Reduce your smile lines

Image
  Nasolabial folds are the smile lines that usually form from the nose to the corner of the mouth area. As time goes by, the folds tend to get more prominent and deepen even more. This aging process leads to the noticeable nasolabial folds that are hard to hide. If you are willing to correct and eliminate this cosmetic issue, you can get a rejuvenating injection that significantly reduces the appearance of the nasolabial folds. Dermal fillers are gel-based injections that are placed under your skin. Fillers have a unique ability to plump the skin up, fill in the areas of skin depression and remove wrinkles. If the wrinkles have just started to develop, dermal fillers can successfully remove most of them. However, if the wrinkles are moderate to deep, the fillers won’t necessarily remove the folds completely, but make them look less pronounced. Undoubtedly, one of the most commonly used fillers that are trustworthy is HA-based dermal fillers. Hyaluronic Acid attracts water makes ski...

Are fine lines around the eye corners removed after lower eyelid surgery?

Image
    Lower blepharoplasty, also called lower eyelid surgery is a type of surgery to improve the saggy lower eyelids and the under-eye area. However, does the lower blepharoplasty help improve fine lines around the eyes as well? Lower blepharoplasty may not be an effective option to improve wrinkles around the corners of the eye. It is common to call wrinkles or fine lines around the eye corners crow's feet.     Well, lower eyelid surgery is best to improve deep wrinkles under the eye area. The surgeon makes a long incision inside the lower eyelid and removes excess skin and fat tissues.     If you would like to improve wrinkles or fine lines around the corner of the eyes, then you can opt for Botox or filler injections. If the wrinkles are superficial, then it is better to get a Botox injection. However, if the wrinkles are thicker and deeper, filler injections will help improve those wrinkles and fine lines.

Fat grafting to fill in facial wrinkles

Image
  When we are young, our facial contours look beautiful. With the skin aging, our skin develops some fine and deep wrinkles. In addition, we start to lose the youthful plumpness of our cheeks, forehead, chin, and nasolabial fold areas.  These areas get more hollow and lack fullness. You may wonder if it is possible to restore the lost facial volume. In this article, I will introduce a facial fat transfer method that can make you look more youthful. How is the operation performed? Facial fat transfer is the operation that takes the excess fat and transfers it into the facial areas that lack the volume. The fat is usually harvested from the stomach and thigh areas. Then the fat is purified and combined with PRP. The fat is then injected into the facial wrinkles and hollow areas. The patient’s fat serves as a natural filler that has its stem cells. It is perfectly compatible with the body and doesn’t cause allergies. The patient’s fat also provides a better rejuvenation to the fa...

Why should I get laser toning regularly?

Image
  The best way to reap the benefits of laser toning is to repeat the procedure several times with an appropriate interval. Generally, the doctor recommends ten sessions of laser toning with a one-week interval.     It is crucial to keep the level of the strength of the laser low. Otherwise, high laser intensity can damage or destroy the protective barrier of the skin.     As a result, it leads to disappointment, let alone any improvement. Therefore, regular sessions, and the right interval time and suitable intensity can contribute to the removal of skin pigmentation and freckles.   Can I stop laser toning after ten sessions? To be honest, the efficacy of any laser treatment is not eternal. After ten sessions of laser toning, you can repeat the procedure once a month to maintain the effect.     What is more important, you must pay close attention to your skincare routine and make sure that you moisturize your skin regularly and apply sunblock ever...

IPL Photofacial for pigments and freckles

Image
  The cumulative effects of sun exposure and time over the years may have left dark spots, pigments, and freckles on your face. Undoubtedly, most of the spots are harmless but they may bring aesthetic problems to your skin.  Aren’t sure which treatment to get? Today we will tell you more about a perfect solution to get rid of facial pigmentation. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) is a photo facial therapy that operates using a pulsed light system. In comparison to other lasers, IPL works using light and radiofrequency energy to treat skin concerns. The energy is absorbed by the pigments and spots and removes the melanin cells. This process renews the skin without damaging the skin surface. Moreover, the treatment rejuvenates the skin by removing wrinkles and improving skin laxity. Generally, the patients are required to get 3-5 treatments spaced at 3 weeks intervals. However, the number of sessions may increase if the skin conditions are more complex. It is a must to apply sunscreen ...

What are the side effects of laser toning?

