SAC Aesthetics Clinic Face Lifts & Skin Treatments

在谈到皮肤注射剂时,这是患者最常问的问题之一。如果您碰巧不知道标题上的所说的治疗方法,您可以参考我们以下帖子。

我们为什么要对这些治疗方法进行比较?

3种治疗方法在某些方面有相似之处,对于外行人来说,也正是这些相似之处让我们感到困惑,认为它们都是一样的。

  • 它们都是可注射的治疗方法,通常以人工或注射器在面部皮肤上进行多次注射的形式进行。
  • 它们能改善受到干燥、细纹和松弛困扰的老化皮肤。
  • 它们不会改变我们的脸形。
  • 逆时针和水光针都含有像皮肤填充剂一样的透明质酸(HA),但由于结构不同,它们不会增加面部的体积。

那么,哪种治疗方法是最好的?

嗯,这个问题并没有正确的答案。逆时针,水光针和婴儿针各有各的好。应该问的问题反而是:

“哪种治疗方法对我来说是最好的?”

这三种治疗方法都有其特殊的品质,并已被证明在其各自的领域内是有效的,如果操作得当,会有明显的效果。更重要的是,必然是根据病人的独特皮肤需求和问题选择最适合病人的治疗方法。这些问题可能是皮肤松弛、干燥、皮肤纹理、毛孔大小、疤痕、肤色不均,甚至是以上所有。

首先,我们先看一下这3种产品之间的一些基本区别。

那么,‘谁’会从哪种治疗中受益?

水光针

什么是水光针,谁将会从水光针中受益最大?

水光针被俗称为注射保湿剂。它是一种基于将游离透明质酸多次微量注射到皮肤中以增加皮肤里的水分水平的治疗方法。透明质酸是一种结合水的分子,能够容纳其自身重量10,000倍的水分。常见的品牌包括Restylane Vital LiteTeosyal Redensity I

那些主要想改善皮肤干燥以及想让自己的肤色有一些光彩和光泽的病人,水光针更适合您。

水光针注射需要至少3次疗程,每个疗程间隔一个月,以达到持久的光泽。停工期通常为3-5天,由于治疗过程中会有许多的注射点和不同的注射深度,术后通常会留下微小的注射痕迹,不过也有可能会出现瘀伤。水光针可以通过医生手工注射或使用注射器进行,或两者混合使用。

婴儿针

什么是婴儿针,谁将会从婴儿针中受益最大?

婴儿针是一种基于来自韩国鲑鱼DNA的多核苷酸注射剂。它的主要好处是创造皮肤愈合和胶原蛋白的合成。

有痤疮疤痕、毛孔粗大、皮肤敏感、肤色不均以及发红的病人,婴儿针更适合您。

婴儿针注射也需要至少3次疗程,每个疗程间隔一个月。由于该注射被置于皮肤的浅层(基层膜),患者在接受治疗后会立即出现 “被蚊子叮咬般的肿块”,通常需要24-48小时才能消退。注射痕迹可能会保留3天,但瘀伤的情况极为罕见。

逆时针

什么是逆时针,谁将会从逆时针中受益最大?

逆时针是一种基于高分子量和低分子量透明质酸(HA)的注射剂。它只经过热反应处理,形成一种混合合作复合物。当它通过多层次的动态将会重塑并发挥作用,因此,除了皮肤补水外,它还能刺激胶原蛋白的产生并改善皮肤的松弛状况。

同时受到干燥、松弛和失去弹性以及早期下垂影响的皮肤老化的患者,逆时针更适合您。

由于混合合作复合物的存在,使其对透明质酸的分解更有抵抗力,所以逆时针只需要进行至少2次疗程,每个疗程间隔一个月。

此外,逆时针还具有以下优势,通过使用生物审美点(BAP)技术,逆时针疗程只需要在每侧脸部上注射5个点。这意味着整个治疗只会造成非常小的伤痕,而且通常在一天内消退。在所有3种治疗中,婴儿针的停工期是最短的。

那么,哪种治疗方法适合您?

答案取决于您的皮肤问题,以及您希望通过治疗达到什么目的。在美容实践中,没有 “一刀切 “的解决方案,建议您最好与您的医生详细讨论您想达到的效果。

 

This is one of the most commonly asked questions by patients when it comes to skin injectables. If you happen to not know any of the treatments on the title, you can refer to one of our posts here: 

Why did we compare these treatments? 

These 3 treatments are similar in a few ways, and to the layperson, it is also these similarities that confuse us to think that they are the same:

  1. They are all injectable treatments, usually delivered in the form of multiple injections on the skin of the face either manually or with an injector. 
  2. They improve ageing skin which typically is plagued with dryness, fine lines, and laxity. 
  3. They do not change the shape of our faces. 
  4. Profhilo and Skinboosters both contain hyaluronic acid (HA) like dermal fillers, but due to structural differences, they do not add to volume in the face. 

So, which treatment is the best? 

Well, there is no right answer to this question. Profhilo is not better than skin boosters and vice versa, and the same applies to Rejuran. The right question to ask rather is: 

“Which is the best treatment for me?”

