1. Reduces “bad enzymes” Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPS)
MMPs contribute to inflammation and collagen degradation, they also appear to be involved in connective tissue metabolic disorders resulting in conditions such as acne, eczema and dermatitis. Inhibiting MMPs returns the skin back to its normal collagen metabolic state.
2. Activates HSPs (heat shock proteins)
HSPs aid in skin immunity and strengthens its ability to heal. They are produced to help the skin combat stressful conditions such as exposure to extreme temperatures and UV radiation.
3. Increase GAGs (glycosaminoglycans)
GAGs accelerate cell metabolism and hyaluronan content in skin. By increasing tissue turgor, it improves texture, tone and strengthens the skin barrier.

Scar Regeneration & Wound Healing
Hypertrophic Scars, Keloids, Stretch Marks, Bruises, Contusion, Post – Operative Wound, Post – Traumatic Scar.Most ultrasound systems use a single frequency, typically in the range of 1 to a maximum of 5 MHz, the therapeutic effect is thus far below the superficial skin layers. LDM uses a special frequency of 10 MHz other than 1 and 3MHz, which allows the energy to work effectively on the epidermis and dermis, where disease processes take place. In addition, the system switches and combines frequencies at timed intervals, ensuing better dynamic pressure distribution in the tissue over several skin layers.
While improvement may be observed after just one session, for optimal and full results, LDM should be performed once every week or fortnight for the first six weeks. Maintenance sessions are recommended once every month to two months.
Dermatological conditions such as eczema or psoriasis may need up to eight treatments and in more complex and severe cases, ten to sixteen sessions.
Exosomes are tiny vesicles or “bubbles” released by various cells in the human body. They contain bioactive molecules such as growth factors, amino acids, lipids, peptides and genetic material. These nanoparticles act as messengers and transmit signals to unhealthy cells, triggering them to regenerate. As ageing occurs, our skin cells shrink and exosomes deplete, exosome treatment allows fresh exosomes to swoop in to instruct skin cells to repair and regenerate. Depending on the signal transmitted, this results in an exponential increase in collagen and elastin, reduced pigment production, improved wound healing, and reduced inflammation. Skin becomes visibly plumper, firmer, brighter and smoother.
The exosomes we use at s.k.MED are extracted meticulously from botanical stem cells and processed using patented technology. The end product is highly purified, contains 6 billion particles, 71 types of growth factors, more than 1000 regenerative proteins, and together with premier activators, ensures a holistic experience in skin rejuvenation.
The following six images depict the penetration of exosome nano particles into the skin over 24 hours.

The exosome treatment is performed alongside microneedling or laser therapy. These procedures create micro-channels in the skin which facilitate the penetration and absorption of the exosomes. In addition, exosomes work synergistically with the skin’s natural healing processes to maximise the benefits of the device-based treatments.
Exosome treatment addresses the following:
The treatment is virtually painless with numbing cream.
Sciton® MicroLaserPeel® removes the top layer of damaged skin. As skin heals, fresh cells grow and populate the treated area. The result is healthier-looking skin, often with improved texture, tone and colour.
Immediately following the procedure, you may experience redness, mild swelling and a sensation resembling sunburn. The treated skin will peel within the next few days.
MicroLaserPeel can be combined with BBL for better brightening results or ProFractional for severe acne scars.
Sciton® Profractional™ erbium YAG laser creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin which are surrounded by areas of healthy, untreated skin. The zones of untreated skin invigorate the body’s natural healing process, while the treated areas stimulate production of new collagen. This process improves the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles and textural or colour irregularities.
Immediately following the procedure, there will be redness, swelling, and a sensation resembling sunburn. The treated skin will scab and peel within a week. The application of aftercare products will aid with wound healing.
ProFractional can be combined with MicroLaserPeel to treat severe acne scars.
Rejuran® is one of the latest anti-ageing treatments that has surged in popularity across Asia. It delivers lasting results and offers a holistic approach to skin rejuvenation, addressing multiple signs of ageing and skin concerns in a single treatment. Manufactured in South Korea, Rejuran® contains polynucleotides that are derived from salmon DNA, which are known for their regenerative properties. The treatment boosts skin’s renewal ability, improves elasticity, and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
For scar treatment, we offer Rejuran® s, which is specially formulated to target scars and enhance skin healing processes. The thicker viscosity lifts depressed scars, prevents them from collapsing, and initiates repair of scar tissue more effectively.
For the delicate eye area, we offer Rejuran® i, which is specially formulated to treat dark circles, wrinkles and puffiness. It is less viscous and softer compared to regular Rejuran®, therefore, more comfortable and a shortened downtime as it causes fewer bumps post-procedure.
Common post-treatment complications include redness, swelling and bruising. You may begin to notice gradual improvement 3-4 weeks after the first treatment, full results are observed after four treatment sessions.
A typical treatment program is made up of four initial syringes, with a syringe administered once every three weeks. Thereafter, one syringe every six months is recommended for maintenance.
Injectable polynucleotides is usually combined with subcision, TCA Cross, MicroLaserPeel and resurfacing erbium YAG laser as part of our scar revision treatment program.
TCA CROSS is the chemical reconstruction of skin scars using trichloroacetic acid (TCA). It is most often indicated for the treatment of atrophic acne scars, including icepick, rolling and boxcar scars. It is inexpensive and safe but should be performed with other scar revision treatments for optimal results.
The procedure involves depositing precise small amounts of 70%-100% TCA right onto the surface of the atrophic scar. This causes a local inflammatory response which leads to the formation of collagen fibers, dermal thickening, and resultant cosmetic improvement in the appearance of acne scars.
TCA CROSS is usually combined with subcision, injectable polynucleotides, MicroLaserPeel and resurfacing erbium YAG laser as part of our scar revision treatment program.
Subcision is a simple in-office surgery for treatment of depressed acne scars. The principle of this procedure is to manually break down scar tissue that is anchoring the outer skin to the underlying deeper tissue. The release of the scar tissue and new collagen deposition lead to cosmetic improvement of the scars.
Subcision is safe. Common complications include bruising, redness and swelling. Aftercare advice will be given.
Subcision is usually combined with Sciton MicroLaserPeel and ProFractional to treat acne scars.
