What is STAR2?

All encounter skin problems, even those gifted with good skin. Pollution, hereditary skin disorders, stress and aging are some of the factors that cause skin problems. For most people, having skin problems keeps them from looking their best.

The Sciton Skin Tightening And Rejuvenation (STAR2) treatment is an innovative combination of the BBL Broadband light with the SkinTyte2 Infrared technology to effectively address the full spectrum of skin conditions associated with aging, active lifestyle and sun damage.

Recommended for those who want pore refinement, skin tightening for early sagging skin and revitalisation of skin texture, STAR2 can now help one attain and maintain healthy looking skin.

What is STAR2?

STAR stands for Skin Tightening and Rejuvenation.

It is a treatment that utilises Sciton’s Skintyte2 (the upgraded version of the previous Skintyte technology) and Broadband Light (BBL). Skintyte2 delivers heat into the dermis, stimulating collagen production and minimising the appearance of pores and fine lines, while BBL uses light of different wavelengths to target imperfections of the skin such as acne scarring, pigmentation, rosacea and fine lines.

STAR2 is especially well-received by brides/grooms to be,  women with sagging jowls and who want a bit of facial contouring to achieve a slightly more “V-shape” jawline.

What areas can be treated?

Any area of your body can be treated, but the most commonly treated areas are those that appear saggy or havealost their natural collagen and elastic fibres, and areas which are commonly exposed to the damaging effects of the sun. These include the face, neck, underarms, chest and abdomen.

How many treatments does one need?

Typically, four to five treatments are recommended with four to five weeks in between each of them. After only one treatment, your skin will appear considerably lifted and feel tightened.

What happens during the procedure?

First, your eyes are covered with safety shields or glasses and a numbing cream is applied to the areas that are to be treated.

It is normal to feel a slight warming sensation as the light, applied via infra-red, is absorbed

by the targeted areas.

What should one expect after STAR2?

Areas with pigmentation may appear slightly darker but this will gradually fade over several days. Some redness in the treated areas may also be visible. This will subside within several hours.

What post-treatment care is required?

As the treated areas will be sensitive to UV radiation, it is important to avoid direct sun exposure until the areas have completely healed. However, as the procedure is non-invasive and gentle, you will be able to use makeup and resume most of your regular activities immediately.

How does one maintain the results?

STAR2 can be performed every 4-6 months as maintainence. Btx and fillers can also be administered to complement and potentiate the results of STAR2.

A good skincare regimen which includes sunblock is also essential. One recommended product is the Rejuvenation Essence from our LE Timeless range. This potent serum contains active plant cell extracts, which stimulate the skin’s cell renewal and activate the skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is a more youthful-looking complexion.

How Skin Tightening Treatments Can Help You

Sometimes people can’t help but feel teary-eyed as they gaze at their reflections in the mirror and see a face with loose sagging skin staring back at them.

Internal or external causes disrupt the essential molecules that keep the skin elastic, firm, and moisturized, resulting in loose or sagging skin. Between the ages of 35 and 40, most people begin to notice skin laxity or loosening.

Please don’t beat yourself up about it, though. This situation you are experiencing with your skin is normal. There are many ways for you to treat sagging and loose skin.

There are skin-tightening options available to help you improve skin laxity and enhance your appearance. It’s time to look beautiful and feel elegant!

Sit back, relax and find out more about skin tightening treatments.

What causes loose, saggy skin?

If you have firm skin, it can stretch and bounce back easily. But when the skin loses this ability, then it begins to droop. Sagging skin can appear on the body in a variety of places. Saggy skin is commonly seen in the following areas:

Pregnancy, illness, weight loss, and other lifestyle factors contribute to saggy skin. The most significant factor of all is ageing.

As people get older, their ability to produce elastin and collagen decreases. Elastin and collagen are two critical proteins produced in the dermis.

Elastin gives skin elasticity, as its name implies. It gives you tight skin that bounces back when you stretch it.

Fibroblasts are the cells that make collagen. Collagen is responsible for the skin’s firmness and tautness. Tightly-woven fibers make up collagen that aids in the structure and rigidity of the skin.

How can you treat loose and saggy skin?

For minor sagging, exercise may do the trick. You can also consider using topical treatments, such as lotions, serums, and creams. These typically contain retinol, which can help with elasticity around the eyes and on the face.

For moderate sagging, though, you can go for skin-tightening treatments

What are skin-tightening treatments?

