Feather Facelift  Botox injection Collagen injection Cosmetic laser skin resurfacing Feather Facelift The "Feather Facelift" now available through Beautiful Holidays in Malaysia More and more women, especially younger patients in the age group between 30 and 45 years who do not yet have much sagging because the elasticity of the skin is still good, are turning to new minimally invasive lifting procedures that entail smaller incisions that usually completely disappear after a few weeks. The "Feather-Lift" is a non-surgical approach to facial lifting utilizing the patented "Aptos® threads". The safe procedure, taking approximately 30 minutes to an hour depending on the number of areas being treated, is performed under local anesthetics. The Feather lift does not leave any scars, requires no bandages and has minimal down time. Aftercare usually involves ice packs on the treated area. Beautiful Holidays now performs the feather lift and from what we have seen so far the results are very satisfactory and it certainly pursues the cosmetic surgery trend of "less is more". The feather lift is not for everybody. Sometimes the drooping of the soft tissue of the face and neck is too severe and a mini or full facelift is required. The best results are seen on people who wish to improve their aesthetic contours, suffer from premature aging; suns damaged face and have some drooping of the soft tissue. The drawing below indicates the areas that can be treated through a feather lift. For Beautiful Holidays to correctly assess the feather lift required, and give you an accurate quotation, we need a recent (digital) picture taken from the front and the side of the face. Please also indicate the areas you wish to be treated. Pricing is based on the number of Aptos threads that are required and starts at approximately 700 US$ onwards.

Botox Injection ' Smoothening the forehead, frown lines and laughing lines ' The latest technique to smoothen a furrow in the skin is to inject it with Botox, instead of having a brow-lift, which involves surgery. Botox is chemical, which causes a temporary paralysis of the muscles. Precise injections are needed so that only the muscles, which cause the frown lines, are paralyzed. Results are noticeable five days after the injections and last for 3-6 months. During this time, the muscles become smaller and less obvious because they are not being used and wrinkles relax away. After a few treatments, some people even learn to stop frowning. This procedure is done in the clinic as an outpatient with minimum discomfort. Collagen Injection ' Wrinkle filler ' This is an attractive idea to smoothen out wrinkles. Injections of collagen can instantly reduce the appearance of nose-to-mouth grooves, frown furrow, acne pits and depressed scars. It is an effective procedure and is very popular in western countries. What is collagen? It is a protein that is the main constituent of skin, bones, muscles and ligaments. Cosmetic surgeons use a purified form of treated collagen. Because collagen is a foreign protein, a few people can develop an allergic reaction to it, so, a trial injection in the arm is given a month before the injection. Because of this problem, many collagen substitutes are available now which are equally effective and last as long as layer. Depending on how many wrinkles are to be filled up, you may need more than one treatment. A cream can be applied before the injection to reduce the pain of injection. The injected areas can be swollen which will take a few days to subside. Being a foreign protein, collagen or collagen substitute slowly gets dissolved in the body after 3-6 months or longer. So, you need to go back for tops-ups, two or three times a year. Cosmetic Laser Skin Resurfacing Aging, sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle factors including nutrition, alcohol consumption and smoking all may contribute to facial wrinkling. Pigment changes of the skin, such as blotchiness or brown spots, may also occur with age or as a result of birth control pills, pregnancy or genetic factors. Acne may have made the surface of your skin uneven. These problems, as well as certain other skin conditions, may be improved by skin resurfacing. Cosmetic surgeons have performed skin resurfacing for years using deep chemical peels and dermabrasion (sanding) procedures. These methods were very painful and often resulted in less than satisfactory results. Laser resurfacing was introduced several years ago with CO2 (carbon dioxide) lasers. Although this laser often provides very good results, patients usually require full anesthesia due to intense pain generated by a CO2 laser procedure. Patients must further suffer through a very long and uncomfortable healing process, lasting up to six months, and complications such as pigmentation and prolonged redness were common side effects. The Erbium laser was introduced as a fresh new alternative to existing laser resurfacing technique, and the result is comparable to CO2 laser with much lower complication rate. What can Erbium laser do for me? The Erbium laser has been designed to remove or noticeably decrease wrinkles and to improve the overall colour and skin texture of the face, neck and hands. Although the treatment will vary depending on various considerations, with few expectations, you can expect an improvement in the texture and quality of your skin. Is the Erbium laser like other lasers I've heard about for skin resurfacing? You may have heard about CO2 laser for skin resurfacing. Although the result may be very good, patients experience a great amount of pain requiring full anesthesia for the treatment ad usually take a very long time to heal. The Erbium laser offers the benefits of less pain during treatment and recovery along with significantly faster healing times than other resurfacing lasers, at the same time, complications such as pigmentation and prolonged redness are much lower. How does laser skin resurfacing work? Laser light is absorbed by water in your skin cells. The absorption in turn causes the destruction of the cells. As the laser light passes over your skin, a mere 30 millionth of an inch of tissues is removed at a time. This incredible control allows your cosmetic surgeon to treat a range of skin complaints, from removing wrinkles to merely refreshing your overall skin appearance. After the damaged skin is removed, new skin quickly re grows in its place. Does it hurt? The level of discomfort is different for every person and also varies by the location and surface area to be treated. Many patients do not request any pain medication during treatment and relate the discomforts as comparable to sunburn. Other patients will appreciate a topical or more extensive anesthetic. After the treatment, you may require some medication to relieve the discomfort. How long will the healing process take? Of course, everyone will heal at various rates depending on the treatment, the particular areas treated and your own healing rate. Noticeable results are typically seen in a few days, with complete healing in only 2 weeks. Light resurfacing around the eyes and lips in general takes only a few days. Most patients can be treated before the weekend and be almost completely healed by the following Monday. Areas further away from your face, such as the hands, may take a little longer to heal. How do I take care of my skin immediately after treatment? Depending on your specific treatment, your cosmetic surgeon will prescribe detailed skin care instructions. To avoid the risk of inflection and to ensure positive results, please follow these instructions carefully. After you have healed, you will need to continually protect your new skin. In the early weeks and months following treatment, your skin will be very susceptible to sun damage. If at all possible, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. If you must be in the sun for a short while, please use sunscreens recommended by your physician. Are there any complications with laser resurfacing? Although the Erbium laser has substantially reduced many of the risks associated with laser procedures, infection, temporary or rarely permanent pigmentary changes, even scarring or other unsatisfactory results can occur, especially when performed by untrained hands. As with any medical procedure, be certain to thoroughly discuss any questions or concerns you may have your cosmetic surgeon. |
