My Reading Room

Choosing the right skincare is vital if  you want a clear and radiant complexion. While off-the-shelf  products can help with problems such as dullness, pigmentation and fine lines, they may not always work well enough, especially if  they only tackle the outer layers of  the skin. 

For better results, consider facial treatments that can deliver ingredients into the deeper layers of  the skin. One such treatment is Astique The Aesthetic Clinic’s DermaShine Skin Booster ($535 for a single dose; $856 for a double dose), which promises to leave you with a glowing, smoother and healthier-looking complexion. 

See the difference 

The DermaShine Skin Booster, said to be a favourite of  Hollywood and South Korean celebrities, involves micro-injections of  good-for-skin ingredients directly into the skin for faster and longer-lasting results compared to those of  a facial serum or cream.  

New to micro-injections? No worries; they are customised to individuals, and the placement and depth of  application are measured precisely by a machine. The marks are also subtle and are expected to fade on the third day after the procedure. 

A dose of goodness 

Among the many potent ingredients used in a DermaShine session are hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. The former provides intense hydration and is said to boost collagen production, while the latter, an antioxidant, helps to minimise the appearance of  spots and blemishes, shields skin from the sun and soothes inflammation. Both can also help reduce the look of  signs of  ageing for tauter, more youthful-looking skin. 

There’s also botox, which is suitable for oily and acne-prone skin as it helps to control sebum and sweat, as well as reduce the look of  enlarged pores. 

A customised combination of  ingredients will be used to address your skin’s unique needs.