Non-Surgical skin tightening techniques are aesthetic procedures used to improve the skin’s appearance. These techniques are significantly less intrusive than surgical ones, such as facelifts and under-the-knife options.

Many people believe that skin-tightening treatments can achieve similar results to those with surgical procedures. The differences are that with the former, there are fewer risks of complications, they are less expensive, and recovery is straightforward.

What are the different types of skin-tightening treatments?

There are many kinds of skin tightening treatments available.

And one of the popular and in-demand procedures is LDM-MED. LDM-MED or Local Dynamic Micro-massage is a skin tightening and rejuvenation treatment that delivers a micro-massage to the treated region using dual-frequency ultrasound technology.

This procedure aims to do the following to your skin:

How is the treatment done?

Therapists will cleanse your face before adding an ultrasonic gel coating to the treatment region. This gel helps to maximize the effects of the ultrasonic waves on the skin, which are delivered directly into the treatment region through an ultrasound probe.

After the treatment, the skin is moisturized and protected with sunscreen.

What are the benefits of getting skin-tightening treatments?

You may ask why you should get your skin tightened and lifted. Here are some of the benefits:

These treatments help clarify facial features and achieve a more contoured body form by strengthening and tightening the skin. They accomplish this by heating the skin’s surface, which induces collagen to contract and firm up.

There’s a noticeable reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

Skin tightening targets the layer of skin, causing collagen production to increase. This efficiently plumps the skin and fills deep folds and even wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Collagen is stimulated by skin tightening treatments, which firm the skin and slow the ageing process. Your skin is visibly tighter immediately following your treatment, and it continues to improve over time.

Are skin tightening treatments painful?

Patients report minimal pain and discomfort from treatments. They only typically experience a warming but comfortable sensation.

Are skin tightening treatments safe and effective

Skin tightening treatments are considered both safe and effective. The FDA has approved it for reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

How long does each session take?

You don’t need to wait that long for the treatment. For example, LDM-MED usually takes only 12 minutes.

How Long Do Skin Tightening Results Last?

You’d be interested to know that you may only need one treatment and notice immediate tightness in your skin. Because your body takes time to produce collagen, you’ll see the best results after roughly 1-2months.

More than one treatment may be beneficial to certain persons.

Conclusion

Many women and even men who want to rapidly tighten and lift their skin without having to go under the knife or experience prolonged downtime are opting for nonsurgical skin tightening procedures.

These treatments use radiofrequency, laser or ultrasonic technologies to target the deeper layers of your skin. This helps tighten existing collagen while also stimulating the production of new collagen, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more youthful appearance.

Skin tightening without surgery is a low-risk alternative to surgery. But before undergoing this treatment, it is critical to have realistic expectations and select a competent and licensed provider.

You don’t need to turn your face away every time you look in the mirror. You can bask in the beauty you see right in front of you. Like others, you can opt to have skin tightening treatments to enhance your appearance and feel more beautiful and confident.

Here at Astique Clinic, we can provide you with great skin tightening treatments with obvious results. Allow us to put an end to your skin woes.

Treating Dark Circles Under Eyes With Eye Aesthetics Through Tailor-made Eye Rejuvenation In Singapore

Did you know that the middle and upper sections of the face are the centers of a vast number of cosmetic problems and indicators of ageing? That’s because they are some of the areas that most people focus on first during conversations.

Some eye aesthetic defects include under-eye bags, wrinkles, sunken cheeks, excess fat in the eyelids, reduced facial structure and contours, and most of all, dark circles under eyes.

While there are many factors that contribute to these aesthetic issues, the most common is natural ageing, especially for dark circles. But even if dark circles are common occurrences to form under our eyes and are not generally a health concern, they can be quite unsightly and difficult to remove.

The good news is you can have dark eye circles treatment. There are many options to choose from. Eye aesthetic treatments are now very common and can be your solution to those annoying dark circles.

What are Dark Circles?

Dark circles are a common complaint, not only among the elderly but also among the youth. A purple or bluish color, or shadow, beneath the eyes distinguishes these traits, which are frequently accompanied by a hollowness around the eye socket.

It’s no wonder that additional pigmentation is common around the eyes; after all, the skin beneath our eyes is six to ten times thinner than the skin on the rest of our face, making blood vessels and capillaries more visible.

What causes dark circles?

Ageing is the most common cause of dark circles in older adults and in the younger population, dark circles form due to increased skin pigmentation or poor blood circulation in the area. Whatever the situation may be, some of us may be perplexed by their emergence or increased prominence.

