Background: Cosmeceuticals represent the fastest growing area in dermatology. Dermatologists are in a good position to help patients understand the benefits and realistic limitations of these products. Regulatory frameworks differ significantly between the different markets and are far from being synchronized. The principal activity of the study and its scope: This study will provide an important step towards understanding current situation of cosmeceutical products. This is a coherent project making recommendation for strategic way related to improving vigilance, consumption and efficacy issues of cosmeceuticals.

Methodology: A literature search was carried out between February and March 2013 in Medline, Pub Med, Web of knowledge, Scopus, Google scholar and the Cochrane Library databases with no time limit. References cited in published articles were examined until no further study was identified. All English, animal and human studies were included.

Results: Research in this field, especially in the context of dermatologists’ training, is particularly scant and needs to be improved. This project gives an insight to the industry and dermatology curriculum builders that there is strong need to develop the training spectrum in cosmeceuticals. Moreover, there are no synchronized guidelines. EU, Japan and Canada are major contributors in regulatory system.

Conclusion or Recommendation: The confusing and contradicting global regulatory definitions of cosmeceuticals emphasize the need of harmonized guidelines or a synchronized regulatory framework. There is a need to improve dermatologists’ knowledge and confidence about cosmeceuticals’ ingredients safety and efficacy through various up-to-date/ evidence-based seminars, workshops and training courses. There should be common guidelines, e.g. for approaches to safety testing, particularly regarding alternatives to animal testing. Increase high quality basic and clinical research in cosmeceuticals will boost this rapidly developing area. Through means of these measures the establishment of an evidence-based cosmetic dermatology can be achieved. This project may serve as a tool for assisting future studies and primary research in this field.

Bio-cosmetics versus classical cosmeticsTanya TalrejaAcademy of Professional Aestheticians, Singapore

Have you ever really looked at your skin products? Do you find that they are up to the standards and been FDA approved and tested for chemicals unsuitable to your skin type? Now is the time to really check. Skin, as we are all conscious of, is

our largest organ. It is the thinnest organ in our entire body, taking up to less than two point five millimeters to separate what disadvantageous and plausible toxins we face in our ever-declining environment. Skin is highly penetrable, truthfully, almost any foreign member of substance can and would enter your blood stream then become disseminated throughout your entire body. We all seek support, through external methods such as products and an internal source of cleansing the skin from the inside out. The realistic fact remains that more than 11,000 cosmetic and care products in the United States market are of a shocking 99% intake of ingredients that have never been tested or evaluated for safety. Consider all the products you have used in your life, might be causing you more hindrance than help. There are simple methods are proven to not only help your skin but to show dramatic results like reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, tightness to your skin and removal of a lack of luster in skin appearance. Firstly it is vital to minimize usage of hot water and chlorine, as in many countries it has to be cleaned through before use. Although in some countries it is simply not accurate and the amount of chlorine used is a high amount and unknowingly reaching the epidermis to subcutaneous layer of your skin. Consider the fact; that not only bacteria, free radicals enter your skin but also your health can be contaminated through the very products you use to enhance your appearance. For apparent reasons toxins, daylight, and being around an unknown amount of free radicals immediately close to your face, will diminish the luminosity of your skin. The key for glowing skin is a regimen using skin care formulas steps twice a day, plus a mask at least once a week. Not forgetting an exfoliator that is mild yet strong enough to remove dead skin cells promoting skin regeneration. The benefits is what you need to look for, bio- cosmetics do not contain chemically Polluting substances such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and synthetics. In the end these are actually harmful not only to our body, but also to the environment. We need to look at the facts bio-cosmetics are also very rich in active ingredients and they certainly develop from live raw materials, thus assuring their real and long-term efficiency. It is not easy to know the exact composition of a traditional cosmetic product. It would never show all the exact ingredients to spare its competitors from stealing their ideas. One would wonder where is the trust and security of purchasing a product, without knowing the genuine transparency of it. Identifying raw materials and organs are tricky, so now thankfully authorities now control bio-cosmetics. This assures a transparency of ingredients and fabrication processes and guarantees the authenticity of Bio cosmetic labeled products. This leaves our mind at peace knowing that we are in the hands of FDA approval, and authorities handling our care products. Although to be on the safe side, it is vital to know what the difference between cosmetics and bio-cosmetics is.

BiographyTanya Talreja has spent last 8 years in both Asia and Europe, acquiring her expertise in all aspects of beauty, spa, wellness and fitness industry. Many of certificates and diplomas in the realm of the spa industry we completed in a high level, she had achieved all this by the age of 23.

