What anti-aging treatments are recommended for a 40 year old lady who has never undergone any aesthetic procedures before?

Doctor's Answer

Hi Ming Lim,

This is a common request I get in my Clinic. At the age of 40, it is important to reverse effects of aging and preserve existing to slow down aging.

You are concerned about your crowfeet, skin complexion and poor skin elasticity. I will recommend the following treatments to address your concerns. I will also recommend treatments with minimal downtime, yet with visible improvements.

1) Crowfeet

To reduce your crowfeet, I will recommend botulinum injection to the skin around your eyes. Results will set in 3 days later with maximum results in 2 weeks. Besides reducing the wrinkles, the injection will also help to lift up your eyelids to reduce the drooping of the eyelids.

2) Skin Colour

I like to use Sciton Forever young BBL to improve skin complexion, pores and pigmentation . It is able to brighten and whiten the skin, giving an immediate glow to the Skin after each treatment. Depending on your condition, I may also use the Fotona 4D Laser which uses 4 types of laser to lift the skin, reduce wrinkles without fillers and improve Skin colour and texture.

3) Supple Skin

I like to use skinboosters containing hyaluronic acid and Rejuran to improve Skin hydration and elasticity. This is injected superficially into the skin of your face.

If you are not keen on multiple injections on the face, I will recommend Sciton Star, Thermage , Ultherapy or Exilis Ultra to improve Skin elasticity and provide a facelift. The selection of the appropriate treatment will depend on your skin condition, pain threshold and budget.

I hope the suggestions help you to make a decision on your treatment plan.
