Look attractive with or without your face mask!

Having to wear a face mask has turned out to be a blessing in disguise for some. It’s been great for hiding double chins and heavy jowls – and maskne too!

Apparently, masks have benefitted some people by helping them to look more attractive; researchers at Cardiff University in the UK have shown that both men and women are deemed more attractive with their face masks on. A more in-depth study revealed that all faces rated lower on the attractiveness scale and 70% of faces rated average on the same scale are deemed much more attractive once the face mask is worn. It turns out that the lower half of our faces factor much more into our overall attractiveness than we may think!

What about when the face mask comes off?

Look attractive with or without your face mask!

A face mask can certainly help to hide your facial insecurities – temporarily. However, if you want to truly be comfortable in your own skin, a more lasting change may be due. Beauty treatments and enhancements can give your self-image and confidence a much-needed boost. They allow you to not have to worry about looking any less attractive when you’re mask-free!

The impact of aesthetics and cosmetic procedures is not just skin-deep. A report in Clinical Psychological Science reveals that patients can experience more happiness, higher self-esteem and overall life satisfaction with the help of enhancements. Heightened confidence could prove helpful in your dating and social life too!

In Singapore, Amaris B. Clinic offers a variety of beauty treatments and procedures backed by research and experience, and emphasises personalised care and patient safety. Here are some beauty treatments and procedures that can fix what the masks are hiding.

#1 Removing fat from double chins, jawlines and jowls

While we have at least been able to hide it behind a mask, a double chin can spoil an attractive face shape. While many may attribute double chin to general weight gain, the reality is that it can also be caused by different factors – including genetics! In many cases, losing weight doesn’t help us to lose the “extra chins.”

A permanent and clinically proven method to remove a double chin is through facial liposuction. It is a surgical procedure to remove fat from your jawline and jowls, so you no longer have to depend on your mask to hide it. It is carried out by Dr. Ivan Puah, a MOH liposuction accredited doctor and medical director of Amaris B. Clinic. Facial liposuction is a delicate facial sculpting procedure that aims to remove fat, contour and define the jawline and tighten saggy skin for a more youthful appearance.

#2 Combatting facial volume loss and hollowness

Ageing in our skin can show up as early as in our 30s, exacerbated by stress and trauma. Exhaustion from work, parenting, and other areas of life can take a toll on the skin! Fat grafting for facial rejuvenation is a popular procedure for this.

Also known as ADR-C Facial Enhancement, this treatment involves small amounts of fat tissue taken from your abdomen or thighs and injected into areas of concern to effectively target volume loss on sunken cheeks, smooth out fine lines around the eyes, and improve skin texture and tone. As the procedure uses your fat sources to rejuvenate and volumise your face, the result is au naturel and long-lasting!

#3 Skin lifting

Suppose you’d like to tighten and lift your skin with a non-invasive procedure. In that case, Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared, non-invasive procedure that lifts the skin, neck, and eyebrows and improves lines and wrinkles on the decolletage. It uses micro-focused ultrasound to generate thermal effects beneath the skin, inducing your body’s process to create fresh, new collagen.

Results can be seen over two to three months as new collagen works to lift the skin from within; the effect continues to improve for three to six months and can last a year or more. Amaris B. is one of the only clinics in Singapore to provide an authentic Ultherapy treatment.

#4 Repairing and restoring skin

A definite downside of constantly wearing a mask is ‘maskne’, the breakout from irritation caused by the coverage on your face. Although the mask conveniently hides acne scars, large pores, uneven skin pigmentation, and the results of sun damage, the issues don’t go away.

Pico Fractional Laser is a treatment that can help repair, restore, and rejuvenate the skin, so you can proudly show off a clear face when the mask is off.

Who is conducting the procedures?

When making permanent changes in your appearance, Amaris B. Clinic suggests a cautious approach; try to source experienced, credible and approved doctors. Besides being accredited by MOH to perform liposuction in Singapore, Dr Ivan Puah has also received his Master's training in injectables. He is the appointed trainer for fellow doctors, such as Injectable Neurotoxins and Dermal Fillers. With over 15 years of experience in facial aesthetics and body sculpting, you can expect professional advice and recommendations that don’t compromise your well-being.

It’s nice that your face looks attractive with the mask on, but let’s get it looking even more attractive without it!
