Beauty centre operators and non-doctors found to be practising aesthetic medicine could be fined up to RM50,000

Kuala Lumpur, 30 June 2013

Beauty centre operators and non-doctors found to be practising aesthetic medicine could be fined up to RM50,000 or jailed for up to two years once the amendments to the Medical (Amendment) Act 2012 and its regulations come into operation before year-end. Health Ministry officials said Section 33 of the Medical (Amendment) Act 2012 stated that first-time offenders could be fined not more than RM50,000 and jailed not more than two years while the fine could increase to not more than RM100,000 and jail term to not more than three years for second-time offenders. Deputy health director-general Datuk Dr S. Jeyaindran said the ministry was in its final stages of drafting the regulations following the amendments passed in Parliament in June last year. “Beauticians can be hauled up by the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) if they portray themselves as doctors or they carry out procedures that only doctors can do under the guidelines on aesthetic medical practice,” he said during a press conference at the 2nd Malaysia-Singapore Conference of Aesthetic Medicine yesterday. Dr Jeyaindran was asked if the ministry was taking any action to address loopholes in the law that did not penalise beauty centre owners who conducted invasive cosmetic procedures. Recently, guidelines on aesthetic medical practice was introduced and doctors who carried out the procedures and did not have the credentials to do so would be hauled up by the MMC for breach of professional code of practice. Dr Jeyaindran said the first batch of 22 doctors had been registered with the National Registry of Registered Medical Practitioners Practising Aesthetic Medicine.

Honeypot Wax Boutique : LHE Treatment

Kay Silva, Kuala Lumpur, 12 August 2013. A Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle Blog.

Unwanted body and facial hair is NEVER sexy instead it’s rather embarrassing. Personally for me, I started removing unwanted hair since high school and slowly moved on to slightly “adventurous” (who am I kidding!) ways to remove them like waxing and testing almost every depilatory hair removal products available out there.

To my delight, I was invited by the award winning wax salon, Honeypot Wax Boutique to try out something new and incredibly exciting method to get rid of my unsightly hair.

It was my first time heading there so I was both excited and nervous. Usually when going to a waxing parlor, I would feel tad anxious (I don’t enjoy experiencing pain of any sort) but at Honeypot, I immediately felt at ease. I guess it’s due to the cozy and beautiful interior.

This place looks so chic, from the chandelier to the sofa to the rooms. Lovin’ it!

 

The PINK room – for the ladies.

Honeypot believes in looking and feeling fabulous – even whilst you’re getting your fuzz ripped or zapped off in their private pink treatment rooms! There’s even a BLACK room for the lads. Yes guys, you can get fuzz free too at Honeypot Wax Boutique. Anyway, when I heard that Honeypot Wax Boutique was introducing the LHE treatment at its One Utama outlet, I hasten to try it out.

I was first brief by Corine (she’s so helpful and friendly). When asked which part of my body to undergo this treatment, I wasn’t sure. She suggested the armpits and I thought why not! She was kind to explain to me how the machine works and even tried it on herself to show me the difference (what a sport!). Apparently, the hair on my legs and arms were not obvious/ too short – oopps!

The procedure can take up to from 5 to 30 minutes depending on the body parts. Since I was removing my armpit hair, I was assured it would only take 5 minutes. Frankly, I was a tad skeptical as 5 minutes seems like really express service (and I was wondering if it’s so fast, would it be as effective?) Time to find out….

Corine started off by cleaning the armpit area so traces of deodorant, sweat, etc is absent. A gel pad is applied onto the skin to cool it and to protect the skin from burn. I was feeling rather curious so I tried the treatment with and without the gel pad.

The difference? Without the gel pad, the heat is more prominent. So, when she applied the gel pad on my skin, it was heaven. A cool sensation that helps sooth the skin from the heat. The feeling was like a warm ant bite in a blink of an eye (make sense?)

