers and botox instead of cosmetic surgeries. It is not difficult to understand why. More people, men and women alike, are trying to find convenient, risk-free ways to improve their appearances without having to deal with expensive and painful surgeries with long downtime. With our busy schedules at work and endless personal commitments, it becomes more challenging for people to take long downtime from medical treatments. 

Mini-Procedures that are very popular right now

Botox remains the most popular treatment aesthetic doctors in Singapore administer to their patients. Even after 20 years in the market, Botox is still the most effective treatment for wrinkles around the forehead, eyes and eyebrows. 

Dermal fillers come in different types and in many forms. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers are the most common types of dermal fillers in Singapore. HA is a naturally-occurring substance found in the skin. When you are young, large quantity of HA is present in the skin. As we age, HA reduces over time, causing our skin to form wrinkles and become thin. Injecting dermal fillers into the skin rejuvenates your skin and plump it up, restoring your youth without having to undergo any form of surgery.

Thread lift is an up and coming non-surgical treatment. Using special dissolvable threads lined with cones, these special threads are placed under the skin. This treatment aims to achieve two beneficial outcomes: Firstly, the cones or anchors found along the threads firmly secure the skin to lift saggy skin upwards, giving you a v-shaped face immediately. Secondly, the threads in the skin causes the skin to stimulate collagen production around the threads to sustain the lift for another 2 years even after the threads have dissolved. 

Collagen stimulators is another form of dermal fillers that are usually offered by more experienced doctors. Radiesse and Ellanse are two approved collagen fillers in Singapore. They do not only immediately plump up the skin, they stimulate the body to produce collagen to enhance and prolong the anti-aging effects.

Ultherapy is designed to use the power of ultrasounds in order to tighten the loose skin and lift as well as tone it the right way. It’s the only non-invasive procedure that the FDA agrees with. And the best part is that it will offer you results pretty fast, which is exactly what you want from something like this.

Although rarely used, Infini is also effective for subtly lifting the skin. It can also address scars, wrinkles, sagging skin and many other problems. It is an excellent treatment to provide overall rejuvenation treatment.

As you can see, mini cosmetic procedures are simple, they don’t have major side effects and you can easily work on any potential issues that may appear. That alone makes them incredibly impressive and popular.

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
