Face Sculpt: The Non-Surgical Facelift

/0 Comments/in /by

If you’re looking for a fitting alternative for surgical face-lifting, Face Sculpt may very well be what you’re looking for.

Face Sculpt is a minimally invasive and non-surgical treatment which rejuvenates without changing the natural features of the face or leaving any scaring on the skin. Face Sculpt threads are special, absorbable and made out of polylactic acid.

The Face Sculpt technique is generally safe and helps regenerate sagging facial and neck tissue, while improving skin damaged by excessive sunlight exposure. During the Face Sculpt treatment, the tiny barbs (or as known as cogs) are inserted into the sub dermis. Upon implantation, these Face Sculpt threads immediately provide support scaffolding for soft facial tissues and both lifts and holds them in place.

The rejuvenating effect is visible after the procedure. The face becomes smooth, firm and rejuvenated. Face Sculpt sutures are naturally absorbed by the body after 8-12 months and positive results even can last up years after. Sometimes, patients may wish to undergo another treatment for an enhanced effect or simply to correct facial asymmetry. Face Sculpt sutures can be inserted into the same or new sub-dermal areas.

Areas that will benefit from Face Sculpt threads:

  • Eyebrow lift
  • Mid-face (cheek) lift
  • Jaw & neck lift
  • Temple and forehead lift
  • Lift of post-traumatic and congenital paresis of the facial nerves and partial paralysis

The ideal candidates for Face Sculpt threads are patients aged between 30 to 60 years old who aim to look youthful through less-invasive, non-surgical means. Patients who begin to experience sagging in their face or neck but do not have excessively loose skin or severely dropping areas (that may require a more rigorous facelift) should consider Face Sculpt. It is also important to have relatively good tone.

Face Sculpt is performed under local anesthesia. There is little downtime with minimal swelling for 2-3 days. One’s face might feel tight and unnatural but these threads will ease into place within days.

We now offer an effective Face Sculpt treatment at Shinagawa Aesthetics!

A more glowing facial appearance for a happier you awaits! For inquiries and appointments, call our Patient Care Lines (+632) 7-368 5238 | (+63) 917 862 7454 | (+63) 921 217 0517. A FREE derma consultation awaits as well!

Benefits Of LASIK During COVID-19 Pandemic | Shinagawa Blog

Benefits Of LASIK During COVID-19 Pandemic

/2 Comments/in , /by

The benefits that LASIK can provide you during a pandemic are immeasurable.

One of the best benefits right now is that you’ll be able to see better than you ever have without the need to touch your face, worry about contact hygiene, or adjust to wearing glasses 24/7. It’s convenient, it keeps your eyes safe, and you’ll have the bright vision you need.

LASIK is a low-risk procedure at the best of times; right now, that’s still true. Compared to other eye surgeries, it’s actually one of the safest to perform during this pandemic. LASIK is a quick surgery to perform, so you won’t have to spend a lot of time with the surgeon or staff during the surgery.

Overall, if you get LASIK at Shinagawa right now, you’ll be in an even more sterile and safe environment than ever before, but you’ll have the same great results that come from LASIK surgery whether there’s a pandemic or not.

In other words, LASIK will give you vision as good or better than your contact lenses give you, and you will likely be safer from the virus in the long run post-LASIK than you are with contact lenses now and in the future.

If you’re concerned about using your contact lenses during a pandemic, it’s time to seriously consider having LASIK at Shinagawa. In the long-run, you’ll find that your eyes are safer and healthier without the need to touch your eyes so often.

At Shinagawa, we’ve performed literally millions of laser eye surgeries, so you know you’re receiving the best surgery performance and the highest-quality care available.

PresbyMAX: The Best Treatment for your Presbyopia | Shinagawa Blog

PresbyMAX: The Best Treatment for your Presbyopia

/0 Comments/in , /by

Even if you’ve had a perfect or good vision all your life, at some point typically after age 40, presbyopia will affect you.