All 3 treatments have their own special qualities and have been proven to be effective in their respective domains, giving significant results if done properly. More importantly, it is imperative and essential that the treatment that is chosen is best suited to target the patient’s unique skin needs and concerns. These concerns could be skin laxity, dryness, skin texture, pore size, scars, uneven skin tone or even all of them. 

Below, we will first look at some basic differences between these 3 products:

 .

Injectable HA contentPain ScoreFrequencyEffects
Profhilo64mg/syringe2ml per syringe2/102 sessions, 1 month apartHydration Plumps skin Improves skin quality Reduces skin laxity Modest lifting effect
Skinboosters15-20mg/syringe1ml/syringe4/10 3-4 sessions, 1 month apartHydration Skin brightening
Rejuran Healer0mg2ml/syringe6/103-4 sessions, 1 month apartImprove skin quality Minimal hydrating effect

So, who will benefit from which treatment?

Skinboosters

What are skinboosters and who will benefit most from Skinboosters?

Skinboosters are colloquially known as injectable moisturizers. It is a treatment that is based on multiple micro-injections of free hyaluronic acid into the skin to increase the hydration level in the skin. HA is a water-binding molecule that is able to hold up to 10,000 times its own weight in water. Common brands include Restylane Vital Lite and Teosyal Redensity I. 

Patients who primarily want to improve skin dryness as well as want some glow and radiance to their complexion will benefit most from skinboosters.

A course of skin booster treatment involves 3 sessions one month apart to achieve long-lasting radiance. Downtime is typically 3-5 days due to the many injection points and depth of injection, typically as small injection marks, although bruising is also a possibility. Skin boosters can be administered via manual hand injections by your doctor or using an injector, or a mixture of both. 

Rejuran

What is Rejuran and who will benefit most from Rejuran?

Rejuran is an injectable based on polynucleotide derived from Salmon DNA from Korea. Its main benefits are creating skin healing and collagen synthesis. 

Patients who have acne scars, open pores, sensitive skin, uneven skin tone as well as redness stand to benefit most from Rejuran injections. 

Rejuran injections also require a minimum of 3 sessions, one month apart. Due to the superficial nature of the injections – it is placed in the superficial layer (basement membrane) of the skin, patients get “mosquitoes bites-like bumps” immediately after treatment that typically take 24-48 hours to subside. Injection marks may remain for up to 3 days, but bruising is exceedingly rare. 

Profhilo

What is Profhilo and who will benefit most from Profhilo? 

Profhilo is an injectable based on both high molecular weight and low molecular weight HA which had been treated with just thermal reaction to form hybrid cooperative complexes. It works by multilevel dynamic remodelling, and hence in addition to skin hydration, it also stimulates collagen production and improves skin laxity. 

Patients with ageing skin that is affected by both dryness, laxity and loss of elasticity with early sagging will benefit most from Profhilo treatment. 

Profhilo requires 2 sessions one month apart due to the presence of cooperative hybrid complexes which renders it more resistant to hyaluronidase breakdown. 

Profhilo also has the advantage of requiring only 5 injection points on each side of the face using the Bio-Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique which means the treatment only causes minimal downtime in the form of swelling over the injection points that usually subside within the day. In all 3 treatments, Profhilo has the least downtime due to this. 

Below is a summary table comparing the 3 products.

So, which treatment is right for you? 

This really depends on your skin concern and what you are looking to achieve with treatment. There is no “one size fits all” solution in aesthetic practice and it is always advisable to speak in detail with your doctor about what you want to achieve. 

As social media becomes an increasingly larger part of our social lives, be it group photos taken at events, or selfies that we post onto our own profiles, we are also increasingly pressured to look the way we have portrayed our digital avatars. 

PHOTO EDITING, SELFIES AND BEAUTY APPS

Photo editing used to be available to only the highest echelons of society, mainly in the form of airbrushed pictures and videos seen in the media.

The advent of beauty and social apps such as Meitu, Instagram and Snapchat in recent years have vastly changed this. Now, every social class in society who has access to a smartphone has the ability to use the various facial filters and editing options to edit their photos and make adjustments to facial features to control the image they portray online. This has redefined the perception of beauty and has allowed us to enhance and beautify our facial and body features in a few clicks and swipe. It has allowed us to take control of our public face in the virtual realm. As a result, wide ranges of “selfies” have since populated the vast social media, ranging from minor edits to completely unnatural looking photos such as the infamous “snake man” from China.

FAKE PIC?

However, despite the now-common phenomenon of photo editing, the advent of these tools has also fuelled new insecurities, such as “what if people noticed?”, “oh, that must have been an edited picture”, “he does not look like that in real life” etc. Also, there is often a fear of not putting your best foot forward – for example, not getting a job or not getting the second date for not looking like the photo in your CV or profile. These have as a result fuelled both insecurities as well as aspirations to look more like our digital images or avatars. 

In the last decade or so, the once-taboo topic of having aesthetic procedures done is now increasingly becoming more mainstream and better accepted socially. Indeed, the acceptance of cosmetic and facial plastic surgery has increased and it is an increasingly common sight to see people discussing what they had done at dinner events, or even overhear discussions about trips to foreign countries for aesthetic and plastic surgical procedures. It is also more common for people to turn up in aesthetic and plastic surgery clinics requesting to look like their app-edited selfies. 