There are two basic components: skin discoloration and shadows. The thin skin around the eyes and the blood vessels present beneath the skin cause the skin to darken. The shadows are caused by the hollowing of the space beneath the lower lid due to bone loss, and the fat pad migrating downward due to gravity.

What is Eye Aesthetics At Astique Clinic?

The topic of eye care readily lends itself to aesthetic services. Eye aesthetics refers to a variety of cosmetic specialties that help improve the skin’s appearance through treatments of many skin issues, which includes dark circles under the eye.

There are a variety of techniques available to treat and improve their eyes’ look. Other rejuvenating therapies that do not use fillers and are minimally invasive are available to regenerate the skin of the entire face.

What is Eye Rejuvenation?

Until recently, eye aesthetics disorders, such as skin darkening, could only be treated surgically, with extra skin tissues and fat deposits being removed through incisions and tightness restored. However, more innovative measures are now available to obtain some results without incisions, scalpels, downtime, anesthesia, or complications. These non-surgical procedures include eye-rejuvenation treatments.

Eye rejuvenation, often known as a non-surgical eyelift, is a procedure that restores the youthful appearance of your eyes using minimally invasive procedures and injectables.

What are the eye rejuvenation treatments?

Here are three eye rejuvenation treatments that you can do :

  1. Rejuran
  2. Tri-Beam Laser
  3. Casmara Eye Perfection

Rejuran is a salmon-derived polyNucleotide-based anti-aging injection. Polynucleotides aid in tissue healing and inflammation reduction.

The treatment reduces the appearance of sagging skin and wrinkles. Other benefits you can get is improved skin hydration, improved blood circulation and reduced skin pigmentation.

Skin problems are treated with Rejuran by injecting it just beneath the surface. This helps to restore the skin at the precise point where collagen formation is required.

Tri-beam laser

The Tri-Beam laser gently breaks the pigment into tiny particles, which are then absorbed and eliminated naturally by the body. As the skin heals, the treatment area will blend in with the surrounding skin, resulting in a more even complexion.

The Tri-Beam laser can be used with vitamin C serum to get rid of dark circles under the eyes more effectively.

Casmara Eye Perfection

Casmara Eye Perfection is an advanced professional treatment with a global rejuvenating action, carefully formulated to treat the eye contour.

It is a 45 mins indulgent experience that provides deep relaxation that can help in all the signs that age the eyes. It combines growth factors, medicinal botanical extracts and technology inspired by carboxytherapy, to be capable of rejuvenating the eye contour from the first session.

Who can have eye rejuvenation treatment:

Under-eye rejuvenation is a technique to address any under-eye issues you may have. So, this treatment applies to people of all ages who are experiencing eye aesthetic problems such as dark circles.

What are the results of eye rejuvenation treatments?

Results include the eye area having an enhanced texture, suppleness, and vitality. There’s also a significant reduction in eye weariness. Most importantly, rejuvenation treatments reduce dark circles under your eyes.

In Rejuran, a numbing lotion is administered to the skin prior to treatment to alleviate any pain or discomfort. Rejuran I is injected into the inner skin layer through a series of micro-injections to stimulate skin’s cell-regeneration ability, increase epidermis and dermis thickness, and general suppleness, keeping you appearing young and obtaining healthy skin.

The healing process for the skin normally takes 4 weeks to take action and rebuild the skin from the inside. Because the Rejuran Itherapy is essentially a skin mending method utilizing salmon DNA, it takes roughly 4 weeks to notice any obvious changes in your skin texture.

How long do the treatments take?

The process depends on the specific treatment chosen. For example, if you select the Tri-Beam treatment, it’s relatively short. It takes approximately 10 minutes. But although these treatments are quick, they promise long-lasting results.

For Casmara Eye Perfection, the treatment will take roughly 45 minutes.

Is there any downtime?

Typically, there’s no downtime with Casmara Eye Perfection. Following treatment, you can put on make-up and resume your daily activities on the same day.

Suitable Beauty Aesthetic Treatments For Women In Their 40s

They say life really begins at 40, and while some people hold on to this fact ever so tightly, some individuals greatly dread this age because physical signs of aging become more evident. It may not be easy to turn back time, but there will always be a way to still feel beautiful and empowered even at this age.

