Story of Yanxi Palace 延禧攻略 aesthetic analysis

It all began when I refuse to be the outdated auntie who did not know what is YAN XI GONG LUE all about, I joined the drama binging marathon , sacrificing a month of beauty sleep.
YANXI PALACE延禧攻略 is produced by renowned Chinese screenwriter Yu Zheng and backed by iQiyi, China’s answer to Netflix . In the beginning of the series my beautician commented that the Emperor were in dire need of some fillers , and that started the whole clinic chattering over who has better features and prettier -The battle was tied between the early Empress Fucha (Huang Hou) & Noble Consort Gao (Gao Gui Fei). 

All the gossiping, betrayal, backstabbing and twisted plots made me think deeply of  what would be my ending if I were to be in the story. Thanks to technology I was able to visualize it better by  PITU-ing myself into the characters just by taking a selfie with the app.


This PITU experience has refreshed me of the importance of FACE SHAPE regardless of features. 

Me as Wei Ying Luo (Main Character)
Likes: Big eyes, Skinny, Swan Neck
Dislikes: Eye brows, this set of brows were made too high, probably to add boldness into her character into her otherwise mousey look.吴谨言 Wu Jinyan's regular style is much proportionate.
Morale: She is still too bold to be alive in the forbidden city.



Me as Huang Hou Empress Fucha
Dislike: torn between Huang Hou & Gao Gui Fei's beauty in the series, My features are unfortunately "not suitable" on  Huang Hou's face shape : note that my eyes aren't as big as hers, thus it does not match her probably over filled temples & forehead.
Morale: Anything over like overweight/overfilled or over nice/kind is no good. Empress Fucha have the most beautiful set of eyes, without her eyes, she have lost the rank to Gao Gui Fei in an instance.





Me as Noble Consort Gao ,Gao Gui Fei
Likes: This is one of my favourite I would say this face shape matches my set of eyes nose and mouth the most with all proportions well managed, i would say Gao Gui Fei Face Shape and fashion compliments me the most.
Dislike: Bad Ending


Consort Chun, Chun Gui Fei
Likes: One of the prettiest lady however withered by age. Chun gui fei is the living example of " young is beautiful"
Dislikes: Chun Gei fei is rather saggy & not as firm looking as Empress Fucha considering that they grew up together in the high society. She would benefit the most from a filler liquid full facelift 乔雅登 .


Last but not least,  Surprise Surprise , who would have though I would look better as the Emperor compared to Fucha Fu heng. Many would have agreed Fucha Fu Heng as the handsomest male actor in the series. Indeed , facial shape plays a vital factor in Beauty and should not be compromised compared to big eyes/sharp nose. Beauty is Unique, Individual , while Proportion & Suitability place a big role too.





Missing : Charmaine Seh/ Xian Gui Fei,  Eunuch Yan Chun Wang , & Er Qing !

Charmaine Seh 's evident nasolabial fold (laugh line)  have proven fame weighs more than appearance even in the entertainment industry! looks like she will need some 少女针

Trending skin treatment in Asia - The BABY SKIN injection / Rejuran

Recently there has been an explosion in the popularity of Rejuran treatment in Asian countries. The treatment were so well liked that is was nicknamed by the chinese 婴儿针- Baby Skin Injection. 

What Is Rejuran ?

Originated from Korea, Rejuran Healer is a DNA-oriented skin treatment derived from salmon. DNA extract of salmon is broken down into polynucleotides (also known as PN) – which literally means multiple nucleotide monomers bonded together.

How Does Rejuran Work?

The polynucleotides that have been obtained from salmon are biologically similar to human DNA.
This similarity allows for overall Skin Quality Improvement:
  • Improve skin texture and tone/color/brightness
  • Repair damaged skin/ scar
  • Strengthen damaged skin/thin skin
  • Hydrate dry skin
  • Improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines
  • Minimize Pores
  • Regulate Sebum Balancing and moisture
  • Reducting comedones



Rejuran  is suitable to improve these conditions:
  • Acne scars
  • Fine Lines
  • Thin Skin / Weak Skin
  • Enlarged pores
  • Dull skin
  • Sebum regulation
  • Dry Skin
  • Blackheads/whiteheads


Is Rejuran Safe?

Rejuran Healer has been through clinical trials and testing and has been found to be compatible with the human body. It is a Korean FDA approved product and also has been approve by Malaysian Ministry of Health.
The salmon DNA used in Rejuran Healer has been ‘modified’ to be free of any animal proteins that would cause any allergy reaction, thus many patients with skin allergy have benefited from this treatment as it strengthens the weak skin. However for person with eczema , a skin test is recommended prior to treatment.

How Is the Treatment Carried Out?

  1. Double Cleansing
  2. Numbing cream is applied on the skin and you wait for about 15 minutes to let the cream take effect
  3. Skin Disinfection Cleanse
  4. Rejuran is injected underneath your skin in small amounts, feels like small ant bites sensation
And you’re done!It really is that simple considering the fact that Rejuran Healer is minimally invasive.

What Should I Expect After Treatment?

