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.

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.

Bringing to you the latest face lift method, WITHOUT SURGERY

So, no worries you cant feel it inside. Just like after heart surgeries you don't see people complaining of feeling a thread in their heart.
