“Do you know what truly happens to your skin as you age?”

Well, it begins to lose collagen. Progressively, your skin also starts to lose its natural hyaluronic acid content.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to our skin’s overall barrier function and helps our skin to retain moisture effectively. Since this hyaluronic acid content depletes as we age, our cells will not be able to retain water as effectively, leading to a breakdown in our skin’s collagen and elasticity over time.

HA Smooth® treatment is an option widely used throughout Europe and now Singapore to replenish our skin’s hyaluronic acid content and restore our skin’s youthful appearance.

How does HA Smooth work?

As you age, your body starts to produce less collagen and elastin – the cells that give your skin its structure and firmness. This means your skin can no longer hold its appearance and the first signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles, start to appear.

HA Smooth addresses this problem directly by stimulating collagen production and increasing elasticity of the skin. HA Smooth is a BDDE-free stabilised hyaluronic acid (HA)-based product designed to treat skin laxity among many other skin issues.

Is hyaluronic acid safe for the body?

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally, and the levels of HA in the body are balanced by an enzyme known as hyaluronidase, which breaks down the hyaluronic acid molecules.

Fun fact:
Hyaluronidase is the least disruptive among other forms of fillers – it also happens to be the substance that breaks down HA Smooth fillers.

With one of the highest concentrations of HA on the market (64mg / 2ml) HA Smooth not only boosts and hydrates skin, but also remodels ageing and sagging tissue.

A new version of HA Smooth, HA Smooth Structura, is slated to launch in end 2024. HA Smooth® Structura is anticipated to be an improved version with enhanced hydrating properties. 

What are the benefits of HA Smooth Treatment?

 

HA Smooth offers safe and effective skin rejuvenation for patients looking to improve skin quality, hydration and restore radiance.

It is a good starter treatment for those new to aesthetics

HA Smooth is a non-invasive treatment that is very natural – from the way it works to the results it produces. HA Smooth encourages your body to produce collagen so your body will never ‘overreact’. As such, HA Smooth is a great entry treatment for those who are not ready for treatments like Anti Wrinkle Treatment and fillers. 

It fights against skin laxity

HA Smooth triggers the production of elastin to regain the firmness and suppleness of the skin around the treatment site. The treatment processes in a manner where collagen and elastin fibres are remodelled on the dermal matrix and counteract skin laxity instantly. This means that HA Smooth treatment would tighten your skin and make it appear fresh.

It improves the quality of your skin

For patients experiencing wrinkles, crepiness, or loose skin, HA Smooth® treatment can help with a lifting effect. Read more about HA Smooth’s lifting properties here

It allows patients to specifically target problematic areas

Most people face issues on specific parts of their face, such as under eye wrinkles, crepey cheeks, or fine lines that surround the eyes. The HA Smooth treatment is excellent in targeting these areas and it ensures that each area is fully treated. Apart from this, it also caters to the needs of your neck or hands by tightening them and making them appear smooth.

It improves your skin’s texture and its tone

Not only does HA Smooth treatment remove unwanted marks or dents from your skin it also softens skin texture. Moreover, HA Smooth treatment is an ideal strategy to improve your skin tone. It cleans your skin by removing oils and burns you have had previously and improves your skin tone by exposing your original skin colour. Overall, HA Smooth clears your skin, your skin tone, and the texture of your skin.

It contains anti-inflammatory properties

HA Smooth is a bio-remodelling agent that restores and regenerates tissue and improves the overall quality of skin. It carries anti-inflammatory properties, and can be beneficial for inflammatory conditions like rosacea and eczema.

How is the HA Smooth procedure like?

HA Smooth is conventionally adminstered using the Bio Aesthetic Points (BAP) technique, which identifies five insertion points on each side of the face. However, newer research shows that HA Smooth can be inserted into the forehead and temples via a new technique using a cannula. This technique is reported to improve skin firmness, skin brightness and even eyebrow ptosis. 
 

How do I decide if HA Smooth is right for me?

HA Smooth skin treatments is ideal for individuals who experience early signs of the following:

  • Wrinkles (e.g smokers lines, frown lines, crows feet)
  • Saggy and excess skin
  • Dry, dehydrated skin
  • Skin that has lost elasticity and shape

Since HA Smooth mimics the body’s production of hyaluronic acid, it produces subtle instead of dramatic results. However, if you’re looking for a more drastic lift and remodelling treatment, you may want to look into dermal fillers or finding more advanced surgical procedures to get your desired results.

