Smile/Sad Line Correction Treatments

Address and correct the signs of ageing

What is Smile/Sad lines?

Nasolabial folds or smile lines are lines that form from the sides of the nose to the corner of the mouth. As they are associated with smiling where the lines form, factors such as ageing can cause the lines to become deeper and permanent.

Also known as Marionette lines, these refer to the facial creases extending downward from the corners of the mouth, giving the appearance of sadness or unhappiness. Symptoms of marionette lines include not just prominent downward lines from the mouth but also dry and dull-looking skin, along with a reduction in skin elasticity and firmness.

What causes Smile/Sad lines?

These lines can occur due to various factors. Here are some of the most common causes:

Ageing

Facial Expressions

Genetics

Sun Exposure

Loss of Moisture & Collagen

LESSEN THE PROMINENCE OF SMILE AND SAD LINES

WITH GLOWWIS TREATMENT OPTIONS

At Glowwis, our treatment options are designed to reduce the prominence of smile and sad lines. These treatments are tailored to diminish the appearance of these facial lines, offering a rejuvenated and youthful glow. Dr. Sam will guide you through personalised solutions, helping you achieve a smoother and more refreshed complexion.

DERMAL FILLERS

Injecting the targeted areas with dermal fillers that contain Hyaluronic Acid helps to add volume and hydration to the skin. Some dermal fillers can also increase the production of collagen to promote skin firmness and elasticity. Dr. Sam will design a bespoke treatment according to each patient's skin type and goals.

NEUROTOXIN (Botox)

Botox injections block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that provides signals to muscles to contract. This helps to prevent excessive muscle contractions which is the most common cause of facial lines, especially in areas with dynamic movements. The treatment is quick with minimal downtime.

COLLAGEN Skin BOOSTERS

Collagen is crucial for ensuring skin's firmness and elasticity. Injecting collagen skin boosters into the skin helps to stimulate collagen production which smoothens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially on areas with dynamic movements.

HYALURONIC ACID SKIN BOOSTERS

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) skin boosters are injected into the skin in a precise manner to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the targeted area. Before proceeding with this treatment, our doctor will perform a skin analysis to determine each patient's suitability.

HIFU

High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) smoothens the appearance of smile and sad lines by delivering focused energy to create thermal coagulation points in the targeted tissues. This process stimulates collagen production which is essential for firmness and elasticity.

HIFU + MFU + RF

Combining different technologies for smile line correction, such as HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound), MFU (Microfocused Ultrasound), and RF (Radiofrequency), can be part of a comprehensive approach to address various aspects of skin tightening, collagen stimulation, and overall facial rejuvenation. Each of these technologies works in a slightly different way but with the common goal of improving skin tone, texture, and elasticity. The combined treatment approach stimulates collagen production, contributing to the firmness and elasticity of the skin.

Other Ways to Reduce Smile/Sad Lines in Singapore

Thread Lift

Thread lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure in Singapore. The dissolvable threads help to lift, tighten the skin, and promote facial contours and firmness. While the lifting effect is immediate, the collagen stimulation continues over time, contributing to gradual improvements in the skin’s health and appearance.

    General Habits to prevent Smile/Sad lines

    HYDRATION

    Maintaining sufficient water intake helps to provide hydration to your skin which also helps with elasticity and promotes a healthier complexion.

    HEALTHY DIET

    Maintaining a diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals will provide the skin with essential nutrients for it to become a healthy and youthful.

    FACIAL EXERCISES

    Practise facial exercises to strengthen and tone facial muscles. This may help prevent sagging and improve muscle support, reducing the likelihood of deep lines.

    PROPER SKINCARE

    Ageing and wrinkles become more prominent with smoking. Quitting smoking not only helps improve the skin's appearance but also your overall health.

    AVOID SMOKING

    Smoking causes the skin the age rapidly, creating wrinkles, especially around the mouth. Quitting smoking not only contributes to the skin's appearance but also to overall health.

    Excessive alcohol consumption leads to dehydration and premature ageing. It is recommended to limit your intake to a small amount to prevent the deepening of lines.

    2

    LIFESTYLE CHANGES

    Practising a healthy lifestyle by eating nutritiously, exercising regularly, and managing stress can improve your skin's health.

    3
