Not every part of your face reacts to hybrid filler the same way, and placing it in the wrong area can leave you with results you never asked for.

It's most commonly used to support jawline definition, restore volume in a softened midface or lateral cheeks, and in select cases, address early laxity and crepiness on the neck.

Where it's placed isn't a matter of preference, it's determined entirely by your anatomy, assessed during a full facial consultation before anything is planned.

The FDA has cleared Ultherapy PRIME for the knees.

In August, Merz Aesthetics announced clearance for improving the appearance of skin laxity on the knees, making it the first energy based aesthetic device to carry an indication for that area.

Something that does not get said often enough in our field: congratulations to Merz Aesthetics, and thank you for doing the unglamorous part of the work.

Most of the body below the jawline has been treated off label for years. Practitioners learned knees, arms and elbows from each other, at meetings, from borrowed slide decks, from whatever a colleague was generous enough to share. That is how innovation starts. It is not how it should stay. When a manufacturer funds the studies and takes an indication through regulatory review, practitioners gain something word of mouth cannot give them: parameters, patient selection criteria and anatomical boundaries with accountability attached.

We have also spent efforts to advance our field, with our medical director, Dr Sylvia publishing in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology in 2021 on combining microfocused ultrasound with visualisation and subdermal calcium hydroxyapatite for laxity of the upper arms (link in comment). We measured skin firmness and elasticity with instruments rather than relying on impressions, and we followed patients out to six months.

Doing that work taught us how much the body asks of you. Depth selection changes with the tissue in front of you. The anatomy underneath decides where you stop. Patient selection matters more off the face than on it, because the arms and the knees will show you very quickly when someone was never a candidate. None of that is obvious, and none of it should have to be learned privately, one clinic at a time.

More indications, more data, better guidelines. That is how a field earns its credibility.

Notice intimate skin losing some of its firmness over time? Non-invasive options now exist to help.

Using radiofrequency and ultrasound technology, this treatment safely and gently restores delicate intimate tissue, both external and internal, by stimulating collagen and improving blood flow. That means tighter, firmer tissue, less dryness and discomfort, enhanced intimacy, and support for urinary incontinence.

Cloud cover can be misleading when you plan sun protection in Singapore.

The UV Index can reach Very High and Extreme levels, especially around midday on clear days. Check the UV Index instead of judging exposure only by how bright the sky looks.

Shade, protective clothing and broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher all have a role. Reapply sunscreen as directed, particularly after sweating. If you recently had a laser procedure, follow the instructions from your doctor.

Cutis encourages daily photoprotection.