Honeypot’s permanent hair reduction treatment promises permanent hair removal at minimal discomfort! And I must seriously note that they truly keep their word. A few minutes into the session and it’s over! Talk about express service. Ideal for people who are always on the go.

My verdict on my Honeypot Wax Boutique's LHE treatment experience:

Take note that LHE treatment doesn’t work instantly – for the hair to be fully eliminated, it takes around 2 weeks (as the hair will fall off from the root itself). Honeypot’s LHE treatment also helps smoothen and lighten your skin, so you can enjoy silky and fairer skin. Hence, I waited a while and wore sleeved blouses to conceal my armpit hair *blush*. To my surprise, my armpit hair lessen in the first week itself. Coarser hair takes longer to get rid of - so I experimented by trying to pull my hair off with a tweezer and before I could even pull it, the hair just fell off. Talk about impressed! Couple week later, the hair is gone. But that’s not all! My armpit hair haven’t been growing (or it is but just not as rapidly as before). Til today, my armpit is still fuzz free. I’m seriously windblown at the moment. Lovin the result!!P.S: I did take shots of my armpit results but way too shy to upload them. Sorry lovies!

How does LHE (Light and Heat Energy) Treatment works?LHE targets its arch nemesis – the melanin in the hair shaft and in order to cease its existence, it converts light to heat inside the follicle thus eradicating hair from the root. Those irritating fuzzy buddies often say farewell as future hair growth is inhibited and often prevented. The heat energy is delivered using LHE’s patented technology that enables the use of low light energy levels to achieve the desired heat effect in the follicle without damaging the surrounding tissues.Unlike the other permanent hair reduction treatment that uses lasers and pulsed light dependent devices, LHE is a safe procedure that delivers faster results –thanks to its single touch technique and requires no gel application to cool the skin! No mess, no stress.Honeypot’s LHE permanent hair reduction treatment can be done on almost any area of the body, for all skin types – from your legs, Brazilian area, underarms, upper lip and even your back! Repeat this treatment every 4 weeks for 6 to 8 cycles and voila! Results of significant hair reduction would be visible after the 4th treatment. It's time to say goodbye to unsightly hair and hello to hairless smooth skin with Honeypot's Wax Boutique LHE treatments. Guess what? For your first trial at Honeypot, for one part of your body, you'll receive 50% off (a great deal to try out Honeypot's LHE treatment and experience it yourself!!)

Medical Grade LHE in Singapore and Malaysia

LHE - Hair Reduction
Unwanted or excessive hair is a common problem. Today, approximately 80 percent of men and women aged 16 to 60 remove face and body hair regularly. A new generation in hair removal systems using the unique LHE (Light Heat Energy) technology enables hair removal from virtually every part of the body (except the eyebrows) safely, quickly, and efficiently. A series of several treatments is all that's needed for long-lasting removal of excess or unwanted hair.

BENEFITS OF LHE FOR HAIR REDUCTION:
-Safe and reliable - Selectively targets and destroys only the hair follicles while avoiding high heat levels for the safest light-based treatment available.

-Simple and easy - A plug and pulse system that requires no cooling gels or pre-treatment procedures.

-Quick - With the largest spot size around, even large body areas can be treated quickly and efficiently.

-Unbeatable value - The innovative technology makes for a much more efficient and cost-effective system for both the practitioner and the client.

LHE, the next generation in light based hair removal, answers the needs and concerns of both practitioners and their clients. Its low energy levels create an ultra safe virtually pain free treatment that doesn’t require any preparation or skin cooling. The easy to use multi-platform flexibility has lowered the cost of treatment to within reasonable boundaries for the average consumer.

Treatments are performed monthly for several months depending on the area being treated, with most areas requiring 5 – 8 treatments for effective long term removal.

Light based hair removal is based on the theory of selective photothermolysis. Selective photothermolysis involves using a high energy light source to target the melanin in the hair shaft, and then convert that light to heat inside the follicle. The heat then damages bulge and root responsible for producing hair.

