A recently published survey on medical oral photoprotection prescription in Asia revealed the top 3 reasons for such practice among Dermatologists and Medical Aesthetic practitioners:

☑ 46% Hyperpigmentation
☑ 30% Healthy sun exposure
☑ 14% Aging

Polypodium leucotomos extract (Fernblock®) from the Fern plant is a very well-studied photoprotectant - it can be taken orally or applied topically to help prevent skin cancers and photo-aging.

In its oral form, such photoprotecting supplements act as an antioxidant against free radicals caused by UV radiation. Studies have shown that they can reduce redness, sunburn and DNA damage.

How do you fit all these functions into a capsule for protection against sun-damage and aging?

Heliocare Luminance is formulated with various ingredients like Fernblock, Rosemary Extract, Glutathione and Nicotinamide to bring the synergistic effect that will inhibit formation of dark spots and factors involved causing premature skin photoaging.

In a clinical study conducted on hyperpigmentation in Asian women, Heliocare Luminance has shown significant improvement in hyperpigmentation, appearance of fine lines, skin brightness and hydration, with results visible in as early as 4 weeks.

Heliocare Luminance is an oral supplement with capsule of vegetable cellulose origin - available at Q Aesthetics Clinic.

Losing weight and eventually putting it back on is a tale as old as time. It’s a cycle that’s hard to break, and for many, one of life’s most frustrating endeavours. ��In attempting to lose weight, our first impulse is to go on a diet. But the sudden caloric deficit from improper diets can lead to changes in your appetite hormone levels and a slowing down of your metabolism, which makes you feel hungrier throughout the day.

Liraglutide helps with these changes by regulating your appetite — making you feel less hungry, and fuller with less food. This, in the long-run, can help sustain a caloric deficit, and eventually, weight loss.

Liraglutide injection 3 mg is an injectable prescription-only medicine used for adults with excess weight (BMI ≥27) who also have weight-related medical problems or obesity (BMI ≥30) to help them lose weight and keep the weight off. Liraglutide should be used with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Commonly asked question: During the COVID Pandemic, so many people have gone into exercising such as HIIT and other exercising fads. Does over-exercising lead to hair loss?

Firstly, normal, regular exercise DO NOT cause hair loss.

Only when there is prolonged, excessive exercise in the absence of appropriate recovery period and a balanced diet, then there may be hair loss.

We all need every little help we can get to protect the things we love – including our hair! Miriqa Hair supplement has several ingredients that can protect our hair when we face chronic stress conditions e.g. Biotin, Collagen, Keratin and Tocotrienol (Vitamin E super anti-oxidant).

Speak to us on how Miriqa Hair can help you on stress-induced hairloss. Call or WhatsApp us at 9720 8851 for enquiries and appointments.

Miriqa Hair has several ingredients that can protect our hair when we face chronic stress conditions and also the hair loss-inducing Dihydrotestosterone.

Saw Palmetto is a plant-based ingredient – it is a potent inhibitor of the enzyme that converts testosterone into its active form, DHT. Benefits:
- Prevents hair thinning
- Prevents prostate enlargement (for men)

Tocotrienols – that’s one of the potent versions of Vitamin E – it’s an antioxidant that reduces oxidative stress in the scalp, which is known to be associated with hair loss. Benefits:
- Stimulates hair growth
- Good for the skin, in general

While these two ingredients fight off hair loss from the ravages of genetic predisposition and stress factors, other ingredients such as collagen, biotin and keratin help maintain healthy and strong hair.
- Collagen: Hair shaft integrity; gives hair volume and retains its natural moisture.
- Biotin: Essential for hair and nail growth
- Keratin: Key structural protein; for full and glossy hair; less frizzy and easier to style

Commonly asked question: Why didn't Pico laser clear my pigmentations?
Pico lasers are not the end-all and be-all in the treatment of pigmentations.

The treatment of pigmentation require:
- a correct diagnosis of the pigmentary problem.
- a combination of depigmenting creams and anti-oxidants, with a combination of the appropriate types of lasers to address different biologic causes of pigmentation; sometimes additional combination with chemical peels and certain oral medications are used.
- a lot of patience, discipline and compliance to treatment intervals and strict sun-protection.

As such, Pico Laser alone (Pico Laser Monotherapy) may not always be the solution for many patients with pigmentations. Furthermore, the Asian skin, typically Fitzpatrick Types III, IV and V, are very tricky to treat. Strong laser settings with the most powerful lasers may not necessarily be the solution.

Individualised, combination treatment protocols are the way to go.
