NAHYCO Skin booster (逆時針) is a patented technology of a bio-remodelling injectable. It is the first “injectable skincare” that addresses skin laxity and signs of aging through the bio-stimulation of collagen, elastin and adipocytes (fats) stem cells that are lost through skin aging, promoting skin rejuvenation, hydration and collagen stimulation.
With one of the highest concentrations of HA in the market (64mg / 2ml) it boosts skin hydration levels, giving skin the much sought after “Korean glass skin” appearance.
This is made possible with NAHYCO® Technology that combines both a high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and a low molecular weight HA, binded together through thermal cross-linking processes to form Hybrid Cooperative Complex Hyaluronic (HCC) Acid.
Low molecular weight HA (L-HA) – Hydrates the skin and offering a hydro effect
High molecular weight (H-HA) – provides a stable HA structure that results in a lifting effect
Slow release effect of this complex of HA – Stimulates the production of 4 types of collagen (types I, III, IV and VII), elastin, and adipocytes (fat) stem cells, stimulating essential proteins, thus improving hydration and skin laxity, as well as the skin’s overall integrity.
The result is bio remodelling of the skin for firmer, younger looking skin.
Additional benefits of having HCC Acid include:
NAHYCO Skinboosters uses 5 bio aesthetic points as the injection points on per side of the face, which are situated far from the major nerves and blood vessels, hence allowing for maximum diffusion of the hybrid HA complex, while minimising the risk of bruising and complications.
Anyone who is looking to improve skin hydration and correct mild signs of aging, such as fine lines and sagging without changing their appearance too much
Dermalift is a special injection technique that provides a natural face lifting effect, without affecting the movement of facial muscles. Also known as Microbotox, this technique administers small amount of Botox into the skin surface to stimulate collagen production.
The main difference lies in the injection techniques. Dermalift is administered in the intra dermal layers while normal Botox is administered in the muscle layer. While normal Botox aims to shrink and paralyze the muscle and/or to cause a reduction in size (such as in jaw reduction Botox procedures), Dermalift procedures are injected into the skin surface to promote a smoothing effect instead.
This means that Dermalift will give results that do not affect facial expressions since the facial muscles remained untouched.
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is a regenerative face treatment for lifting and maintenance.
HIFU uses safe, effective and precisely directed ultrasound waves, to heat and stimulate collagen production of the underlying superficial and deep skin layers, as well as the Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS).
HIFU is currently the only non-invasive medical device that allows the deepest penetration of energy, targeting depths of 1.5mm, 3mm and 4.5mm, for skin lifting and tightening.
The treatment causes collagen fibres to thicken and shorten, giving you a long-term tightening and lifting effect.
At 1.5mm – Superficial Dermis Layer:
Focusing HIFU energy at this depth targets melanin in the skin and reduces pigmentation, resulting in brighter and more even skin tone.
At 3.0mm – Deep Dermis Layer:
Focusing HIFU energy at this depth targets skin tightening. The energy stimulates structural collagen production hence resulting in a tightening effect, improving fine lines and wrinkles.
At 4.5mm – Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System (SMAS):
The SMAS layer is where plastic surgeons target during a traditional surgical facelift procedure, which means that stimulation and tightening of the SMAS layer results in a lifting effect of the treatment area.
Dermal fillers are soft tissue fillers that are injected into the skin. They are gel like textured and the most commonly used fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid (HA).
As we age, our skin loses its collagen and hyaluronic acid, leading to a loss of skin firmness, elasticity and volume of the face. This results in sagging skin, formation of wrinkles and deep skin folds.
Dermal fillers can be classified into two groups depending on their comprising components such as hyaluronic acid or collagen stimulators
HA fillers – Typically used to sculpt the face, erase the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and to increase the hydration level in the skin. These are the most commonly used dermal fillers in Singapore.
Collagen Stimulating Fillers – Fillers containing Calcium Hydroxyapatite or poly L-lactic acid induce collagen formation in the skin and enhances the formation of the scaffold that supports the structure of the face and replaces volume loss.
Our doctors at La Clinic would be able to do a facial assessment and decide which types of dermal fillers would be best suited to address each patient’s specific concerns.
Dermal fillers are used to add volume and definition to the face and fill in folds in the skin such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Botulinum Neurotoxin is used to relax the facial muscles of expression and smoothen out wrinkles.
Though they have different properties, both dermal fillers and botulinum neurotoxin can be combined in the treatments to give the patient their desired result.
Popular areas include (but not limited to)
Also known as botulinum toxin type A, it works by blocking the signal from the nerve to the injected muscles so it can no longer contract (tighten) as forcefully. This in turn causes wrinkles to relax and soften.
As people age, their skin gets thinner, drier, and loses elasticity. This leads to wrinkles, creases, and fine lines on the skin. Facial expressions such as frowning and smiling also contribute in wrinkle formation.
Botulinum neurotoxin works as a muscle relaxant which makes it effective at improving such expression lines (both static and dynamic).
When injected strategically, botulinum neurotoxin can be used to provide lifting and smoothing effects where required.
