| caught up with someone for a meeting recently and was complimenting her on her skin, saying how smooth and healthy it looked. She said she’d had awful skin, not quite acne, but that it had gotten worse since moving to Singapore. However, after doing regular laser treatments for the past eight months, she was so happy with her skin and really enjoying her new look.
So far, I'd avoided fillers and other injectables that plump up the skin and
wanted to keep it that way for as long as possible. But after the little chat at my meeting, laser suddenly sounded very appealing or at least something that would make the top layer more healthy-looking. Dry skin build-up, fine wrinkles and open pores with makeup over the top wasn't the look was going for...
There are a lot of options around. One that really seems to be good at restructuring the surface, including decreasing pore size and improving overall texture, is the Sciton Halo. Eagle Eye Aesthetics is one of the few centres in Singapore to have this machine and they also have the BBL HERO, which lots of people seem happy with. Both are said to address subdermal sun damage, stimulate collagen and help pigmentation liver or age spots too). They also improve the overall finish of the skin, especially on chicken pox or acne scars.
