Dermal Fillers Singapore- Benefits & Side Effects
Non Surgical Face Lifting with Dermal Fillers
We believe that for someone to look their best, we must first truly understand the art of beauty. By making subtle changes to facial features using dermal fillers, it is possible to achieve a more youthful look and reverse the signs of ageing – naturally.
Dermal fillers, also known as facial fillers, are the perfect procedure for people who want to improve their facial features but are unwilling to experience any potential surgery complications. Non-surgical facelift using dermal fillers has been growing in popularity across Singapore and throughout the rest of Asia. This treatment enhances your facial features by improving your contours and restoring lost volume. It also adds smoothness to your skin by reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
One of the Popular Hyaluronic Acid Filler Brands: Juvederm
Juvéderm is a dermal filler composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is naturally found in the skin and helps retain water. This is a same-day treatment that gives a hydrated complexion and a natural lift. Dermal fillers can also smooth wrinkles and folds and create a fuller, more sensuous look to your lips. People who have lost facial volume or sunken eyes due to ageing may be able to benefit from this treatment. The results are immediate and discrete, and there is no downtime.
Hyaluronic acid is found naturally in our skin. As we age, our skin begins to lose certain key components, such as hyaluronic acid, that keep our skin supple. It is hyaluronic acid (HA) that gives your skin its resilience, youthful contours, and the ability to withstand time, wind, and weather.
How does this Anti-Ageing Injectable work?
The Juvéderm is made of NASHA gel (Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid). Juvéderm's NASHA gel's consistency is custom-tailored to match the tissues in your skin. This treatment replenishes HA, which helps retain the skin's hydration by allowing nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to pass through the gel freely. In addition to helping your skin to produce natural collagen in the treated areas, Juvederm Volite can also improve your overall appearance over time.
Hyaluronic acid in this treatment is cross-linked, which means that the effect lasts much longer than normal HAs. It can absorb water 100 times its weight to give our skin its youthful, plump appearance. This marvellous molecule is now used in most dermal fillers to delay ageing. It is commonly known as "Liquid Facelift," which restores lost volume, fills up wrinkles, and lifts ageing skin. In just 1 treatment, the skin's hydration can be improved for up to 9 months. Since the body has its own system for absorbing hyaluronic acid, it would also slowly disappear over time without a trace.
