Problem: Pigmentation Solution: Cosmelan-amf What: Cosmelan by Mesoestetic is a depigmentation peel treatment that first established itself as a cult treatment in Hollywood, and now, it is relaunched in a new formulation as Cosmelan-amf, which is more efficacious yet more suitable for sensitive skin types. Essentially, it is a two-step treatment that involves a physician-grade, leave-on exfoliation mask-cum-peel to be applied at the clinic (to be washed off at home later), and DIY home-maintenance with creams and a sunblock. It dramatically lightens both hormonal- and scarring-related pigmentation, and even has the ability to alleviate acne. Unlike harsh acid peels, it does not result in downtime nor severe flaking and redness.

Problem: Dehydrated and blemished skin Solution: IYAC Signature Gel Mask What: This innovative gel mask uses carbon dioxide to improve circulation and healing in the skin's tissues. Designed as a home treatment, it is a simple treatment whereby a mixture you apply onto your skin infuses a high concentration of carbon dioxide into your blood vessels, which then causes your tissues to release oxygen to kickstart your very own natural rejuvenation process. Regular use delivers dramatic results equivalent to in-clinic treatments.

Problem: Rough, wrinkly hands Solution: LinC Hand Rejuvenation Programme

http://www.asiatatler.com/singapore/beauty/8-new-aesthetic-treatments-face-and-body What: The hands are usually one of the first body parts to betray one's age. If your hardworking hands are already showing signs of age, and applying hand creams is not salvaging the situation, give those digits a rejuvenating treat with this specially tailored programme. It is a three-step process involving a gentle exfoliating peel-cum-hand massage, followed by a moisturising mask-cum-wrap to infuse hyaluronic acid deep into skin to plump out hollows, ending with a hand rejuvenation cream to boost elasticity and skin tone. The result is smooth, silky soft and more translucent skin on the hands. Where: LinC Aesthetic Clinic, #21-01/02 Liat Towers, Tel: 6732-0208 www.linc.com.sg

Problem: Unwanted hair Solution: Selectif Pro What: Hair removal treatments have always been associated with significant pain, and certain permanent solutions are unable to target darker skin tones and fine, light or white hair. Selectif Pro, an ultra-sound system, is one new offering that ensures permanent and precise hair removal for all hair colours, on any skin tone. Most of all, it is truly painless, which makes it perfect for shaping the eyebrow or bikini line, or targeting delicate areas like the upper lip, chin and underarm. It is also free of side effects.

This DIY home treatment only involves wearing a helmet that uses painless, heat-free "cold" laser and LED light to awaken hair roots, stimulate growth, and prolong the lifespan of follicles. The hands-free headwear comes with an automated handset with embedded headphones that can be plugged into your music player, so you can multitask while sitting through your 20 to 25min session just twice or thrice weekly.

Problem: Love handles Solution: CoolSculpting What: Adequate exercise and a healthy diet do nothing to eliminate the layer of stubborn fat around your waistline, and yet you're not just about to go for fat-busting injections or a traumatic surgical procedure. To the rescue comes CoolSculpting, which uses a precisely controlled cooling method called cryolipolysis to target, cool and eliminate fat cells without damage to neighbouring tissue, and nor is there downtime. It involves drawing up your fatty bulge between two cooling panels, and chilling the section during a one- to three-hour procedure, during which you may relax, nap or read. Post-treatment, your body will flush out the dead fat cells naturally for up to six months. Results may be seen as quickly as three weeks, but the most dramatic results come after two months.
