DR.SUTINA "Discovering Beauty with Science"

A type of thread lift that combines the principles of Fine PDO thread with thicker barbed threads and  anchoring threads.  The new MINT lift threads enables us to do this especially for those who wants to Vshape their face and/or give it better definition, as well as to lift the mid and lower facial skin with its "cox" and anchoring it the the scalp skin. The procedure is minimally invasive in that there is no cutting of skin but instead uses specially made needles and instruments to give an effect close to a mini facelift! Who are the ideal candidates ? 1. Young people who want to shape their lower face to a sharper and narrower appearance 2. Those who want to accentuate their chin, jawline and Vshape the lower face 3. Older people desiring a lift and reduction in their jowls 4.those suffering from mild to moderate aging wanting to refresh their appearance 5. Advanced sagging of skin but not desiring surgical intervention The procedure is done under lo...

A technique for creating a higher and sharper nose line as well as lifting the nose tip and giving it a sharper tip is now available through thread lifting. This technique uses specially made threads with cox that has a greater strength in holding up the nose bridge and tip while creating a hold. Called the LUluko Noseline lift, it is a major breakthrough in creating a more beautiful nose via a non surgical approach. I consider this to be the best so far in non-surgical rhinoplasty. With this technique, I can give a higher nose bridge, a sharper nose line and a sharper nose tip in just 1 sitting and without any downtime to the patient. #nose #rhinoplasty # threadlift # nosetip # sharp 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

With the new E Two equipment using Elos system comes Sublime and Sublative Rejuvenation which enables you to achieve a more youthful appearance. This technology has been shown to effectively treat mild to moderate wrinkles, red and brown spots, and textural irregularities.  HOW DOES SUBLATIVE REJUVENATION WORK ? RF energy is precisely directed to the skin in the form of a matrix. Healthy skin around the dots accelerates the healing process of the skin. Post treatment, new collagen and healthy skin cells are produced. Mid to moderate wrinkles and superficial skin discolorations are reduced. The texture of  the skin becomes smoother and more elastic. WHEN CAN RESULTS BE SEEN ? Typical treatment protocol is 3 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. The total no of required treatment sessions depends on the skin's condition. DOES IT HURT? During treatment, many patients feel a warm, prickly sensation as energy enters the skin. After treatment a pin...

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...

Ulthera Inc recently launched their new guidelines for the tightening of  skin on other parts of the body like décolleté , arms, knees and thighs, thus offering patients a non'- surgical solution for body skin laxity. Ultherapy received FDA approval in 2009 as the latest device that uses ultrasound to non-invasively lift and tighten tissue. Unlike traditional laser and radio frequency devices that heat tissue through the skin's surface,Ultherapy delivers micro-focused ultrasound energy below the skin surface. This targets the foundational layers of the skin, precisely heating tissue to the optimal temperature forneocollagenesis. (~60C), without affecting intervening tissue. Ultherapy is also unique because it can be used to non- invasively target sebaceous and sweat glands enabling me to treat hyperhidrosis or sweaty armpits. Because Ultherapy allows visualization of the targeted tissue, the energy is delivered precisely to that location. By adjusting treatment depth I can deli...

The new ULTHERA machine using high intensity focused ultrasound or HIFU for TISSUE TIGHTENING has arrived on our shores and of course, I voluntered to give it a try. I was the perfect candidate for it being 40-something with a little sag in the jowls and due for my second Thermage treatment this year. No fear felt, thinking it would be like a Thermage session with  heat, the technician started with my under chin and jawline area. The sensation felt like little pins and needles scratching on my skin but overall it was pretty tolerable. Then we tried on some patients, and it turned out they felt more comfortable with Ultherapy then some of the other skin tightening modalities. 1 patient even fell asleep! Both patients felt they could see the effect on their lower face immediately. Now this is amazing as lower facial sagging and laxity is one of the most difficult problems to treat. Many treatments before this including Thermage still could not tackle this area very satisfactorily. So...
