Dr Sylvia’s Favorite Non-surgical Instant Face Lift

Written by: mkdept Date of published: . Posted in Latest Procedures, News & Updates

cosmetic Instant face-lift within 1 hour?  With the help of numbing cream, these clinic based procedures are almost painless and leave little to no trace immediately after procedures.

I find some of these procedures really wonderful and they are my favorite procedures!

HIFU Ultherapy

HIFU is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses focused ultrasound energy to cause very precise and specific deep tissue heating without disturbing the surface of the skin.

As the result, the collagen is rebuilt and remodelled, tighten the skin and deeper muscle layers, lifting the face, neck, chin and eyebrow.

Advantage: no-downtime, minimal to no discomfort, no cutting or injection and long lasting.

 

HYDRO LIFTimg1

By injecting hyaluronic acid with a superfine needle into the dermis evenly, hydro-lift plumps up the cells and lift up the face immediately. The skin becomes really glowing and radiance. Pores reduce almost instantly. The latest products that come with lignocaine makes it  a zero pain procedure. More advantage? Real collagen forms in the next 3-4 months. Therefore, the skin texture becomes smoother and after each injection. For fat loss patients, it adds volume to the face; change a sunken tired looked face to a refreshed oval shape face. Side effect? May have some small bruises that can be concealed with normal concealer. I usually have hydrolift once in 4-6 months for maintainence especially for the tear through.

LIQUID FACE LIFT

Filler volumization and BTA  dermatoxin injection are the main pillar of liquid face lift.

Face loses fat during aging process. This causes sunken cheek, under eye ring and temporal depression. By vulomizing theses areas with dermal filler, the face looks ten years younger instantly. The results last up to 18 months.

To tighten the skin and lift up the whole face, Botox and Dysport, the very well known examples of BTA can be injected along the jaw lines, forehead, eye areas in smaller amount to reduce the fine lines very naturally, makes the skin really smooth and at the same time lift up the whole face after 2-5 days. No real side effect and the effect lasts 4-6 months

THREAD LIFT

ultra v lift 2The latest Korean Thread lift is the most sought after new kids on the blocks. History of 4-5 years, the procedures uses PDO suture material to stimulate collagen. This suture has been used in cardiac surgery for over 50 years. Thus very safe. The thread, which is rather fine, will be inserted into the skin to stimulate new collagen. The skin will lift up immediately. After 4-6 months, as new collagen mature, the face will be lifted up, the skin texture, complexion and elasticity will improve tremedously.

Combined with PRP, the results will be even better! PRP is a technique to ‘extract’ own body’s growth factors from blood plasma. Blood will be taken from the vein in the normal blood taking way, put in a special kit, centrifuged and reinjected into the skin immediately to preserve the effectiveness of human growth factors. PRP  enhances collagen formation.

SCULPTRA

Sculptra Aesthetic is a type of facial injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, which helps to replace lost collagen. Sculptra Aesthetic replaces lost collagen within the deep dermis. The skin’s structure is reinforced as Sculptra Aesthetic helps to replace the lost collagen and provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness of the shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds* that has been depleted over time.

The result? Sculptra Aesthetic is different because it gradually and subtly corrects these facial wrinkles. This can provide a refined, more youthful looking appearance that can last more than two years. 

In Hong Kong and Taiwan, they call this “Natural-looking Anti-aging Injection ”

VENUS FREEZE LIFT

When less than 30 minutes is available, Venus Freeze is recommended.

Venus Freeze is a non-invasive treatment that combines Radio Frequency (RF) and Magnetic Pulses into a technology called (MP)². This unique combination has the ability to access deeply, comfortably, and safely into the skin in order to achieve optimum lifting results.

The procedure warms up the dermis up to 41 degree celcius or more. The skin tightens, becomes smoother and lift up intantly. Being one of the treatment with zero downtime, it enhances the skin before photo shooting, party and any major events.

Moreover, new collagen will be stimulated in the next 4 to 16 weeks to give a long lasting lifting effect. See how simple and comfortable it is at Venus Freeze on TV Show.

SUMMARY

HIFU lift: For very instant and long term results.

Thread Lift: Long lasting effect but 4 months needed for optimal effect.

Hydro Lift: Instant and some long lasting effect.

Liquid facelift: Instant but no long lasting effect.

Fat and weight reduction, what is effective?

Written by: mkdept Date of published: . Posted in News & Updates

weight fat loss

As we age, fat accumulates at unfavorable body parts such as tummy, thighs and arms. Tummy fat accumulation and double chin are commoner in men than women. Whereas women suffer from cellulite problem more than men because of the female hormone effects.

More and more people looks for not surgical and non-invasive option to reduce their body fat but what are really effective?

 

General Weight Reduction

In weight management, everyone should check their body mass index (BMI) as the index measures the health risk such as Type 2 Diabetic. Waist circumference is another important indicator as the reading reflects the visceral fat distribution.  The risk goes up with a waist size that is greater than 88cm for women or greater than 102cm for men.

If either one of the above indicator is high, general weight reduction is the first step.  Behavioral change such as dietary modification and physical activities is the key to success. Go for low glycemic index diet (Low GI). Failing that, physician can prescribe medication to suppress the appetite and block the fat absorption.  Most people can shed up to 10kg of weight easily with this help. However, behavioral change is necessary to maintain the weight.

Apart from medication, HCG is also found to be effective for general weight reduction in many patients. Compared to medication, there are less palpitation and lethargy.

However, sometimes people just wants to contour their body part especially tummy, flanks, thighs, bra fat, and arms. Then they may consider localized fat reduction.

Cool Sculpting

Zeltiq or Cool Sculpting uses cryolipolysis technique. The cooling panels freeze fatty tissue and trigger a cell-death process known as apoptosis. Dead fat cells are then cleared by the body. The treatment cools fat selectively without harming the healthy tissue, surrounding cells and the skin. Studies have measured at least 20 percent reduction of fat thickness after one treatment. It is FDA cleared for circumferential reduction on the flanks.

During the procedure, a device with cooling panels is strapped onto the area that is being treated. In the first few minutes, you may feel an intense cold feeling that usually goes away. Results are seen in about eight to 16 weeks.

High Intensity Ultrasound

Liposonix uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to noninvasively heat fat to 55 degreesCelsius.  During the treatment, which lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, the doctor will move the device around the treatment area. You may feel discomfort, cold, prickling, tingling or warmth. After the treatment, you may feel mild pain, or experience bruising, redness or swelling.

Skin Tightening

After excessive weight loss and fat reduction, the skin may be loose. There are treatments which can tighten the skin by stimulating new elastin and collagen tissues. In general, Radiofrequency technology is commonly applied for tightening. However, a good radiofrequency should generate even and deep tissue heating without hurting the superficial skin layer. The deep uniform heating action causes the structures in the skin and underlying tissue to immediately tighten.  Over time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to further tighten and contour skin. In short, even though RF can be effective, not all RF machine is effective.

PDO thread lift is another medical breakthrough for skin tightening of  face, neck, breast, tummy buttock and arm. PDO is a material used in cardiovascular surgery for over 50 years.  Few years ago, a Korean doctor proves that this material will stimulate new collagen and elastin when applied under the skin. The fine thread is applied under the skin  without leaving cut, stitches or scarring on the skin. Redness will disappear after few hours. Skin firming and tightening can be appreciated from 2-4 weeks onward. The thread will dissolve naturally after few months leaving behind the newly formed collagen to hold the body.
