SkinTrends Official ShopeeFrequently Asked Questions
-
No, because we use sterile medical tools to target pores without causing trauma to the skin. After 24 hours, the pricked area heals, leaving no marks. Scarring results from inflammation and pus beneath the skin. To prevent this, have inflamed cystic pimples treated promptly with injections and extractions within 2 days.
-
Acne can return if your sebaceous glands remain overactive, producing excess sebum that can turn into blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. Regular medication to regulate sebum production and prevent dead skin buildup is important, as well as monthly treatments to remove developing comedones and prevent full-blown acne.
-
The term "acne" encompasses a spectrum of skin issues such as blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed pimples, and cystic lesions. Even if you primarily have blackheads, it's still considered a form of acne, and may worsen into infected pimples if left untreated.
-
It's best to start as young as possible to minimize the risk of scarring. However, it's important to note that younger patients, especially pre-teens and teenagers, may have a lower tolerance for pain. At SkinTrends, we offer treatments with topical anesthesia to lessen discomfort.
-
Botox is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles responsible for wrinkles, making wrinkles vanish as muscles relax. In contrast, fillers, commonly hyaluronic acid, are injected to restore volume in areas of the face affected by aging or if a patient has a naturally short chin.
-
Cloudy days don't reduce UV ray penetration, so sunscreen remains essential. Don't forget to reapply every 3 hours when spending extended time outdoors to ensure protection.
-
Scrubbing, especially in sensitive areas like underarms or groin, can darken the skin due to friction. These regions are prone to darkening because of constant rubbing during movement, and excessive scrubbing can exacerbate the issue.
-
While there may be slight discomfort, getting filler injections is usually less painful than expected. They contain a numbing solution called lidocaine, and when administered gently, should not be painful. For Botox, we use a topical anesthesia to numb the treatment area, so you should only feel a minor sting. The eyebrow area can be a bit more sensitive, causing a somewhat stronger sting that quickly dissipates.
