PUBLISHED January 7th, 2023 06:00 am | UPDATED January 18th, 2023 09:17 pm
Even though we just toasted to the New Year, Lunar New Year is just around the corner. It’s that time of the year where some people escape with a holiday, some gather for reunion meals, while some others continue carry out their customary visits with families and friends. No matter what you choose to do, it’s time to call on these quick fixes to get your festive glow on.
Get that V-Shape Face
Spurred by Asian beauty standards, the quest for that desirable v-shape face never ceases. Thankfully, this is easily attainable with today’s technology through non-invasive aesthetic procedures like HIFU. Using concentrated ultrasound beams, HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is a 30-minute (or lunch-time) facelifting, brightening, and facial fat-burning procedure. The ultrasound beams reach three levels of the skin, promoting the production of collagen and elastin for the tightening, lifting, and wrinkle-reduction effect. It also melts facial fats along the jawline (or double chin), resulting in a sculpted v-shape face. More than just producing immediate and visible results, this quick fix has zero downtime. With numbing cream, there is minimal to zero pain or discomfort.

Boost Your Radiance
Skip the 10-step daily beauty regime and give your skin a radiant boost with Skin Booster treatments that can be done under an hour. The treatments improve your skin texture and hydration, leaving your skin glowing with luminosity immediately after the session. For those who are squirmish about needles, there are needleless options such as the Needleless Skin Booster Mesotherapy from Estetica Beauty. Using the gas-liquid infiltration technology, a high-pressure injector will infuse skin boosters like hyaluronic acid, brightening booster, or repair booster into your skin. Not only does it saturate and nourish your skin, but it also stimulates collagen production. It replaces traditional injections to give immediate results without pain and downtime. Say hello to dewy skin!

For That Bright and Clear Skin
Whether you have open pores, scars and marks, sunspots, freckles, or Melasma, Pico Laser is a targeted and non-ablative treatment that repairs and reduces marks while brightening your skin. Besides the face, Pico Laser can also be used for skin lightening in areas like the inner thighs and underarms. The laser releases ultra-short picosecond laser pulses with higher energy, causing lesser heat on the skin. With lesser chances of thermal injury, there is minimal to no discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, pico laser technology encourages collagen formation, which lessens the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and enlarged pores.

Sag No More
We know the benefits of hyaluronic acid and its role in keeping our skin plump with hydration when applied to the skin’s surface. When injected, it is touted to “reverse ageing”. Profhilo® is an “injectable skincare” treatment where a certified doctor injects hyaluronic acid into ten areas on the face. Besides giving the skin a massive boost in moisture levels, it also improves skin texture and stimulates collagen and elastin production. As a quick fix, it works like fillers that immediately firm up your face. However, injection areas are limited to the lower parts of the face. Before the procedure, numbing cream is applied to reduce pain and discomfort. With only five injectable points per side of the face, any bumps or redness subsides quickly – almost zero downtime.
