For example, if a doctor knows a patient carrying a gene with increased risk of non-smoking-related lung cancer, the patient can be arranged to do more frequent lung checks and treatment can be done as early as possible if cancer cells are found.

As there are so many genes, it may not be practical to screen all of them.  Doctor may first look into a patient’s family and health history before deciding which genes to screen.  In summary, precision medicine doctor will look at a patient’s family and health history, and then decide the genes to be screened.  The gene test report will give doctors an idea which disease a patient have high chance to acquire and precautions can be done to prevent the disease.  At the same time, body checks are done to detect any existing and developing disease.  In case a disease has developed and is being detected, specialist doctors can provide medicine or treatment according to their own expertise or base on gene test results.

Muscle Building and Body Sculpting – Emsculpt Treatment

Emsculpt has been approved by FDA and CE for safety and treatment efficacy.  It is the world’s only procedure that is non-invasive and simultaneously addresses both muscles & fat for men and women.  A 30 minutes Emsculpt treatment induces approximately 20,000 forced muscle contractions per session.  Seven independent multi-centre studies from the United States, stated that Emsculpt treatment could help patients build mass and burn fat simultaneously for a toned and athletic physique.  One of the studies shows abdominal fat thickness was reduced on average by 19.2% and simultaneously  a 15.8% increase in abdominal muscle thickness was observed, coupled with a 10.8% reduction in diastasis recti after 5-8 treatments.

Improving Urinary Incontinence – Emsella Treatment

Emsella has also been approved by FDA and CE for safety and treatment efficacy.  Emsella utilizes HIFEM to cause deep pelvic floor muscles stimulation and restoration of the neuromuscular control.  Key effectiveness is based on focused electromagnetic energy, in-depth penetration and stimulation of the entire pelvic floor area.  A single 30-minutes Emsella session brings thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions.  A clinical study demonstrated that 95% of patients treated reported satisfaction and 75% of the patients eliminated or reduced pad use following 4 treatments with Emsella.

PDO thread lifting provides a non-surgical method to improve the above skin problems.  During the PDO thread lift, a needle that is pre-loaded with a PDO thread is inserted in the interstitial tissue at subdermal level and the needle is finally pulled out with the PDO thread remained under the skin, creating an instant skin lifting effect.  At the same time, the insertion of PDO thread under the skin mechanically stimulates a number of intracellular biochemical reactions in skin tissue cells, leading to increase collagen and elastin synthesis to secure the skin lifting effect.  This lifting effect may last for 1-2 years depending on the client’s skin condition.

Similar to any procedures using a needle, it should be noted that PDO thread lifting may cause temporary side effects such as bruising and swelling.  Apart from the above mentioned risks, other unexpected side effects may occur in different individuals.

In conclusion, PDO thread lifting is a non-surgical method to insert a PDO thread under the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, resulting in skin tightening and lifting effects.