Plenty of aesthetic treatments are available to keep your physical appearance at its best. Keeping its youthfulness and vitality should no longer be considered a problem because these aesthetic treatments would benefit you and your self-esteem.

Why Aesthetic Treatments Are Important

As one grows older, the signs of aging become more prominent physically. This may begin as soon as we reach our 30s. Without a proper skincare regimen and aesthetic maintenance, by the time we hit our 40s, the signs of aging could be really noticeable.

With aging, the number of melanocytes decreases. These are the cells responsible for producing pigment in the skin. This may lead to a paler and thinner epidermis. There could also be the appearance of pigmented spots, more commonly known as age spots, especially in areas more exposed to the sun as the remaining pigment cells increase in size.

The connective tissue is also affected when one ages. The strength and elasticity of the skin are significantly affected and may lead to sagging and the formation of wrinkles. The skin’s firmness is also affected because the body tends to produce less collagen when one starts to age.

The blood vessels could also become more fragile, leading to bruising, formation of angiomas, and erythematous skin conditions. Sun exposure could also be another huge factor that causes skin conditions once our 40s begin because it causes skin pigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles in the face.

These changes may seem a little overwhelming for you, but all these may be controlled with the help of aesthetic treatments. The impact these aesthetic treatments offer could help improve not the way others view yourself, but more importantly, the way you view yourself.

Aesthetic Treatments Available for All Your Concerns

Skincare concerns may differ from one individual to another. Thankfully, several aesthetic treatments could target your concerns – and they are within your reach!

Final Thoughts

Age should not stop you from feeling confident and empowered. With the widely available aesthetic treatments in Singapore, the possibilities are endless! Remember that beauty has no limits, and even at the age of 40 and above, you can still be powerful.

These facial treatments won’t even take up much of your time because we understand how important your free time is to you.

Below are different face treatments we offer to remedy various concerns, from dull, uneven skin tone to skin rejuvenation and so much more.

Signature Medi Facial

Our Signature Medi-Facial procedure aims to do the following: remove impurities, skin rejuvenation, skin hydration, and improve skin elasticity and firmness. This treatment uses natural and clinical-grade products for a youthful look. Clients are even allowed to choose from three types of Casmara masks: hydrating, clarifying, or anti-aging.

Once the procedure is finished, our therapists apply sunblock and moisturizer on the skin. Each session will take about 75minutes. This treatment is safe and there is only minimal pain felt during the extraction.

HIFU

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a non-invasive ultrasound therapy aimed to lift the skin. You’ll have the results of a surgical facelift without the surgery itself! This face lifting procedure can be utilized on different areas of the face like the neck, jawline or double-chin area, and the cheeks.

Hydrafacial

The medical-grade facial treatment Hydrafacial aims to remove impurities and exfoliate and hydrate the skin. It employs an exclusive delivery system called Vortex-Fusion system on the treatment device to carry out its functions.

The therapist will cleanse the face then use a handheld device to extract impurities while also hydrating the skin with a hydrating solution. Each session will take about 90 minutes.

LED Light Therapy

LED Light therapy is also known as phototherapy and it’s a treatment that utilizes different wavelengths of light to address different skin conditions. We use two forms of light therapy: blue light and red light therapy.

Blue light therapy addresses mild to moderate acne issues and concerns. This therapy does so by addressing the bacteria that cause acne. It may also lower the risk of future outbreaks in the treatment area. Red light therapy, on the other hand, reduces wrinkles and scarring. It goes deep and stimulates the mitochondria to supply more energy to the skin, promoting skin healing and recovery.

Chemical Peel

This skin-resurfacing treatment aims to promote the growth of new skin by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin. By this, it can treat small wrinkles, pores, uneven skin tone, and acne. This treatment uses chemical solutions like a glycolic peel and a neutralizer on the treatment areas. The therapist will also apply sunblock and moisturizer after the treatment.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is also an exfoliating face treatment to shed off dead skin cells for new skin to grow back to replace it. It uses a specialized machine to gently abrade away the outer layer of the skin. By doing this, skin texture and appearance are improved. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, dull looking skin complexion and uneven skin tone and texture.

Facial Laser Treatments

Fractional Laser

Fractional laser is a non-invasive laser therapy that can treat conditions found both on the dermis and epidermis layers of the skin, the outermost and the second layers of the skin, respectively. It treats deep acne scars, facial lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and the removal of moles, skin tags, and Milia seeds.

This treatment is done a fraction of the skin at a time, hence its name. Each session will take about 35 minutes to complete.

