Nowadays, Erbium: YAG laser resurfacing of periorbital skin has become a very popular method of wrinkle reduction. Seven patients with Fitzpatrick skin phototypes of II to V were treated with a 2940 nm Erbium: YAG laser system for resurfacing of periorbital wrinkles. Photographic evalution performed before and after treatment. Patients were visited at 1,2,3,5,7,14,30 and 60 days after laser res...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This study evaluated clinical usefulness of long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser (LPNY) for periorbital wrinkles in Asian patients. METHODS Twenty seven Korean patients were treated with several passes of LPNY (5 mm spot size, fluence: 54.7-61.8 J/cm(2), pulse duration: 56.5 microseconds). Three treatment sessions were conducted every 2 weeks on the half side of face that was ran...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES In this preliminary prospective study, we evaluated the efficacy and safety of nonablative wrinkle treatment using combined radiofrequency (RF) and optical energy (Polaris). The dual energy technology of Polaris, called ELOS, which stands for electro-optical synergy, uses synchronous pulses of bipolar RF current and pulsed visible light (diode laser) delivered in the s...

Background: A special pillow was designed to redistribute mechanical stress during sleeping in order to slow down the formation of facial skin wrinkles. Objective: To investigate whether sleeping on a specially designed pillow reduces facial skin wrinkles. Participants and Methods: A 28-day pilot study was carried out in which fifteen healthy female volunteers aged 23 55 years (mean age 35. 6 ±...

BACKGROUND Laxity and rhytidosis of eyelid skin as a result of photoaging is a frequent cosmetic concern. Fine lines and deep wrinkles may not be optimally addressed with traditional ablative carbon dioxide (CO(2)) resurfacing. Modern devices allow for surface fractional ablation and deep fractional ablation with narrow treatment columns that target deep dermal layers. OBJECTIVES To examine t...

Introduction: The periorbital subunit is one of the first regions to present signs of aging, resulting in sagging, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Surgical and non-surgical ambulatorial procedures, including chemical peels, lasers, neurotoxins, and cutaneous filling, form an important basis for the rejuvenation of this region. Objective: The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to eva...

Peptides of synthesis are a very new strategy in cosmetic science and technology for at least two reasons: (1) they are small molecules, easily penetrable in the skin and (2) they are able to induce a very specific action, because all skin cells (keratinocytes, fibroblasts, nervous cells) have membrane receptors for peptides. This group of cosmeceutics includes the botox-like peptides, represen...

background facial wrinkles develop over the natural aging process. the demand to treat these wrinkles is increasing. several treatment options are available. objectives we aimed to investigate the effect of fat injection and its combination with platelet-rich plasma (prp) on facial wrinkles. patients and methods we recruited 28 patients who were candidates for the treatment of facial wrinkles i...