Image
  We continue our posts about laser treatments. Most of the questions we are currently receiving recently are related to laser procedures. That is why I decided to give some more details regarding this topic. In today’s post, I am going to cover the side effects of laser toning.     Most people think that laser toning dries out the skin and damages it after the procedure. Is that true?     As we mentioned in our previous post, laser toning is used to remove pigmentation, freckles, or blemishes located deep in the skin. This laser removes only the pigmentation by minimizing the potential damage.     The most important to know about laser toning is the degree or strength level. When applied with a way too much strength level, one can notice the following adverse effects.   They are pigmentation or bleaching. Pigmentation gets even darker, and the procedure site (face or other parts of the body) can turn white.     Therefore, we recommend h...

How to correct the inner corners of the eyes?

Image
  There is a range of eyelid surgeries that are popular among patients of Asian descent. One of the most prominent and widely known is Double eyelid surgery. However, some patients need an additional operation to make their eyes wider. One of the popular surgery that can be performed together with Double eyelid Surgery is a Medial Epicanthoplasty. This type of surgery significantly lengthens the inner corner of the eyes making them wider and bigger.  The doctor will decide whether you are suitable for this kind of operation. Mostly, it depends on the severity of your epicanthal fold. If your eyes are positioned too close to each other, this method may not be appropriate for you.  Though the operation is relatively simple, it should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon with a wide range of experience to achieve the best results.  Medial Epicanthoplasty is also known as a Mongolian fold surgery.

Can I have laser treatment in the summer?

Image
  Many of you may have already heard about laser toning treatment. This laser is to correct and improve freckles and blemishes. However, customers ask one question over and over again. It says: “Is it allowed to have laser toning in summer?”     The reason why they continue asking these questions is because of strong ultraviolet rays (UV) light. People are concerned that sunlight can cause more harm than good by worsening pigmentation.   Here is the thing. UV rays are present not only in summer but also during the four seasons. Therefore, regardless of when you have your laser toning treatment, protection against UV rays is required.     Eventually, whether you have laser treatment in summer or during other seasons, you should always protect the skin from UV by applying SPF regularly.     In conclusion, what matters most is not the season when you have a laser toning, but how often and how much effort you put in to protect your skin from UV during...

Non-surgical lifting and defined jawline

  Doublo Gold is a lifting laser applied to the dermal layer and SMAS of the skin. It does not affect the Botox injection when done together.     Doublo Gold laser heats the underlying skin layers, and for the following 3~6 months, the effect reaches its peak and lasts one year at most.     Depending on how much the skin is saggy, the result may differ; however, you can feel the skin tightening and lifting effect immediately after the procedure. When performing Doublo Gold lifting laser in conjunction with the Square jaw Botox injection, you will achieve elastic skin and a much more defined and slimmer jawline.     It is the synergy effect coming from the combination of two treatments.     To maintain the maximum result, you must repeat the Doublo Gold laser every six months and the Square Jaw Botox 3 procedures every 3~4 months.

It addresses such common skin problems as acne scarring, enlarged pores, post-acne pigmentation, uneven skin tone.

How important is exercise after liposuction?

Image
  To define, liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess and stubborn fat from a particular part of the body with suction. There are several different posts I uploaded previously regarding liposuction. If you would like to know more about this type of surgery, you can search on our homepage or blog. In today’s post, I would like to discuss post-liposuction care that is the importance of exercise. If you are planning to undergo liposuction, it is necessary to bear in mind that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure. Moreover, the result does not last forever. What it does is remove a particular amount of fat from a specific part of the body. Just because the doctor removes the fat does not mean that the fat will not accumulate anymore. Regardless of the amount of fat removed, fat can return, even in large amounts, when you do not follow post-surgery instructions and take care of the result. How to take care after liposuction? There are two ways for that: diet and exe...

Lower eyelid surgery + fat repositioning

Image
  Lower blepharoplasty, also called lower lid/ eyelid surgery is to remove excess skin, muscles, or fat tissues in the under-eye area. It is one of the most effective cosmetic procedures to improve the eye bags and wrinkles under the eye.     Why is fat repositioning necessary to be done with lower eyelid surgery? If the lower eyelid surgery addresses the under-eye wrinkles, excess skin, or fat tissues, fat redistributing involves distributing excess fat tissues in one area into the hollow under-eye areas.     That way, the doctor can remove eye bags and wrinkles and fill deep hollow under the eyes, such as tear trough. When fat is redistributed, it will work as a filler injection. Unlike fillers, your fat does not dissolve when time passes. Fat repositioning is a delicate procedure with excellent results. Also, it will help you look far younger and fresher.   Before the surgery, during the consultation, a plastic surgeon will examine your lower eyelids and...
