00:00Unwanted fat on arms and face?
00:07In the age of the modern technology, you can buy buy there in an instant.
00:15But be careful, because if it's effective on others, it can also pose a danger to others.
00:21Unwanted fat on arms and face?
00:25Michael has double chin and a round face.
00:30When I was fat, my face was round and my jaw was also round.
00:36So ever since, I said,
00:38Ah, what is that? My face is round and round.
00:42You will see that your body is round and your face is also round.
00:45And then eventually, I decided to work out, but I left my face.
00:51Michael works at the airport.
00:53And because he faces a lot of travelers,
00:56it's rare that he is not confident and comfortable with his appearance.
01:01I work as an x-ray inspector, so we are passenger-facing.
01:05So it's important every time that you see us,
01:08no matter what, we are confident even to answer the basic inquiries of the passengers.
01:14Your confidence is still boosted.
01:16It's like, okay, approach me, and I'll be willing to assist you.
01:21Double chin or fat on the face is the result of, of course, when we eat excess, we gain weight.
01:28So it deposits on our pisni or our double chin.
01:32And then because of gravity, because it's heavy, it sinks and it looks like a fish.
01:41So for many people, a rice-shaped face is the goal or a slim and long face.
01:49That's why in 2022, he thought of going under the mesolipo to get rid of his double chin.
01:57Of course, I have reservations.
01:58Especially when you check online what can be the effects on your skin.
02:04Or sometimes, what if the medicine that can be given to me is fake?
02:08According to a facial plastic surgeon, aesthetic and age management medicine expert, Dr. Janina Escalderon,
02:16mesolipo is a non-surgical treatment technique that dissolves fat under the skin tissues
02:23through a fat-dissolving chemical.
02:26It speeds up the metabolism so that we can eliminate it from our secretions.
02:33Its effect is said to be instant and can be seen within a week only.
02:39Aside from mesolipo that dissolves fat under the skin,
02:43Michael also accompanied Jotox or Botox to the masseter muscle or jaw to enhance his jaw.
02:52Jotox is an injection of a medicine called Botulinum Toxin to the jaw.
02:59It is injected directly to the masseter muscle.
03:02That is responsible for the movement of our jaw.
03:05Usually, it takes 4 to 6 months.
03:09Of course, at first, I have reservations to do it.
03:12Especially when you check online what can be the effects on your skin.
03:16That's why I decided to consult and do it with a licensed doctor.
03:21And now, this is the result.
03:24Did Michael achieve his dream?
03:30Wait and see.
03:32It's like there's a little prick.
03:34Make sure your ears are out of the hole.
03:37There you go, guys. This is our rice-shaped product.
03:40Among the many popular products that promise instant rice-shaped face,
03:45is it safe and effective?
03:47That's it, guys. Wear it when your chin is long.
03:51Some of the popular face contouring items are effective in removing double chin.
03:57Doc, is it true?
03:59The V-shaped lifting mask has a component that moisturizes or tightens our skin.
04:07It gives us an illusion that it's tightening or lifting.
04:11But it doesn't target the area of our face lift problem which is below the skin level.
04:20The traditional Asian healing technique, Gua Sha,
04:24is believed to help in blood flow where the swelling of the face is reduced.
04:29Is it effective?
04:31The Gua Sha can increase the circulation.
04:35When we massage an area with the Gua Sha,
04:39there's a heat and micro-circulation improvement in the area.
04:44So, it can help but it is not a substitute for other alternative medicine.
04:52Some people use ice against double chin.
04:56What can you say about this, Doc?
04:59When we rub an ice cube on our face,
05:02we get a vasoconstriction or it stops the vascular supply in the face.
05:08You can feel that the swelling of the face is reduced because there's no blood supply.
05:16But once you stop that, immediately after that, the circulation will return to normal.
05:24So, it's not a long-lasting effect.
05:26But if it's an instant rice cube, it's better to consult an expert.
05:32When using any product or before going into any procedure,
05:35it's possible that the chemical you're using won't fit your skin.
05:40Just like what happened to a patient who had an allergic reaction to mesolipotreatment.
05:46In all kinds of injectables, from the most expensive to the most cheapest,
05:52anybody can have an allergic reaction.
05:55So, we can never tell what are the preservatives of each individual who has an allergic reaction.
06:01So, before we proceed, we should always test it out.
06:05We should do a skin test on the patient.
06:13For this case, it was her first time to have mesolipotreatment done in a different clinic.
06:19The problem here is that we didn't test it out.
06:22The clinic agreed to inject mesolipotreatment because it has been a tried-and-tested formula.
06:27But unfortunately for this patient,
06:30there's a part of the mesolipotreatment substance that has an allergic reaction.
06:36Just like what Michael did under the mesolipotreatment,
06:40which is the absorption of fat under the skin.
06:42And Jotox, which calms the muscles in the jaw.
06:47Of course, at first, I had reservations to do it,
06:51especially with what we saw on the internet,
06:53that it can be peckish.
06:55So, I decided to consult and do it with a licensed doctor.
06:59And now, this is the result.
07:07I'm so happy because every time I look at the passengers,
07:11every time I'm at work,
07:13I'm confident that I can assist the passengers.
07:16To maintain a healthy face, it should be easy to brush your teeth.
07:22You have to chew soft diet for the first few days.
07:27But after that, we can resume our normal diet.
07:39The effect of Botox on our masseter muscle is it relaxes the muscle.
07:44So, when we clench, the strength of our muscle in the jaw is less.
07:49It relaxes and lessens the pain in the area.
07:54And at the same time, the pressure in the DMG is also lessened.
08:00Your body, your choice.
08:03Just make sure in every procedure or product you will use,
08:07don't compromise.
08:09Consult with an expert and go through the right process.
