Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers
What is Restylane® Kysse

Dubbed as the gold standard of lip fillers, Restylane® Kysse is a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler that’s designed specifically for our lips. Using XpresHAn™ Technology, it provides flexible movement and natural-looking volume while enhancing the texture and colour of the lips.

Benefits of Restylane Kesse
  • Luscious, plumped lips

  • Soft, natural-looking results

  • Smooths lip lines and wrinkles

  • Enhances the colour of your lips

  • Allows for flexible lip movements

  • More defined, volumized, and youthful lips

  • Longer-lasting results as compared to other lip fillers

  • Immediate results with zero downtime

What to Expect

Step 1

All Restylane® Kysse fillers come with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to ensure that your treatment is relaxing and entirely comfortable. Initially, a topical anesthetic will be applied on the injection site to numb the area.

Step 2

Our aesthetic doctor will begin the procedure with the first injection using an ultra-fine needle, before taking a pause to allow the lidocaine in Restylane® Kysse to further numb the lip area.

Step 3

The procedure then continues until the treated area shows the desired results. Thereafter, the injected area will be massaged to ensure that the filler gel is distributed evenly across the lips for natural results.

Are there any before and after photos of Restylane® Kysse results?

As dictated by Ministry of Health, we are not allowed to publish ‘before’ and ‘after’ images of aesthetic treatments. If you are interested in seeing the full before-and-after results please provide us with your name and email below, and we will send the images to your email address.

Restylane Kysse Frequently Asked Questions
Am I an ideal candidate for Restylane® Kysse Lip Fillers?

Patients should not use Kysse lip filler if they:

  • Have a history of severe allergic reactions.

  • Have had a previous allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid fillers.

  • Are allergic to anesthetics, like lidocaine.

While both of these are hyaluronic acid lip fillers, they have slightly different formulas. Restylane® Kysse adds volume and enhances your existing lip shape and symmetry to create smooth, natural-looking lips. It can also treat smoker’s lines, or commonly known as wrinkles around the mouth.

Juvederm, on the other hand, is a great option for patients who are looking for a more voluminous look. When deciding on which lip filler, it depends on the look you want to achieve.

Due to the different formulations, Restylane® Kysse has a unique structure that lasts longer than other fillers. Most dermal lip fillers last around 9 months, however you can expect results lasting up to 12 months with Restylane® Kysse.

The discomfort experienced during the treatment varies from person to person and depends on factors such as:

  • Sensitivity of the patient

  • Pain tolerance of the patient

  • Anxiety level of the patient

Restylane® Kysse comes with anesthetic inside the gel already, hence discomfort is at its minimum.

All lip fillers have some mild side effects. You may experience some slight swelling and bruising on the injected area, but these should go away within 7 days.

  • As with other lip fillers treatment, a cold compress may be applied to the injected area to reduce swelling.

  • Avoid touching the injected area for at least 6 hours so that you do not accidentally injure your skin while the area is numb. Thereafter, the treatment area can be gently washed with soap and water.

  • Minimise strenuous exercise and exposure to excess heat, sun, or UV rays for the first 24 hours. Exposure to these may cause temporary redness, swelling, or itching at the treated area.

Full aftercare instructions will also be provided after the treatment.

Acne

A commonly overlooked yet physically and psychologically scarring problem, acne is a long-drawn problem that commences at puberty and can drag on well into one’s 20s to 30s. Adult-onset acne is also common, commencing in one’s 20s to 30s and dragging on well beyond that. Caused mainly by accumulation of dead skin, bacterial infection and uncontrolled inflammation, acne is a rather well understood medical condition. Hormonal influences, genetic factors, and even proposed dietary influences are known to be the underlying drivers of acne in some too. Early intervention is the best solution – less acne translates to less scarring, saving you precious time and finances required in attempting to resurface those pesky scars later on.

Acne Treatments

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels consist of mild acids that, when applied to skin, promote controlled exfoliation of skin as well as inactivation of the sebaceous units responsible for breakouts.

Used as a complimentary form of treatment to existing topical therapy, chemical peels can quickly and effectively control most forms of acne.

3-5 sessions are typically required at 2 weekly intervals to bring acne under control, with subsequent sessions done every 4-6 weeks for maintenance.

Find out more about Chemical Peels

Carbon Peel

Using a specialised laser and a black carbon-based ink on the face, sebaceous glands can be targeted, bacteria killed, and mild exfoliation performed.

Sessions done at 2-4 weekly intervals can help keep acne bay while also helping to lighten any post-inflammatory pigmentation left by the acne and even reduce pore size.

 Find out more about Chemical Peels

AGNES

For the larger, stubborn and recurrent acne, the use of a highly selective probe to deliver high radio-frequency energy into the sebaceous unit effectively and permanently inactivates the gland.

