Best 9 Treatments For V-Shape Face In Singapore
1. Botox Jaw
Botox, also known as Botulinum toxin clinically, is a derived protein which when injected, reduces the amount of acetylcholine released in the body. This reduces the contraction of muscles giving them a relaxed, softer look. It helps to dissolve fine lines and reduce muscle mass.
Injecting botox into the masseters reduces their bulk and gives your face a V-shape face slimming. Jaw reduction with botox lasts for around six months, after which the toxin is degraded, and muscles slowly return to their original bulk size.
2. Thread Lift
The Thread Lift is a safer alternative to face lifting surgery as it is minimally invasive. A thread is inserted into your skin which is then tightened to lift your skin to make your features more prominent.
Likewise, for V-shape face treatment, a thread-like material is inserted to lift the skin of your jaw and cheeks so that your cheekbones and jawline stand out. The procedure takes only 45 minutes and lasts for 2 to 3 years in general.
3. Chin Augmentation With Fillers
Hyaluronic Acid based fillers are injected into your skin through this non-surgical procedure to add volume and reduce sagginess of your facial skin and muscles.
The synthetic fillers tone the bottom of your chin, giving it a heart shape look. Similar to inserting customized implants, the amount of fillers can be adjusted accordingly and upon injection, it can be molded to suit the facial outline of each individual. Men and women both can benefit from fillers to give their face an elongated and more V-shape look.
The treatment is effective for 9-12 months; however, some people may require touch-ups depending on how quickly the body degrades the fillers.
4. Thermage
Thermage uses radiofrequency waves, which stimulate the natural production of collagen in the deeper layers that smooth out the skin giving it a tighter look.
The application of radio waves at the jawline and nasolabial folds helps to firm and make the skin more compact in that area, effectively stretching out folds and lines. With firmer and tighter skin wrapping around the jawline, it helps to enhance the prominence of a V-shaped face and bring about facial slimming effects.
Thermage treatment results is effective for up to two years and is a safe, non-invasive alternative to all therapies.
5. High Intensity Focused Ultrasound
High intensity focused ultrasound or HIFU reduces your face fat and removes the saggy bulky look from your skin. It also increases collagen in your skin naturally, which prevents and soften lines.
The ultrasound waves typically target multiple layers of the skin at depths of 3mm and 4.5mm to deliver skin tightening benefits and melt a small amount fat. This in turn makes the jawline less rounded and achieving a more V-shape face.
The duration of results from HIFU lasts 12-18 months, and you feel a considerable difference in the skin firmness.
6. Anti- Wrinkle Injection
The procedure only requires a 30 minutes and involves Botulinum toxin injections along the jawline till the temple area. This treatment targets mid-face for lifting, rejuvenation and reducing wrinkles. The area of treatment generally excludes the muscles which are required for natural facial expressions of the recipient. On the contrary, this procedure focuses on the specific muscles that are responsible for controlling pore sizes. These also include platysma muscles of the jaw to counteract potential sagging effects that may have developed due to loss of firmness.
Botulinum toxin injections play a crucial role in shrinking the target muscles, which, in turn, creates a much firmer, tighter, more lifted and prominent V-shape face. Furthermore, it also ensures a seemingly pore-less and smooth appearance.
