Lift, redefine and revitalise your face with minimal discomfort. Happyy lift is a unique threadlift with tiny barbs that can be inserted into the cheeks,brows, mid-face, nose and jawline for a naturally youthful lift. If you do not want to look like you've had "work' done, threadlifting is ideal for you. Instead of altering your features, it lifts them to their original (or almost) porsition, and simply preserves and enhances the natural contours of your face. The best part is you will still look like you - but younger, fresher and more radiant. So WHAT is Threadlifting? A thread lift is also sometimes known as a non-surgical facelift. It is a minimally invasive procedure that uses absorbable threads to pull, lift, and support the skin in the face and neck. The threads used are designed to have graspers which helps to suspend the skin, reducing any sagging areas in the face and neck. Due to the structure of the threads, a thread lift procedure also encourages t...

In Barcelona again for another round of training and updates on the use of Silhoutte Soft sutures. It was again an interesting 2 day session with over 100 Drs from all over the world. New techniques included for brow lifting, mid face lifting and especially for lower face to define the jawline. New techniques for neck lifting, nasal flare reduction, breast lifting, buttocks lifting and reduction of the upper arm flabbiness. The new 16 cone sutures with 8 cones on each side instead of 4 was also introduced. This allows for less threads or sutures to be used for the same effect due to a stronger and better 'hold' of the skin , thus a better "lifting" effect. I tried it out upon my return and lo and behold , the hold is better and a more profound lifting is seen. What's best is I am able to achieve the same results with less no of sutures allowing for better affordability to patients.

Was in Barcelona Spain last October for another round of updates on techniques using the Silhoutte Soft PLA sutures to reshape, redefine, and gently 'lift' the tissues of the face that has seccumbed to gravity. Not a surgical procedure as such , the SSL can be done as a lunch time procedure with very minimal downtime and discomfort. About 100 plus Drs from all over the world attended the program. Dr Pizzamiglio as usual showed some new uses of the sutures like the new longer sutures for mid face lift, an inverted V technique for face, SSL for buttocks, SS Lift for breasts ( quite amazing)  and even for nose.

Another Korean aesthetic surgeon was in town last Sunday for a workshop on using those fine Korean threads to shape the lower face. Combined with Dermotoxins, the effect was predictable and quite nice. I was also very interested in the threads with "cox" or "barbs" which are actually little protrusions along the length of the threads to create a stronger hold into the skin.  Although it causesmore swelling and potentially more possibility of a bruise occurring, the " lift"  effect is much better and shaping the lower face into a more defined "V". I will definitely be trying out this combined technique as soon as we receive our thread orders. Will put up some photos soon! Kuala Lumpur thread lift thread V shape Thread Face lift

WE recently acquired a new equipment called the E Two Sublime/Sublative which is a new and upgraded version of the very effective E Prime for skin tightening and improvement. Now you can comfortably reverse the signs of aging and achieve a more youhthful appearance without downtime, with the new E-Two  Sublime Skin Contouring. It is the first and only technology that uses combined energies to effectively stimulate collagen production and improve the overall skin tone quality, especially in areas that are most telling , such as the eyes, brow lines, cheeks and around the neck.  HOW DOES SUBLIME WORK?  The combined The combined bi-polar radiofrequency and light energies of E2 precisely heat the dermal tissue, stimulating collagen production. Fine wrinkles are thus reduced, facial contours improved and overall skin quality reveals a much smoother and even complexion.        WHEN CAN YOU EXPECT RESULTS ? Most time...

 Understanding Facial Aging  Facial aging process begins with the surface and subsurface structural changes. Therefore it affects multiple facial tissue layers, including skin, fat, muscle and bone. These tissue layers age interdependently, contributing to the overall facial appearance that is obvious on the outside. With age, skin undergoes several changes, which include: sagging skin, shrinkage of fat, muscle and bone. Collagen loss is a key factor in the aging process. As skin ages, the middle layer of skin (dermis) thins due to collagen loss. This reduces the skin’s ability to retain elasticity (from elastin ) and moisture (from hyaluronic acid).     What happens when skin ages? 1.Drier skin 2.Thinner skin 3.Less elastic skin 4.Skin more likely to wrinkle or sag 5.Reduction in collagen   The first tissue tightening treatment was addressed 15yrs ago with CO2 laser surgery.
