With the number of popular ingredients and buzzwords these days, it can be overwhelming to do research and digest skincare information. It’s a good thing Dr. Davin Lim, a board-certified dermatologist based in Brisbane, Australia, provides bite-sized content on social media and the video streaming platform YouTube for a better understanding of dermatology.
Dr. Lim veers away from the often jargon-heavy side of the field, making it easier for regular individuals to grasp essential information about skincare. He stands out not only for his medical expertise but also for his ability to demystify dermatology for non-medical audiences. He turns it from an intimidating subject into one that everyone can comprehend and navigate, very much like a friend casually discussing things with you.
With a mission to cut out the hype and mystery of the skin care industry, Dr. Lim has become a trusted voice in the field, providing valuable skincare insights. From dissecting the intricacies of various skincare products to sharing do-it-yourself (DIY) techniques and delving into the world of advanced skin procedures like lasers, peels, injectables, and surgery, Dr. Lim covers it all with the mission to share useful information.
In a one-on-one interview during his visit to the country earlier this month, Dr. Lim helped me understand the new technology of a power duo – Potenza RF microneedling and the AnteAGE MDX Exosome Solution. He described the new treatment as a step up from microneedling.
“We’re using needles, very fine microneedles. We’re adding something called radio frequency and it generates heat. Heat, itself, does wonderful things for the skin. It can remodel scarring, tighten up the skin, reduce wrinkles, and treat large pores as well.”
In the Philippines, the services are offered at the Facial Care Centre at GT Tower in Makati.
Dr. Lim explained that Potenza Radio Frequency (RF) microneedling seamlessly combines two established methods for rejuvenating the skin: microneedling for mechanical stimulation, initiating skin renewal, and monopolar radio frequency energy for thermal stimulation, enhancing neocollagenesis or the process of creating new collagen. Essentially, it integrates controlled heat energy into the microneedles, providing a dual impact of youth-enhancing benefits to the skin.
The ideal combination to the Potenza procedure is the AnteAGE MDX Exosome Solution, ensuring optimal outcomes by guiding your cells to naturally promote skin regeneration, alleviate inflammation, and stimulate healthy collagen growth, effectively reversing the aging process of the skin.
What are exosomes?
Exosomes, lipid nanoparticles released by cells, serve as messengers to communicate with other cells, playing a vital role in overseeing biological processes within the body. In the context of the skin, this implies that exosomes play a key role in signaling the skin to engage in beneficial actions such as increasing the production of healthy collagen, reducing inflammation, and promoting skin renewal.
AnteAGE MDX Exosome Solution is a unique treatment that combines exosomes from human bone marrow and umbilical cord stem cells, known for their anti-inflammatory and healing properties. This high-quality and pure formula stands out as a potent exosome treatment unlike any other.
If there’s one thing Dr. Lim said that stuck with me, it would be the major skincare rule he swears by – Be intentional. “Everything that you put on [your skin] should be thoughtful. If you want to change, pick an ingredient for your concerns,” Dr. Lim shared. “The biggest mistake I see is people just using too much stuff. If you’re focused on using one or two things according to your concern and be very precise with your skincare, you’ll get your skincare goals a lot better than trying everything.”
