introduction: intense pulsed light (ipl) has long been used for skin rejuvenation. photo rejuvenation with red light (with or without photo sensitizer) is a newer noninvasive way for this purpose; but, until now few comparative studies between these modalities have been performed . the aim of this study was to compare efficacy, adverse effects, and compliance of intense pulsed light rejuvenatio...

Introduction Autologous plasma-rich platelet (PRP) is a human platelet concentrated product which is in low volume of plasma. Using PRP in rejuvenation and resolution of some cosmetic problems has been already popular in many countries and also in Iran. As no study performed in this field in Iran and regarding the high prevalence of using PRP in society with no validate references in the case ...

UNLABELLED STUDY DESIGN/BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Currently, ablative laser therapy (with CO2/Er:YAG lasers) is considered an effective and promising method of skin rejuvenation. The induction of collagen synthesis was observed after treatments with the CO2 laser and with the long-pulsed Er:Yag laser. In past years, the undesirable side effects and risks of these methods have led to intensifie...

Zircon ages and trace element compositions from recent silicic eruptions in the Lassen Volcanic Center (LVC) allow for an evaluation of the timing and conditions of rejuvenation (reheating and mobilization of crystals) within the LVC magmatic system. The LVC is the southernmost active Cascade volcano and, prior to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, was the site of the only eruption in the C...

Skin rejuvenation has developed into one of the most popular indications for laser and intense pulsed light (IPL) treatment in dermatology. During the past few years, nonablative skin rejuvenation with infrared lasers has become ever more popular. The results for hyperpigmentation, telangiectasias and erythema are very good, whereas the results in treating wrinkles are not as good as with ablat...

Recognizing that the tide was changing in dentistry, my wife Janet — also a dentist — and I decided to include facial rejuvenation procedures into our practice’s “smile design” treatment. Our most exciting adventure to date has been the opening of a dental and facial rejuvenation/esthetic dentistry center, appropriately named, “A Smile Above.” We are enjoying the practice of dentistry more toda...

BACKGROUND Facial aesthetics and rejuvenation are evolving rapidly due to changes in products, procedures, and patient demographics. Clinicians can benefit from ongoing guidance on products, tailoring treatments to individual patients, treating multiple facial areas, and using combinations of products and ways to optimize outcomes. METHODS A multidisciplinary group of aesthetic treatment expe...

PURPOSE Restoration of the aesthetic neck contour is an integral component of facial rejuvenation. Multiple deformities of the neck and chin complex can make treatment of the cervical region daunting. An algorithmic approach to neck rejuvenation based on individual anatomic and clinical analysis is prudent. The authors created a simplified anatomic approach to the most common cervical deformiti...

As one of core technologies of software rejuvenation, analytical models provide a decision-making basis for implementing rejuvenation. This paper builds analytic models using stochastic reward nets with three different rejuvenation policies: non-rejuvenation, time-based rejuvenation, and time and load-based delay rejuvenation, and presents how system transits from one state into another. The re...
