“Beauty is pain.” We've all heard that saying. For many, it has been a mantra throughout their journey to improve themselves. But in recent years, new cosmetic treatments have been introduced, promising more natural-looking results. The latest to do so is Luminisce, one of the Philippines' leaders in skincare and wellness.
Recently, Luminisce added Teoxane Glowing Lift to its array of advanced aesthetic treatments. Developed by the renowned Teoxane Laboratories, this dermal filler is ground-breaking, as it boosts skin radiance and enhances facial contours without surgery and with minimal downtime, thanks to cutting-edge hyaluronic acid technology.
The science behind the glow
What makes Luminisce’s Teoxane Glowing Lift unique is its multilayering technique. Unlike traditional filler methods, which inject filler into a single skin layer, this advanced technique places small amounts of filler into multiple layers of the skin.
“Our multilayering technique allows us to achieve a more precise and natural outcome for our patients,” says Dr. Kaycee Reyes, founder and medical director of Luminisce. “By placing the filler in different layers of the skin, we can better enhance facial dynamics and deliver long-lasting, radiant results.”
During the process, carefully selected hyaluronic acid fillers address specific concerns—skin illumination, foundation, and correction. Like other regenerative treatments, it uses a substance naturally occurring in the human body to restore beauty. In this case, it is hyaluronic acid, which helps retain moisture and plump the skin.
Apart from the above-mentioned benefits, Teoxane Glowing Lift’s strength lies in its formula, thanks to the revolutionary RHA Technology. Compared to traditional fillers, its formula is designed to naturally adapt to facial movements. It gives a subtle yet effective lift without that jarring, botched look.
“Utilizing a unique manufacturing technique called Preserved Network Technology, Teoxane preserves the long chains of hyaluronic acid (HA) naturally found in the skin,” the clinic explains. “This minimizes the need for excessive cross-linking, allowing the filler to adapt to facial movements while maintaining the natural properties of HA. This innovation ensures that the treatment mimics the natural behavior of the skin, creating smooth and subtle enhancements that align with your facial expressions.”
After the treatment
During its launch, this author had the opportunity to try Luminisce’s Teoxane Glowing Lift. The process took around two to three hours, beginning with a consultation with the clinic’s dermatologist, followed by a discussion about the treatment and how it could help achieve the desired results.
EMLA cream was applied to minimize pain during the injection of the hyaluronic acid fillers. After the session, the results were immediately noticeable. Apart from the instant lift, especially around the cheekbones, there was a visible improvement in the under-eye area. Of course, there was some minor swelling in the treated area, which is why avoiding touching or washing the area overnight was advised.
A week after the treatment, the punctured area was completely healed. By weeks two and three, the skincare effects of the Teoxane Glowing Lift became more apparent, improving skin texture and reducing the appearance of discoloration.
All in all, the Teoxane Glowing Lift is a non-invasive alternative to traditional facelift surgery. Its beauty lies not only in how it augments facial structure but also in how it improves skin condition from within.
