Who would be a good candidate for skinboosters on the lips?

Doctor's Answers 1

Aesthetic, General Practitioner

Hi there,

I would recommend skinboosters for the lips with the product Volite (from the Juvederm range from Allergan) for patients with dry, dehydrated, flaking/cracking lips either naturally or acquired e.g. from working in long hours of dry air/cold environment, but yet do not want to alter their natural lip shape.

Volite is a hyaluronic acid skinbooster that lasts up to 9 months with a single course of treatment. Hyaluronic acid is a water-binding molecule found naturally in our skin. Injecting a hyaluronic acid skinbooster thus helps increase our water-binding capability of our skin, including the skin on our lips, resulting in more hydrated, healthy and glossy-looking lips!

For patients who want more hydrated lips but are also looking to lip augmentation, I would recommend lip fillers instead. Hope this helps!

Regards,

Dr. Joanna Chan

How effective is fractional Co2 laser vs Infini RF for acne scars?

Good questions! I agree with Dr Chua’s reply on the pros and cons of Fractional CO2 lasers versus Infini RF. In addition, I would like to address your question on the ideal length of time between subcision and Infini RF treatments. The ideal interval between treatments is 4-6 weeks. This is to allow for adequate skin recovery. Hope that this answers your questions!

Is PRP injection available for acne scarring in Singapore?

PRP at the present moment is not available in Singapore. It does help with acne scarring though, and you might have to go to neighbouring countries to do the treatment (including Malaysia). Having said that, you can consider Rejuran/skin boosters/microneedling that can help in a similar fashion. Your 2nd question on which is better — it depends on the severity and type of scars. But usually Fractional laser is the backbone of laser therapy. So consult your doctor early to discuss the available options.
