She has used FDA approved injectables, body sculpting surgical procedures, and skin lasers for 15 years now. Here are some trends that she has predicted will become quite popular this year forward.

Rejuvenation Biostimulation

Did you know that there is such a thing as ‘text neck’? It is the damage and pain sustained by the shoulders and neck for looking at a device, usually an electronic one, for a significant amount of time. With people growing more and more fixated on their laptops and smartphones, ‘text neck’ has become a prevalent condition in people of all ages.

The skin on your neck is therefore, damaged causing deep horizontal lines to appear across it. To treat this condition, the surgeons introduced a treatment known as rejuvenation biostimulation. In this procedure, hyper-diluted calcium hydroxyapatite fillers are used to stimulate stem cells. They then regenerate collagen by using energy devices responsible for producing ultrasound energy.

Surgery for enlarged male breasts or gynaecomastia 

When glandular tissue produced is more than needed by the body, a condition by the name of gynaecomastia occurs. It is when an excess of fat develops in the chest area. It is known as pseudogynaecomastia or fake gynaecomastia. The only way to treat it is through liposuction.
You can also have enter a four-step surgery programme that suits your specific needs. It is referred to as 4D Chest Remodelling and its main function is to reduce fat tissues. Moreover, it removes the extra glandular tissues by stimulating the development of subdermal collagen. This is done in an attempt to make space for tissue remodeling and to increase production of new elastin and collagen.

Thread lift and nose enhancement

People are becoming more and more aware of their appearance. They prefer a more natural look rather than one that appears fake. Hence, Nose Thread Lift is becoming readily popular as compared to the routine non-surgical rhinoplasty.

Hiko Nose Thread Lift achieves a higher bridge without any surgical procedures by using absorbable polydioxanone (PDO) thread. When placed on the bridge of the nose with utmost care, they help alleviate the height of the nose bridge.

Dr. Puah stated that the PDO material is being used by doctors for over 30 years now. It is nothing new and can be seen in various medical disciplines such as gynaecology treatments owing to its good pliability, high tensile strength, and smooth tissue passage.
