DR.SUTINA "Discovering Beauty with Science"

  A friend of mine owned the most beautiful home. They used an interior decorator, invested in stunning furniture and repainted regularly.  Everything was in beautiful condition - it could have been featured in a magazine!  But when they tried to sell the house, my friends received a rude surprise. T he buyers discovered that the wiring was decades old. The piping system needed a complete overhaul. They even found problems with the foundations… Underneath the beautiful surface, the house was in complete disrepair.   Our skin is a lot like this house...   If you’re like most people, you probably take great care of your skin’s surface - which is the right thing to do!   You apply creams and serums… Get facials and peels… Maybe you even get regular microdermabrasion treatments to improve the quality of your skin or anti-wrinkle injections to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. But meanwhile, under the surface….   Completely unseen…   The ...

Another visit to Bologna Italy recently for the 22nd SIES or the International Congress of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery was not just fruitful but fun as well. We had a full 3 days of talks on Algeness - the one and only Organic filler in the market. A 100% natural filler and totally biodegradable, it is a breakthrough in the filler and Medical aesthetics market. The first day we arrived (early morning) in Bologna we were whisked to our Hotel Carlton in the old city, to get checked in freshen up for the afternoon Algeness exclusive session.  What I like about the Algeness company, ATT, is that it has strong emphasis on training and teaching the doctors that are going to use the product and there is a lot of continuous training for experienced injectors. Despite feeling tired and sleepy from a 12 hour flight, I managed to stay awake throughout the 3 hours listening to experts talk about their personal experiences , new methods for the Algeness injections, new areas it can b...

1. Botolinium injections or BOTOX  Botox and Dysport  is a purified substance derived from bacteria Botolinium Type A. Injections of botolinium toxin block muscular nerve signals, which then weakens so it can't contract. The end result is diminished unwanted facial wrinkles or lines. Botolinium injection (BTA) can be used to help smooth crows feet, forehead furrows, frown lines, and skin bands on the neck ( plantsman bands). The action of BTA injections lasts for 4-6 months but regular use of it every four to six months can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and help obtain a smooth and youthful appearance.  2. FILLERS Filler injections help to finish facial lines and restore volume.and fullness to the face. As we she, our face naturally lose subcutaneous fat ( fat under the skin). The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crows feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial vo...

PRP has been used in our clinic for skin rejuvenation, post filler healing, acne scar reduction, pigmentation reduction, as natural fillers, hair regrowth and scalp rejuvenation. PRP or Platelet Rich Plasma contain huge amounts of growth factors and small amount of stem cell , so for a long time before it entered the Cosmetic Medicine world, it was used by someOrthopaedic Surgeons  to inject into the knee joints or any joint injuries for new cell regeneration and healing. After hearing about many famous athletes like Tiger Woods and our very own Datok Lee Chong Wei getting PRP treatment for their injured joints and how the treatment enabled  them to heal faster  and return to their game sooner , I decided to find out more about this mode of treatment and possibly learn how to conduct it. For the joints, the PRP is basically injected  directly into the joint using a fine hypodermic needle. It's quite a simple procedure and is over in just a few minutes if techniqu...