For those over the age of 60 who with accelerated ageing skin, the treatment may see varied results compared to combined treatments with other methods.

Is there downtime for HA Smooth Treatment?

Immediately after the procedure, you can see small bumps, much like an insect bite or bee sting, at the treatment site which may take up to 24 hours to settle.

While these bumps are not extremely obvious, we do not recommend doing HA Smooth treatment right before an important event.

Depending on what sort of skin you have you can still have a few bumps hanging around the following day.

The treatment process is quick and comfortable, requiring only 5 insertion points on each side of the face.

FAQ

HA Smooth is inserted under the skin using very small needles. We use TSK INViSIBLE needles, which are 33% thinner than 30G needles. These ‘invisible’ needles are very comfortable, which makes HA Smooth treatment with us almost painless.

The protocol for HA Smooth on the face requires it to be inserted on 5 points each side of the face. We use local anaesthesia and the process is made more comfortable with numbing cream. We also use a vibrating face tool that distracts patients from any pain sensations.

Slight soreness around the treatment points can sometimes be felt for the first 1-2 days.

At our clinic, we’ve developed a proprietary protocol for our HA Smooth treatment that incorporates local anaesthesia, ensuring a nearly painless experience for our clients. Please note that separate charges for anaesthesia may apply. 

Hyaluronic Acid is well-tolerated by the skin. The only reported side effects are mild bruising and mild swelling at the injection sites.

These generally disappear in a short period of time and are associated with the needle, not the product.

HA Smooth was launched in February 2015 in Italy. It has been used worldwide ever since and has become a firm favourite across the globe with no adverse reactions reported.

From a safety perspective, HA Smooth is highly bio-compatible because it is made from natural Hyaluronic Acid. It is also stabilised without the addition of chemical cross-linking agents.

This reduces the risk of adverse reactions. In any case, you should plan your treatments around social events in case you do experience any effects that could affect your appearance, such as mild bruising.

HA Smooth continues to work in the skin for around a month after treatment, at which point it will have been fully metabolised by the body.

By this time, it will have stimulated natural collagen and elastin production, meaning that the rejuvenating effects of treatment will continue even after HA Smooth has been naturally broken down.

For optimal results, we suggest scheduling an initial treatment followed by a second session one month later, a third session six to nine months after the second, and another session one month thereafter.

For drier, more matured skin, we recommend three treatments spaced one month apart initially, followed by a fourth session six to nine months later, and another two more sessions spaced one month apart. 

Please note that this is just a general guideline and our doctors can recommend better after an assessment. 

Patients may feel an immediate improvement thanks to the hydrating effect, but it can take a few weeks before the real results of treatment start to be noticed as HA Smooth encourages the body to produce its own anti-ageing collagen and elastin.

After a month, your skin should feel smooth, soft, tight and plump. At this point a second treatment is needed to stimulate the collagen fully and elastin production for optimal results.

You may notice a refreshed appearance even a week after your treatment. However, the full results can be seen 4 weeks after your second treatment.

Although it’s most commonly used on the face, it can also work well on the neck, arms, knees and hands.

HA Smooth can be used alongside many of our other treatments, to further enhance the rejuvenating benefits – one of which is Anti Wrinkle Treatment. 

While Anti Wrinkle Treatment tackles wrinkles caused by specific muscles, HA Smooth will give an overall radiance boost, complimenting the Anti Wrinkle Injection.

Dermal fillers can also be used in conjunction with HA Smooth to add volume to specific areas while HA Smooth provides more general rejuvenation.

  • Makeup should not be worn for 12 hours.
  • Avoid alcohol and vigorous exercise for 48 hours.
  • Avoid sunbathing, and extremes of heat or cold for 14 days post treatment.
  • It is advisable to avoid aspirin for 12-48 hours after treatment.

HA Smooth treatment takes around 30 minutes to be completed, per session.

During this half an hour period, the practitioner will apply numbing cream, mark out spots for injections and will inject your area of concern in five places for widespread and more effective treatment.

Generally, the procedure is quicker than most beauty procedures and is relatively comfortable.

Yes, HA Smooth and PN Restore can be done together as they work synergistically. However, they should be done strategically for maximum results. If you are interested in a holistic HA Smooth and PN Restore combination treatment plan, please contact us for more information. 

Yes, we recommend doing HA Smooth after laser treatment to enhance skin hydration. Both treatments work synergistically for optimal skin rejuvenation effects.
