Falling into a sort of no-man’s land between the face and the body, the neck is probably the most neglected with regards to maintenance and beauty. This is compounded by the fact that the skin of the neck has poorer structural support, and that it is often exposed to the sun without any sunscreen. The skin succumbs to gravity and the jawline droops while fat accumulates at unflattering positions such as the double chin and the jowls. So it is not surprising that the aging neck is the most hated feature of people in their 40s, the decade when most things go downhill (and at an alarmingly fast rate).

Rarely, this fascination piques an interest, and a surgical facelift is done. Why people are exploring non-invasive ways to look younger (or at least maintain their looks) isn’t difficult to understand – the surgical facelift has great results but there are real risks of vascular and nerve injury, poor wound healing, unintended skin loss, and the downtime is long – 2 weeks and approximately 1 full year before all the residual swelling, bruises and changes in sensation resolves. So non-invasive face-lifting treatments found their niche in this majority who are looking at subtle ways to stop the sag, apart from daily sunscreen and anti-aging cream, some treatments to reverse a peeking jowl or to keep that jawline Continue Reading
The most famous celebrities are adored for their good looks – big eyes, luscious lips, a roundish forehead, glossy tresses and a sharp nose coming harmoniously together on a flawless canvas. The nose, in particular, starting between the eyes is part of the focal point of our faces, so it follows that the morphology of our noses is important. The asian nose, in particular in Southeast Asia, is often less-than perfect looking – those with flat bridges and bulbous, round nose tips are left desiring something more lifted, sharper and more defined. There are so many ways to make the nose look more perfect. Obviously there is plastic surgery and there is also makeup. But there is the stigmata of going under the knife and changing one’s looks forever, and on the other hand, there isn’t as much appeal with using makeup. And this is exactly why the non-surgical nose job is probably one of the most commonly requested filler procedures done in Singapore today. It gives one the chance Continue Reading
