Nose Filler Singapore

Nose Fillers – An Overview

Non-surgical Nose Job

Fillers are fast becoming the go to method of correcting deficiencies or asymmetries in our faces. And this is ever more evident with nose fillers.

Years ago, people had to turn to plastic surgery and rhinoplasty to correct or enhance or change the shape and structure of their noses. Rhinoplasty is still popular and provides a long term/permanent solution. However, the costs, downtime and recovery process of undergoing a major surgery are big factors to consider.

With the advent of nose fillers, we can correct, enhance and define a patient’s nose, without the high costs and downtime of a major surgery. And the effects can be seen immediately.

There has been an increasing trend towards getting nose fillers amongst Asian patients. In general, compared to Caucasians, most Asians have a flat or depressed nose bridge and a small nose tip. Nose fillers can be used to elevate and define a flat nose bridge. Fillers in general fill up a lack of volume/space (hence the term fillers). And so, areas of the nose (the bridge and tip) that are deficient in volume, can easily be filled up. This enhances the shape and structure of the nose, giving the patient the nose type that they desire.

How Long Is The Procedure

The procedure itself does not take long, from 10 to 15 minutes. Several small injections via a needle or cannula (blunt tipped needle) will be used.

As with any injection, there may be some bruising or swelling at the site of injection, but this is transient and will disappear after several hours. To ease any discomfort, numbing cream will be applied prior to the procedure.

What Kind Of Fillers Do We Use

At S Aesthetics Clinic, the nose fillers used for the nose are part of the Juvederm range by Allergan, in particular Volux. Volux is one of the newer products made by Allergan in recent years. Volux is ideal for the nose as it is firmer than other fillers and so provides better definition. It also lasts longer than other fillers.

Like the other fillers in the Juvederm range, Volux is a hyaluronic acid filler. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the body and so there is almost a zero chance of rejection or allergies. The fillers are also dissolvable and so if any corrections need to be made, it can be done easily without the need for surgical intervention.

S Aesthetics is also proud to introduce Cleviel Contour, the latest HA filler on the market. Developed in Korea, Cleviel Contour has the highest HA content (50mg/ml). Together with its patented 4L cross linking technology, Cleviel Contour has a minimal risk of spreading and lasts longer than other fillers. This makes it ideal for shaping and contouring the nose.

What Is The Downtime

As mentioned above, other than slight bruising and swelling, there is little or no downtime and after the procedure, the patient can continue with his/her daily activities and routines. The only precaution that patients must take is not to go for any facial massage, especially in the first 72 hours after injection.HA fillers will integrate well with the tissues of the body, giving a natural look. This integration takes time however. Over a period of several days at least. During this time, before full integration has taken place, if there is any strong forces applied to the face (by massages or otherwise), the fillers may move/migrate or even flatten out and the shape of the nose can be distorted.

HA nose fillers can also be used to correct any asymmetry as well. Asymmetry in a nose can be a result of an old injury, a surgical complication or even a poorly done nose thread procedure.

Conclusion

Overall, nose fillers are an easy way to get the nose shape and height that many want, without the major complications of a surgery, all in under 20 minutes!

At S Aesthetics Clinic, we will do a thorough assessment and history and give you the optimal treatments available. Our skilled doctors will give you the desired outcome with minimal or no complications.

Laser Tattoo Removal – A guide To Estimating The Number Of Treatment Sessions Required

“Doctor, how many sessions will it take to remove my tattoo?”

An accurate estimate on the number of sessions required for tattoo removal is important to patients. Some patients need to work within a time frame to remove a tattoo, especially if they are having a wedding in a few month’s time. Other patients want to estimate costs and time incurred for each treatment. Whatever the case may be, having a degree of certainty with regard to the number of sessions and time required to remove a tattoo would let a patient make an informed decision on whether they would proceed with removal or not.

To understand the amount of time and effort needed for any tattoo removal, laser practitioners worldwide use the Kirby Desai Tattoo removal scale, a clinical predictive scale developed by American Dermatologists working in high-volume tattoo removal clinics. The scale considers patient and tattoo factors to estimate the number of sessions required for complete tattoo removal.

Factor 1: Skin type (1-6 points)

A patient’s Fitzpatrick skin type is graded from type 1 to 6 based on the amount of melanin in the skin. Darker skin types tend to carry more melanin, which reduces the amount of laser energy that reaches the pigment. This means more laser sessions. Additionally, darker skin types tend to have a higher risk of scarring and hypopigmentation. Thus, laser practitioners will usually use more conservative settings and extend the interval between sessions.

Factor 2: Location of tattoo (1-5 points)

After laser treatment, tattoo pigments are pulverized into smaller fragments which are then absorbed into the bloodstream cleared through the lymphatic system. Areas of the body with good blood supply and lymphatic drainage will get rid of the tattoo pigments more quickly.

Factor 3: Amount of tattoo ink (1-4 points)

Amateur tattoos tend to be more superficial and contain less ink when compared to professional tattoos which are deeper and contain more ink.

Factor 4: Layering of tattoos (0-2 points)

One way of concealing an unwanted tattoo is to place a larger and darker colored tattoo over it – a technique known as “layering”. This makes laser tattoo removal more difficult.

