Everything You Need To Know About Facial Augmentation Using Fillers

Singapore, 2019-Jul-27 — /EPR Network/ — One thing is for certain: Aging is inevitable. The good news is that there are many options these days to rejuvenate your skin without resorting to surgery. One of the most popular options is the liquid facelift.

Liquid facelift is sometimes called “non-surgical facelift” because all it takes is about 30 minutes at the doctor’s office to restore volume and softening wrinkles and fine lines.

If you are considering a liquid facelift in Singapore, Dr. Siew Tuck Wah from Radium Medical Aesthetics shares with us everything you need to know about this procedure so that it keeps you looking your best.

How is liquid facelift administered?

Doctors often use a combination of two treatments to administer liquid facelift: botulinum toxin and dermal fillers.

Botulinum toxin is an injectable treatment that works by inhibiting the nerve impulses that cause your facial muscles to contract, resulting in dynamic wrinkles. Three of the leading brands that doctors in Singapore use are Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin.

There are two categories of dermal fillers in Singapore: Hyaluronic Acid (HA) dermal fillers and collagen fillers such as Ellanse and Radiesse. They aim to give the skin a supple, plump texture. When injected into specific areas of the face, dermal fillers can replenish volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Although both Botox and dermal fillers address aging differently, they complement each other very well to provide subtle lift, restore volume where your face needs it the most, and smoothening out the fine lines and wrinkles effectively. With precise injections, an experienced doctor should take no more than 30 minutes to complete the treatment.

Benefits of liquid facelift

Although a surgical facelift procedure is an effective solution to lift and reposition saggy skin, people are gravitating towards liquid facelift treatment because of its versatility, safety profile, and convenience in performing the treatment.

The benefits of a liquid facelift treatment are:

REDUCE WRINKLES These unsightly lines are often the first to appear on the face when you hit your mid-30s. Fortunately, a liquid facelift can drastically reduce wrinkles and fine lines. Botox is excellent at softening dynamic wrinkles such as the lines between the eyebrows and wrinkles on the forehead. On the other hand, dermal fillers are great for filling deep wrinkles such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

ACHIEVE SHARPER, FIRMER FACE Another aspect of aging that many people are concerned about is the loss of facial shape when the fat pad in the face droops due to gravity. During the liquid facelift treatment, an experienced injector can strategically place dermal fillers to restore lost volume and then use Botox to sculpt the face to provide a completely natural, yet sculpted v-shaped appearance.

REDUCE THE DOUBLE CHIN Using an advanced neck lifting technique, doctors can place tiny amounts of Botox in the neck and lower face to give a more v-shaped and defined jawline. This is done by relaxing the muscles in the neck that pulls the skin downwards.

REDUCE EYE BAGS Aging causes the fat under the eyes to sink and displace from under the eyes. With the fat pad shifted lower under the eyes, the bulging fats make a person look tired and unattractive. By placing tiny amounts of under eye filler, the doctor can fill the depression under the eyes to smoothen out the depression, making the eye bags look like visible.
