This was the most interesting presentation on the first day of IMCAS Singapore 2008. I had actually not planned on listening to this presentation, but found it impossible to leave once she started describing her novel technique.
The speaker was a Dermatologist from Bangkok. She realised that Restylane & Perlane were unique in having lifting properties. She has developed a technique whereby tiny amount of the filler are injected superficially into the traction lines if the face, in the direction of lift.
The technique is simple & produced immediate results. These improved over the following two weeks, following which the results remained stable for about a year. She used 2-3 1ml syringes per face, so it's a relatively costly affair. There's also a little bit of downtime: bruising, swelling, redness. This can last for up to 2 weeks.
I'm not sure if many Singaporeans would be keen on this, but it is certainly a simple procedure with good results. It may have a role in those who don't trust machines, don't want surgery and would prefer to avoid complications associated with threads. Personally, I'd give the Perfector a go first, and only resort to this if all machine and non-invasive options fail.
