Today I've decided to write on something less serious and more entertaining. Having a lot of friends, family and meeting a lot of people, you tend to come across many personalities that sometimes does not appeal to your own positive self. There are just some people who are forever negative, and regardless of how you try to lighten things up, they seem to be able to dampen your spirits.
Funnily, medical aesthetics does have a lot to do with psychology and maybe a bit of psychiatry. Apparently 60% of the world population are concerned on how they look and what other people perceive onto them. Especially since nowadays, looks play a very importance role in career and confidence. Which is why the cosmetic and beauty industry is one of the most fast growing industries in the world with a 16% increase revenue per annum despite recession.
So, what can you suggest to your loved ones to make your life happier:
1. Glabella BTA
In simpler tense, botox / dysport into your muscles that makes the nice 11 on your forehead (frown lines). This is extremely good for those depressing, whining, or stressed out relatives and friends who makes your sunny days go cloudy with their negativity. Apparently, studies have shown that people who are depressed / upset feel less upset when we freeze their glabellar muscles due to lack of frowning feedback from the forehead to the brain - hence the brain registers it as less stressed/depressed/upset thus equates to being happier. Its a simple 5 minute procedure which will cost roughly RM 600 / session (some cheaper services uses BTA from China/Korea) and will last the person between 3-6 months. It may be temporary but at least they stop complaining much for this period of time. How about that for price of peace?
2. Marrionette lines
Have you ever seen a puppet or a marrionette? Puppet shows were made popular in the UK before the invention of television. They would cut out a stage and create puppets or marrionettes on strings and move them around telling a story. One of the most popular puppet shows till today is the comedy Punch and Judy. Marrionette lines refer to lines extending from the edge of the lip to the border of the jaw, just like a puppet. Some people have these lines even when they are not frowning and it makes them look sad all the time. Depending on the severity of the line, it can be fixed with just using BTA to the Depressor Anguli Oris muscles to reduce the pull (only 2 injections at each side ~ RM 200/procedure) or in combination with hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers for a more complete fix. The good thing with fillers is that it lasts between 9-12 months or even longer, so your frowning buddy would look happier for at least a year. Although it may wrack up your wallet a bit (filler prices start as low as RM 1K - 2K for HA). This procedure only takes 15 minutes or less, so you can even drag your friend in during lunch time.
3. Lethargic looking and no luster skin.
Its one of those people who look tired all the time, no matter how much caffeine you pump into their body. Not to worry, perhaps all they need is a chemical peel to get rid of all the dead skin accumulated on their face. A lot of us do not realize but if you look tired most of the time and your skin lacks luster or shine, it could be because of the dead skin accumulation. When the horny layer of the epidermis has too much dead skin and is not exfoliated, it causes the surface to be bumpy, thus when light hits the skin, it does not reflect well and hence looks dull. A simple solution is to try out our Clear & Bright Facial which not only peels off all the dead skin but we also infuse vitamins to your skin to give it a nice radiant glow. The facial takes approximately 20 minutes with no downtime, so you would need not worry about hiding your face for a day. Sunblock is advised due to the peeling process that happens in clinic. Usually this facial would set you back by RM 500/session, but do call our clinic for any special promotions going on.
4. Panda Eyes
Some people look so tired and lethargic because of their panda eye look. Some panda eyes look so bad, you start wondering whether they are on drugs or why they are not sleeping. There are many causes of panda eyes, some being hereditary pigmentation, some being vein congestion. A quick and simple fix that we can do for you is doing a chemical peel and then infusing some bleaching agents at the area, to reduce the pigmented look. Subsequently, we would recommend eye creams/ ampules to help strengthen the skin to reduce the appearance more. As us today about this new treatment.
5. Sagging Sad Face
Some people have sagging skin that makes them look worn out and sad most of the time. A simple Relax-F facial will be tightening up skin in no time. Even after the first session, there is a mark improvement and after a few more, the skin will appear tighter than ever. The best part about this facial is that it is painless, takes approximately 30 minutes and no downtime, and results can last up to a month even with 1 session. For a more lasting and faster effect, you can combine this with our liposome face-neck-low neck ampules. With DMAE as a powerful skin tightener, the sagging face will be no more in no time. Hence, gone is the need for facelift or threads which are more invasive.
