What are Astute's
Facial Revitalising Injectables?
Astute's Facial Revitalising Injectable treatments offer a non-surgical alternative to smooth fine lines, enhance skin firmness and restore a refreshed appearance.
These treatments work by relaxing targeted facial muscles or improving skin elasticity, leading to a more youthful yet natural look.
With different approaches available at Astute, treatments can be customised based on individual concerns, such as softening expression lines, lifting certain areas, or refining skin texture.

Let us know your skin concerns
Your beauty journey with Astute starts here.
RevitaLift
RevitaLift belongs to a class of premier injections called neuromodulators, designed for fast-acting and natural-looking results.
It is often favoured for its ability to provide a "softer" finish, and the go-choice for smoothing larger areas without the "frozen" look.
Other injections in this class include Anti-Wrinkle Defy treatments. Both use a form of the same formula, but they’re used in different concentration levels to target different areas of the face.
RevitaLift Galbella (Frown Lines)
Softens the vertical "11" lines between the eyebrows for a calmer, more approachable look.
RevitaLift Forehead
Smooths horizontal creases across the brow; Dysprt’s spread is ideal for this broad area.
RevitaLift Crow's Feet
Minimizes fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes that appear when smiling or squinting.
RevitaLift Masseter (Jawline)
Relaxes the jaw muscles to slim the lower face and provide relief from teeth grinding (Bruxism).
RevitaLift Bunny Lines
Softens the small diagonal wrinkles on the bridge of the nose.
RevitaLift Gummy Smile
Subtly rolls the upper lip outward for a fuller, "poutier" look without the use of filler.
Anti-Wrinkle Defy
The Anti-Wrinkle Defy still remains the most recognised name in aesthetics, often known for its precision. It is the gold standard for targeted wrinkle relaxation and has the longest track record of safety and efficacy.
Due to a lower diffusion rate (meaning it stays exactly where it is placed), it is the recommended option for treating small, specific muscle groups without affecting the surrounding area.
Defy Galbella (Frown Lines)
Focused relaxation of the deep furrows between the brows for a smoother, rested look.
Defy Brows
Carefully placed injections to lift the tail of the brow, opening up the eye area.
Defy Crow's Feet
Targets the fine lines around the eyes while keeping the rest of the face expressive.
Defy Chin
Smooths the "orange peel" texture on the chin (peau d'orange) for a sleeker profile.
Defy Jawline
Relaxes the masseter muscles to soften a square jawline and create a V-shaped face.
Defy Hyperhidrosis
Blocks sweat glands in the underarms, palms, or feet for long-lasting dryness.
Lumi Skin
Lumi Skin, also commonly referred as Glass Skin Injectable, is a specialised injectation technique that targets the skin surface rather than the deeper facial muscles.
This treatment uses a highly diluted formulation delivered via multiple tiny, superficial injections just beneath the skin, thus allowing for skin refinement and texture improvement. It is particularly effective for those who want to improve their overall skin quality without changing their facial mechanics.
What is the difference between Lumi Skin and other revitalising injectables?
The key difference between Lumi Skin and traditional Anti-Wrinkle Defy treatments is that Lumi Skin is injected superficially into the skin, while Anti-Wrinkle Injection targets the facial muscles to block nerve activity.
Lumi Skin is a less intensive treatment, appealing to a wider range of people, especially younger individuals, as it addresses minor imperfections and fine lines.
In contrast, Anti-Wrinkle Defy is typically recommended for those in their mid-30s and older showing signs of aging.

Collagen Derma-Lift
Astute's Collagen Derma-Lift is a specialised injection technique designed to provide an immediate lifting and contouring effect without the "frozen" look of traditional muscle-relaxing injections.
While Defy targets the deep muscles to stop movement, a Derma-Lift targets the superficial layers of the skin and the fascia (the connective tissue) to create a mechanical "pull" or lift.
This technique involves injecting highly diluted units of a neuromodulator (either the formulations of Defy or Revitalift) intradermally (into the skin layer) along specific tension lines of the face.
This includes:
Vector Lifting
Injections are placed along the jawline, the perimeter of the face, and the cheekbones. This "tighter" skin envelope creates a subtle upward pull on the underlying structures.
Muscle Balancing
By targeting only the superficial fibers of the muscles that pull the face downward (depressor muscles), the elevator muscles (which pull the face up) can work more effectively, resulting in a natural lift.
Skin Tightening
Similar to Lumi Skin, it stimulates a minor smoothing effect on the skin's surface, reducing fine lines and "crepey" texture.
How will I know which treatments are best for me?
To soften deep, dynamic wrinkles, Anti-Wrinkle Defy can effective against frown lines and crow's feet, while Revitalift works quickly to smooth larger areas of for a naturally refreshed look.
For a subtle, preventative approach, Lumi-Skin works at a more superficial level to improve skin quality without affecting facial expressions. Conversely, for a subtle lifting effect and improved skin elasticity, Collagen Derma-Lift is designed to stimulate your natural collagen production for a firmer facial profile.
While this provides a general guide, the most effective approach is always personalised. We require all patients to have a comprehensive consultation with our medical doctors to thoroughly assess your unique concerns and determine the absolute best treatment plan for your skin.