To bring down the energy levels and increase safety, LHE relies on the innate synergetic relationship between Light and Heat to create a singularly efficient photothermal technique. Along with powerful safety mechanisms, Radiancy engineers developed innovative algorithms that take full advantage of the skin’s thermal absorption capabilities and limitations. Together these features lower light fluence to achieve unparalleled safety levels. With its unique light and heat combination, LHE maximizes the heat effect on the follicle without damaging adjoining tissue.

How LHE Photoepilation Works

clip_image002

Flashes of broad-spectrum light and heat from the LUA are applied to the target area.

clip_image004

The light selectively targets the melanin in the hair, elevating the temperature inside the follicle.

clip_image006

Direct heat assists coagulation of the hair bulge and root by further raising the temperature inside the follicle.

clip_image008

The combined energy of the light and heat results in subsequent coagulation of the hair follicle. A natural process eliminates the destroyed hair.

clip_image010

The result is long-term hair removal for hair-free skin.

LHE Acne Phototherapy
Breaking the Barriers in Acne Clearance

Acne, pimples, zits, no matter what you call it, acne is a serious, often heartbreaking condition. And one of the most common, worldwide nearly 80% of people will suffer from acne at some point in their lives. For some, it is simply annoying. For many others however, acne is a significant problem that has a significant impact on their lifestyle and quality of life. Now, new light-based phototherapy treatments for acne offer hope to millions of sufferers unwilling or unable to take systemic medications.

LHE enables the first true no-compromise solution for acne; excellent clinical results and uncompromised safety on all skin types. Using a unique combination of red light, green light and heat, LHE achieves unmatched clinical results. Patients have experienced up to 90% clearance of acne lesions after a 4 week/8 session treatment course. And most patients were still acne-free at final follow-up 3-6 months after treatment.

When treating acne blemishes, time is of the essence. The longer a client suffers from the condition, the deeper run the scars both physical and emotional. LHE works fast, offering a complete treatment in 30 days compared with the 6 – 18 months usually required for systemic treatment. LHE’s addition of heat intensifies the chemical process and speeds overall treatment time. Heat also generates an anti-inflammatory response that generally has the patient looking and feeling better within 2 weeks of starting treatment.

Because LHE treats the client with broad spectrum light there are no side effects and no systemic consequences.

BENEFITS OF LHE ACNE CLERANCE:
-Safe and reliable - Safe acn clearance with no pain or downtime.
-Visible - Results are visible shortly after starting treatment, with clearance reaching up to 90% on average.
-Quick - Just 10 minutes for a full facial treatment.
-Faster than any other treatment - Total treatment time is 1/3 the time of common medication therapy.

How LHE Acne Phototherapy Works

clip_image014

Blocked pores create a closed anaerobic environment that leads to rapid buildup of a P. acnes colony under the skin.

clip_image016

LHE clears acne safely and effectively with a series of concentrated pulses of light and heat. The green wavelength light penetrates deep into the skin to cause proliferation of porphyrins, resulting in the destruction of P .acnes. The concentrated pulse is up to 10,000 times more effective in porphyrin activation than the continuous wave light used by other light-based technologies. The red wavelength produces anti-inflammatory results. The addition of heat, unique to the LHE method, further increases the effectiveness by opening the skin pores and producing a faster chemical reaction.

clip_image018

LHE results in up to 90% clearance of acne blemishes after a series of 8 treatments

LHE Skin Rejuvenation
Photo Rejuvenation
Wrinkles, age spots, sun spots and spider veins - medically known as rhytides and pigmented and vascular lesions - are outward manifestations of aging or sun damaged skin. Once simply accepted as a fact of growing older, these skin imperfections can now be safely and easily treated. New light based techniques like LHE have provided today’s cosmetic patients with virtually painless, non-surgical options.

