Facial Enhancement Trends
In the last ten years, there has been an increasing demand for physicians and clinics to focus on aesthetics for the Asian face. The V-shape or slim face is considered by many Asian women to be more attractive and younger in appearance. Face slimming has become increasingly popular in the Asian culture. Advertisements for the V-shaped face or face slimming are found all over Asia, and Vancouver Laser and Skin Care is proud to offer many of the aesthetic treatments required to achieve this new look.
Aesthetics for the Asian Face
The round face is out; the slim face is in. Patients prefer non-surgical methods that are safe, effective, and have virtually no downtime.
Botox injections are the first choice for facial slimming treatments. There are several steps involved and facial shaping using Botox is a skill that comes with experience. The largest user of Botox Cosmetic in Canada is Dr. Martin Braun.
Another non-invasive approach to help achieve the V-shaped face is to use Juvederm filler for the nose, nasolabial folds and chin. The most frequent request is to fill the hollow bridge of the nose so that it looks more harmonious with the rest of the face.
At Vancouver Laser and Skin Care we are proud to inject the most Juvederm filler in Canada.
Pigmentary Disorders
While Asian cultures have always desired fairer skin, the skin types found in this population tend to be especially vulnerable to melasma and/or pigmentation disorders due to photodamage. Lasers, light sources and new topical creams can address lesions and lighten skin. Some of the solutions include:
- The Asian Fotofacial – an IPL treatment package designed to treat special Asian Skin
- Q-switched Nd-Yag laser – for melasma and deep pigment problems.
- Pixel – an Erbium-Yag laser for fine lines and pore reduction
- Skin brightening agents – customized skin care products with any percentage of hydroquinone, as well as the new Elure Skin Brightening, DCL Skin brightening, Dermaceutics Milk Peel, Spot Peel, VI Peel
