Tighten skin of neck, décolletage, upper arms, knees and inner thighs

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...

Korean Fine Thread LIft for Face, Breasts and Buttocks

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 - the first Fillers

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 ...
