If regular facial just doesn’t give you the skin lifting and brightening you need, try the Porcelain Aesthetics ProIonic V-Shape Facial ($406.60) which utilises radio waves to produce a pro-ionic effect in skin tissue. Starting off with a refreshing exfoliation to get rid of dead skin cells, an Indiba Capacitive Electrode is then applied to the skin to aid lymphatic drainage. Then, the Indiba Resistive Electrode is used to increase skin’s internal temperature to promote ion movement through the cell membranes for visible wrinkle reduction, skin brightening and contouring.

Sometimes, eating habits like chewing on hard food and jaw grinding can lead to overdeveloped jaw muscles. Masseter hypertrophy or more commonly known as square jaw, is often thought to be more masculine looking unlike the V-shaped face which most women desire. Xeomin (pronounced ‘zee-oh-min’) is a new generation Botulinum Neurotoxin injectable which can be instilled into the jaw muscles, reducing its size to give face a more feminine-looking V shape. Under the seasoned hands of a certified doctor, he or she will be able to determine how best Xeomin ($800) should be administered to achieve a youthful and feminine jawline.

Like the ultrasound technology which allow gynecologists to view an unborn foetus, Ultherapy ($4,500 per session) uses ultrasound imaging to view the structure of skin at different depths in order to map out the ultrasound energy and deposit it where it’s most beneficial for the skin. A wand is then applied on the face which heats skin tissue to a temperature of 60 to 70 degree Celsius – the temperature at which skin’s regenerative process is set off. Depending on the part of the face, ultrasound energy is administered at 1.5 mm, 3 mm and 4.5 mm to stimulate collagen production and trigger tissue contraction similar to the effect of a surgical facelift. Immediate results can be seen, but the full effect of collagen growth and smoother skin comes into play in about a month when collagen regrowth can be observed.

The Dream Sculpture treatment ($1,926 per session) from Sloane Clinic is the skillful application of Sculptra on selected areas of the face.

As it is not a dermal filler, the results are not immediate but improvements will be apparent in about four to six weeks when collagen starts to fill in the hollows of the face.

Sloane Clinic is located at 10 Sinaran Dr, Singapore 307506.

Targeting at the fine lines around the mouth area, the IDS Clinic Laser Lift ($1,250 per session) begins with a numbing cream which is applied before a non-ablative laser is fired from the inside of the mouth. Non-ablative lasers work by heating up targeted tissue without destroying it, stimulating the body to produce collagen, filling in the hollows of the cheeks and fines. A different laser is then applied on the cheeks which delivers targeted treatment to deeper wrinkles. The final step of the treatment involves a bulk tissue heating to improve the overall tightness and elasticity of skin.

IDS Clinic is located at 8 Sinaran Drive, #05-07 to 10, Novena Specialist Centre, Singapore 307470.
