The natural process of aging is inevitable. It is referred to as ‘intrinsic aging’ in medical terms.

As you age, you will notice visible lines on your face. Your face loses its youthful appearance. Your skin becomes thin and dry. When these changes occur are largely controlled by your genes.

What is ‘extrinsic aging’?

What Can We Do About Presbyopia? | Shinagawa Blog

What Can We Do About Presbyopia?

/0 Comments/in , /by

Presbyopia is probably one of the most frustrating eye conditions there is for people 40 years and above.

It’s the reason the phone font size goes up as you pass your 40th birthday, it’s the reason you have trouble reading a menu or your bill at a restaurant, it’s the reason your arms don’t feel long enough…and finally, it’s the reason you have to wear those reading glasses.

Presbyopia is not completely ‘untreatable’ but to the common person, the usual option is buying a pair of those lovely readers at their closest pharmacy, or to add bifocals to their existing prescription. We are here to tell you, there are sometimes better options!

What is Presbyopia?

Presbyopia is caused when the natural lens of your eye no longer changes shape with age. As your lens becomes less flexible and loses its elasticity, it can no longer change its shape to focus on close-up images. Therefore, the images appear out of focus, and you essentially become far-sighted and need reading glasses to see up close. This usually happens in patients ages 40 and up.

What is currently available for presbyopia?

While there are some options, there’s one particular presbyopia treatment that stands out — PresbyMax!

PresbyMax is a minimally invasive laser eye procedure that treats and corrects presbyopia. Visual acuity typically improves rapidly, especially at a near distance.

If you’re tired of presbyopia and you want another solution, schedule a PresbyMax screening with us!

Difference Between Dermal Fillers And Beauty-Tox | Shinagawa Blog

Difference Between Dermal Fillers And Beauty-Tox

/0 Comments/in /by

As people get older, they tend to lose fat in their faces. Dermal Fillers help restore the look of fullness that is common in youth.

On the other hand, Beauty-Tox prevents the flexing of muscles that eventually cause wrinkles. This is why it makes sense to use it on the forehead and around the eyes.

The lines in the lower part of the face, however, are not due to repeated muscle movement, but from a change in facial structure over time.

Dermal fillers add volume to the depressions around the corners of the mouth and cheekbones.

Sometimes, it’s best to get a combination of different fillers to get an optimal correction. Together, Beauty-Tox and Dermal Fillers can work together to rejuvenate the face.

We both have quality Dermal Fillers and Beauty-Tox at Shinagawa Aesthetics! Schedule a consultation now!

ICL Makes One’s Dream Vision A Reality

Implantable Contact Lens (ICL) is another vision-enhancing treatment that Shinagawa thrives in.

Jeycel Aldaba, one of our latest ICL patients, expresses her satisfaction.

“Before I undergo my ICL surgery, my eye grade was 650/750 with astigmatism. I underwent ICL surgery first on my right eye, and a week after on my left,” bared Jeycel. “Weeks after my ICL, I can finally say that I can see everything crystal clear without my eyeglasses.”

“I was amazed that my vision is now 20/12. It is truly a life-changing experience. Thank you, Shinagawa!”

Prior to her life-changing ICL procedure, Jeycel shared how she got to make her dream come true with Shinagawa’s help.

“I started wearing eyeglasses at a very young age of 5 years old. For years of having blurry vision, it’s always been my dream to experience having a clear vision. That’s why I decided to fulfill this dream with the help of Shinagawa.”

If a patient doesn’t qualify for LASIK, ICL is a terrific alternative. We do ICL the best way at Shinagawa.
