Sagging Skin and Laxity Treatment Singapore

As the skin ages, collagen and elastin levels are reduced, leading to a loss of natural skin elasticity. 

The skin is less able to “spring back” to its original form when subjected to downward forces such as gravity.

On top of that, bony resorption, as well as loss of fat pads, lead to less support for the overlying skin (imagine bony structure and fat pads as the foundation, propping up and supporting skin).

Coupled with external factors such as smoking, sun exposure, pollution and dehydration, the appearance of loose sagging skin is accelerated.

Dr Edwin recommends High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) as the first step in treating aging, sagging skin. It uses precise medical-grade ultrasound for non-surgical face lifting and skin tightening.

The Ultraformer III HIFU is a 3rd generation HIFU machine offering higher power, lesser discomfort, increased safety and clinically proven results.

Heat is generated at that specific level, starting a thermal coagulation process which stimulates existing collagen fibres to thicken and shorten producing a tightening and lifting effect of the skin. 

Thermal energy also triggers collagen stimulation, leading to tighter skin, improved fine lines and smoother skin texture.

To further boost collagen levels in the skin, Dr Edwin is a firm believer in Rejuran. Rejuran is made of Polynucleotides (PN), derived from salmon DNA.

PN are DNA fragments that repair damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production by increasing proliferation of fibroblasts. Studies have shown that PN extracted from salmon DNA is very safe and compatible with human skin.

It is injected in a similar fashion to Skinboosters, with a series of precise micro injections into the skin.
