Bringing MINT Thread Lifting from Seoul to Malaysia

Was in a Seoul Korea again in January 2015.  The weather was cold and days were short but we had a fun time exploring and a fruitful training session in conducting the very new, and very effective threadlift called the MINT lift. This technique uses thicker PDO threads with barbs or cox that can hold the skin up better and longer.  The training was conducted at the Euro Clinic,a classy and upmarket type of plastic surgical centre in the heart of Gangnam area. The owner and founder , DrChoi  is a well known plastic surgeon who currently is the biggest conducter of MINT Lift since it was first introduced just 6months ago. I had a full hands on under his guidance. MiNT lift is a threadlift that uses thicker cox thread placed under the skin from the temple area right down to the lower facial skin to "lift" the skin against the downward pull of gravity. The lift stays as these threads are anchored in the temple area using a special Mint Needle. The final...

Dermaveill Liquid Lift Filler - the new POly Lactic Acid filler

Went to San Diego USA in June to have theory and practical training for a new Poly-L-Lactic ( PLLA) filler called Dermaveill. Dermaveill is a US product produced by a new company owned by the CEO of Sculptra , another PLA filler. The studies for lipo atrophy and liquid lifting was conducted in a renowned, private medical centre in Tijuana, Mexico by DrJorge Tagle, their famous plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon. The trip was made fun by TJ, our organiser from Sunward. On the first day we had a session on the product, it's development, it's correct usage, it's potential complications and side effects and it advantages. Dermaveill is better then Sulptra as it's molecules elliptical instead of spherical, thus making it easier to inject with less needle blockage. It also has no risk of forming nodules in the long term allowing for more superficial injection techniques. The next day we went to Tijuana to have injection demonstration and guidance by DrTagle who has inje...

Los Angles , U SA recently while attending a train the trainers program for Demaveille, the latest and newest in poly lactic acid liquid fillers for volume sing the face and filling in the lines. We arrived at almost midnight on Thursday at LAX Airport and drove down to San Diego the next day. It was a nice leisurely drive. Immediately upon checking into our beautiful hotel in SanDiego, we had our theory session with DrTagl It was comprehensive and extensive but it was informative of the product and methods. Later we had dinner w DrBacchara , the principal of the company that supplies this new PLA filler. The night air was cool and the company was fun.

It was my first time there and Tijuana seemed like any other American City -clean, well planned, and safe. A whole day session with DrJorge Tagle,...

SILHUOTTE SOFT LIFT - the softer , gentler way

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.

PRP for younger, also stronger joints

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...

V Shape Face with threads

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
