When it comes to turning back the clock to restore younger, healthier skin, our eyes and ears are always peeled for the latest aesthetic treatments available. A new treatment, Heaven Glow, is rising in popularity as the newest antiaging treatment to try. Read on to find out what it is and why you should include this in your beauty regime.

What is Heaven Glow?

Heaven Glow is a micro-injection treatment, performed only by doctors, aimed at rejuvenating and volumizing your skin from within. The essence of Heaven Glow lies in its two key ingredients, PDLLA (Poly-D, L-Lactic Acid) and Hyaluronic Acid.

As PDLLA is injected into the skin, the spherical particles dissolve and work to stimulate collagen production, effecting volume restoration and skin firmness – exactly what you need for younger-looking skin. What makes PDLLA even more unique is that it is the only filler that is specifically designed to achieve these results directly in the dermis layer.

Hyaluronic Acid as we all know helps with hydration in the skin thanks to its ability to retain moisture. It complements PDLLA to offer instant hydration and suppleness to the skin, and enhances skin texture and brightness on the face, including the forehead, tear troughs and temples.

The two ingredients work synergistically to offer skin firming and volumising effects that are especially beneficial for thinner skin types.

How is the procedure like?

Heaven Glow uses a specialised micro-injector with suction capacity to deliver these ingredients into the skin, minimising downtime and discomfort and ensures enhanced penetration into the skin. Prior to the treatment, your skin will be cleansed and with numbing cream applied for maximum comfort throughout the treatment. Most patients find the procedure very comfortable.

This method allows the doctor to customise the treatment for anyone between the ages of 20 and 80 to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and even acne scars.

Is there any downtime?

Immediately after the treatment, the skin will appear red, with some raised bumps where the microinjector was placed. There is no downtime so you can resume your regular activities after the treatment.

Within 12 hours, the redness dissipates and in 24 hours, all redness and bumps would have resolved. You will notice an immediate glow to the skin thanks to the hyaluronic acid. The volumizing and firming effects from PDLLA however will take a few months to show as the skin takes time to rejuvenate from within.
