Patient: I am looking at facial rejuvenation, anti aging, and getting rid of the hollows and dents in my face. I have heard of many different fillers and their so called benefits.

But, which is the best filler for me? 

Let's explore the benefits of Advanced Fillers VS Classic Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (HA Fillers). 

All fillers are able to restore volume and vary in their hardness depending on the range used. It is most important to select a filler appropriate for the region and depth that it is placed, to give the optimum results and minimum side effects. 

A defined jawline forms the foundation for the lower face. Our body allows for fats to accumulate at the areas of the jowl,  and also at areas of the submentum, giving us a double chin and distorting the jawline. 

Coupled with weakening of our skin and lost of elasticity, the fats that accumulate start to protrude outwards and create unsightly bumps on our lower face, giving us an aged and grumpy appearance. 

Our neck undergoes aging the same way that our face undergoes aging. Changes in skin quality which consists of laxity, pigmentation and wrinkling contribute to an aged neck. UV rays from the sun only serve to compound the photodamage to our skin, leading to a neck that makes us look older. 

In Asians, we also tend to experience an increased deposition of fats just below the chin and jaw line, which rapidly obscures the ideal neck that we have, whereby there is no longer any demarcation between our jawline and neck. 

Droopy eyelids and sagging of eyebags are inevitable through the passage of time. It is a characteristic marker of age and we are able to gauge the age of a person, usually just by looking at the eyes. 

When we were younger, our eyes have lifted eyelids and firm under eye regions which give a smooth transition towards the mid face and more importantly, allow our eyes to sparkle with youth. 

Aging causes our collagen composition to be lesser, with looser and thinner skin and decreased amounts of facial fats. All these contribute and result in a droopy and saggy eyebags.

The Aegyo Sal Lift aims to tighten sagging eye bags and droopy eyelids. The treatment results in destruction of loose aged skin and also stimulates collagen using heat from deep within, generating volumisation and rejuvenation for the eye.

This procedure requires numbing cream and can cause mild downtime in the form of swelling and redness of a few days. In comparison with a surgical blepharoplasty, the downtime becomes minimal and does not create any surgical scar.

For increased lifting, a repeat session can be utilised to achieve fine tuning of results!

Photoaging causes premature aging of the skin and results in an overall dull appearance of the skin. 

The dull appearance can be contribute by all or some of the following:

• Fine Wrinkles
• Broken Fine Blood Capillaries
• Areas of Redness & Inflammation
• Sagging of Skin 
• Loose and Paper Thin Skin
• Pigmentation Spots

A laser with no downtime, targeted to improve areas of inflammation and to reverse sun damage on the skin. 

The whole treatment procedure is comfortable, and you will feel a light warmth that brushes against the skin of your face during the treatment.

What do you achieve?

The end result is IMMEDIATE BRIGHTENING of the skin. In addition to that, you would also get a mild lifting effect to the skin! 

The best part of this treatment is that it does not have any downtime and yes, you can still go for your dinner functions and events immediately after! 

A lot of patients ask me whether is there something that they can do to give a lift to their face. With age, it is inevitable that the deep fat pad components of the face tend to go down faster, resulting in a loss of support for the superficial fat pads, causing a resultant drooping of the face and deep creases to form. 
​
Other than Ulthera, HIFU or Thermage, is there something else that can also generate a significant lift to the face?

And with all treatments that give GOOD results. We are always looking at the same question of downtime!

Yes there will be downtime of redness, swelling and also scabs. But all these can fade away as early as 60 hours depending on customisable protocol we use. 

If you can take more downtime = let me know and we can tweak the settings to achieve a greater lifting effect! 

This photo was after 60 hours and patient kept to a series of important key things to achieve a good result. 

(1) Intensive Moisturisation First 48 Hours - An Hourly Moisturisation Protocol with Thick layers of moisturiser left on the skin when sleeping

​As we age , it is inevitable that we notice the upper eyelids that we have tend to droop and even the corners of our eyes tend to turn downwards. If we compared our eyes with 10 years ago, it is likely that we would want to restore the same kind of glint and sharpness that we have then.

This procedure is short and sweet, and can be accomplished within 20 minutes. 

With the right placement, we notice that even though that we have restored the following for this patient

• Double eyelids revealed clearly
• Lifting of corner of eyes 
• Restoration of eye to frame ratio where the eyes look bigger

An added effect to The Mulan Lift is how it also reshapes and make the mid face lifted with lessening of the nasolabial folds and improvement of the facial shape, achieving a V shaped look!

The lips are always the first topic that we talk about, literally. Aging affects our lips just like how it affects our face and skin texture. You will notice how the lustre of the lips tend to fade out with age and how the upper lip tends to be plagued with wrinkles and also a resultant inward turn which causes lesser of the upper lips to show. 

Eventually, the thinning lips give off a sunken, aged appearance, and also becomes a marker which people use to gauge our age.

Revitalising the lips encompasses many different aspects. 

I like to get a golden ratio for the upper to lower lip. At the same time we can create a keyhole pout (loved by Caucasians) or the tiny pearl of the lips (loved by Asians). 

Ultimately, symmetry and ratio is beauty and that will be the ideal lips. When we touch on the lips, I also like to tweak the mouth corners to allow  the lips to give off a gentle smile. The philtrum can also be augmented, same as for the Cupid's bow to give better definition to the upper lip.

​




A natural rekindled lip is what we always aim for, with the ratios tweaked so that it helps to define the lower face! 

Whenever we look at a person, it is inevitable that we will always see their face. From the face, we decipher wrinkles, pigmentation spots, loss of volume areas and that gives us an appropriate gauge of how old the person might be. 

Apart from the face, the next most common thing we will observe and feel is the hand of the person when we reach forward to shake their hands in establishing an acquaintance.

Fillers have been developed to allow for volume restoration

Lasers have been developed to target pigmentation. 

BTX has been developed to target wrinkles.

Ellanse or Radiesse contains either polycaprolactone or calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres that trigger collagen stimulation and can allow for an immediate and long lasting revitalisation to our hands. 

A quick look at treatment where it allows improvement of sunken areas of the hand, allowing bony tendons to not stick out and it allows bulging veins to be less prominent. 

The treatment itself is relatively painless and allows for reversal of the process of aging of the hands! 

As we age, inevitably we are plagued with wrinkles that descend upon our skin. The areas involved can be around the eye, near the cheeks , down to areas around the mouth. In more severe cases, these wrinkles become deep folds that are always present even though we are not actively making any expressions!

Is there any way to erase those age lines away from our skin?

Built to resurface the skin, to erase the years of age away! 
Not only does it target pigmented spots, wrinkles, laxity, it also generates an overall lift to the whole face!

​This is not a traditional toning laser. It is true resurfacing work that allows us to accomplish long lasting results!

Any downtime to expect?

Yes, you would get downtime which involves mild swelling, scabbing and also redness! 

We are looking at improvement of all of the following 

• Fine Wrinkles
• Laxity of Skin
• Pigmentation Spots
• Drooping of Facial Fats
• Skin Thickness and Strength

Giving you an overall lift to the face to erase years of age away!
