What are Injectable Moisturisers
Injectable moisturizers, also known as Hyaluronic Acid (HA) injections, are utilized for skin hydration and rejuvenation. In Singapore, some of the available brands include Restylane Skinboosters, Profhilo, Juvelook, and NCTF 135 “Chanel” HA Skinboosters.
These treatments function by increasing the skin’s Hyaluronic Acid levels, a molecule that maintains skin moisture by binding and retaining water molecules. This process enhances the skin’s hydration at a cellular level, which can lead to improvements in skin quality, including enhanced texture and increased elasticity.
Injectable Moisturizer Options in Singapore
Restylane Skinboosters
Restylane Skinboosters involve a series of micro-injections containing Hyaluronic Acid that are typically administered over 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. The treatment is designed to hydrate the skin, enhancing its elasticity and moisture retention capabilities. The effects can last up to six months, with maintenance sessions done once every 6 to 9 months to maintain the desired results.
Profhilo
Profhilo incorporates two different molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid, totaling 64 mg in each syringe. The use of low and high molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid is intended to provide both hydration and tissue remodeling effects. This dual approach helps to improve skin elasticity and stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Profhilo is injected into 10 to 12 specific points on the face, usually across two to three sessions, spaced four weeks apart. The targeted application is done in a fashion to maximize the spread and absorption of Hyaluronic Acid across areas of the face for skin rejuvenation.
Juvelook Skinbooster
Juvelook uses a combination of Hyaluronic Acid and Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA) to enhance skin hydration and stimulate collagen production, thereby improving skin firmness and reducing the appearance of fine lines. The rejuvenating effects of this treatment are typically noticeable for about six months. To maintain these results, follow-up treatments are recommended.
NCTF 135 HA Skinboosters
NCTF 135 HA ("Chanel" HA Skinboosters) utilizes a multi-injection technique to administer a formula that combines Hyaluronic Acid with over 50 active ingredients including vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and coenzymes. This combination helps to hydrates the skin and promotes cellular turnover for skin rejuvenation and to increase skin elasticity. The effects of this treatment are typically visible for about five to six months.
Injectable Moisturisers Treatment Experience
Initial Consultation
The journey to enhanced skin hydration and rejuvenation begins with a detailed consultation. During this initial meeting, the doctor will thoroughly examine your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals. This step is crucial to determine the most suitable injectable moisturizer treatment tailored to your skin's needs.
Preparation and Procedure
To ensure comfort during the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area. This helps minimize discomfort when the small, fine needles are used to inject the product. The injections are carefully administered to target specific areas, ensuring optimal distribution and effectiveness of the product.
Post-Treatment Care
Following the injections, it is not uncommon to experience minor bumps, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These are normal reactions and typically resolve within a few days. To aid in the recovery process, patients are encouraged to gently massage the affected areas with an intensive recovery cream. This helps to accelerate the healing of swelling and bruising.
