The V-shaped face is so much of a trend and is here to stay. It came into existence with Korean dramas and K-pop. Since then, it has gained much popularity among Asian people and is something every woman craves for.
Whenever a person meets you, your face is the first thing they notice. A wide forehead, broad cheekbones, pointed, dainty chin, and a sharp jawline are what catch their attention.
A V-shaped face is not only a sign of femininity, but it is also associated with a youthful look. Here, we will talk about the popular treatments for achieving V shape face slimming in Singapore that are minimally invasive and widely accepted. From fillers to botox, to radiofrequency or ultrasounds waves, all have proven to be effective in bringing a square or round face closer to a shaped V face.
5 Most Popular Face Slimming Treatments In Singapore
1. Fillers
Some people have a round or square face naturally. Sometimes, your facial parts like cheeks, nose, and chin lose their volume and become baggy with time and age. This then starts giving your face a rounder appearance or it can alter your facial outline from a v-shape to somewhat u-shape face.
Fillers are injectable compounds like Hyaluronic Acid Gel, a naturally occurring protein in your body, can augment facial structures by giving them volume when placed correctly. With the latest advancements, pain-relieving formulas have also been introduced, which make the process almost pain-free. Some popular filler brands include Juvederm and Restylane.
Fillers reduce sagginess and give volume to your facial skin and muscles. It gives a natural lift to the soft tissues by replacing the collagen lost due to the natural aging process, thus giving an elevated look to your face, a skin tightening effect, and face slimming.
The most common way to create a v-shaped face is to inject fillers along the chin to make it shapelier. It gives you a sharper jawline and tones the bottom of your chin, giving it a heart-shaped look.
You may notice differences in your facial outline immediately and they last for at least 9 to 12 months before requiring the next touch-ups. It has minimum downtime as a person may only experience slight swelling and redness at the site of injection, which goes down in a couple of hours.
2. Botox
Your facial muscles, specifically the masseter, are responsible for giving your face a squarish appearance because of its heavy bulk. Botox can alter a person’s facial outline if jaw muscles is one of the factors that is affecting the facial outline.
Neurotoxins like Botulinum toxin, more commonly known as Botox, regulate the amount of acetylcholine in your body and increase it. This has a relaxing effect on your facial muscles and reduces their bulk significantly.
Apart from reducing jaw muscles, botox can also help to improve v-line definition through microinjection to the skin. Botox when administered in small amounts to the shallow layer of the skin on the face and neck, has a tightening effect which helps to lift and reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
It targets the chubby double chin and gives you a more defined and narrow jawline. That helps to enhance the look of a V-shaped face as it gives a noticeable soft lift to the face, chin and neck area.
The procedure is done after numb cream application. It leaves no side effects except for slight swelling, which can easily be dealt with through an ice pack. The results are visible within 3-5 days of the treatment and last for six months.
3. Radiofrequency
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein in your body that gives your face the tightening effect. It keeps your facial skin firm and gives your face volume and structure. As collagen production reduces with age, it makes your skin saggy and wrinkled.
Radiofrequency or Thermage works around the principle of the thermal gradient. It uses unipolar or multipolar radiofrequency waves as it heats the deeper dermis to 50-75 degrees celsius while cooling the superficial layers of the skin with the deposition of cryogen. This process stimulates the production of natural collagen within the skin.
As collagen increases, it protects your skin from the harmful UV-lights, softens wrinkles, and gives your face a contoured look. It also tones and smooths down the skin giving you a naturally fresh and glowing look.
The non-surgical method is highly recommended for V-shape face slimming in Singapore as it also reduces the fat deposited in your face. Radio waves directed to your jawline and nasolabial folds give you a narrow jaw.
The session lasts for 1 to 2 hours, and final results can last for up to two years. You may experience slight redness and burning sensation on your skin but can continue with work as soon as the session is over.
4. High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound
The non-invasive High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound or HIFU technology is used in treatments for face slimming.
HIFU is a stimulant of natural collagen in your body as it directs the ultrasonic waves to the skin’s deeper layers, heating them to 60-70 degrees celsius. The waves are projected directly on the dermis and superficial muscles. It then causes minor injury to the tissues and eventually triggers the natural healing system. The process of healing is associated with the production of collagen and elastin that tighten your jaw’s skin, giving it a natural lift.
High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound also has lipolytic capabilities as it cuts down the excessive fat pads in your cheeks and jaw and results in excretion of fat from your body.
The procedure gives you a V shape face as it tightens the skin with increased collagen and reduces fat which gives your face a slimming effect. You get a lift to your skin with reduced sagginess and a toned effect without going under the knife.
The results take at least 6-8 weeks to show up while improving with time, lasting for around 12 to 18 months for most individuals. It needs no recovery time, and you can continue with work the very same day.
5. Thread Lift
With age and reduced collagen, the skin of your face starts getting baggy and gravitates downwards. The thread lift is considered the safest alternative to face lifting surgeries as it is minimally invasive.
Thread lifting procedure makes use of the thread made up of material like PDO, which have been previously used in sutures. Hence, they are proven to be safe for use within the human body. The threads are attached to the subcutaneous tissue of the area that requires lifting, such as the jaw and cheeks.
It repositions soft tissues to give lift and define areas that are supposed to have more volume. The thread’s material also dissolves within the body, reducing the chances of all possible side effects and infections. It reduces excess bulk around the jawline, and you get a V shape face after one session.
The PDO Thread Lift procedure takes place under topical or local anesthesia and takes less than 45 minutes. The results last for around two to three years, but this specific treatment has the most extended downtime of around 7 to 10 days. You are recommended to avoid facial exercises, massages, or anything that might break the threads.
Which One Is Suitable For You?
A no-one-size-fits-all approach is used. The underlying reasons for your issues and concerns may be different from others. These can include reduced collagen, increased muscle bulk, skin sagging, and excessive fat deposition.
Filler for a pointed chin, botox for reducing muscle size, thread lifting for saggy skin, and HIFU or radiofrequency waves for increasing collagen. Depending upon your case, your doctor may recommend a different treatment than the patient next to you.
