Dr. Kieren Bong (UK) – plastic surgeon, clinical director of the Essence Medical Cosmetic clinic in Scotland, in an exclusive interview for estet-portal.com, told what are the main advantages of working with the unique Teosyal Pen instrument manufactured by Teoxane, designed for the introduction of dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid.
Dr. Bong also explained why he prefers to use the 3-point injection technique for face sculpting with fillers.
What are the main advantages of working with the Teosyal Pen compared to manual fillers?
The Teosyal Pen was introduced to the market a little over a year ago and immediately caught the attention of clinicians as it is the world's first motorized hand-held instrument designed exclusively for injecting dermal fillers. There is no other tool like it, designed to meet the needs of physicians.
There are two main benefits of the Teosyal Pen. First – the ability to accurately control the amount of drug administered. This is possible due to the presence of two separate modes for linear and bolus injection of the drug, for each of which three different rates can be selected.
Thus, Teosyal Pen provides extremely convenient and precise control of the amount of injected filler.
What role does this play in clinical practice? When working with delicate areas of the face – infraorbital, high or perioral – the ability to accurately control the amount of injected filler ensures a uniform and homogeneous injection of the drug. Thanks to this, in clinical practice, the doctor can obtain more perfect and natural results.
Therefore, the first advantage of Teosyal Pen – accuracy. Previously, in order to control the amount of drug administered, the doctor had to carefully observe the movement of the syringe plunger. Teosyal Pen allows the specialist, listening to the sounds of the device, to focus on the tip of the tool, to observe the process of the appearance of the result. Knowing exactly the amount of the drug to be injected, the doctor can concentrate on the aesthetic component of the procedure due to the absence of the need to look from the syringe plunger to the tip of the instrument and vice versa.
The specialist can listen to the sound emitted by the device and concentrate all his attention directly on the procedure. This is the second benefit of the Teosyal Pen.
Why did you choose the 3 point facial contouring and sculpting technique"
In their practice, doctors use different methods of administration. This is one of the reasons why aesthetic medicine is so exciting – in this area you can show your creativity. Specialists differently justify working with one, two, three, four and other number of injection points. Why did I choose exactly three points?
Indeed, with a single access point and a tool of sufficient length, it is possible to achieve a good effect of filling, increasing the volume of the face. And this technique has its advantages – for example, minimizes bruising. However, in the case of facial contouring and sculpting, additional insertion points provide access to areas that can be used to enhance the natural contour that is part of the facial architecture.
The use of the technique of insertion through one point only allows to add volume to the face – for this purpose, the access point is irrelevant, provided that it allows the doctor to reach the target area of the filler.
However, for contouring and sculpting the face, one point is not enough. Take, for example, the zygomatic arch. Why is bronzer applied in a diagonal line along the cheekbones when makeup is used to contour the face? This is done in order to emphasize the natural curve of the zygomatic arch.
Therefore, one of the injection points is located closer to the temporal region – it allows you to insert the instrument, and then, gradually withdrawing it, create a beautiful natural contour of the cheekbones, corresponding to the natural curve of the zygomatic arch.
During the master classes, I always explain to the specialists present in the hall the whole process underlying my actions, since it is very important that the doctors understand why they perform certain actions, and not just reproduce the demonstrated technique.
