Skin is an organ like no other. It can be seen and touched; it is instantly visible on ourselves and others. And in addition to dictating much of our outward appearance which has a vast social significance, our skin allows us our sense of touch and serves as armour protecting us from hostile environments and microbes. Just as skin serves multiple functions, conditions impacting our skin can have an impact even to our self-esteem.

People who have skin conditions may experience feelings of isolation due to how the appearance of their skin is perceived, hence the need to consult an aesthetic clinic in Singapore. Here are different dermatology processes that one could reverse your unwanted skin conditions.

Botox

Throughout our lives, we contract and relax the muscles of our face thousands of times a day as we smile, laugh and frown. These normal muscle movements create facial lines and wrinkles over time. The result can be a facial appearance that is less youthful than we would like.

Chemical Peels

Changes in skin texture and appearance can occur from a number of factors including over-exposure to sunlight, the normal ageing process and even skin conditions such as acne or rosacea. Common skin changes such as brown spots and roughness are due to abnormalities in the upper layers of the skin.

A chemical peel is the application of a chemical solution to the skin that removes portions of the damaged upper layers. Healthy underlying skin reveals a more youthful and natural skin tone and texture. Chemical peels can soften roughness and reduce the appearance of brown discolouration, sun damage, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles.

Cosmetic Fillers

Facial volume decreases as we age, leading to excess skin. This skin becomes loose, creating deep lines, folds and wrinkles. Facial volume can be restored by dermal fillers in Singapore. These naturally occurring substances are injected into the skin to increase tissue volume and give the face a more youthful, natural appearance. Fillers can also be injected into depressed scars to soften their appearance. Treatments typically last from three to 10 months.

Microdermabrasion

Skin roughness, textural changes and discolourations of the top layer of the skin occur during the normal ageing process. Microdermabrasion is like an acne scar removal in Singapore which can be used to reduce the appearances of these age-related changes, as well as sun damage, discolouration, superficial scarring, acne and other skin conditions.

Microdermabrasion uses small crystals to gently exfoliate the first, superficial layer of the skin. The result is smoother, clearer skin and healthier, more youthful appearance.

Laser Hair Reduction

Unwanted hair on the face, neck, back, underarms, bikini area or legs may cause embarrassment and even irritating and painful bumps. Laser hair can permanently eliminate unwanted facial or body hair and decrease the need to shave, tweeze or use chemicals on targeted areas.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Changes in skin texture and appearance can occur from a number of factors including over-exposure to sunlight, the normal ageing process and even skin conditions such as acne or rosacea. Common skin changes such as brown spots and roughness are due to abnormalities in the upper layers of the skin.

Skin can be resurfaced, reducing the appearance of texture and appearance changes, with a specific laser that gently removes or peels the top layers of the skin. Healthy skin replaces the damaged layers, reducing the appearance of scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles and revealing the skin’s more youthful and natural tone and texture.

Fractional Laser Treatment

Fractional laser treatment produces a laser beam that is divided into thousands of light columns that target a fraction of the skin at a time. This specialized laser technology improves skin tone and texture and reduces the appearance of discolouration, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles. While traditional lasers use a single beam of light to treat the entire surface of the affected area, fractional laser treatment results in a gradual improvement as each specific area is targeted. This procedure can safely treat a variety of skin types with minimal down-time and side effects over a series of three to six treatments.

Laser Vein Treatments

Small visible veins can occur on any area of the body, particularly on the face and legs. Lasers heat and target the blood vessels causing them to shrink and become less visible. Specific lasers can target veins of a variety of depths and sizes. Noticeable improvement can be seen after one to a few laser treatments.

Why should these processes be normalised?

Allowing patients with skin disorders to resume healthy, productive, and confident lives begin with allowing them to access necessary care and proper medications to treat their conditions. Selection of these treatments should be a shared decision between the patient and his or her physician, one cannot simply decide that she would get a nose thread lift in Singapore without her physician's approval.

Proper dermatological care stands to improve patients’ health, productivity and quality of life. But those improvements are predicated on access to the specialists who can guide their treatment and the innovative medicines that can change their lives.