This more permanent solution to acne allows for effective management of recurrent acne without having to resort to oral medication such as oral isotretinoin.

Cosmelan® Depigmentation masque is a painless, single session, clinic applied treatment that particularly suitable for stubborn and dense pigmentation. Cosmelan®’s synergistic ingredients effect quick, effective blending and elimination of undesirable pigment. Cosmelan® is “sun-friendly”, and works well even on darker toned Asian and Latin skin. Cosmelan® will also produce a slight initial “peel” which helps refinish the skin surface while dramatically diminishing hyperpigmentation. This is followed by a specialised home skin care program to enhance, maintain and protect the new skin.

Treatment for Freckles and Pigmentation with Spectra Laser Toning
Spectra Laser Toning is an advanced treatment protocol that provides a gentle, safe, and effective treatment for stubborn blotchy hormonal pigmentation known as melasma. Spectra treatments also help with generalised pigmentation issues, redness, pore size, unwanted hair, acne, rosacea, and gently tightens and refreshes the skin. It is a favourite as there is no downtime or healing time.

Treatment for Freckles and Pigmentation with Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) – Sciton BBL
BBL/IPL treatments are the treatment of choice for reversing the signs of sun-damaged skin. It will gently reduce excess pigmentation on sun exposed areas of the body including the face, neck, chest, hands, and arms. In addition to treating brown spots, this light source treats redness, broken blood vessels, shrinks pore size, tightens skin, and can help with acne and rosacea. Maximum benefits are achieved with a series of 2 to 3 treatments.

Treatment for Freckles and Pigmentation with Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
Fractional Carbon Dioxide (CO2) laser skin resurfacing treatments even out skin colouring by removing the dull, damaged, outer layer of skin; while minimising downtime. In addition to treating pigmentation, these laser treatments will also improve skin texture, redness, pore size, and wrinkles, repairing sun damaged or acne-scarred skin, and treat pre-cancerous skin lesions.

Tattoo Removal
Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Newer methods of treatment are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Tattoos, while easily placed, are much more complicated to erase. Existing therapies involve the use of nano-second Q-switched lasers, but treatments prove difficult with many requiring 2-3 years of repeated visits at 2-3 monthly intervals. Newer methods of treatment involve the use of newly developed pico-second lasers. These lasers, firing many times faster than conventional Q switched lasers, fracture pigments more effectively. In effect, treatments are more reliable, and total time required for tattoo removal can be shortened to less than a year.

Here at The Aesthetic Studio, we employ the use of the Lutronic Picoplus Pico-second laser for optimal tattoo removal; with 4 wavelengths of light at your disposal, removal of tattoos of varying colour and complexity just got easier.

Tattoo Removal Treatment
Tattoo Removal

With a high energy output, a wide range of precisely controllable fluence output and four wavelengths of light for increased versatility, the Picoplus Pico-second laser is optimised for tattoo removal and pigment management. 

Depending on tattoo complexity, 5-10 sessions may be required at monthly intervals for optimal clearance.

Combination with ablative lasers may be advised to reduce post-laser blistering commonly associated with tattoo removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nose Thread Lift

Achieve a higher, more defined nose without surgery with our nose thread lift in Singapore, often called a “lunchtime nose lift” due to its quick treatment and minimal downtime.

Using the signature Korean HIKO technique, biocompatible threads are carefully placed along the bridge, tip, and columella to lift, sculpt, and stimulate collagen, creating natural, long-lasting definition.

Designed for Asian noses, the HIKO Nose Thread Lift raises flat or low bridges, sharpens and projects the tip, and refines broad or bulbous noses for a slimmer, more contoured profile. Compared to standard nose thread lifts, HIKO’s structured thread placement delivers a more dramatic lift with sharper definition.

Nose Thread Lift

The HIKO Nose Thread Lift targets the structural foundation of the nose with precise thread placement on the key structural areas of the nose. This technique helps refine contours, improve nasal symmetry, and create a more balanced facial profile, addressing multiple areas for comprehensive nose augmentation.

Full Nose Coverage and Results

Unlike single-area lifts that only target the bridge, the HIKO technique treats all critical regions of the nose. By targeting the bridge, tip, and columella, it provides structured nasal support for optimal results.

What Each Area Addresses

  • Nose Bridge Enhancement: Raises flat or low bridges for straighter, higher definition

  • Tip Projection & Refinement: Sharpens and slightly lifts the tip for a more elegant contour

  • Columella Support: Improves structure at the base of the nose for overall stability

  • Overall Nose Harmony: Refines broad or bulbous noses while keeping your natural features intact

With minimal downtime, you can return to daily activities immediately, all while achieving a sharper, more defined nose profile that complement your features.

