As we age, fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear on our faces. The smooth, youthful skin we once had starts to lose its elasticity and becomes less firm, revealing signs of aging.
Loss of Facial Fat Volume
In our youth, facial fat is evenly distributed, filling out areas like the temples, cheeks, forehead, and around the mouth and eyes. Over time, this fat loses volume, shifts downward, and collects in certain areas, causing our once-rounded features to sink and skin to sag.
Weight Gain in the Lower Face
While fat diminishes in some areas, the lower half of the face may begin to accumulate excess fat. This leads to the appearance of a jowly neck and a baggy chin, further contributing to an aging look.
Dry Skin and Loss of Adipose Layer
As skin ages, it becomes drier and loses its adipose (fat) layer, which provides plumpness and smoothness to the face. This loss causes fine lines and wrinkles to become more prominent, giving the face a less youthful appearance.
Fat Accumulation Around the Eyes
Fat begins to accumulate around the eyes, particularly in the upper eyelids. This can cause the eyes to droop and lead to under-eye bags and sagging lower eyelids. If the muscle supporting the upper eyelid weakens, it can cause the eyelids to droop further.
Non-Invasive Lifting Treatments
Non-invasive lifting treatments are an excellent option for rejuvenating the skin and restoring a more youthful, supple appearance. These medical cosmetic procedures can deliver outstanding results without surgery, offering a natural facelift and enhancing skin firmness once treatment is complete.
Pico Laser
Pico Laser treatment works by delivering ultra-short pulses of energy to the treatment area, which breaks down tattoo ink and is absorbed by healthy tissue. However, it was discovered by cosmetic surgeons that these energy pulses can help to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Pico Laser is effective at treating fine lines and wrinkles that lies in its ability to enhance collagen and elastin regrowth, helping to ‘plump up’ wrinkles and make them look less deep. It is a non-invasive laser with virtually no downtime, making it an appealing option for those seeking anti-aging treatments.
Other factors that contribute to wrinkles and fine lines include exposure to UV rays from the sun and reduced skin resilience as we age. However, Pico Laser can effectively treat all types of wrinkles, including periorbital wrinkles (around the eyes), perioral wrinkles (around the mouth), cow’s feet, frown lines, and necklace lines. Overall, the PicoSure laser presents an effective and non-surgical option for those seeking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Ultherapy
Ultherapy, a non-surgical skin tightening procedure that harnesses the power of ultrasound technology, is also called a non-invasive facelift, and it delivers outcomes on par with aesthetic surgery. It works by focusing ultrasound energy at specific locations and to a predetermined depth, resulting in noticeable heat-lifting and significant skin firming. Additionally, it is the only device that allows you to see subcutaneous tissue during surgery, enhancing accuracy.
BTX Treatments
BTX is a neurotoxin that is injected into the musculature to smooth angular jawlines and improve the look of mild-to-severe frown lines between your brows. With BTX treatments, you can go back to your daily activities after the treatment. This procedure has no downtime, so there’s no need to stay in a facility or hospital to recover. Some patients even undergo this treatment during their lunch break, and go back to work immediately after.
Thermage
Radiofrequency waves are used in Thermage, a high-end non-surgical skin tightening and rejuvenation procedure, to encourage your body’s natural collagen regeneration and strengthen and contour your skin. Thermage is a non-surgical eyelid treatment that has FDA approval for treating fine lines and wrinkles without surgery.
It uses a handheld device to deliver radiofrequency energy into your skin to promote collage and elastin production. This treatment also takes less than an hour, so you can go back to your daily activities after the procedure.
Profhilo
A bio-remodeling anti-aging treatment called Profhilo is now available in Singapore. As a result, it is a powerful treatment that lifts sagging and aged tissue in addition to rejuvenating and hydrating your skin.
The greatest concentration of pure hyaluronic acid available in the market is included in Profhilo at 64 mg/ml. Because Profhilo is made of durable cooperative hybrid complexes of low and high molecular weight HA, it differs from other fillers or skin boosters.
Low molecular weight gives your skin a “Hydro effect” by hydrating and volumizing it, while high molecular weight gives your skin a “Lifting effect” by enhancing dermal HA construction.
What Kind Of Profhilo Treatment Can I Expect?
Numbing cream is applied to the area being treated and left on for about 15 minutes to reduce discomfort. During therapy, an ice pack would be applied to the injection sites to further numb the area.
Profhilo is then injected into the ten crucial Bio Aesthetic Points on your face as part of the therapy’s novel process. By avoiding blood arteries and nerves, this method lessens bruising while improving results.
