HST

Gone are the days of dramatic makeovers and “frozen faces.” Today’s approach to aesthetic treatments is all about subtle enhancements that celebrate your natural beauty.

HST

Did you know that you can get a combination of various aesthetic treatments in one session? Before your consultation with your doctor at the aesthetics clinic, you most likely would have done your research and have an idea of which treatment you would like to get.

While many aesthetic procedures today are effective enough when performed on their own, the use of several treatments can help you achieve sustainable and natural-looking results! Here are some benefits you can expect from combining various treatments: • Address various skin concerns at once • Achieve elevated results and maximum benefits • Target the (root) causes of certain aesthetic concerns • Achieve beauty goals faster with lasting improvement Here are two examples of treatment Continue Reading

4 ways to minimize the appearance of large pores

HST

                        3 reasons why you may have larger pores: 1. Genetics The size of your pores may be genetic. Hence, if your parents have large pores, you are most likely to have large pores as well.   2. Not Protecting Your Skin From UV Exposure When you do not apply sunscreen regularly, you are exposing your skin to the Sun’s Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV breaks down collagen and elastin, which are the building blocks of your skin. This causes your skin to lose its firmness and sag, resulting in the appearance of larger pores.   3. Hormones, Oily Skin and Clogged Pores During and sometimes after puberty, hormones may cause sebaceous glands to produce more oil. An overproduction of oil can result in clogged pores and acne, which makes pores appear larger.   How to reduce the appearance of large pores?   1. Build a Good Skin Care Regimen Not all skincare products will work for everyone. However, it Continue Reading
