FAQ

What is HA Filler * ?
HA Fillers * are made of Hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally occurring polysaccharide (sugar) present in most tissues of the human body. The average adult human body contains 7-8g of HA; approximately half of which is found in the skin, where it plays a vital role in maintaining normal skin structure and function.

How does HA retain the skin's youth?
Water in our skin cells promotes skin turgor and elasticity. As ageing process occurs, our body metabolism slows down and its ability to produce its own hyaluronic acid, collagen and other essential components for youthful skin are compromised. 

Injection of HA into our skin is an additional aid to our cells to stimulate collagen, and it also provides the adequate moisture level needed by the cells for a younger looking skin.

Is it safe?
Yes it is. HA is naturally found in the skin thus not considered a foreign particle by our cells.  HA Fillers * are akin to supplements. ClearSK™ uses HA derived from non-animal sources and are non-toxic.

How long does the procedure take?
It takes about 30 minutes and you may resume your normal activity right after.

How long does the results last?
The effects are long term, for over a year. Touch-up and follow-up treatments are convenient and need only be at 6-8 months intervals.

What are the things I need to take note after the treatment?
You need to avoid extreme heat like sauna or hot showers. You will also be taught of the massage technique to help stabilize the Fillers * on the treated area. Our Doctors will advise you of some post treatment care to prolong the effect and benefits of HA.