You should expect some swelling or bruise that is not severe. There will also be visible bumps (the product) that will be absorbed overnight. If you are lucky you might not even have a bruise!
Results are fast but not immediate – it should take about weeks before you begin to notice results. Some achieve results faster than others. Remember that healing is taking place, and the skin is in repair process.
The treatment is best done 3 – 4 times, 3 weeks apart or monthly. After the full duration of treatment (including healing time) can best results be felt. Maintenance treatment should be done once every 9 months after though this varies from patient to patient.

Can This Treatment Be Done Alongside Other Aesthetic Treatments?

Yes, definitely! Rejuran Healer is usually done alongside other aesthetic treatments. This allows the different treatments to work synergistically to improve the skin.
However, it is vital that you inform your aesthetic doctor of any treatments or medical conditions you are undergoing/have undergone/have. This includes non-aesthetic treatments (i.e. Diabetes).

Are there any Side-Effects?

At the present moment, there really seems to be no serious negative side-effects. The worst seems to be the bruising and swelling that might occur immediately after receiving the treatment.
Rejuran Healer is an extremely promising and definitely exciting treatment. If you would like to receive a course of Rejuran Healer, do consult our aesthetic physician today!
Here is a video of the Rejuran Skinbooster .

Do you have THICK LIPS? or a SUNKEN CHIN?

Popularized by the THAI SURGEONS, we have been receiving many request on LIPS REDUCTION, even more than double eyelids in fact.

We would usually advice our clients to come for a face to face consultation, as a face sculptor, I can only evaluate accurately when the subject is live-3D. -----------------Perfection comes with accuracy.

Turns out almost all the clients that came with complain of Thick Lips do not actually have thick lips.
They had a condition called Receding Chin (sunken chin), or you may refer to the example in picture below:

When a person's chin is too sunken, the lips are naturally protruded, giving a false impression of thick lips.

Most of our clients, went home with a "New Chin" with no downtime & there was no more need for Lip Cutting & Sewing in Hatyai!

It is highly recommended to relax any wrinkled chin using Botox ( example- pic below) prior to chin augmentation for longer lasting results.



A well proportionate chin can give you a whole new look! in fact it can :

- reduce the appearance of double chin, saggy necks
- facial shape appears slimmer,
- lips are less protruded

All in All a more confident look as well!

A non surgical chin augmentation uses fillers,
For first timers, we suggest Juvederm Voluma , which last up to 2 years, lowest risk for "filler lumps/ granuloma ", and it is reversible in case you dont like it.

If you like the shape your doctor have done for you previously,  Elanse is a longer lasting option up to 4-5 years, however it is not reversible.

Permanent fillers are not recommended as our facial bone changes a little bit with age over time, permanence would be a problem when it doesn't match other parts of your face anymore.


Love,
Dr Shin

What is Hyaluronic Acid/ Fillers? 什么是透明质酸/玻尿酸

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a gel-like water holding molecule that is the space filler and cushioning agent in all mammals. HA cushions joints, nerves, hydrates skin and hair, and fills the eye.

Injectable Hyaluronic acid are categorized as MEDICAL DEVICE and therefore can only be Prescribed by Medical Doctors. Not Pharmacist, Not Beauticians.

At Regen Clinic, we use HA for :

Knee Joint Treatment, Skin Booster Treatments, and Facial Scultping Treatment. 

"HAH? use same thing to treat everything a?"

NO, :) Hyaluronic acid are manufactured into different type of concentration & use different cross linkage technology, therefore you may see some are watery, some are light gels, and some are thick gels. Some last for a year or even 2 years but some last for only a month.

To make things simple, we use the lightest HA for skin booster treatments, thicker ones for wrinkles, and the thickest gel for Facial sculpting like the Chin/Nose and as Cushion in between Knee Joints.

Fillers Manufacturing are very important to ensure the product purity & quality. Please do not let a beautician inject blackmarket fillers into you face, unless you are ready to destroy you face.



In the table above you have see that Different type of fillers are used for injection into different depth of the skin, for different indications.
Injected Hyaluronic Acid Gel acts as Cushion in between Knee Joint & prevent further friction damages

For Face Hyaluronic Acid, our clinic uses Juvederm range, as it has been proven to have the least complication and it is longer lasting.


Juvederm the safest fillers available 
Research have shown that Juvederm in comparisson to other brands has less chances of having nodules/ granulomas & product migration, while swelling & bruising is possible whenever a needle is involved.

Juvederm Fillers are made especially for face injections to improve wrinkles, lines, tear trough, & volume lost.

Skinbooster Treatment for : Large Pores, Dull Skin & Thinning Skin.

Many of us, apart from having serious skin problems might have this tiny winy bitsy problem on our skin.  

Large pores
Dull Skin
Thin Skin

As we age, our skin looses collagen & elastin resulting in weaker structure of our skin, the more we age, the more we loose and the duller,thinner skin we get,omg STOP!





OK, perhaps we cant stop Aging, but we can at least slow it down by strengthening our skin structure

Multiple research have shown that Collagen molecules are too big to be absorbed by the skin. Many expensive collagen creams/serum have been proven to just stay on top of the skin. And, even if we eat collagen, it will only be digested & broken down by our stomach acid & be absorbed as protein nutrients. 

