DR.SUTINA "Discovering Beauty with Science"

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...

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. 

Allergen Malaysia had a grand dinner at KL Hilton tonite where DrSmith from Canada gave an excellent talk on the new approach to antiaging the face using the new brand of Juvederm fillers called Volbel and Volift. Juvederm has become one of the more I popular fillers in the market since it bought over by Allergan , the company that produces Botox. In combination , DrSmith showed how I can get rid of dynamic lines, static fine lines, increase the light reflection of the skin and  recreate a youthful facial angle. All this is done 1 sitting, lasts for 2 years and treatment is almost painless. Juvederm Kuala Lunpur Voluma Botox

The Korean Thread Lift is the current "hot" treatment for skin tightening and lifting as well as V-shaping the face. These threads are made of PDO material which is similar to the threads used in surgical stitches. When inserted into the skin, it acts as a "scaffold"  for the skin which helps to "hold" the skin against the effects of gravity. These "mesh" of  threads can also shape the face by lifting and supporting sagging structures. The threads are absorbable and therefore will be resorbed in 4-6 months time leaving nothing behind but the skin structure created which continues to hold for another 15-24months.  Many different versions and type of threads are available but my favorite is one that contains  medicinal properties and are inserted using Acupuncture points. Also known as the Ultra V-Lift, Dr Kum from Korea was flown in to conduct a practical training session with our clinic Drs recently. We did 2 cases, a full face skin lifting and...

Restylane was first introduced on the market in 1996. I started practicing aesthetic medicine  in 1998. I remember it being the only filler available in the market at that time. It was introduced as a groundbreaking filler, the first of its kind. Fillers in general have come a long way since. There are hundreds of brands in the market now but what I have observed is the staying power of Restylane and how it continued to grow - in product range, as well as in technique range. As more and more new products are developed, I also learnt more and more new techniques to treat and help my patients attain their desired enhancement. The Restylane range of products : Restylane fillers, Restylane skinboosters and Restylane skincare, has enabled people to take care of their skin from the inside and out - instantly, effectively and long-term. The Restylane secret is called NASHA which makes the Restylane products' unique qualities and are all based ...
