Following the “Bird Box Challenge”, and the “Top Nine Photos Of The Year Challenge”, the most recent Facebook challenge which went viral just about a week ago called the “10-Year Challenge” has already gotten more than 5 million participating, as we speak.

In the past, if you wanted to change how your nose looked like, you had only the surgical nose job to look forward to. Now, injectable dermal fillers are actually a thing, and these miraculous things can actually transform your nose in less than 30 minutes. But wait, even more recently, nose threadlifts have gained their own foothold in the market. Just what exactly are all the options for someone who wants a new nose, and which ones are suitable for you? How can inserting a gel or thin suture threads into the nose make it look smaller?   1. Nose Fillers Also known as the “Liquid nose job”, this lunchtime procedure is magically transformative. Dermal nose fillers in a gel form are injected into the nose and last anywhere between 6 months to 2 years. These fillers are commonly made of a biodissolvable substance such as hyaluronic acid, and your body dissolves the filler over time.

The neck is often neglected because we pay so much attention to our faces. But did you know that telltale signs of age also reside in the neck? We teach you how you can look a couple of decades younger by paying some attention to your neck. Fend off wrinkles and fine lines on the neck with these treatments.   NECK LIFTING There is nothing worse than a line-free face juxtaposed with an obviously neglected neck. With age, the skin sags and the jawline slowly disappears into the neck. Poorly defined jawlines are hallmarks of aging so it is no wonder that there are many treatment options today to help restore the sharp V-shaped jawline. Non-invasive lifting neck lifts are actually a thing today, not surprisingly, because they DO work! Fractionated high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatments such as the 24K Chin Up target the infamous double chin without pain nor downtime. This “cold laser” (Sygmalift) treatment reaches 4.5mm beneath the skin to stimulate collagen production, resulting in a skin Continue Reading

Best Skin Smoothers That Will Give You Baby Soft Skin

Megan ThomasLeave a comment

Looking for a treatment that will give you instagram-ready skin? But there are tonnes of possibilities out there, what should you focus on? If the constant emergence of skincare cult brands are any indication, it is the quest for baby soft, smooth and luminous skin that wins the most hearts.   WHAT CAUSES ROUGH AND DULL SKIN? Environmental pollution and sun damage. These sink deep into skin and cause acne, sun spots and premature skin aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Older women undergo hormonal changes to do with menopause, which contributes to a sharp decline in collagen production and overall loss of skin radiance. Cellular renewal also declines and the buildup of dead skin cells changes the skin’s texture and tone, and an overall lack of moisture results in a rough and dull appearance. Some clever changes to your skincare range will help but at a slower and smaller scale compared to skin treatments. Here are some of the best skin smoothening treatments to check out.   BB Continue Reading

Here are some of the latest and hottest FDA-approved lasers for an uplifting transformation. 1. REDNESS AND ROSACEA If your face is prone to blushing and flushing, and has tiny red pimple-like bumps, it might mean you have rosaccea.

PIGMENT AND PORES Laser treatments have been shown to be effective for tough pigments such as melasma, but conventional lasers have higher risk of worsening pigmentation when there is too much heat. Pico Pigment is the latest and hottest picosecond laser that Continue Reading
