Anti Aging - Types of Aging, Treatment and Skin Care
We want to have young, smooth, wrinkle-free skin but there are so many factors that contribute to ageing skin; such as environment, weather, lifestyle habits, diet, and heredity, When we grow older, the 3 Ds of naturally-occurring age-related facial changes will begin to occur; Deterioration, Descent, and Deflation. Let's find out the different types of aging and how anti aging treatments can help us reverse this process.
Ageing Skin: Deterioration
Deterioration of the skin becomes more and more obvious when we age. The skin becomes thinner, less elastic, loses hydration as well as its strength. The skin no longer has its youthful glow and radiance. Pigmentation, uneven skin colour, fine lines, wrinkles, and small veins begin to appear. This is due to the inefficient shedding of old dead cells from the skin’s surface, resulting in enlarged pores, rough skin, and irregular skin texture. Aesthetic treatments which make use of energy devices like medical lasers, radiofrequency, HIFU and Intense Pulse Light (IPL) are useful in treating these changes.
2. Ageing Skin: The Descent
Descent of the lower face and fat around the cheeks is caused by gravity. As older skin is thinner and less elastic, more folds appear. Of particular concern are the deepening folds of skin between the cheeks and the upper lip area (nasolabial folds), and downward folds from the corners of the mouth to the jawline (marionette lines). The facial triangle of youth with a narrower lower face will later age into a square-shaped face. Aesthetic treatments such as HIFU are one of the effective methods in treating sagging skin.
3. Ageing Skin: Deflation
Deflation arises as the fat pockets in the face shrink as we get older. Reabsorption of bone structure follows, and this makes the face even more sunken. The bone loss may also occur around the mouth and chin and may become evident after the age of 60.
Facial Rejuvenation Treatments - Non Invasive Anti Aging Solution
In order to find the right solution to your aging concerns, we must first understand how the face ages. Facial ageing can include volume loss in the skin which results in wrinkle formation. Loss of elasticity, rough skin texture, uneven skin tone and pigmentation are also signs of ageing. While healthy diet and exercise can slow down the aging effects, it cannot reduce physical signs of aging. So how do we tackle each of these aging concerns? In the series of videos below, our resident doctor, Dr Chiam CT will share with you some of the non-surgical anti aging skin solutions that is suitable for the different types of aging concerns.

Non-Surgical Anti-Ageing Treatments in SingaporeTo Reverse The Ageing Process
While skin ageing is inevitable, modern non-surgical anti-ageing treatments can help address many visible signs of ageing, including fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, skin laxity, loss of firmness, uneven skin tone and texture, and reduced collagen and elasticity.
With advanced technology and personalised treatment plans, we offer a range of non-surgical anti aging treatments for skin tightening, facial lifting, collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation. Depending on the degree and depth of ageing, treatment may combine different energy-based technologies, including laser treatments, radiofrequency (RF), RF microneedling and HIFU, to target different layers of the skin and supporting tissues.
Rather than relying on a single treatment, our approach to non-surgical face lifting and anti-ageing considers changes at different depths—from skin quality and collagen loss to deeper facial laxity and sagging. Because every face ages differently, there is no one-size-fits-all anti-ageing treatment.
A consultation is recommended to assess your skin condition, facial ageing, skin laxity and treatment goals. Following a detailed assessment, our doctor can develop a customised anti-ageing treatment plan in Singapore to address your individual concerns and achieve natural-looking results.
