How We Can Help

At M-Aesthetic, we are committed to helping you improve your skin, leaving it clear and glowing. We treat various skin disorders like acne, acne scars, pigmentation, melasma, sagging skin and enlarged pores through customised treatment plans to address your skin concerns.

Acne

Acne is a common skin disorder that affects people of all ages. Our professional-grade treatments make getting rid of acne easier and help restore your skin’s health and natural skin tone.

What is Acne?

Acne is a skin disorder caused when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts, mainly on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders.

Acne is more than just a skin condition affecting people of all ages and genders; it can have a profound impact on mental health in the form of low self-esteem, anxiety and depression. More severe or recurrent cases have the potential to lead to permanent scarring and hyperpigmentation, resulting in further psychological distress.

Types of Acne

Whiteheads

Small, flesh-coloured bumps caused when pores are blocked by sebum and dead skin cells.

Blackheads

Develop when dirt in an open pore gets trapped and oxidised, turning it black.

Papules

Small, red, inflamed bumps from infected clogged pores.

Pustules

Similar to papules but are filled with pus. They appear as red, inflamed bumps with a white or yellow centre.

Nodules

Large, painful lumps that live deep within the skin and usually require professional medical treatment due to the potential of scarring.

Cystic Acne

Severe acne is characterised by large, pus-filled cysts that develop deep within the skin, which can be painful and cause severe scarring.

Acne Scars

Acne scars are residual marks from previous blemishes that can form as shallow or deep indentations. Understanding the formation of these scars and available treatment options is important for better skin confidence.

How Are Acne Scars Caused?

Acne scars form as a result of inflammation caused by clogged pores filled with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, damaging the skin’s collagen and elastin fibres. New collagen is produced as a natural part of body healing, but irregularities may cause raised (hypertrophic) or depressed scars, also known as atrophic scars.

Types of Acne Scars

Atrophic Scars are characterised by tissue loss, leading to skin depressions. Subtypes of atrophic acne scars are:

How We Treat Acne Scars at M-Aesthetic?

Fractional Co2 Laser

Uses powerful carbon dioxide laser technology to destroy scar tissue, improve skin texture and resurface the layers of your skin.

Subcision

A specialised technique aimed at breaking up the tethering scar tissue underneath a depressed scar.  This releases the scar tissue that pulls down on the skin so that the skin’s surface can be smoothened out.

TCA Cross

This is for ice-pick scars, and it entails the precise application of very high concentration trichloroacetic acid to induce remodelling underneath a scar. This “fills” the scar up to make the skin level again. 

To be done only by medical professionals only.

Microneedling Radiofrequency

Microneedling and radio frequency combined to help destroy scar tissue and stimulate collagen production. Gold-plated microneedles penetrate deep into the skin and scars and fires out intense Radiofrequency energy.

Acne Scar Filler

Injecting hyaluronic acid filler into indented scars helps lift and smooth flatten depressed scars.  Results are immediate with minimal / no downtime.

Pigmentation & Melasma

Pigmentation and melasma are common skin concerns characterised by dark patches or spots that can easily affect your confidence and complexion.

How are Pigmentation & Melasma Formed?

Pigmentation and melasma are caused by the excessive production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye colour. 

UV radiation, hormonal changes, and genetic predispositions help trigger melanin synthesis, which is regulated by melanocytes in the basal layer of the epidermis.

Types of Pigmentation

Skin with Solar Lentigines

Solar Lentigines

Sunspots from prolonged UV exposure, commonly on the face, hands, and arms.

Melasma

Brown patches on the face due to hormonal changes and with genetics playing a role as well, often during pregnancy or from birth control.

Skin with Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Dark patches following skin injury or inflammation like acne or burns.

Skin with freckles

Freckles (Ephelides)

Genetic, light brown spots that increase with sun exposure, common in lighter skin tones.

Skin with moles

Nevus (Moles)

Varying from brown to black, typically benign but should be monitored for changes indicating skin cancer.