Tri-beam

Tri-beam is also a laser facial treatment, but it explicitly uses the Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser. It targets melasma, pigments, and any other conditions found on the dermis layer. It can treat birthmarks, hyperpigmentations like melasma, sunspots, and freckles, and even treat dark eye circles.

Dual Yellow

Dual yellow laser facial treatment utilizes two lights, yellow and green, to treat a variety of concerns: acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and more. It doesn’t leave any micro-wounds on the skin, and it does reach the deep dermis layer to address the source of the concern. Due to this, there’s a lower possibility of the condition recurring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There Any Downtime To These Facial Treatments? Are They Painful?

Most of the treatments will have little to no pain. Appropriate numbing agents are given before specific treatments to keep you comfortable. There are also some treatments that have a downtime. Most cases of the fractional laser treatment have a downtime of 5-7 days.

We do recommend our clients get a proper assessment with our doctors first before the treatments. Rest assured, all the procedures are safe thanks to the experienced and capable hands of our staff of therapists and doctors.

Women, Empower Yourself with Aesthetic Treatments in Singapore

The pandemic is about to end. Not because Covid-19 is gone, but because we need to treat it as part of our daily lives. As long as we follow the necessary protocols to avoid getting sick, then we’re good. Some will still get sick. Some may still die from it. We are now in the Endemic phase which is the new normal.

Experiencing this must not stop us from living life to the fullest!

There are other things we need to focus on. One of those things is our beauty and wellness. We should not brush off out beauty goals just because we’re facing the threat of Covid-19.

That is why the medical aesthetic industry is here to stay. There are various therapies and treatments for you to choose from to improve your whole being. Bring back that inner and outer glow that this pandemic has snatched from you.

It’s time to try out aesthetic treatments for all your problem areas like the face, neck, abdomen, arms, and thighs to get you back on your feet, and below are some possible therapies for you.

Here Are Aesthetic Treatments For Women

These non-surgical procedures aim to bring out the best in you regardless of age or life stage. Whether it is a problem area you’ve been battling for long or an area in your body that you just want to enhance, aesthetic treatments can address those.

There are various options to choose from for every individual. Listed below are some of the different treatments for different concerns, from acne problems, face slimming procedures to laser facials.

Dark Eye Circle

There are many reasons why you have dark circles around the eyes. It’s not only because you lack sleep. It could be fatigue, allergies, age, genetics, sun overexposure, and even dehydration.

Eye rejuvenation is a treatment package consisting of the Tri-beam laser and Vitamin C to get rid of unwanted discoloration. The Tri-beam laser specifically targets pigments found in the dermis and epidermis, the topmost layer of the skin, and breaks down these pigments for the skin to reabsorb and remove via the bloodstream. Therapists also massage the undereye area to stimulate blood flow to the area to reduce congestion in the area.

Dermal fillers like Juvederm Volbella or Rejuran I can also be used to treat wrinkles present in the eye area, giving you a more youthful look.

Loose or Saggy Skin

Our skin normally loosens and sags as collagen loss is a normal part of the aging process. It can also be due to exposure to ultraviolet light. Long exposures to UV or sun may break down the collagen, making it lose its flexibility. It may also be due to repeated facial expressions we use every day, from smiling to squinting.

If you want tighter skin, we have a wide selection of treatments to choose from.

A non-invasive treatment method is the HIFU or the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound. The ultrasound energy penetrates up to the muscle layer to stimulate the collagen fibers to produce more collagen. It’s a facial treatment designed to lift and tighten your skin for a more youthful look.

Juvederm fillers, on the other hand, consist of dermal filler injections composed of a hyaluronic acid base. It seeks to return the volume lost in main concern areas like laugh lines, the nose, cheeks, lips, jawline, and chin.

If you’re looking for other ways to repair skin cells and tighten your skin in Singapore, Rejuran could be the answer. It’s injectables formulated from South Korea to tighten pores and keep signs of aging at bay. The formula contains extracts of salmon DNA, which is compatible with human DNA to help stimulate your cells to increase cell and collagen production.

Dull or Uneven Skin Tone

There are some days where you want fresh and supple-looking skin to make you feel special and make your day. One of the methods to keep your skin looking fresh is a chemical peel.

chemical peel is done by applying a glycolic acid peel to exfoliate the outermost layer of your skin to improve the skin tone and even other concerns, like acne and small wrinkles. Peeling off the outer layer promotes your cells to create newer, younger skin.