Factor 5: Scarring (0-5 points)

Skin implantation of tattoo ink causes trauma and foreign body reaction, which leads to scarring. Scar tissue impedes laser tattoo removal as it blocks both laser energy and the body’s scavenger cells from reaching the tattoo pigments.

Factor 6: Tattoo color (1-4 points)

Black tattoo ink is the easiest to remove, followed by red ink. Green, yellow, and blue inks are difficult to remove. White and pink inks are impossible to remove.

Estimating how number of sessions and time required for tattoo removal

The Kirby Desai scale gives a good estimate, with an 80% accuracy. If a patient scores 10 points on the scale (for an estimated 10 sessions), then the actual number of sessions required will range from 8 to 12 sessions. Each session should be 4-6 weeks apart. Here are some examples of how the Kirby Desai scale can be applied:

Skin type 2 (2point), upper chest (2 points), amateur tattoo (1 point), no scarring/layering (0 points), black ink only (1 point) = 5 sessions

Skin type 5 (5 points), upper chest (2 points), professional tattoo with moderate amount of ink (3 points), no scarring/layering (0 points), multicolored with black, blue, red, orange ink (4 points) = 14 sessions

Skin type 3 (3 points), upper chest (2 points), professional tattoo with significant amount of ink (4 points), no scarring/layering (0 points), multicolored with black, red, yellow ink (4 points) = 13 sessions

SecretDUO- Two Effective Treatments Working In Synergy

 

An upgrade on the well known SecretRF treatment is the SecretDUO, which is a multi-purpose 2 in 1 device able to perform both radiofrequency microneedling treatments as well as non ablative skin rejuvenation with a 1540nm Erbium Glass laser.

Each treatment takes about 20-30 minutes in two parts:

Firstly, radiofrequency microneedling is performed to stimulate collagen production in the deep layer of the skin (deep dermis). This is followed by treatment with the 1540nm Erbium Glass laser, which tightens the superficial layer of the skin (epithelium and superficial dermis).

Working together, these two technologies are able to provide a no downtime, effective and safe treatment for: Acne scars, sagging skin, wrinkles, stretch marks, double chin and eye bags.

 

FAQs

  • How many treatments are required?

Typically- 3 sessions a month apart are recommended

  • Is the treatment painful?

A topical anaesthetic (numbing cream) will be applied to the skin before treatment, so most patients find this treatment only mildly uncomfortable

  • Is there downtime?

There is no downtime and patients can return to office work/indoor activities right away, and resume exercise/outdoor sports after 5-7 days. Most patients experience skin redness and tightness that goes away after 2-3 days.

  • How is this treatment different from CO2 laser?

Fractional CO2 laser is another commonly used treatment for acne scars and skin rejuvenation. However, it needs to be used in caution in darker skin types as there is a risk of developing hyperpigmentation. Also, the downtime is longer after a CO2 laser treatment, typically 5-7 days.

Radiesse: A Long Lasting Filler with Collagen-stimulating Properties

Rediesse is a long-lasting filler with a proven track record of over 10 million treatments since 2006. This US FDA approved treatment can:

  • Volumise facial areas and deep wrinkles.
  • Help in hand rejuvenation.
  • Help with deep acne scars and skin rejuvenation.

Radiesse works in two steps. The first part is an immediate restoration of volume to the treated location. Then, over the next 1 – 3 months, the Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHa) microspheres will act as a scaffold for skin cells to attach to and produce new collagen. This will result in firmed, lifted and radiant skin with less wrinkles. Results last for approximately 18-24 months,  which is why treatments are recommended every 2 years.

FAQs

  • How long does a treatment take? Is there any downtime? 

In experienced hands, the treatment takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the areas treated. You will experience some swelling of the treated areas for a few days. There is no downtime and you can return to normal activity right away, although it is recommended not to do any facial massages for 1-2 weeks until the product has settled into the skin

  • Is the treatment painful?

This treatment is not painful, only mildly uncomfortable from the injection. A topical local anaesthetic will be applied prior to treatment. In addition, Radiesse PLUS contains 0.3% of lidocaine, a local anaesthetic.

  • Who should not go for this treatment?

This treatment is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with open wounds on the skin. 

  • How is this treatment different from fillers such as Juvederm/Restylane? 

Most fillers on the market are made from hyaluronic acid- they act by volumizing the treated areas. The results typically last for 9-12 months and annual treatments are recommended. 

For patients who are receiving fillers for the first time- it is better to start with a hyaluronic acid filler, which can be reversed. For those who have received fillers before and liked the result, and are seeking a longer lasting (and more value for money!) treatment, then Radiesse would be ideal.

  • How is Radiesse different from Sculptra or Ellanse?

These 3 injectible fillers are similar in many ways- they are long lasting (>1 year) filler treatments that provide volume restoration as well as collagen stimulation. There are slight differences- the active compound is different- Radiesse contains CaHa (Calcium Hydroxyapatite) in a CMC (CarboxyMethylCellullose) gel, Ellanse contains PCL (Polycaprolactone) in a CMC (CarboxyMethylCellullose) gel and Sculptra contains PLLA (Poly-L-Lactic Acid). Radiesse is unique as it is the FDA approved for hand rejuvenation, and can also be hyperdiluted to use for skin rejuvenation. At S Aesthetics Clinic, we provide all 3 treatments (Radiesse/Ellanse/Sculptra), so patients can have a choice of their preferred treatment after a detailed consultation.
