Our lifestyles, and attitudes towards beauty, are constantly evolving. Over a decade ago, getting aesthetics procedures like Botox done would have been a hush-hush affair. This is a stark contrast from today, where women can choose to catch up with one another over Botox parties instead of mani-pedi sessions at the nail salon. And, if regular exercise and a strict diet regime are no longer enough, fate freezing and body sculpting machines can now help keep you taut and trim without you lifting a single barbell. Need more proof of how times have changed? Just look at your neighbourhood physician, who can inject some fillers to go with your flu antibiotics. It’s a clear reflection of how much non- and minimally-invasive anti-ageing procedures are in demand.

“As many patients are working full-time, they want visible and immediate results without the downtime associated with surgery,” says Dr Lam Bee Lan, Medical Director of Ageless Medical Centre. She adds, “Minimally-invasive procedures have more pros than cons compared to radical plastic surgery in that most have minimal or no downtime or side effects, and the patient can get back to his/her activities immediately, without anyone realising.” If you want to appear like the best version of yourself, here are the new technologies to know, just in time for your next derm appointment.
