Subtle Sculpting: The Hyaluronic Acid Treatment That Helps Restore Facial Volume
This new bioremodelling injectable from La Clinic lifts, enhances facial contours and boosts elasticity for a smoother, more youthful appearance
By Harper's BAZAAR Singapore - published
In the search for non-surgical lifting treatments, innovative treatments are emerging to meet the growing demand for natural and subtle results. One standout is the Hybrid Cooperative Complex for Structure at La Clinic, a new hyaluronic acid bioremodelling treatment that won Best Lifting & Firming Treatment at the Harper’s BAZAAR Spa & Aesthetics Awards this year.
Unlike traditional fillers that physically add volume, this non-invasive treatment takes a regenerative approach. It rebuilds the skin’s underlying support structures and activates fat cells to subtly restore facial contours—helping to firm, lift and plump the skin from within.
Behind the procedure at La Clinic is aesthetic physician and medical director Dr Rachel Ho. Known for her evidence-based approach and educational content on social media, Dr Ho spent two years travelling to Milan to study the treatment firsthand before bringing it to her clinic.

The Future of Subtle Sculpting
Ageing often leads to a loss of facial volume due to diminishing fat pads, resulting in sagging skin and less defined contours. Hybrid Cooperative Complex for Structure is designed to address this by lipolifiting.
The Hybrid Cooperative Complex for Structure is administered by a blunt-tipped needle technique to minimise discomfort and reduce the risk of bruising. The treatment is administered via one injection site on each cheek and distributed gently and precisely into the superficial fat pads, activating the adipocytes for contouring and lifting. The treatment ends with a recovery treatment to improve recovery and reduce any swelling.
Each treatment dose contains 45mg of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid and 45mg of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid in a 2ml syringe. The formula integrates into the skin and activates dormant fat cells, which gradually reposition and restore lost volume over time.

The boost in cellular activity also prompts increased collagen and elastin production, improving firmness and elasticity while refining facial harmony. Expect enhanced structural support in the lower face, as skin becomes visibly plumper and smoother, counteracting age-related drooping skin and flattening of facial angles, leading to lifted laugh lines, reduced jowls and improvement in the jaw line definition.
An increased production of collagen and elastin also leads to improved facial harmony, redefined facial contours, and increased skin firmness and elasticity over time. The treatment protocol calls for two sessions, spaced one month apart, with little to no downtime.