A comprehensive skin rejuvenation treatment may include several treatment goals simultaneously; the improvement of fine lines and skin texture, and the removal of age spots and spider veins. LHE's optimal balance of light and heat enables you to accomplish this multi-factorial process without having to change treatment heads.
Powered by Radiancy's unique LHE Technology, utilizing the combined energy of Light and Heat, this system allows treatment of pigmented and vascular lesions, skin aging effects and fine lines as well as wrinkles. Treatments are quick, efficient, and safe.
The unique combination of light and heat energy maintains lower heat levels than any other light-based treatment modality, allowing for the highest safety margins without need for skin cooling.

LHE has demonstrated a clinically proven ability to safely deliver more youthful looking skin and a high level of client satisfaction.

LHE technology's innovative balance of Light and Heat creates a more efficient photothermal process that enables low energy levels. This low J/cm² level optimizes safety and eliminates the need for pre-treatment protocols or skin cooling techniques. Non ablative, LHE treatments are faster and safer with absolutely no downtime, giving your clients the freedom to squeeze a quick appointment into their busy day.

BENEFITS OF LHE SKIN PHOTO-REJUVENATION:
-Safe and reliable - Optimal use of light and heat energy for safely treating the sensitive facial area.

-Visible results - Noticeable improvement in pigmented and vascular lesions, skin complexion, and fine lines and wrinkles after just a few treatments.

-Quick treatment and no down time - A typical session lasts 10 minutes with no need for preparation or recovery time.

How LHE Skin Photorejuvenation Works

clip_image032

As the skin ages and is exposed to the elements of nature, it suffers from degradation and imperfections.

clip_image034

Using LHE technology, short pulses of light and heat selectively target and coagulate chromophores in the epidermis and papillary dermis.

clip_image036

Oxy-hemoglobin in vascular lesions and melanin in pigmented lesions are coagulated. The coagulated cells are eliminated by a natural process and replaced by new cells.

clip_image038

For fine lines and wrinkles, LHE creates a mild thermal insult to the dermal-epidermal junction. The insult triggers a wound-healing process and new collagen remodels under an undamaged outer layer.

clip_image040

LHE results in clearer, smoother, younger looking skin and leads to high patient satisfaction.

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a disease of the immune system whose causes are still largely unknown.

Psoriasis is cyclical in nature. Patients experience episodes of flare-ups alternated with periods of remission that come and go over a lifetime. Although the onset of psoriasis can occur at any age, most cases appear between ages 15-35, with 10% of the cases appearing under the age of 10.

Far more than just a “simple skin disease,” psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating and often painful condition. Skin regenerates approximately 10 times faster than normal, creating a white flakey buildup over a patch of red imflamed skin. Psoriasis is characterized by dry, rough and scaly skin that constantly flakes and peels as well as almost unremmittent itching and burning. Even in its mildest forms psoriasis can make life miserable. And the costs of psoriasis cannot always be measured in money spent. Visible psoriatic lesions can have a negative impact on careers and social life and a psoriasis patient often feels cut off, abandoned and hopeless. Traditional treatments regularly weigh the risk versus the benefit gained but often discount the hours lost in daily treatment regimens that seem to take forever.

Although rarely life threatening, recent studies have shown that psoriasis sufferers rate their quality of life at a level lower than those of diseases usually considered much more serious such as arthritis, diabetes, and cancer.

Psoriasis – a non-stop cycle of itching, scratching, stress and flare-ups that lead to more itching…
LHE Phototherapy for Psoriasis Halts the Cycle.

LHE provides relief without the need for topical therapies, oral medications, painful injections or exposure to potentially cancer-causing ultraviolet light.
LHE psoriasis phototherapy for mild to moderate chronic plaque and guttate psoriasis is a revolutionary and powerful tool in the never-ending battle against psoriasis. A completely safe and painless light-based therapy, LHE can bring complete relief from itching in as little as 2 – 3 sessions. Most patients experience a 75% clearance in psoriatic lesions after a full treatment course of 8-10 sessions carried out over 4-5 weeks.

BENEFITS OF LHE TREATMENT FOR PSORIASIS:
-Safe - No harmful side effects
-Fast - Complete relief from itching in as little as 2-3 sessions.

