How to trigger a Cascade of Healing in your skin

 

Have you ever thought about how your body heals itself after a cut?

It’s miraculous, really.

First, your blood clotting system jumps into action, stopping your blood from “leaking” through the wound.

Over the next three days, your body destroys bacteria and removes debris from the wound site, preparing the ground for a new bed of tissue.

In the third phase, your body fills the wound, creating fresh, healthy new skin. This can take anywhere up to 24 days!

Finally, over several months, the new tissue gets stronger and more flexible as your body creates more collagen fibres... until the skin looks as good as new.

Our bodies really are remarkable...

...But what’s even more remarkable is that scientists have found a way to use this natural process to give you a brighter, fresher, smoother complexion!

Microneedling is the process of deliberately creating tiny wounds in your skin, in a safe, controlled way.

This triggers the “Cascade of healing” I just described...

...Massively improving the appearance of pores, acne scars, wrinkles, sagging skin, stretch marks and just plain old dull skin.

It’s one of the most popular treatments in the world because it makes such a visible difference to your skin’s texture.

In fact, for many patients it’s a foundational treatment which they return to again and again, to keep their skin healthy.

Usually a special device called SkinPen is used for the microneedling. SkinPen, which is FDA-approved, looks like a thick pen but there are 14 microneedles at the tip.

Before treatment starts, a light numbing cream is applied onto the skin to keep  patient comfortable.

We then glide the pen over the skin, creating thousands of tiny “microinjuries.”

Although it may sound painful ,  patients are always surprised to discover this isn’t the case at all. It all happens so fast, so really not much is felt.

In fact, some people even find it quite relaxing and therapeutic. I think it’s the rhythm of the device...

One of the reasons we love SkinPen is that we can control the depth of the needles, so we can tailor the treatment to the exact needs of each individual's skin. So it’s very precise.

The treatment itself is quick - between 15 and 30 minutes and it is recommended anywhere from 1-6 treatments to see optimal results, depending on the issues being treated.

Once you leave the clinic, your face will look quite red, like you’ve got a sunburn, so you might like to spend the rest of the day at home and off-camera. But this should subside within 24 hours.

We’ll send you home with a calming, nourishing serum from SkinPen, which speeds up your recovery and improves your results.

Talking of results... You’ll usually see an improvement in the radiance and health of your skin within a week, so there’s some immediate gratification here!

But it does take time for that “cascade of healing” to play itself out, and for your body to generate new collagen and elastin. So it can take longer to see a difference with deeper skin issues like acne scars, fine lines and hyperpigmentation - as it does with all treatments building your collagen.

When that happens, though, you’ll love the results. Look at the difference that three SkinPen treatments have made to this 26-year-old patient with acne scars:

 








All the redness is gone after treatment, the scars are dramatically reduced and the skin is so much clearer and smoother.

This is notoriously one of the most difficult conditions to treat and if your cheek is full of bright red marks that you find hard to control, it can be extremely stressful.

You can imagine the relief this patient feels, as his skin works its way back to health...

...And how much more confident she feels, too.*

So if you’re suffering from any kind of skin textural issues, we could make the same difference to you...

...All with the help of your body’s own natural, miraculous healing capabilities!

Loose Weight in 3weeks !

Finally found a quick fix to a long term problem! This method not only can reduce the excess weight fast and permanently, it does this by burning the reserved stubborn fat in the body and not the structural fat which easily returns with a vengeance once a program is over. In summary, this "Enhanced" Weight Loss Program aims to : 1. Loose excess weight esp from stubborn fats 2. Increase and Reset Basal Metabolic Rate to a higher level and by doing the #1 and #2, able to 3. Maintain the weight loss forever! ( don't we all wish for this?) . With all this in mind, I decided to embark on this program myself. It is Day 8 today. This protocol should reduce my weight from 0.5 to 1.0lb per day. I only need to follow a special diet plan and take the medication daily. Total loss expected if all progresses accordingly will be 6 to 9kg (or upto 15lbs). I started with 64.8kg on Day1, went up to 64.9kg on Day2 and have progressively lost between 0.3 to 0.7kg daily since. Today I am at 6

Laser Vagina Rejuvenation

Our V2LR laser handpiece is finally here. Had a revision session with Prof Zerbinatti in the clinic on 3rd Jan. Imagine, for those of us who wish to "rejuvenate" ourselves can do so now with ease and painlessly. Just make an appointment with the clinic, come in 30min earlier so a topical numbing cream can be applied, and have the procedure conducted and completed in 1/2 hr,tops. What will you get ? Well, internally the lasering will "puff"up the mucosa of the vaginal wall by collagen remodeling, as well as improve sensations. Externally the procedure can lighten the skin color, increase sensitivity as well tighten surrounding area. ALl these in just 3 sessions! Prof Zerbinatti claims that in his clinic this is currently the most popular procedure among women in their 30s and 40s. I am very excited about this procedure. I know a lot of women out there do not have any problems, and therefore do not require any surgical LVR but would like to just improve. Like everyhti

Liquid Face lift with Sculptra

The "New" filler SCULPTRA is now available in Malaysia. Making a comeback with new protocols, it is now available for filling up the facial area where a lot of volume loss has occured. It gives a very natural lift. Dr Rey and myself attended a training session on Thursday 22nd July with a Plastic Surgeon from HUKM who has been injecting Sculptra for the past 6months. "Wonderful results!" he says. As Sculptra contains Polylactic acid, it is biodegradable when injected and lasts upto 2years. Once injected it creates volume and causes collagen regenesis and thus a continued correction over time. Because its texture is quite liquid, it can be injected in all areas of the face including the temples,undereye grooves(tear troughs), lips and nasogenian linegiving a "lifted" appearance thus the term "LIQUID FACE LIFT". Sculptra will be official launched by SanofiAventis on in Kuala Lumpur 7th August 2010. Sculptra Malaysia Sculptra lift