The dual yellow laser treatment uses a gentle laser that brightens the skin and treats several skin conditions, from acne to melasma and other pigmentation lesions. It focuses directly on the cause of the problem, so these concerns are addressed in just several sessions.

Hair Removal

If your primary concern is removing hair on the face, underarms, back, chest, legs, or the bikini line, you can choose SharpLight IPL.

SharpLight Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) utilizes pulses oflight to reach the hair follicle deep in the skin. The intensity is enough to affect the hair follicle but not harm the tissues and structures surrounding it. As hair naturally regrows in different phases, you may need several sessions to achieve a good result.

If other handpieces are used with the machine to create other light wavelengths, this treatment can also be used to target acne or target skin cells for rejuvenation.

Unwanted Fat

We all live busy lives, so it’s hard to arrange schedules for gym sessions to burn down calories and fat. The alternative is to freeze these fat cells, and it’s done through a procedure called CoolSculpting.

This method employs the theory of destroying fat cells by freezing them to a point that they undergo a natural cell death, so that they are broken down into smaller pieces to be absorbed then excreted by the normal body functions. It also comes in three different area-specific treatments, like the Cool Max for the abdomen area, Cool Smooth for arms and thighs, and CoolMini for double-chin problems.

Not everyone has the same metabolism to burn off unwanted fats in particular areas of the body, so not everyone could shed the pounds some people can easily do.

If you think you have tried everything you can to get rid of unwanted and stubborn fats, there is still hope! 

Fat reduction in problem areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms, is indeed difficult to achieve by just following your exercise routine and meal plan. The location and whether it is visceral or subcutaneous fat must be factored in losing weight. 

Worry no more because with CoolSculpting Fat Freeze Treament, you can minimise the body fats around the stubborn areas, look good, feel great, shape your body and your life!

What is Fat Freeze CoolSculpting In Singapore?

CoolSculpting is an FDA-approved method of fat reduction. Its body sculpting technology has been known to produce safe, effective, and visible results. It is an innovative treatment that helps sculpt your body the way you want it.

In a way, it is similar to liposuction because it is used to remove body fat which is difficult to remove even with intense exercise and diet. However, CoolSculpting treatment is non-invasive, so it offers less risk than going under the knife to lose those stubborn body fats. 

This procedure works by delivering a controlled and directed cooling aimed at the fat cells present under the patient’s skin. A device that functions like a vacuum will be directly placed on the particular problem areas you want to slim down. It will then provide a cool sensation directly on the targeted cells. In turn, the cooling sensation will freeze and destroy the fat cells. The body then processes these fat cells to eliminate them naturally. 

Does CoolSculpting Fat Freeze Work?

CoolSculpting is undoubtedly a good way to eliminate unwanted fat because it aims to remove fats in the hard-to-reach parts of the body. 

Because the application of the cooling handpiece is customisable, it can be placed on the problem area directly. Different applicators could also be placed on these target areas to obtain the target results. 

What Are the Benefits of CoolSculpting?

Astique aesthetic doctor determines the number of sessions upon consultation, examination, and understanding the patient’s needs, goals, and expected transformation outcomes. 

Is CoolSculpting Safe In Singapore?

The safety and efficacy profile of this treatment has been well-established. Because it is a non-invasive procedure for fat reduction, it has minimal risks compared to other treatments like liposuction. The cooling devices used during the procedure also have safety measures that automatically shut the device down when it detects too much coldness in the patient’s skin.

Are The Results of CoolSculpting Permanent? 

The body will eliminate the fat cells destroyed during the CoolSculpting treatment through a natural process. This procedure destroys and eliminates the fat cells through freezing and breaking them down. Once broken down and eliminated by the body, they are now permanently gone. As adults we are not able to grow any new fat cells.

Large areas treated in CoolSculpting, such as the abdomen, may potentially lose up to three inches while smaller areas like the arms could lose half an inch. Large areas contain more fat, so they tend to lose more fat when compared to smaller areas of the body.

However, when you forget to maintain your diet or exercise, the remaining fat cells in your body could grow in size again. When this happens, the size you already lost through CoolSculpting could be gained again. The slimming results of CoolSculpting treatment may be permanent if an individual has discipline when it comes to maintaining a steady weight.

Enhance Your Skin Complexion with Dual Yellow Laser Treatment Singapore.

Rejuvenate your Skin Quality And Transform Your Aesthetic Appearance.

