Want youthful-looking skin without having to go under the knife? Here are 5 non-surgical beauty treatments to keep on your radar in 2018.

1/5
#1 – Reverse Aging with DNA Treatment
According to Dr. Siew, Rejuran Skin Healer is gaining popularity as an age-reversal medical treatment at the cellular level. Unlike other aesthetic treatments, Rejuran Healer is a filler made of polynucleotides, also known as DNA.

Rejuran Skin Healer is one of the fastest growing non-invasive anti-aging treatment, as there is virtually no downtime. The content of Rejuran filler is harvested from salmon (salmon DNA has traditionally been used by doctors to encourage wound healing in diabetic patients), which is then administered using a micro-needle into the superficial layer of the skin. This lets it deliver its anti-aging benefits deeper into the skin - more than anything you could put on topically.

#2 – Non-surgical Skin Lift
As we age, our skin naturally sags due to gravity and the lack of collagen and elastin fibers to hold the skin firmly. Although a surgical face-lift is still an option to look younger, many people are now opting for a non-surgical skin lifting treatment instead, as it eliminates any potential surgical risks and the long downtime post-surgery.

Using dissolvable threads lined with anchors or cones, which are strategically placed under the skin to compress and lift the saggy skin, the loose skin is thus repositioned and lifted. The treatment, commonly referred to as Silhouette Soft Thread Lift, is a clever and convenient way of providing an immediate visible lift with gradual collagen stimulation to make the face slimmer and skin firmer.

#3 – Achieving a ‘Glass Skin’ Complexion
'Glass skin’ is the latest beauty trend in K-beauty: it refers to a glowing complexion so smooth and flawless that it looks like a pane of glass. According to Dr. Siew, achieving a glowing, almost reflective skin is only possible if there are no facial wrinkles, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and scars. As such, the only way to achieve ‘glass skin’ is to eliminate pigmentation and reduce pore size.

This can be achieved with laser treatment for pigmentation and carbon laser peel treatment. And if your budget allows for it, opt for an in-house proprietary treatment that uses PDRN, botulinum toxin, and dermal filler to provide an intense treatment to reverse signs of aging.

#4 – Plumping and Lifting Saggy Skin (with Radiesse Dermal Filler)
The most common dermal filler used by doctors today is the hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. While HA fillers are great for immediately plumping the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, the effects are mostly skin-deep. They do not promote the regeneration and stimulation of collagen in the skin.

Radiesse dermal filler is a unique, skin-lifting filler made of Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). When injected into deficient areas of the face, CMC behaves similarly to HA by immediately boosting volume to the skin - while also simultaneously stimulating the body’s natural production of collagen. Because of its unique capability, Radiesse Dermal Filler is best handled and administered by the most experienced doctors.
5/5
#5 – Non-surgical Facial Slimming
As adorable as having 'baby fats' on your face can be, it can make you look a lot heavier than you actually are. The truth is, it is almost impossible to reduce the fatty areas on your face simply by going on an intensive diet or exercise routine.

Radiolysis Facial Slimming is a completely safe non-surgical face slimming treatment that uses micro-needles to selectively 'melt' the fats in your face by administering radiofrequency waves into the fatty deposits. When the fatty tissues are broken down, your body will drain them naturally from the circulatory system. And voila - a youthful, slimmer face is now yours.

The search for the fountain of youth has been going on for centuries. After all, as we age, our skin naturally starts to sag and lose its youthful elasticity. However, going under the knife is not the only way to keep your skin looking supple and young.

Non-surgical face lifts and other non-invasive beauty treatments have gaining in popularity in the past few years – partly because they promise better, longer-lasting results, without the need for a long post-recovery period.

We pick the brains of one of the most brilliant aesthetic doctors in Singapore, Dr. Siew Tuck Wah, to tell us more about the top 5 beauty trends and treatments that can improve your complexion and retain its youthful glow better. Curious? Check them out in the gallery above!

Dr. Siew is the Medical Director and co-founder of Radium Medical Aesthetics. Located at Suntec City Mall #03-326, Radium Medical Aesthetics offers a wide range of customized medical treatments to enhance your anti-aging journey.
