DERMAL FILLERS:
Our face depicts our age. As you approach your late 20s, your collagen levels have already begun to decline and your skin has been constantly subjected to the environment and physiological stresses. This leads to a loss of skin firmness, volume within the face, and wrinkles start making its inevitable mark. Now, with newer technologies and dermal filler materials, this beautifying procedure has turned out to be a popular cosmetic fix in the beauty scene. From reversing the effects of time to shaping and facial contouring, this non-invasive procedure also features a synergistic combination of dermal Hyaluronic acid fillers to restore your skin to radiant, glowing health.
WHY CHOOSE US:
At La Clinic, we believe that the essentials for an optimal outcome is to have an arsenal of high quality fillers ready at your disposal. Our high quality HSA approved dermal fillers will augment your cell turnover whilst stimulating collagen production from within, keeping your skin firm and complementing your natural looks. Our filler treatments enhance your facial shape in a naturalistic manner and the results are almost immediate. Fillers have become a popular choice as they also offer less risk as compared to surgical alternatives.
RECOMMENDED FILLERS:
Packed with powerhouse ingredients, our fillers deliver a high potency for redefining and improving your facial features. We carry a variety of brands: Juvederm, Restylane, Revanesse and Teosyal. These injectable treatments can be used as dermal fillers and skinboosters — improving elasticity and hydration, and reducing the appearance of fine lines across your key facial areas.
The recommended treatments, Restylane and Juvederm fillers, offered are derivatives of hyaluronic acid, and its formula makes it ideal for delivering an excellent volumising effect, natural feel and look. Made of smooth gel material, the collagen that is stimulated from the treatment will support facial structures and tissues that may have lost volume or elasticity.
COMMONLY TREATED AREAS:
The most commonly treated areas: nasolabial, marionette, chin, cheeks, temple, forehead, lips, jawline. The correction and/or improvement on the treated area is long-lasting but not permanent. Fillers aid in replacing lost collagen for areas such as forehead frowns, cheekbones, augmentation of chin and replenishing the hollow spaces. It is also proven to successfully add volume and fullness in the nose bridge and the lips. The results may last up to one year and produces natural, sustained effects before gradually wearing off. Subsequently, repeat sessions can be arranged every 6 to 12 months.
TREATMENT FLOW:
The doctor will have a consultation with you to examine the best way to help you attain your desired results and choose the most suitable filler for your skin type. Next, our doctor will point out strategic points on your face as guides for the allocated injection sites for the filler. Depending on the face region being treated, numbing cream or a small injection may be applied to anaesthetise the area. The process of using dermal fillers requires injections using a fine needle. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and patients will be conscious during the procedure. There may be slight irritation experienced, however, this discomfort is minimal and well tolerated
RESULTS:
Fillers are a simple, non-surgical cosmetic procedure, there is minimal recovery or downtime. After the injection has been administered, patients can return to their normal everyday activities. Some redness or swelling may occur but this will recede quickly. Occasionally, light bruising may occur, but resolves in a few days. At this point, do avoid administering pressure to the treated areas when applying daily makeup, as they may result in the shifting of the filler.
OUR PROMISE:
Injected meticulously and precisely into the skin, the procedure can be tailored to give you the treatment goals you desire. As everyone’s skin is uniquely beautiful in its individuality, we are not advocates of a cookie-cutter approach. Our doctors pay attention to individual differences and uniqueness. They will perform facial analysis to recommend the most appropriate type of filler and curate the treatment around you, all while conducted safely with excellence.
As with any cosmetic procedure, results vary from patient to patient. Your skincare concerns can be addressed effectively and efficiently during a consultation. Discover and discuss your aesthetic goals with one of the La Clinic team today.
HOW DOES BOTULINUM NEUROTOXIN WORK:
Filed under “frustrating beauty topics” is the issue of ageing skin and wrinkles. It’s not just about collagen deficiency, hormone reduction, or skin exposure damage caused by free radicals. With repeated facial muscle contractions when you frown and even when you smile, it provokes your skin to crease and fold. Those wrinkles can remain even after the muscles are at rest. With botulinum neurotoxin, this minimally invasive treatment aids to smooth over strained facial muscles that have lead your facial complexion to age faster.