Young or old, all want to maintain a blemish-free skin. A skin that is flawless, crystal clear, and healthy. Who wouldn’t want a skin like this?  The hard truth is, this is sometimes difficult to achieve because of so many factors such as stress. 

Several non-invasive procedures are available to help solve these skin problems. Fortunately, they are right within your reach. With Dual Yellow Laser, which is a FDA-approved procedure, it is not impossible to eliminate, if not, minimize the skin pigmentations we have been carrying all along.

What is Dual Yellow Laser?

Dual Yellow Laser is one of the safe and effective procedures that can be performed to reduce skin pigmentations like melasma, and other conditions like telangiectasia, rosacea, acne and angiomas. The laser technology of Dual Yellow Laser relies on copper bromide, which produces wavelengths of different lengths that penetrate the skin. 

As the name implies, the combination of yellow and greenish-yellow light is emitted at 511 nm and 578 nm in Dual Yellow Laser, targeting skin pigmentations. Each wavelength emitted by Dual Yellow Laser relies on copper bromide technology. This helps the laser penetrate even the deeper layers of the skin without causing any damage to the surrounding tissue. 

Why Is Dual Yellow Laser Good for Melasma Treatment?

Melasma is an uneven and patchy pigmentation present in the skin. It appears as a mottled grey to brown discoloration on the cheeks, upper lip, forehead, or nose. According to a journal entitled Melasma: Asians are more prone to having melasma and until today, this skin condition is still not fully understood. 

Vascular and pigmentation problems like melasma respond well to Dual Yellow Laser because of its absorption peaks. The wavelengths emitted by this procedure reach the deep dermis, which the pigments then absorb safely without causing any harm to the other parts. 

The green and yellow light that this pigmentation laser emits works by halting the melanin production right at the source. Hence, it is an effective treatment for skin pigmentations like melasma. At the same time, Dual Yellow Laser or melasma laser also limits the production of melanin, so the chances of developing the skin condition again are reduced. 

Why Is Dual Yellow Laser Good for Skin Redness and Rosacea?

As individuals age, dilated blood vessels or capillaries appear on the surface of the skin. Skin redness becomes evident because the dilation of these blood vessels causes easy flushing. Rosacea is another chronic skin condition that is characterized by red blotchy spots with uneven skin tone. Even with the help of cosmetics, these discolorations can still appear.

With the help of Dual Yellow Laser with the yellow light emitted at 578 nm, the oxyhemoglobin present in the blood is targeted. The laser shrinks the blood vessels, leading to a significant reduction of the redness on the skin’s surface. The Dual Yellow Laser before and after would show promising results for individuals with these conditions.

What are The Other Benefits of Dual Yellow Lasers?

Aside from treating skin conditions such as melasma, rosacea, and skin redness, Dual Yellow Laser also offers other benefits. Dual Yellow Laser benefits are as follows:

Is The Procedure Painful?

Unlike other laser treatments available in different cosmetic clinics, Dual Yellow Laser treats the patients’ skin conditions gently. There are no micro-wounds created on the surface of the skin, so no break is created. Through this manner, the patients who undergo Dual Yellow Laser can remain comfortable even without numbing creams or topical anesthetics. 

Additionally, since the heat emitted by Dual Yellow Laser is scattered when it hits the skin’s surface, there is very little to no discomfort felt by the patient. 

What Is the Downtime for Dual Yellow Laser?

There is usually no downtime after a Dual Yellow Laser session.

For the treatment of rosacea and acne marks, there may be some flushed skin because of the emitted light, but it will last for only a few hours and will then subside.

What are The Side Effects and Risks of Dual Yellow Laser?

The Dual Yellow Laser is a generally safe treatment, especially when done under trained professionals. Patients who underwent this treatment have experienced minor skin redness that subsides after a few hours. 

Patients may resume their activities on the same day without taking too much of their time. 

Who Can Undergo Dual Yellow Laser?

Individuals suffering from dull skin with pigmentations may undergo this procedure. Specifically:

Can I Still Undergo Other Treatments After Undergoing Dual Yellow Laser?

Apart from Dual Yellow Laser, you can also undergo other cosmetic treatments. It is highly recommended to be combined with other treatments to see enhanced results.

However, it is still advisable to consult your doctor before undergoing these treatments to ensure your utmost safety.

Acne Scar Laser Treatment In Singapore

How To Overcome Acne and Acne Scars Successfully?