Factors That Cause Pigmentation

Sun Exposure

Hormonal Changes

Genetic Predisposition

Sagging Skin

A common issue many people face is sagging skin, which can affect all parts of the body, as well as confidence levels.

Woman's Lower Face with Wrinkles

What is Sagging Skin?

Sagging skin is a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin, causing it to droop and hang from the body.

Why Does Skin Sagging Happen?

Ageing is the main reason for sagging skin as the body produces far less collagen and elastin, which are both essential proteins necessary to sustain skin firmness and elasticity. As we age, the skin eventually loses its elasticity and ability to bounce back, so it starts to droop.

Factors That Cause Sagging Skin

Sun Exposure

Ultra-violet (UV) rays can damage the collagen and elastin fibres.

Weight Fluctuations

The rapid loss or gaining of weight tends to stretch the skin.

Genetics

These play an essential role in how fast your skin is naturally prone to ageing.

Lifestyle Choices

Smoking, drinking alcohol and a bad diet all contribute to premature ageing of your skin

Environment

Pollution and weather conditions can wear out the skin texture with time.

How is Sagging Skin Treated at M-Aesthetic Clinic?

HIFU (High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound)

This technique directs focused ultrasound energy deep into the skin to promote collagen production for firmer, less lax skin.

Enlarged Pores

Enlarged pores and bumpy, uneven skin texture are common skincare issues. These problems can make the skin look rough and contribute to other skin conditions, such as acne and blackheads, as they accumulate more dirt, oil or bacteria. Understanding the causes and most suitable treatment helps you to get smooth, radiant skin.

How Are Enlarged Pores Formed?

Pores are tiny little openings on the surface of your skin where sweat and oil are released. While they are necessary and good for our skin, when they become enlarged, they are more noticeable. Enlarged pores often occur when:

  • Pores get clogged due to excessive oil production.
  • Dead skin cells accumulate and block the pores.
  • Skin loses elasticity as it ages, causing the pores to expand.

Factors That Cause Enlarged Pores

Genetics

If your parents have large pores, you are also more likely to experience them.

M-Aesthetic icon

Age

Skin loses its firmness and elasticity as we age, making pores appear larger.

Sun Damage

Overexposure to the sun can thicken the skin and cause pores to expand.

Improper Skincare

Not cleansing properly can result in clogged and enlarged pores.

What Can Be Done to Treat Enlarged Pores?

To control and minimise the appearance of enlarged pores, a regular skincare routine that includes cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturising is essential. 

Additionally, professional treatments work wonders in refining skin texture and shrinking the pore size.

Skin Quality

Beautiful, healthy skin is a reflection of your well-being. However, skin concerns can take a toll on your complexion, making it less vibrant and smooth. Typical skin conditions, such as dry skin, ageing, dull or flaky skin, and sensitive skin, can affect your skin’s quality, as well as your self-confidence.

Causes of Poor Skin Quality

  • Environmental Exposure: Pollutants and UV radiation can damage your skin.
  • Ageing: Natural ageing processes decrease collagen and elastin production.
  • Lifestyle Choices: Diet, hydration, and stress levels impact skin health.
  • Genetics: Your genetic makeup can predispose you to certain skin conditions.

Types of Poor Skin Quality

Dry Skin

Lacks the necessary moisture to maintain a supple and smooth texture, which can cause discomfort, irritation, and an uneven skin tone.

Ageing Skin

Skin loses its elasticity and firmness as we age, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging.

Dull Skin

Without healthy, radiant skin, you can look tired and aged, even if you feel full of energy.

Flaky Skin

Often due to extreme dryness or skin conditions like eczema, it can cause irritation and a rough texture that is hard to manage.

Sensitive Skin

Is highly susceptible to external factors; it leads to redness, itching, and discomfort.

Factors That Cause Poor Skin Quality

Environmental elements
(pollution, UV exposure)

Lifestyle habits
(diet, smoking, alcohol consumption)

Genetic predisposition

Stress and lack of sleep

Inadequate skin care routine