PCL Nose Threads for Structured Lift

While nose thread lifts can be performed with PDO (polydioxanone) or PCL (polycaprolactone) threads, our clinic primarily focuses on PCL threads for patients seeking longer-lasting structural support and definition.

  • Longer Duration: PCL threads are absorbed more gradually and can provide results lasting up to 2 years.

  • Sustained Collagen Stimulation: They continue to stimulate collagen production during and even after the threads begin to break down. This collagen response helps maintain structural support and contour, allowing the effects of the nose thread lift to persist beyond the physical presence of the thread itself.

  • Higher Tensile Strength: PCL threads offer firmer scaffolding for nose bridge elevation and tip projection, supporting more defined shaping.

  • Reduced Maintenance: Due to their durability and extended collagen response, PCL threads typically require fewer touch-up sessions.

Because of these longer-lasting effects, PCL threads involve a higher upfront cost compared to PDO. However, many patients prefer this option for its sustained definition and reduced need for repeat treatments.

Meet Our Doctor

Dr. Jonathan Lee is a medical doctor practicing in Singapore with over 20 years of clinical experience. His practice includes injectables and minimally invasive facial procedures, including nose thread lift treatments.

In aesthetic medicine, careful assessment of facial proportions is important to achieve balanced results. A nose that is over-elevated or excessively projected may affect overall facial harmony.

Each nose thread lift begins with an assessment of facial angles, bridge height, tip rotation, and profile balance. The treatment plan is designed to enhance definition in a manner that complements the individual’s facial features.

Individual results may vary depending on your baseline nasal anatomy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a nose thread lift?

A nose thread lift is a non-surgical procedure that enhances the shape and definition of the nose using absorbable medical threads. These threads are inserted beneath the skin to lift the bridge, refine the tip, and improve overall contour without the need for surgical rhinoplasty.

Unlike surgery, a nose thread lift does not involve implants or permanent structural changes to bone or cartilage. The threads act as a supportive scaffold and also stimulate collagen production, helping to maintain improved definition over time.

This procedure is commonly chosen by individuals who want a higher nose bridge, better tip projection, or improved profile balance with minimal downtime.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so most patients experience minimal discomfort. During thread placement, you may feel gentle pressure or a slight pulling sensation, but it is generally well-tolerated.

Many patients report that the procedure is quick and comfortable, often describing it as easier than expected.

During a nose thread lift, fine absorbable threads are carefully inserted into targeted areas of the nose using small entry points under local anaesthesia.

The threads serve two functions:

  1. Immediate mechanical lift – They provide structural support to elevate and shape the bridge and tip.

  2. Collagen stimulation – The presence of the threads triggers the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen production around the treated areas.

Even after the threads gradually dissolve, the collagen formed helps maintain improved contour and support.

The results of a nose thread lift typically last between 1 to 2 years, depending on factors such as:

  • The type of threads used

  • Individual metabolism

  • Skin quality

  • Lifestyle factors

Thread materials differ in durability. PDO threads are absorbed more quickly, generally lasting around 6–12 months, whereas PCL threads break down more slowly and can provide structural support for up to 2 years.

In addition, both thread types stimulate collagen, but the longer-lasting PCL threads allow for extended collagen formation, helping maintain contour and definition even after the threads dissolve.

Because of their durability and collagen-stimulating effect, our doctors prefer using PCL threads for patients seeking longer-lasting results with fewer maintenance sessions, while PDO threads can still be suitable for milder treatments.

A nose thread lift may be suitable for individuals who:

  • Have a low or flat nose bridge

  • Desire improved tip projection

  • Want enhanced profile definition

  • Prefer a non-surgical alternative to rhinoplasty

It is generally best suited for mild to moderate structural nose enhancement. A doctor’s consultation is required to assess nasal anatomy, skin thickness, and suitability for treatment.

The HIKO technique is a structured approach to nose thread lift that focuses on enhancing the height of the bridge and refining the nasal tip using multiple threads placed in specific vectors.

The term “HIKO” refers to achieving a higher and more defined nose profile. This technique emphasises structural support and careful anatomical planning to create balanced, proportionate results.

Not all nose thread lifts follow the same method, and the exact approach may vary depending on your doctor’s technique.

A nose thread lift is a minimally invasive procedure with relatively short downtime. Most patients can resume normal daily activities immediately, making it ideal for those seeking a “lunchtime” enhancement.

Some mild effects are normal in the first few days, including:

  • Slight swelling

  • Minor bruising

  • Tenderness at thread entry points

These typically settle quickly, and any visible signs are usually minimal. To support optimal healing, patients are advised to avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or pressure on the nose for the first few days.

Overall, the downtime is much shorter compared to surgical rhinoplasty, allowing you to enjoy improved nasal contour with minimal disruption to your routine.