-Effective - Up to 75% clearance in psoratic lesions.

How LHE for Psoriasis Works

clip_image042

In normal skin, the cells grow, move to the surface and are sloughed off at a steady unnoticeable rate. This cycle takes about one month.

clip_image044

With psoriasis, the immune system sends faulty signals that speed up this cycle to only three or four days. The skin thickens with extra cells and blood vessels grow larger in a attempt to feed those extra cells. Skin cells pile up on the surface with dead cells creating a white, flaky layer over the patch of inflamed skin.

clip_image046

LHE uses specialized flashes of green and yellow Light to shrink and eliminate the blood vessels that feed the abnormal growth of psoriatic skin cells.

clip_image048

The Heat combined with infrared wavelengths reduce swelling and inflammation and very effectively stop the constant itching associated with psoriasis.

clip_image050

Although psoriasis can occur on many areas of the body, LHE’s selective photothermolysis treatments insure that only psoriatic lesions are treated while healthy tissue remains untouched.

Omnilux Light Therapy

Omnilux Light Therapy has been developed as a natural, non-invasive and relaxing procedure to help reduce the appearance of the visible signs of skin ageing - minimise fine lines and wrinkles, boost collagen production and visibly improve your skin's appearance. Omnilux Light Therapy uses narrow band light emitting diodes (LED’S) to target skin cells and maximise treatment results in a wide range of dermatological conditions. FDA approved and clinically proven, Omnilux complements the body’s own natural moisture renewal process to plump up the skin naturally. Also proven to accelerate wound & scar healing, it is ideal for post surgery recovery. Three different wavelengths of light (White, Blue and Red) are used in combination therapy to stimulate different cellular responses:

Omnilux Revive™

Omnilux Revive™ (red light) acts to rejuvenate and repair damaged skin, improve uneven skin tone and reduce the appearance of fines line and wrinkles. Omnilux Revive delivers a precise wavelength of visible red light that penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate fibroblast activity to naturally boost the production of collagen (the protein responsible for plump, healthy skin).

Omnilux Blue™

Omnilux Blue™ (blue light) is designed to deliver pure blue light at a precise wavelength. The blue light is clinically proven to be effective in the treatment of acne. By stimulating anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory activity in the deeper layers of the skin, it works to stabilize sebum production and effectively treat active acne.

Omnilux Plus™

Omnilux Plus™ (white light) has longer wavelengths than both the Omnilux Revive and the Omnilux Blue. With its main purpose to heal the skin, making it perfect for after cosmetic surgery procedures, burns, damaged skin and new scars.

OMNILUX – LED therapy at its best.

OMNILUX – LED therapy at its best.
Apr 25 2013, Dr. Maryati, Founder of Facework Clinic.

Say Hello to the Omnilux. What is Omnilux?

The Omnilux is a Light Emitting Diode (LED) machine with a narrow band technology and has been patented since 1998 for dermatological conditions. It uses light modulation technology that promotes tissue and cell healing as opposed to Lasers which are mostly thermoablative. What it means is that the machine uses low energy light (LED) at certain wavelengths, help to stimulate and modulate tissue and cell healing as opposed to controlled tissue destruction as we see in Laser usage.

It came about by accident in 1996, when a British cancer researcher Dr Colin Whitehurst used a photodynamic lamp to activate photosensitive drugs on skin cancer patients, he also noticed that the surrounding skin around the skin cancer lesion was rejuvenated. Later from here, they started to experiment on different wavelengths and discovered different uses for it. As of today, the Omnilux has 7 FDA clearances and is used by over 3000 physicians worldwide.