JUST VAIN OR “SNAPCHAT DYSMORPHIA” AT PLAY?

The phenomenon, as it becomes more common, is also attracting more discussions and opinions. Singaporean media TODAY published an opinion recently discussing how doctors in aesthetic and plastic surgery clinics are getting an increasing number of patients requesting to look more like their app-edited selfies, and the concern of how much mental health issues such as body dysmorphia disorder and low self-esteem is at play when it comes to wanting to improve one’s looks.

Rightly so, aesthetic treatments will not treat a fundamental psychological problem and patients who truly have body dysmorphia disorder will not attain satisfaction from aesthetic treatments and in fact may go down a slippery slope of repeatedly seeking enhancements without ever getting satisfaction. 

CAN I LOOK LIKE MY SELFIE?

The desire to enhance one’s look is not new. Selfie-editing apps, however, have now brought the idea of editing how one looks to the masses. After seeing enhanced versions of themselves, people want to be able to control how some of their facial features look. Of course, most people will only want minor improvements, such as a smoother complexion, sharper-looking features, removing their eye bags or dark circles, a more lifted face. Realistic requests and expectations are usually achievable although people also have to be prepared to accept some deviation from their desired results occasionally. 

WHAT CAN BE DONE

With aesthetic and plastic surgery procedures receiving more acceptance, the million dollar question is now whether achieving one’s desired look is possible. 

There are a host of treatments to address particular concerns, and when used in combination, they can generally achieve the ‘wants’, albeit minor deviation from the desired results occasionally. 

Patients who want a clearer complexion may undergo treatments to improve skin texture and tone such as light based therapies the likes of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments and lasers, chemical peels, rejuvenation injections such as Rejuran and skin boosters as well as botox and fillers to lighten the appearance of wrinkles. People with acne scars may consider lasers, peels and injection based treatments such as Rejuran S to lighten and ameliorate the scars over time.

To alter facial features however, a combination of skin tightening treatments, contouring treatments, fillers, thread lifts, botox, or even the more invasive plastic surgery may be used to enhance features such as a higher nose bridge, more defined jaw, slimmer face, higher cheekbones, or even fuller lips; and to reduce the appearance of undesirable features such as a double chin, sagging jowls, deep smile or laugh lines, frown lines, crow’s feet etc. By enhancing the aesthetically pleasing features and reducing the appearance of undesirable features, aesthetic doctors can often rejuvenate and freshen up one’s appearance.

One other common concern is tired eyes. Although most people put this down to having insufficient sleep, the factors causing this is much more complex than that. Tired looking eyes is usually due to a combination of pigmentation in the under eye area, lax skin around the eye, venous congestion as well as herniation of the fat pad under the eye that becomes worse with age. To achieve the ‘eye bag’ function that face editing apps achieve, a combination of treatments including light based therapies such as lasers, fillers and polynucleotide injections, chemical peels, topical skin care as well as addressing age related volume loss in the cheek area, are typically employed to rejuvenate the eyes.

As evident from above, there are many options and ways of dealing with particular aesthetic concerns. However, the perception of beauty and facial features varies greatly, not only between cultures, but also between individuals. This is also the reason why customization and tailoring a personalized treatment plan to each individual is so important. 

THE PRICE OF BEAUTY

All these however come at a price. In an ideal world, everyone will want every treatment that can keep them looking like they were in their 20s. However, as with any procedures, there will be a cost to it. The cost of cosmetic procedures have always been perceived to be high and only accessible to the highest echelons of society. 

In Singapore, the growing aesthetic market has attracted the attention of multiple stakeholders. Over the past decade, the number of aesthetic providers have been steadily increasing. With the increased numbers of providers, costs have been on a downward trend over the past decade. Average prices for procedures have fallen over the years and consumers are having an increasing number of choices in terms of providers as well as treatment options. 

Despite this however, misled by the outdated perception that procedures in medical clinics are costly, some people have unwittingly attended unscrupulous beauty parlours that provide aesthetic procedures illegally, sometimes with dire consequences such as infections, blindness, skin necrosis, disfiguring scars etc. 

There are also people who travel abroad to countries like Thailand or South Korea for cosmetic surgical procedures. While people often get satisfactory results, cosmetic surgeons and practitioners in Singapore are often left to manage complications or revisions from botched surgery overseas. 

WHERE DO I START?

Everyone has a different motivation in wanting to improve their appearance. The first and foremost important question to answer is if that motivation is warranted and valid. Beyond that, other things such as invasive vs. non-invasive procedures, expectations, desired results also make important considerations. Although reading up from validated websites is also a good way to start, readers will have to be cautious of the source, quality and truth of the information they obtain, as every individual responds differently to treatments and there is a lot of misleading half-truths on the world wide web. Having friends who have done it first-hand to speak to will also be helpful and the final step will be to speak to one or even two trusted doctor to understand the procedures, the possible outcomes, risks and treatment plan to definitively address the aesthetic concern before embarking onto the journey of looking like your selfie.
