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. Food was great - a fusion of Mexican and American delicacies. The next day, we were driven to a private medical hospital in Tijuana, Mexico. 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,...

Attended the FATS conference in Bangkok where great minds like Dr. Sidney Coleman and Dr.Kutaro Yushimura were there to teach, share and update us the latest and newest technique in transferring fats from the tummy or hips to the face and / or breasts. Methods using direct lipo transfer of pure healthy fat extracted and re implanted into the face is shown by DrSid Colemen, who is the world expert in the facial fat transfer technique. His books are used as reference by Drs all over the world. Dr Yushimura later showed on stem cell extraction from fats known as Adipocyte Derived Stem Cells or ADSC. He practices using the extracted fats and mixing it with the ADSC to allow for longer lasting effect. In his cases the lipotransfered fats into breasts lasts upto 7 years. DrYushimura is world renowned for this technique. He created the technique for breasts fat augmentation. 

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

 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.
