Pigmentation & Rejuvenation

Procedures With No Or Miminal Downtime

Injectable Polynucleotides with Hyaluronic Acid Booster

This is an innovative skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the benefits of polynucleotides (PN) and hyaluronic acid (HA) in a single injectable solution. Derived from salmon DNA, polynucleotides are known for their regenerative properties, they enhance skin’s renewal ability, improve elasticity, and exert an anti-inflammatory effect. While polynucleotides increase fibroblast, elastin and collagen production, HA focuses on hydration due to its ability to retain many times its weight in water, think of it as a sponge, absorbing and holding water. As ageing occurs, the body’s ability to produce HA reduces, replenishment of HA creates luminous and dewy skin by drawing water back into cells. 

This injectable treatment offers a unique combination of skin-boosting ingredients, providing immediate hydration from HA and regenerative effects from PN. It addresses multiple signs of ageing and skin concerns in a single treatment, and is ideal for anyone looking for a fuss-free experience with rapid results.

  • Deep hydration and long-lasting rejuvenation
  • Improves radiance and luminosity
  • Improves skin texture, tone and elasticity
  • Refines pores
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enhances overall skin quality 
Common post-treatment complications include redness, swelling and bruising, which resolve quickly. Results may be observed after the first treatment session as the combination of PN and HA delivers intense hydration and rapid regeneration.

The treatment is safe and can be performed every month.

The treatment is a lot more comfortable than other injectables due to the addition of lidocaine, which reduces pain. In addition, numbing cream will be applied before treatment.

Yes, the treatment can be performed on all skin types.

Exosome Treatment

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 and peptides. 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 49.2 billion particles, more than 1000 types of growth factors and regenerative proteins, and together with premier activators, ensures a holistic experience in skin rejuvenation.

Benefits of Exosome Treatment

The following six images depict the penetration of exosome nano particles into the skin over 24 hours.

Anti-inflammation


Exosomes have formidable anti-inflammatory capacity. It complements the management of conditions such as acne, rosacea, hair loss and eczema.

Potent antioxidant


Mitigation of oxidative stress is a pivotal factor in the retardation of cellular ageing. Exosome treatment is fortified with potent antioxidants that neutralise reactive oxygen species and enhance dermal resilience.

Regeneration


Exosome treatment stimulates comprehensive cellular regeneration. It initiates the repair of damaged tissues, promotes angiogenesis, and restores skin barrier. These regenerative effects are vital for revitalising unhealthy tissues.

Melanin modulation


Exosomes downregulate cellular melanin synthesis and enhance luminosity and radiance.

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:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Pigmentation and dull, uneven skin tone
  • Uneven texture and enlarged pores
  • Hair loss
  • Dry and eczema-prone skin
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Rosacea
Most patients require 4 to 6 sessions performed at 3 to 4-weekly intervals.
The procedure is generally well tolerated apart from mild redness which typically resolves within an hour.

The treatment is virtually painless with numbing cream.

Exosome Treatment is usually combined with microneedling, microneedling radiofrequency or MicroLaserPeel.

Microneedling Radiofrequency (黄金微针)

Microneedling Radiofrequency treats melasma, diffuse redness, rosacea, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is also effective in reducing fine lines and big pores, brightening skin tone, and rejuvenating the skin in general.

How Microneedling Radiofrequency works

Developed in Silicon Valley, the device delivers a therapeutic electromagnetic field of energy through an array of micro-insulated needles that penetrate the dermis at adjustable depths. The microneedling process invigorates the body’s natural healing cascade, triggering collagen and elastin generation, while the pulsed radiofrequency energy selectively targets the basement membrane zone, where abnormal vessels and pigment-producing cells are often concentrated.

Furthermore, the innovative SR3 (Selective Regional Regeneration Radio Repeated Pulse) technology enables the device to target abnormal blood vessels and pigmentation selectively without harming the surrounding healthy tissue, thereby, promoting melanin (pigment) regulation, vascular normalisation, and collagen remodelling.

Before treatment- abnormal blood vessels and hyperpigmentation present within the different skin layers.
Therapeutic electromagnetic field of energy delivered through micro-insulated needles. 
After treatment- reduced pigmentation and abnormal vessels due to SR3 technology. 

Many individuals have a compromised basement membrance due to sun exposure and intrinsic ageing. Remodelling this very layer between the epidermis and dermis prevents the migration of pigment cells to the deeper dermal layer. The treatment targets the root causes of melasma by regulating hyperactive melanocytes (pigment cells), strengthening damaged basement membrane, removing abnormal blood vessels in the skin, and increasing collagen and young fibroblast production.

  • Melasma
  • Rosacea
  • Facial redness
  • Enlarged pores
  • Superficial fine lines
  • Acne marks

You may observe some lightening and a smoother skin texture after the first session. Full results are usually observed after 5 sessions, the treatment sessions are performed once every 3 weeks.

The treatment is virtually painless with numbing cream.

Immediately following the treatment, there may be some mild redness and swelling which typically resolves within an hour.

Most patients are able to resume activities immediately post-treatment.
