5 Minor Cosmetic Treatments That Will Help You To Achieve Your Beauty Goals

Want to look like a younger and fresher version of yourself, without anyone noticing you had “work” done? Check out our list of the best beauty treatments

In the pursuit of glowing, youthful and healthy-looking skin, religiously layering skincare products over your face can only do so much. Sometimes, all it takes may be a filler, laser treatment, or a subtle face-lifting procedure to do the trick. Minor cosmetic treatments or beauty tweakments, as we call it.

With these tweakments, you can erase the signs of work fatigue and never-ending video calls – super handy for those upcoming events. The beauty of it all? They will make you look like a younger and fresher version of yourself, without anyone noticing you had “work” done.

Tip: Depending on the treatment, your skin will need anything from a few days to two months before the results become obvious. So remember to plan ahead.

5 Minor Cosmetic Treatments That Will Help You To Achieve Your Beauty Goals
Goal 1: Look fresh-faced, with clearer, spot-free skin
image

Acne breakouts, clogged pores and skin roughness can mar your look. These medi-facials help clear the skin, leaving the complexion smoother and more refined.

123RF
Advanced Acne Treatment Plus
custom

What it is: A clarifying facial that addresses active breakouts and clogged pores. The Theraclear machine helps remove pus from pimples, followed by light therapy, which soothes inflamed skin and keeps zits at bay. Skin is left clean and clear. However, with acne treatments, one session usually isn’t enough, and a course of six treatments is recommended to achieve the best results.

Where: IDS Aesthetics #05-07/08 Novena Specialist Center, tel: 6568-3559, and #02-02 International Building, tel: 6450-3555

Best done: Three weeks before

Essential Facial Re/Juvenation (EFR)
custom

What it is: Ideal for clogged pores, blackheads and white heads, this purifying facial includes deep cleansing and gentle bio-microdermabrasion to get rid of pore gunk and impurities on the face. This is followed by a transdermal infusion of an in-house booster cocktail, depending on your skin’s needs – hydration, skin barrier strengthening, overall restoration, skin soothing or improved skin health. To finish, a peel-off mask is applied to further nourish, hydrate and brighten skin. To maintain a clean and clear complexion, and keep maskne at bay, you can consider doing the facial once every two weeks or monthly.

Where: DRx Medical Aesthetic Clinic and Medispa #16-01 Tong Building, tel: 6733-1555

Best done: A few days before

Goal 2: Look younger, with lifted skin
image

In need of a subtle facelift? These three treatments are the gold standard, working on the deeper layers of the skin (called the superficial muscular aponeurotic system, or SMAS) to tighten and lift, resulting in a smoother and firmer complexion.

Envato Elements
Thermage FLX
custom

What it is: Using radio frequency, the treatment delivers heat energy into skin to induce collagen and elastin production. By doing so, it jump-starts skin’s renewal process – by helping the collagen fibres to contract, which in turn lifts and tightens skin to reduce sagging. Over time, your face looks lifted, your jawline more defined and sharper, and your complexion, smoother and more youthful.

Ultraformer 3 Hifu
custom

What it is: To get that coveted V-shaped face, the treatment uses high-intensity focused ultrasound technology (Hifu). The heat energy stimulates collagen and elastin production, resulting in lifting and tightening from the inside out, giving you a more defined jawline and features, as well as reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Ultherapy
custom

What it is: Similar to Hifu, Ultherapy also uses ultrasound energy to promote collagen and elastin production. The difference is that the Ultherapy machine allows for real-time feedback of what’s happening during the treatment, which allows the doctor to ensure a more accurate delivery of heat energy to where it will benefit your skin the most. Over time, as new collagen is produced, the skin becomes lifted, the appearance of wrinkles is reduced, and your complexion is smoother and tighter.

No more bubble tea due to circuit breaker? It could be a blessing in disguise!

Dr Kwee shares more about the impact of sugar on your skin in our latest blog post at: https://bit.ly/blog-sugar-skin

image

Plump your skin with moisture and nutrients, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and leave your complexion smooth and supple, like you’ve been clocking in lots of beauty sleep.

Envato Elements
Vitamin Therapy
custom

What it is: Quench dry, lacklustre skin with pure vitamins. These antioxidants are applied on skin to encourage cell turnover and repair, boost moisture levels and promote collagen production. It also strengthens skin against free radicals, for a smooth and supple complexion.

Goal 4: Look glowing and healthy

Have pigmentation and skin sagging? Or acne and skin dryness? For a fit-all-your-needs “tweakment” – hydration, brightening and lifting – consider these multi-tasking options.

Envato Elements
Picosure Laser + Profhilo
custom

What it is: This two-treatment combo is for those with pigmentation, post- acne scarring and mild skin laxity. Picosure is a laser that delivers heat energy in super-fast pulses to tackle pigmentation that lies deep within the skin, but without damaging it. At the same time, it also activates collagen and elastin production to help skin look younger. This is followed by Profhilo, which involves injecting high concentrations of hyaluronic acid into the skin to boost its moisture levels, and stimulate collagen production to plump the skin so it looks firmer and younger.

Luminous Lift
custom

What it is: One laser that combines two wavelengths, the multi-tasking Clarity Dual Laser addresses a variety of skin issues, such as lack of skin elasticity, enlarged pores and pigmentation. It’s even able to get rid of fine facial hair (goodbye, fuzzy moustache) too. Best bit? It’s fast and comes with little downtime, making it a great lunch-time treatment. For optimal skin brightening results, you can do a course of eight monthly sessions.

As you hit a certain number, it’s hard to ignore telltale signs of ageing. First comes the loss of facial volume — sagging jowls, hollowed cheeks, and a square jaw — then the gradual loss in bone mass causes skin to lose support and look haggard. Though ageing is inevitable, you can still keep your chin up when you go V with Volux, an FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal filler. Praised by Dr Melvin Tan as the most rigid and robust of fillers, Juvederm Volux is more adept in lifting skin tissues, pulling skin taut for a more defined jawline and chin area. Its dense gel-like properties also allow it to last longer than earlier generation fillers. Swipe left to learn more about Volux and its benefits. #EPIONClinic Get your V-shaped visage with Juvederm Volux: call 6732 2122 . . . . #EPIONGetGlowing #tanglin #juvedermvolux #sgaesthetics #igsg #herworldsg #expatlivingsg #beautysecret #vshapeface #antiageing #facialrejuvenation #facialaesthetics #advancedaesthetics #sgigbeauty

Perfect 10 Lift + IDS Masktox

With mask-wear and the focus on your upper face, Masktox involves botulinum toxin injections along the upper portion of your face to target forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown lines. Next, the Perfect 10 Lift targets the middle and lower parts of your face with hyaluronic acid injections in two molecular weights. These lift the skin, giving it a youthful suppleness and bounce. Do note that the Perfect 10 Lift involves two Profhilo treatments done a month apart.
