Having perfect-looking skin is something that many of us strive for. Whether you are looking to treat acne or signs of ageing, or are simply looking for a self-care session, there are a variety of treatments available to help you achieve healthier, younger, more radiant skin. Here are 10 beauty treatments we recommend for perfect-looking skin.
Acne Laser
If you are an acne sufferer, an Acne Laser treatment might just be the solution for you. Fotona’s laser treatment reduces acne inflammation through photoselective absorption and controlled heating effects. Its laser penetrates the skin and safely destroys overactive sebaceous glands. The treatment also accelerates the healing process and stimulates collagen remodelling, an important step in the long-term treatment of acne.
The effectiveness of treatment can be noticeable even after just one session, although the severity of your condition will determine this. Generally, it takes 5-6 sessions to clear acne completely and achieve optimal results. While redness may occur occasionally, there is usually no downtime, meaning that you can go about your day as normal after the treatment. It is recommended to space sessions 2-3 weeks apart, depending on your skin.
Botulinum Toxin
If you are suffering from signs of ageing such as wrinkles around the eyes, botulinum toxin is the “gold standard” treatment to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes. It can be used to treat crow’s feet, lower eye wrinkles, bunny lines, frown lines and orbicularis oculi hypertrophy.
It is the perfect choice for those who want to reduce wrinkles in a natural-looking way, without surgery. The effects of this treatment can be seen within the first week, with optimal results showing after 2-3 weeks. Most people find that they need a touch-up every 3 to 4 months for continued results.
Laser Skin Resurfacing Treatment
For those with uneven and rough skin concerns, laser skin resurfacing can help encourage the growth of fresh, healthy skin while removing the layer of dead unhealthy skin to smooth out the roughness and unevenness for radiant healthy skin.
This treatment is a great way to reduce signs of ageing and wrinkles, as well as improve skin tone. It is also an excellent option for reducing sun damage. Laser skin resurfacing treatments are non-invasive and require minimal downtime, although some redness or swelling may be expected after the treatment.
Dermaplaning
Achieve brighter, smoother, glowing skin with dermaplaning. A simple and safe skincare treatment which removes dead skin cells and vellus hair — also known as peach fuzz, from your face, this treatment helps improve the absorption of skincare products and allows for a smoother application of makeup.
Dermaplaning is perfect for those without many skin concerns and who are simply looking for an extra boost to improve the appearance of their skin.
The treatment is non-invasive and requires no downtime, although some redness may be expected. Results can typically be seen after one treatment, although repeat treatments are recommended for optimal results.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a commonly performed aesthetic treatment which can help improve your overall complexion. This non-invasive procedure removes the upper layers of blemished skin and dead skin cells resulting in a reduction of clogged pores, as well as smoothened skin texture. Microdermabrasion is known to be one of the safest and most effective treatments on the face.
The treatment is usually painless and requires no downtime, although slight redness may be expected after the session. Depending on your skin condition, a series of 4 to 6 sessions may be required for optimal results
Rejuran Healer
Rejuran Healer is a popular anti-ageing treatment in Singapore which helps improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and enhance the overall look of your face. This treatment is known for its natural results as it incorporates Polynucleotide (PN) technology to heal skin cells from within.
It can be used on the forehead, temples, midface, cheek, chin and neck areas, and is suitable for most people. It can be utilised as a preventative treatment in younger adults to delay the skin ageing process as well as to help those with more pronounced effects of ageing skin (uneven skin tone and texture, loss of elasticity and fine lines) and those with skin damaged by acne scars.
Rejuran Healer can also help speed up the healing process after other treatments such as laser treatments. Results can be seen after just one session, although some may require multiple sessions depending on the condition of their skin.
Deep Extraction Facial
Designed especially for those with acne, clogged pores and blackheads, a deep extraction facial will help clarify, purify and hydrate your skin. This facial includes a deep cleansing followed by a manual extraction process that targets breakouts and is perfect for rebalancing sensitive and oily blemish-prone skin.
Results can be seen after just one session, although multiple sessions might be necessary to achieve optimal results. It is important to note that you should avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment and keep your skin hydrated with a gentle moisturiser.
Chemical Peel
Chemical peels involve using chemical acids to remove the top layers of the skin. This exfoliates the skin, resulting in clearer and smoother-looking skin. The treatment also helps to clean out pores and reduce the likelihood of future breakouts. Consistent use of chemical peels can even stimulate the production of new collagen in the skin, leading to an anti-ageing effect.
Depending on the type of peel used, results may be seen after just one session, although mild redness and flaking of the skin will occur. To achieve optimal results, multiple sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart may be necessary. Chemical peels can be used all over the face or in specific areas to target certain concerns. It is important to note that you should avoid sun exposure for at least one week post-treatment.
Skin Hydration Boost
As we get older, our skin loses moisture, which can speed up the ageing process and cause wrinkles and fine lines. Skin hydration boost treatments use hyaluronic acid to help the skin absorb more moisture, which can nourish dry, dehydrated skin and leave it feeling softer and more supple than before.
This treatment can be used all over the face or specifically on areas that appear dry and dehydrated. Results can usually be seen after just one session, although some may need a few sessions to achieve optimal results. It is important to note that you should avoid using harsh skincare products for at least 24 hours post-treatment. The effects of skin hydration boost can last up to 3 months, however, they need a touch-up every 3 to 4 months for continued results.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that has gained popularity all around the world. Using a device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, the process triggers the body’s natural healing response and stimulates collagen and elastin production. Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. The result of micro-needling is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Results can be seen after just one session, although multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal results. Some redness and swelling may occur after the treatment which should subside within a few days. It is important to note that you should avoid sun exposure for at least 48 hours following the procedure.
These are just some of the most popular non-surgical facial treatments available in Singapore. Ultimately, it is important to consult with your doctor or aesthetician to find out which treatment will be most suitable for your skin type and needs. With the right knowledge and advice, you can make an informed decision and ensure that you get the best results possible!