Also, collagen injection does not exist. Collagen are fibers , if you inject collagen into your blood vessel, it will block your blood vessel & you may die. Some body smart just printed it on the vials sold online making miracle claims. One of my doctor colleague actually sent one of those collagen injection ampules to the lab and the results came back as JUST WATER, not even vitamin =_=!!. 

Science have shown that we should all STOP wasting money on Collagen based products with HUGE claims.

So, how do we strengthen our skin? we can't directly place collagen into the skin, but collagen production can be stimulated by Hyaluronic Acid/ Hyaluronan.

Thus the new hype, 水光针/ Skinbooster micro injections. Micro injections of hyaluronic acid into our skin attracts moisture & stimulates collagen production. Serial treatments leaves you with glowing, dewy & firmer skin , pores might not entirely disappear but it will definite;y reduce in size.

The treatment is via micro injection thus is must be done in a Clinic's sterile condition to prevent infection. Hyaluronic acid used must be Medical grade bought directly from official Medical device distributors to ensure its sterility (a doctor's license is usually needed for purchase of medical device) , safety & efficacy. If it is posted via mail, most probably the heat in the pos van would have denature the product resulting in less efficacy.

For best results, research have shown that an initial series of 3 treatments is needed with 3 weeks to 1 month interval, and then a three/six monthly repetition according to skin needs.

For those skin with occasional breakouts due to outer skin dryness + internal oiliness, this deep hydration treatment will improve the breakouts by slowing down the sebaceous gland oil production. 



The treatment takes about 40 minutes,

25 minutes for cleansing & numbing cream application
During the procedure, my patients describe it as feeling ant bites for about 5 minutes.
The remaining time are spent on Post procedure care guidance, a topical super serum is applied for healing whitening & hydration ,& of course sunscreen application is vital.


About a week after the treatment results will start to be noticeable.
Optimal results will be seen after a serial of 3 treatments with 3 weeks/1 month interval in between.
The cost for 3 treatments is RM 2300.


For Star-like super glowing skin, long term monthly treatment may be needed. Its like a regular facial treatment , needle is nothing to them. You have to be BRAVE to be BEAUTIFUL
Skinbooster treatment is the ultimate star secrets of  looking 28 when you are 48, look at Vivian Chow, no big brand serums can achieve that.

Korean Drama :The Good Wife - FINE LINES REVIEW

While Thread Lift are recommended for face that have already SAG. What do we do to maintain a youthful look? or treat perhaps some fine wrinkles that appears prior to facial sagging?

Pardon me but recently I have been watching korean drama series (The Good Wife) yes I am a Drama Fan, and I have a professional illness that I cant stop analyzing faces. 

Notice the fine lines on her face 

TT: Tear Trough
NSL: Nasolabial fold
MJ/J : Marionette line / Jowls

*these lines can be reduced instantly with Medical Dermal Filler injections.

as a doctor, i must break it to you that : No creams/serum can erase wrinkles. 




She also have lost some cheek volume to aging , as we age, our cheek fats reduce & droop to our lower face creating Jowls (J)

Also notice her square & bulging jaw line. In her case i find it sexy as she have very soft & feminine features the squarish jaw gives her character. 

However some faces with square jaw may look masculine and some even get mistaken as (äqua/shemale).

Personally I felt that the folds & fine lines on her gave her more depth into the Strong Worn Out Wife/Mother character that she was holding in the drama.

BUT, in real life, who doesn't want to be beautiful? 

She probably withheld all aesthetic treatments to create this look and I bet she cant wait to get the treatments once the drama production is over >_<

This is how she looks like when she is not in the drama.


BEAUTIFUL & AGELESS


That's the good thing about  Dermal fillers. The treatment looks natural and you can sculpt your face however you want it. You will look youthful but not fake. And if you suddenly need to look older for a drama, you can always ask your doctor to reverse it off with the antidote.

You dont need to be Old to be needing aesthetic treatment,
You need Aesthetic Treatment to get Old slower.

This for example is my 30 years young lady client with hollowness under her eyes that made her look elder and tired. Sorry there are no miracle eye cream that can fix that.

After 2 tiny ant-bites numbing injections.

I sculpted her under-eye area with light hyaluronic acid dermal fillers with a blunt needle to fill up the hollowness, but careful not to over-fill this area as it will end up bulgy & unnatural.

Picture was taken immediately after the procedure. A Medical grade eye cream is suggested to maintain the results of treatment.




Our Clinic only uses Medical Grade Hyaluronic Acid Fillers that are Sterile, so it is very safe.
Dermal Fillers are graded as Medical Device in our country, Thus only a Doctor (not even a pharmacist) are able to purchase Injectable Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

If your beautician offers you any injections, there are high chances that is a fake or a black market product which might be contaminated or not pure. 

Many of you would have seen beautician injection disasters on newspapers so I am not gonna share it here. A few years ago, there was a case in US whereby the illegal injector used melted plastic to treat her customers. All of her client were told that they were injected with Hyaluronic acid.