The current Omnilux has 3 different lamps which are labeled Omnilux Blue, Omnilux Revive and Omnilux Plus. Omnilux Blue is more for acne prone skin. It acts by killing P. acnes bacteria which is responsible for acne. The wavelength is 415 nm (+/- 5nm). The Omnilux Revive is aimed more for skin rejuvenation and has been found to boost collagen and elastin production. The wavelength is 633 nm (+/- 6nm) and it comes out bright red. The Omnilux Plus is an infra red beam targeted for deeper tissue hence promotes tissue rebuilding and healing. The wavelength is 830 nm (+/- 5 nm). Sometimes when you google, you will find another lamp called Omnilux PDT. Actually, that is the first lamp created for aesthetic use and non-melanoma skin cancers. Now they’ve replaced it with Revive. Newer products from Omnilux would be the hand held Omnilux Clear-U and New-U, which is not available in Malaysia yet.

The chart is a summary of the things the Omnilux can do. However, you have to be pretty realistic. A patient would require more than 1 treatment to achieve noticeable results. And the results do not come instantly but rather 3-6 weeks after treatment done. After scanning through the clinical papers, I would say 6-8 treatments would be recommended within a short interval of 3-5 days. Technically you can do this treatment daily due to non-invasive nature of treatment although whether any additional benefits seen is yet to be concluded.

So far I’ve done 3 treatments on my face since the machine arrived. 2 times with the Revive, and once with Plus. The first treatment was done with just a Milk peel. We used Revive and the red light was blinding despite the goggles given. My skin felt warm as the red light hit the surface. It was not painful. The LED light placed so near to my face was actually cool. 20 minutes went by pretty fast despite the blinding red light. Post treatment, there was residue of warmth on my face and it looked more radiant probably from the heating of the tissue.

The second treatment was initially for my back. I hosted a birthday party on Friday night and was dancing on killer heels for a good 3 hours. Of course my back hurts. There was mainly trapezius muscle strain. So we put on Plus and shined it 20 minutes on my back. Since I was bored in my clinic that day, after we finished I asked for iontophoresis vitamin C and shined Plus another 20 mins on my face. Plus is infra red light so we would not be able to see any of the LED beams. Instead they placed yellow diodes just to show that the machine is being turned on. Infrared beams are relatively harmless however poses a threat to the eye if concentrated and beamed on the same spot for 10 seconds or more. Hence why all the precautions that we take to cover the eyes. The Plus beam is less bright and produces less heat than Revive. It did however improve my back and the muscle appear less tender. I was even told that they use this lamp for race horses in Hong Kong to aid healing after race. As for face, I did not see much difference with my face except for the vitamin C application that made it glow in comparison to the Revive lamp which gave instant radiance probably due to more heating effect.

For the third session we used the Revive lamp again. Before putting on the lamp, I asked the girl to apply Intense White C serum via iontophoresis. No peeling was done since my face was just peeled recently. After this session I noticed a lot of difference. Pores appeared smaller, and my tone improved quite a bit. The next day, my skin was still good, pores were small plus it felt tighter. Can’t wait for another ‘tanning’ session (it doesn’t tan you at all actually).

Omnilux is used for:

  • Minor Muscle and joint pain management e.g. Treatment of Sports Injuries
  • Non Melanoma Skin Cancer. Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) – Most common form of cancer in the United States (75% of all skin cancers). Basal cell carcinoma is normally a slow-growing form of skin cancer. In some rare cases, BCCs can multiply more rapidly and spread (metastasize) to other parts of the body.
  • Bowen’s disease is a very early form of skin cancer. In Bowen’s disease, the skin cancer is located only in the epidermis.
  • Actinic keratosis is caused by sun exposure. About 5% develop into skin cancer.
  • Wound Healing. The Omnilux has shown to accelerate wound healing, proven treatment for post laser ablation-(removal of unwanted tissue from the body), reduces pain, swelling and erythema. Skin Area Treatment Pre and Post Laser Resurfacing Moderate, Severe, Cystic Acne Treatment. Skin Rejuvenation and Combined Chemical Peel Protocols.
  • Periorbital Wrinkles Combined Treatment of: Chemical Peels with Photorejuvenation.
  • Anti- Inflammation Skin Area Treatment.