Every person goes through the stage of adolescence. In this developing stage of an individual’s life, many changes happen mentally, emotionally and physically, including the physiological phase when pimples start to invade our once acne-free skin. After adolescence, most of us thought that we could already say goodbye to all the pimples. But well, we couldn’t have been more wrong.

Pimples and the scars they cause can have a negative impact on one’s self-esteem and self-confidence. It can affect how an individual carries themselves. This is important as it can affect how one looks, feels and ultimately has an impact in how they think, feel and behave as they evolve as a person.

What is Acne Scar?

The pores where acne and pimples are located around the forehead, cheeks, chin and even nose can swell and break down, which may lead to severe inflammation. Acne scars are the aftermath of inflammation and damage to the skin. You might try to use certain cream, gels, ointments or even consume unprescribed pills, but it might not bring you the solution to the problem and treatments for the dents and marks surrounding the face area.

What are the types of Acne Scar?

There are several types of acne scars, and all may be present in a single person’s face. A good beginning is to identify the type of scars and what specific or mix of scars you possess.

How do you get rid of Acne Scar?

Depending on the type of acne scars a patient has, there are several options available for treatment, and to help minimise the appearance of scars and elevate the surface area of the skin to make the scars less visible!

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels could be a good way to minimise the acne scars around the face and enhance the quality of the skin. This particular procedure involves placing a strong TCA solution into the skin with the use of needles or toothpicks. With this meticulous procedure, patients who have icepick scars could benefit well from this type of chemical peel.

Radiofrequency Microneedling

Treatment such as INFINI delivers radiofrequency energy to the layers of the skin and penetrates up to 3.5 mm through the use of microneedles. This helps enhance the collagen production that would eventually lead to remodeling of the skin and the scars that acne left.

Acne Scar Fillers

Some acne scar fillers that include Juvederm voliteRejuran S and Profhilo could also help reduce acne scars’ severity. These fillers help lift the shallow and broad depressions in the face. Some of these products also stimulate collagen production that permanently improves the scars that were injected.

Subcision of Acne Scars

Some acne may cause indentations because they tend to pull the skin surface down due to scar fibers forming. Individuals with this kind of acne scars would benefit less from laser treatments because it will have limited effects on the scar tissues. In the subcision of acne scars, a needle would be inserted under it to try to release the tethered tissue.

Laser Treatment for Acne Scars

Laser treatments target both acne scars and marks around a huge portion of the face area, and there are several types of laser treatments available depending on the skin condition. They help peel the outer layer composed of dead cells off the skin and boost the skin’s collagen production. In turn, the damaged skin cells are repaired and new collagen is created to support the skin structure.

Today, some types of laser treatment available in the market include the following:

How does Acne Laser Treatment Work?

Treatments involving lasers that make use of focused light therapy produce two significant effects. It delivers heat into the blood vessels to enhance collagen production, and second, it exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin. These effects stimulate the generation of new skin cells that help fill the holes and depressions of the acne scars.

During the procedure, patients may feel some heat sensations, and this greatly depends on a patient’s pain threshold. Laser treatments typically require downtime of 3 days to 10 days to completely heal. Mild erythema and swelling are commonly experienced post-procedure.

Are The Results of Acne Scar Treatment In Singapore Permanent?

The results produced after acne scar laser treatments can be permanent, but the laser method utilised and the number of sessions should be considered. The post-treatment results may be affected by the patient’s normal aging process along with their skincare routine after undergoing the laser treatment. Their sun exposure should also be considered.

It is essential to remember that a treatment does not produce the same effect for everyone, so the results may differ from one person to another.

How Much Will My Scars Improve After the Treatment Done At Astique?

The improvement may depend on a patient’s type of acne scar, along with the type of skin they have and its response. Majority of patients who undergo this treatment experience an improvement of approximately 50-70%. Some patients may even witness a 70-80% improvement after an acne scar laser treatment.

Improvement after the treatment also depends on the type of scarring on a patient’s face. Particular procedures target each type of acne scar. For icepick and boxcar scars, fractional CO2 is a good treatment. On the other hand, patients with rolling scars may benefit from Rejuran S and fractional CO2 laser.

How Much Will an Acne Scar Laser Treatment Cost In Singapore?

The cost is primarily dependent on the specific treatment and acne scar removal clinic. Some procedures such as pulse-dye lasers amount to $250 to $400, while other procedures like fractional laser may cost at least $500 up to a thousand dollars per session.
