Despite technological advances in the cosmetics industry, looking cameraready – or at least groomed – remains time-consuming and challenging, especially as you get older. Stress, environmental factors such as pollution, and our lifestyle habits like stress, lack of sleep, and inconsistent use of skincare make things even harder.

For Insta-ready skin round the clock, these three advanced aesthetic treatments by Astute Medical Aesthetics & Laser Clinic are said to do the trick.

Look Naturally More Youthful

Do you look dull and tired in pictures, no matter how much you smile? The Rejuran Healer treatment from South Korea aims to help you look refreshed at all times. It purportedly accelerates the skin’s healing process by improving protein synthesis, collagen production, and microcirculation. It also helps to reinforce the skin’s protective barrier, improve moisture levels, and reduce excess sebum production.

“While you may not see instant results, this can reduce the look of dark circles, and make skin appear plumper and more radiant over three to four weeks from the first injection. The complete transformation takes four injections that are three to four weeks apart,” says Dr Reddy.

Lift and Tighten

To enhance skin elasticity and volume, the Ulht Hifu Skin Lifting treatment uses advanced ultrasound technology to tone and tighten loose skin without damaging the surrounding areas.

This non-invasive treatment promises to improve collagen production and skin regeneration so that your facial contours look more lifted, while wrinkles and rough skin appear less obvious. Over three to six months, your skin should continue to firm up. The treatment takes around an hour, and results are said to last more than a year.

A Facelift Without Surgery

Perhaps you’ve caught yourself resting your hands against your jawline to hide the sagging skin there. Not only that, you’ve noticed the “baby fat” in your cheeks starting to break down, so the skin over your cheeks sags too.

Silhouette Soft Threadlift is a minimally invasive procedure in which ultra-fine threads are inserted under the skin to subtly lift the jawline, cheeks, eyebrows or neck. The threads have special cones that act as anchors to keep them in place beneath the skin. This treatment is also said to stimulate collagen production to replenish facial volume. It can be done under local anaesthetic in less than an hour. As only needles and thread are used, the risk of scarring is minimal, and the threads get absorbed into your skin in eight to 16 months. Dr Reddy adds that you will be able to see the lifting effects almost instantly, and your skin texture and firmness should improve over three to four months, with results lasting more than a year.
