Laser resurfacing is a procedure that uses lasers to remove the top layer of skin and stimulate collagen production. This can help to improve the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage. There are two main types of laser resurfacing: ablative and non-ablative. Ablative laser resurfacing removes the entire top layer of skin, while non-ablative laser resurfacing only removes the outer layer of skin. Ablative laser resurfacing is more effective, but it also has a longer recovery time. Non-ablative laser resurfacing is less effective, but it has a shorter recovery time. Radiofrequency treatments use heat to tighten and lift the skin. This can help to improve the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, and jowls. There are two main types of radiofrequency treatments: monopolar and bipolar. Monopolar radiofrequency treatments use a single energy source to heat the skin, while bipolar radiofrequency treatments use two energy sources to heat the skin. Monopolar radiofrequency treatments are more effective, but they can also be more uncomfortable. Bipolar radiofrequency treatments are less effective, but Continue Reading

Broadband Light Therapy for Clear Skin

HST

Broadband light therapy (BBL) is a non-invasive, light-based treatment that can be used to improve a variety of skin conditions, including sun damage, age spots, rosacea, and acne. BBL works by emitting a broad spectrum of light that is absorbed by different components of the skin. This causes the targeted cells to heat up and break down, leading to improvement in the appearance of the skin. Blue, Yellow, and Red Band Lights BBL devices typically emit light in three different bands: blue, yellow, and red. Each band of light has its own specific benefits for skin health. Blue light: Blue light is absorbed by melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. This makes blue light ideal for treating hyperpigmentation conditions such as age spots and melasma. Blue light can also be used to kill bacteria, making it a good choice for treating acne. Yellow light: Yellow light is absorbed by blood vessels. This makes yellow light ideal for treating rosacea and other vascular conditions. Yellow light can also be Continue Reading

Ultherapy: The Non-Surgical Facelift in Singapore

HST

Ultherapy is a non-surgical, non-invasive procedure that uses ultrasound energy to lift and tighten the skin. It is a popular option for people who want to improve the appearance of their face and neck without going under the knife. Ultherapy works by targeting the deep layers of the skin, where collagen and elastin are produced. These are the proteins that give the skin its structure and elasticity. When Ultherapy is applied, it heats up these layers of skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. This results in a lifting and tightening of the skin, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, sagging, and jowls. Ultherapy is a relatively quick and painless procedure. It typically takes about an hour to complete, and there is no downtime required. Most people can return to their normal activities immediately after the procedure. The results of Ultherapy are gradual and can take up to several months to fully develop. However, most people see a significant improvement in the appearance of their skin after Continue Reading
