A recent American survey<\/span><\/a>1 reported that millennials aged 25-35 are more worried about ageing than their mothers and grandmothers, with the average individual starting an anti-ageing regime as early as 26 years old<\/b>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same sentiment applies for those in Singapore. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The earlier need to stave off signs of ageing is thought to be attributed to how millennials place utmost importance on looking good \u2013 social media and pop culture now demands everyday individuals to look good from all angles. And while this information isn\u2019t groundbreaking per se, it shows us that our approach to ageing, as with body image, has changed drastically from one generation to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But are you tackling ageing correctly, or worse, wasting money? In this article, we\u2019ll address the common mistakes that both young and mature clients make when it comes to anti ageing treatments, and talk about the solutions available in Singapore today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Botox, fillers, threadlifts: How you\u2019re getting anti ageing wrong<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, almost every aesthetic treatment can be considered an anti-ageing treatment, as the overall goal of such treatments is mostly to look better and younger. And while a naturally lifted face or enhanced jawline \u2014think botox, threadlifts, HIFU\u2014 might contribute to a more youthful look, congruent treatments must be done to improve skin from within<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As aged skin is often a result of poor skin quality and loss of collagen due to factors such as age, smoking, and lifestyles, anti ageing treatments often begin with inducing collagen production and maintaining that<\/b>. One cannot simply threadlift their way to revitalised youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dare I also say by starting on collagen biostimulation treatments early, you can prevent the need for treatments like botox and fillers in future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What treatments should I choose to reverse ageing? <\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many individuals tend to opt for skinboosters or HA fillers first, as one of the most obvious signs of youthful skin is glowy, hydrated complexion. But let\u2019s not forget beyond a pristine facade, volume and elasticity also play a huge role in a youthful visage. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When someone looks older than they wish to due to volume depletion, I nudge them toward collagen biostimulators instead. This is because HA fillers can add volume to certain parts of the face only to a certain point; adding more might result in overfilling. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collagen biostimulators achieve their anti-ageing goals by directly regenerating collagen in your skin and imparting more substance and shape. For example, Ellans\u00e9 works to quickly replace lost volume, whilst more robust fillers like Sculptra gradually add fullness to gaunt areas of one\u2019s face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both are great, but allow me to introduce two new innovative biostimulator treatments, Nucleofill <\/b>and Gouri<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nucleofill and Gouri: The future of anti-ageing treatments?
<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nucleofill <\/b><\/a><\/span>was formulated in Italy, whilst Gouri was created by a Korean company that specialises in biopolymer (natural polymers produced by our cells) technology. Both treatments are aimed at improving collagen production in the skin, and are low risk and suitable for all skin types<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nucleofill<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As the newest technology in biostimulation, Nucleofill is a polynucleotide-based injectable gel specifically designed for natural face shaping and remodelling. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