Here at La Clinic, our botulinum neurotoxin treatments are commonly used to reduce wrinkles and furrows on the skin but it is also equally effective as a pore reduction treatment. Botulinum neurotoxin works by putting a barrier between the nerve impulses and injected muscles. This minimises muscle activity that causes those persistent lines to form on your face. It is a non-invasive procedure that cosmetically paralyses muscles. Essentially, the botulinum neurotoxin injection acts as a tissue catalyst to temporarily “remodel the skin” without the dangers of a frozen face.
WHO IS AN APPROPRIATE CANDIDATE FOR THIS TREATMENT:
Our botulinum neurotoxin treatments are suitable for individuals who are dealing with sagging skin, pronounced wrinkles, or wish to play down or enhance their strong features. A popular treatment is jaw slimming, whereby botulinum neurotoxin is used to slim down pronounced jaw muscles to give a V-Shape face. The procedure is convenient for all skin types and is best recommended for those who are trying to combat the signs of ageing efficiently but do not want to undergo surgical methods. In fact, botox injections can serves well as a preventive measure.
We do not recommend those with muscle or nerve conditions, severe illness, or allergic reactions to undergo this treatment without proper consultation from a medical professional.
COMMONLY TREATED AREAS:
If you wish to enhance or reconstruct facial contours or reduce the appearance of pores, injection therapy with botulinum neurotoxin may be right for you.
Jaw reduction and slimming: This procedure works by loosening up the lower jaw muscles with botox. Once relaxed, the muscles start losing a percentage of its bulk. The muscle atrophy occurs over several weeks to achieve a more defined, feminine face.
Oil control and pore reduction: With botulinum neurotoxin, it halts oil production and constricts pores by curbing the signals to the oil glands. When the skin is tightened, it also results in smaller pores.
Wrinkles: botulinum neurotoxin softens the muscles and prevents milder contractions at defining areas. E.g. frown lines, smile lines, corners of the eyes, etc.
HOW IS THE PROCEDURE PERFORMED:
Unlike a surgical facelift, botox does not require a general anaesthetic or a prolonged recovery period. There is minimal downtime involved in the process. The doctor will assess your aesthetic goals and provide an effective course of action. During the procedure, a numbing cream may be applied and botox is then injected using a very fine needle. This relaxes the muscle over time leading to desired constructed effect. There is a little discomfort, if any, involved in our treatments. Many patients are deemed fit to resume their daily activities after the procedure. Additionally, the number of injections needed varies based on the severity of your facial lines and your aesthetic goals.
WHAT RESULTS TO EXPECT:
At La Clinic, we have carried out extensive research into the treatments we offer. We understand that a one size fits all approach to cosmetic treatment is unworkable and unrealistic, which is why we tailor our treatment alternative to each patient to deliver ideal results. Improvements from botulinum neurotoxin treatments may start to appear a few days post-treatment and typically reaches optimum outcomes within 2 weeks. The results of our treatment include tighter skin, improved texture and renewed facial contours. The procedure leaves you with a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST:
While the duration of the treatment depends entirely on the patient’s reaction, a single treatment of botulinum neurotoxin is typically sustained for 3-4 months. There will be a gradual fading of its effects after this stipulated time period.
WHY CHOOSE US:
At La Clinic, our mission is to successfully combine a high-quality aesthetic standard with a deluxe level of professional care to give you satisfying results and a delightful experience. We look forward to having you to discuss our botulinum neurotoxin options as we continue to bring our clients natural and effective aesthetic treatments here at La Clinic.

WHAT CAUSES ACNE AND ACNE SCARS:
Acne is one of the most prevailing and persistent skin conditions. When left untreated or subjected to improper care, the skin fosters scars that are difficult to treat in the long run. One of the most prominent types resides in the cystic variety, which can be contributed by hormonal cycles — and can be harder to deal with compared to your average blemishes. When pores get clogged with oil and dirt, they can get congested and inflamed. And when treated poorly or left untreated, severe acne may lead to scarring or darkened marks on the skin surface.
At La Clinic, our acne treatments can help you achieve skin revitalisation while rebuilding your skin barrier. Improvements will accelerate after each additional session.