From around 40 years of age, the near vision of almost all people distinctly declines. This is not caused by any sort of visual defect, but rather a perfectly natural, age-related process whereby the lens of the eye loses mobility. For that reason, the eye becomes unable to adjust clearly to different distances.

Blurred vision, especially at close range, is the result.

For the treatment of presbyopia – the medical term for age-related long-sightedness – alternatives to reading or varifocal glasses along with multifocal contact or intraocular lenses are now available.

PresbyMAX is designed to fix presbyopia problems of middle-aged people, allowing them to have a brighter vision minus the hassles of reading glasses.

PresbyMAX is a minimally invasive laser eye procedure that treats presbyopia (also known as ‘reading vision problems’). This superior eye treatment is powered by the Schwind Amaris 1050RS, the fastest excimer laser technology today, and enhances not only distance and near visual acuity but also the patient’s range of clear vision. The following conditions can also be corrected at the same time with PresbyMAX: myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), and astigmatism (irregular eye shape).

If a patient turns out to be ineligible for LASIK due to presbyopia or reading problem, PresbyMAX is one of the recommended alternatives. On average, patients who seek PresbyMAX treatment are over 45 years of age.

  • Short, minimally invasive treatment time of just a few minutes
  • Rapid restoration of near vision
  • High quality of vision at all visual distances
  • Simultaneous correction of visual defects such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
  • Proven safe and effective treatment with the use of a technologically advanced Schwind Amaris eye laser system.

The treatment is completed in just a few minutes, and the actual laser ablation takes only seconds. The procedure neither touches nor replaces the sensitive lens of the eye. Rather, rapid laser pulses gently model the cornea with high precision.

Several different treatment variants are possible with the PresbyMAX procedure. Your specialist will advise you about the variant which suits you best.

Unlike conventional LASIK treatment, multiple precisely calculated focal points are created in the eye – similar to the principle applied in multifocal contact or intraocular lenses. The cornea is modeled at the center for near vision and towards the periphery for distant vision.

This results in a good depth of field and high-quality vision at all distances. Visual acuity typically improves rapidly, especially at a near distance. Adaptation to the new visual impression usually takes slightly longer than after conventional LASIK treatment.

Suitable Candidates

Not all patients are suitable or qualified to undergo PresbyMAX. The following categories are considered for suitability for PresbyMAX:

  • Patients who are exclusively presbyopic and wish to do without reading glasses
  • Presbyopic patients with uncorrected myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism
  • Presbyopic patients who have already undergone laser treatment with the goal of optimal distance vision and have had a good experience with it
  • Presbyopic patients who have already undergone cataract surgery and now wish to be able to
    read without corrective lenses.

Shinagawa now offers PresbyMAX as a one-stop solution to your presbyopia problems! Let us help your live your life to the fullest in your 40s and beyond with a better all-around vision!

Sink Your Keloids Through Injections | Shinagawa Blog

Sink Your Keloids Through Injections

/0 Comments/in /by

Annoyed with a nasty keloid in your body? Why not get rid of them for good?

Sinking a keloid and getting rid of it is very possible given the advancements in terms of skin treatments.

Dermatologists can inject a corticosteroid solution directly into a hypertrophic scar or keloid, which helps in reducing its size.

Steroids break the bonds between collagen fibers, which reduces the amount of scar tissue beneath the skin. They also have powerful anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce swelling, redness, itching, or tenderness.

This entire process facilitates the eventual removal of a keloid.

Steroid injections are usually administered in a dermatologist’s office.

The beauty of this non-invasive technique to minimize and/or eliminate the appearance of all types of scars and, in some instances, prevent a surgical wound from becoming a hypertrophic scar or permanent keloid.

If you badly want to get rid of your keloid, our dermatologists are ready to start the treatment for that. Shinagawa Aesthetics offers effective keloid treatment. Call our Patient Care Lines (+632) 7-368 5238 | (+63) 917 862 7454 | (+63) 921 217 0517 to book a FREE derma consultation and see how you can have your keloid removed.
