Do you ever just want to freeze time in order to stop the signs of ageing from ever reaching your face? One of the many facelift procedures that offer a solution to keep your face at its youngest is perfectly defined by the word “freeze.” BOTOX actually does this to our face. It is effective in preserving younger looking skin and improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but at the cost of temporarily immobilizing the muscles on your face. This means that even though you feel ecstatic and happy, your face remains stationary. If you ask me, I think the word “frozen” suits the meat that we eat better instead of your face.
But how can you get a facelift procedure that produces effective and immediate results? Is that even possible?
Definitely! Thanks to Dysport Dermalift, your skin ageing concerns can be addressed in no time. This technique is well-loved by celebrities, actors, and other professionals that use their faces as a capital for their daily living. It suits their very busy lifestyle very well and the results are similar to what other non-invasive, non-surgical, invasive, and surgical facelift can do, albeit temporarily.
What is Dysport Dermalift?
Dysport is a brand of botulinum toxin A or BOTOX that is used specifically for the Dermalift procedure. Dermalift is a method of injecting BOTOX only into the skin layer and not into the facial muscles. As a result, the skin tightens and you will see immediate improvements on your fine lines and wrinkles. Because the substance is only injected in the skin’s intradermal layer, the muscles on your face can still move. This facelift procedure makes you look younger without having to look lifeless.
But isn’t BOTOX poisonous?
Botox
In great amounts yes, BOTOX is poisonous. As a matter of fact, 1 gram of this toxin can wipe out a million people on earth. Yikes.
It is a relief that aesthetic and medical studies have found safe ways to use this powerful toxin and bring solutions to address certain human diseases. What makes BOTOX effective in preventing and improving signs of ageing on the face is its ability to impair neurotransmitters from delivering signals to muscles, thereby disabling their capacity contract.
When used for Dermalift, the tiny amounts of BOTOX work to lift the superficial layer of the skin, relax wrinkles and fine lines, and even reduce pore size. The results will give patients a natural and fresh appearance.
Patients can expect to see improvements on the following:
- Crow’s feet
- Droopy eyebrows
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines
- Sagging jowls
- Sunken cheeks
Unfortunately, Dysport Dermalift is not for everyone.
Dysport Dermalift is effective in improving the appearance of mild to moderate signs of ageing. This works well on patients with good muscle tone. However, it will not work its magic on extreme skin sagging and signs of ageing. This procedure is best avoided by individuals who are diagnosed with nerve or muscle diseases or disorders, as well as women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
I am definitely a candidate for Dysport Dermalift! What should I do next?
Research! Look for a doctor that is highly trained and with years of experience in performing Dysport Dermalift procedures. There are only a few doctors who can do this in Singapore, one of the best ones is Dr Israr Wong who is also a regional trainer for Dysport. You will save time and money when you find an aesthetic doctor that is already an expert in this craft. Getting recommendations from family and friends is one way of doing this. You can also read up reviews online. Most celebrities nowadays are open about their facial regimen, so you just might catch their recommendations in any of their social media platforms.
How much is the cost of Dysport Dermalift in Singapore?
The cost of Dysport in Singapore ranges from $700 to $1,200. As compared to other procedures, Dysport Dermalift is comparably cheap.
What should I expect during a Dysport Dermalift procedure?
Expect to get punctured by injections. Not to worry, the discomfort can be minimised by numbing cream applied on the injection points. The procedure is done quickly. You can squeeze it in your lunch break and get right back to your schedule after it is done.
Should I worry about side effects following the procedure?
You may see some bruising, skin discolouration, and swelling on the points where Dysport is injected. This should not hamper your activities as these side effects will subside in a few hours. Bruising may last a bit longer but can be addressed by cold compress application each day until it is completely gone. Some very rare side effects include:
- Allergic reactions
- Droopy eyelids
- Facial asymmetry (usually when smiling)
- Urticaria (hives)
Conclusion
Achieving effective results of a facelift procedure need not compromise the ability of your face to move. You can still enjoy skin that is firmer and smoother with Dysport Dermalift. This procedure is fast, requires no downtime, and provides immediate lifting results.
