Reasons Why Anyone Would Need Skin Rejuvenation Treatments in Singapore

Ageing isn’t just your skin looking dry and dull with some sun spots sprinkled around your forehead or cheeks – there are actually real and physical changes happening within the skin cells itself! The dermis in our skin contains small blood vessels to help with nourishment to our skin, and contains a well built mesh of collagen and elastin fibres to give it strength and resilience (think bouncy and elastic skin!).

With increasing age, there is a loss of dermal volume and thickness by about 20%, a 50% decrease in the number of mast cells (immune cells that react to wounds in the skin surface and help with kickstarting healing), and a 60% decrease in blood flow which all compromises the youthful appearance of skin. The content of collagen in the dermis decreases by 1% every year throughout the normal adult life due to natural degradation processes in the body, and its structure even changes from well-organised fibres into a fragmented and disorganised collagen structure form that loses its ability to regain its shape after being deformed. Their capacity to bind to water, called hydrophilic properties, also begins to diminish. Fibroblastic activity reduces, and this is important as fibroblasts main job is to synthesise collagen and elastin in the skin.

This explains why collagen and elastin begins to reduce in the skin as ageing occurs, giving an appearance of dull, sagging, or droopy skin. Hydration levels also drop and skin takes on a ‘crepey’ appearance that can’t seem to bounce back no matter how many hydrating serums or creams a person uses. Even wrinkles can’t seem to go away! Skin rejuvenation treatment helps to address those issues, even if it cannot permanently turn back the ageing process. Why skin rejuvenation treatments? Read on to find out!

Why Do I Need Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?

Collagen breakdown weakens the skin’s structure
With age, collagen production slows while breakdown accelerates, leading to weaker, less elastic skin. Rejuvenation treatments stimulate collagen regeneration and slow its degradation, restoring firmness and elasticity.

Skin becomes dehydrated, dull, and lined
Reduced collagen limits the skin’s ability to retain moisture, resulting in dryness, roughness, and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Treatments boost collagen synthesis and hydration, evening texture and softening visible signs of ageing.

Sagging and loss of facial contours
As collagen and elastin diminish, the skin begins to sag, particularly around the cheeks, neck and jawline. Lifting and tightening treatments improve skin firmness, helping restore a more contoured and youthful appearance.

Skin thins and becomes more fragile
Ageing leads to a thinner dermis and epidermis, making the skin appear more transparent and prone to damage. Rejuvenation thickens the dermal layers and strengthens blood vessels, improving skin tone, resilience and healing capacity.

Skin Rejuvenation Treatments

Energy-Based Devices

1. Pico Laser

The Pico Laser delivers ultra-short pulses of energy to stimulate collagen production and remodel the skin from within. It targets pigmentation and uneven texture while refining pores and brightening the overall complexion. This non-invasive treatment helps rejuvenate the skin by improving tone and clarity with minimal downtime.

2. Q-Switched Laser

The Q-Switched Laser targets mature skin showing dark spots, enlarged pores, and sagging. It addresses pigmentation issues and signs of ageing, helping to restore skin clarity and firmness.

3. Fractional CO2 Laser

The Fractional CO₂ Laser rejuvenates ageing skin by creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production and skin renewal. It improves fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, and uneven texture—particularly in areas like the eyes, mouth, and neck. Over time, the skin becomes firmer and more youthful-looking.

4. Clear + Brilliant Laser

The Clear + Brilliant Laser is a gentler option than the Fractional CO2 laser, designed for those seeking subtle improvements in skin tone and texture. It is ideal for early signs of ageing and helps refresh the skin by reducing fine lines and uneven pigmentation.

Injectables

1. Skin Boosters with HA

These skin boosters use hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate the skin, improve elasticity, and stimulate collagen and elastin production. Treatments like HA Smooth are ideal for improving texture, firmness, and overall radiance—especially in areas prone to early signs of ageing and skin laxity.

2. Skin Boosters (PDRN)

PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide) skin boosters support cellular repair and regeneration. By enhancing tissue healing and collagen production, they help improve skin tone, reduce fine lines, and revitalise dull, tired skin from within.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels shed the outer layers of damaged skin, revealing smoother, younger-looking skin underneath. This treatment helps with fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and other skin imperfections over time.

When Do I Need Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?

Skin rejuvenation treatments can begin even in a person’s 20s! Because of the wide range of treatments and how they vary in intensity and function, it can be used for prevention of ageing signs in a person’s 20s (like Skinboosters for hydration!), to using chemical peels for wrinkles that begin to appear in a person’s 30s and 40s, to diminishing hyperpigmentation after childbirth and hormonal changes in a person’s 50s (like Pico Lasers).

As with all skin treatments, it is extremely important to be compliant to after-procedural care which includes sun protection measures. This helps to prevent pigmentation from appearing or worsening. This study showed that even the use of a low grade SPF of 4-10 daily can decrease lifetime exposures to ultraviolet rays by 50%! That’s 50% less sun damage to your skin, which can go a long way in slowing down skin ageing. Remember, skin rejuvenation treatments are just one part of the story. The other part is how well you take care of your body.
