This is "Dr. Lin is in" linking science with nature. Hi I'm Mark Alyn along with Dr. Michael
Lin, we're gonna talk about some of the procedures you do right here in the office for both men
and women. That's correct yes. Your gonna tighten my skin? Well there's this new um
device called the "doublo" and this device it uses high intensity ultra sound focused
ultrasound to tighten the skin. Wow ok why do I want my skin tightened? Well you can
see like right in here, you need a little bit of help with that sagging and the, they
call it the turkey gobble. Yes I'm starting, my mother had that. Yes. So they used to do
that with plastic surgery. That's correct. Right? Yes. That scares me personally. Yeah
so now with the new technology we have some other options, some non-surgical options that
are safe and non-invasive. Wow, so I can come in at the end of the day on Monday and be
back at work on Tuesday? Uh, you could yes. Oh my, how does it work? Well its basically
focused high intensity ultrasound waves so this is a type of ultrasound wave that dolphins
and bats use so it's a very natural type of technology. Is it for both men and women?
Yes you could use it on both men and women and how it works is the ultrasound would hit
the skin and cause thermal injury and tighten and contract the skin, additionally it will
stimulate collagen to grow. So it actually has a double affect, tightening the skin initially,
and then stimulating the collagen afterwards. As we age we don't produce collagen as much
as is my understanding. Right. And our skin loses the elasticity? The youthful blush?
That is correct, once you lose the collagen, you lose the elasiticity and the volume, and
so that's what causes the sagging. Got it, so it's a natural part of aging but you can
easily correct it with the... Doublo. The Doublo , the Double yes. With men on this
it would seem to me this would be something that a lot of guys would want to do. You know
they're, maybe they're going out on a job interview, they're 55 maybe even 60 years
old they wanna look young for that job interview. Will that... procedure do that for them? Yes
actually there's more and more men seeking aesthetic services, because the men are trying
to catch up with the women now. The women know about these treatments, but finally the
men are starting to do them more and more. We know that plastic surgery can be very expensive
is this something that most people should be able to afford? Yes this is much more reasonable
than plastic surgery and there is very little down time, basically there's none you just
go in for your treatment and you look great the same day. On our next episode the doctor's
gonna take me into the OR, oh boy, and we're going to see the machine in operation as it
tightens part of my skin and the Dr. Lin is gonna explain how it works. If you want information
