What Are 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

Glowwis Treatment Options

Lessen The Prominence Of Smile And Sad Lines

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.

Learn More

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.

HOW TO TREAT SMILE/SAD LINES

The treatment of sad and smile lines often involves a combination of preventive measures, skincare, and cosmetic procedures. Dr. Sam advises trying these easy approaches to address the problem:

1. TOPICAL RETINOIDS

Incorporating retinol into your skincare routine helps to reduce the appearance of lines as it prompts collagen production.

2. LIFESTYLE CHANGES

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

3. PROFESSIONAL TREATMENTS

Consult with Dr. Sam to determine the most suitable treatments that can improve skin texture and reduce the appearance of lines on your skin.

I had my HIFU + MFU + RF treatment at Glowwis Aesthetic for the first time. I was scared it would be painful but surprisingly the pain was very minimal. The therapist applied my treatment area with numbing cream before the treatment. After one session, my sagging skin on my chin felt tighter. My neck and cheeks were firmer. I had some redness, but it disappeared after next morning after I woke up (Which is about 16 hours after treatment). Dr. Sam and team did an amazing job. Not to mention the patience and the professionalism of Dr. Sam. No hard selling. see you soon again!

I trust Glowwis Aesthetic, especially Dr. Sam for my Juvelook collagen booster. I had my second treatment recently. One month after the first treatment I witnessed improvement in skin firmness, pores and fine wrinkles. During the first consultation, Dr. Sam advised on the best collagen skin booster for my skin concerns after assessing the skin. He took quite a while to address all my concerns and answer my questions which I appreciate, as I have previously experienced doctors rushing through the consultation. The first treatment of Juvelook was kind of painful but was bearable to me. The second treatment was only a little bit painful; I think my skin got used to it. I recommend Dr. Sam for Juvelook injection. No Hard selling. The staff was helpful & friendly. Thanks.

I had acne breakouts very often in my teenage years, so I had some acne scars on my both cheeks. Went for my appointment and met Dr. Sam at Glowwis Aesthetic couple of months ago for acne scar removal treatments. He had a customised treatment plan for my acne scars consists of microneedle RF, Subcision and collagen boosters. I had to go through few sessions of treatments, and OMG! My acne scars started to flatten and lighten even before I finish my treatments! SO happy!!! Worth every penny! The staff didn’t try to hard sell but only what I needed. Highly recommended 😀

I did HIFU 3 in one treatment (HIFU + MFU + RF). There was a Dr. Consultation session before the treatment, and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Sam as he was listening to all my concerns attentively and educated me about the HIFU treatment in detail. There was numbing cream applied before the treatment and the pain during the treatment was bearable to me. There was an immediate lifting on my face after the HIFU 3 in one treatment and I am happy with my experience at Glowwis. Finally, I would also like to mention the staff who were very helpful and understanding.

I have visited this clinic at Capitol Mall in City Hall for their HIFU 3 in one treatment. I would rate the service of Dr. Sam and the staff high, because they all were helpful and taken good care of me during the time I was at Glowwis. I realised that Dr. Sam is a very knowledgeable practitioner and I learnt how he generates noticeable results by customised techniques in placing HIFU shots on to different areas of the face and neck. The pain was tolerable during the procedure and MFU + RF had a zero-pain level. The staff applied numbing cream and waited for some time before the procedure. There was mild redness after the procedure and was back to normal by the time I woke up the next morning. A mild soreness lasted for about a day also. Highly Recommend Dr. Sam for HIFU treatment.

Was searching for aesthetic treatment for my freckles and found Dr Sam whose super skillful and detailed! it's my first time trying Curas laser and my second time trying Pico laser. The whole process from the detail skin analysis and the recommendation of the treatment was a breeze! Dr Sam assured me that my condition has no downtime which was lucky for me! The pain is nil to minimal for these treatments and I feel safe under Dr Sam's care. Love that there's zero hard sell which make the experience so much better. Would like to praise Kristabelle cos she's super friendly and approachable through my experience at Glowwis. Would definitely visit them again! Looking forward to glowy skin soon!!

Dr Sam is a very friendly and honest doctor. He shared detailed of my skin problems patiently and offered solutions that suit my budget. I also did the pick and curos laser that helps pigmentation and tighten skin. Totally painless under his hands. Highly recommended.

This was my very first time to an aesthetic clinic. I was first greeted by very friendly and cheerful staff when I entered the clinic. Dr Sam attended to me and I must say I’m so pleased with the whole experience! He rightfully pointed out my key areas of concern, and was very patient in explaining in detail the options available for me to treat those concerns I have. I was always hesitant about visiting aesthetic clinics as I have the impression that aesthetic clinics are all about hard selling but I was proven wrong here. Dr Sam presented me the available options I have and asked for me to think through before deciding. After careful consideration, I decided to go for all 3 laser treatments available (Pico laser, Q switch laser and CO2 laser) to tackle the pigmentation and dullness on my skin. The treatment process was absolutely pleasant - I was pretty nervous that the laser treatments would hurt but thankfully, Dr Sam was really skillful and professional that it didn’t even hurt a bit nor cause any discomfort. The initial results were pretty assuring - minimal redness and no swelling. I’m looking forward to witness the final results a couple of days later!