If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skinSheree GuestCosmetology Education Center, USA

As a Cosmetology Instructor, one of the most important lessons to teach students is to read labels, ingredients, and instructions. Even in our industry, “organic products” and “all natural” are regulated by FDA and need an MSDS sheet

for them. Students are taught to read ingredients, it is vital in their work to understand how skin can absorb products like a sponge and ingredients get into the blood stream easily just by a simple application of creams and lotions. But the application of a galvanic ensures that the product is driven into the dermal area. The professionals need to take the usual precautions of what they are applying on their client’s skin. This is why the mantra taught is “If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin.” Not all products that are ingestible are good for the skin. For example, “Mineral Oil” is a product that can be considered a “natural product.” It is also ingestible, the fact remains, it’s a petroleum based product. It can cause dermatitis and a host of other maladies. Mineral oil is found in just about every beauty product in our industry, an alternative would be coconut, jojoba, olive, sunflower, or even palm oil. The viscosity of the plant based oils is lighter weight than mineral oil and more readily absorbed into the skin with no proven side effects. Another petroleum based product is paraffin. It is common among the skin and hair products. It can be replaced by bees wax instead. These natural products are safer for the skin and can penetrate into the dermal area more readily and with no harm due to the natural verses man made structure of these products. “If you can’t eat it don’t put it on your skin”.

BiographySheree Guest has been in the Cosmetology industry for 38 years as owner or manager of salons and spas in Oklahoma City area and in Miami, Florida. As well as platform work for different industries. She has been teaching for the last 7 years. She was a Director of a Milady Cosmetology school where she wrote curriculum for an advanced coloring course, men’s cutting course, and Esthetics course. She now teaches basic Cosmetology and Esthetics for Cosmetology Education Center a Pivot Point School in Tulsa, Ok.

Effect of low level laser therapy or led therapy in hair growth in combination with infiltrations: A case control studyI De FelipeUniversity of Navarra, Spain

Introduction: Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and LED therapy has been advocated as a treatment for hair growth together with infiltration with minoxidil, estrogens, finasteride and other substances.

Objectives: To determine whether LLLT or LED therapy by itself or in combination with other treatments can enhance, inhibit or has no effect on hair growth.

Patients and Methods: 162 male patients diagnosed with Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) were included in this study. Patients were enrolled for a 4 month treatment protocol with one of the following therapeutic plans: A) LED therapy alone, 8 sessions, 150 mW, 15 min, 635 nm. B) Finasteride orally 1 mg, Minoxidil 5% and Ketoconazole 2% topically daily. C) Regimen B plus 8 sessions of infiltrations with Minoxidil 2%. D) Regimens C plus A. E) Regimens B plus A. Patients were evaluated before and 4 months after having started their treatment with 5 thricoscopic images 2.5x2 mm in which hairs were counted and hair shaft diameter was measured.

Results: The mean change in hair number after 4 months treatement was: group A:+6.7%, B: +8.2%, C:17.5%, D:24.3%, E:13.9%. The mean change in hair shaft diameter was: A:+12.1%, B:+7.8%, C:-4.5%, D:+1.5%, E:+3.2%.

Conclusions: It seems that LED therapy or LLLT alone can induce an increase in both the number and diameter of hair in the scalp of men with AGA. It also seems that if combined with other treatments modalities the effect is superior. This study suggests that LED therapy for AGA in men should be used in combination. It also seems that the effect of LED is additive with other treatment modalities, suggesting that they act at different key points of the hair growth cycle.

EstheticsAbdullah A M FaidhiIdeal Clinic, Saudi Arabia

Definition: In medical terms, the word esthetic can range from changing life style to changing the future of a patient. In review of more than 300 patients and medical staff, the word esthetic does not have a clear meaning. It can be easily mislead if there is no clear communication and plan between the medical practitioners and the patient. Also, informed consent from patients has to be obtained to clarify the risk and benefit of any surgical procedure intended to be done for that patient. And that would be truer when we talk about esthetic in the area of head and neck and maxillofacial area. In this review, some of the cases that the word esthetic procedure can be used while truly its necessary procedures and necessity of life to continue appropriately and without this procedure normal physiological functions will be disturbed even a lot yet still call it esthetic procedures will be discussed.In the other hand some of the procedures will absolutely cause neither functional disturbance nor emotional disturbance. While some of the other procedures may fall in between the necessary and unnecessary procedure depending on the physiology and psychology of the patient and gender sometimes.

Conclusion: Final judgment in doing a surgical procedure to patient totally depends on the surgeon’s judgment and ethical values that have to be watched. No elective procedure can be done if it is to expose the patient to any harm.

Rhinoplasty: The one and only aesthetic plastic surgery procedureArturo MezaWeight Loss Surgery Clinic, USA

Referred as "Queen" of plastic surgeries because of its fully demanding abilities to perform it, rhinoplasty procedure continues to be one of the most frequent asked and performed procedures in the Plastic Surgery field, mostly of the face

appearence' so called "beauty". As we all know, a pure "beauty" conceptual doesn't exist for all the human races and even for the aesthetic canons at all, so what was there to know as very desiderable for ancient cultures as the Greek, Roman, Egiptian or Mayan, may not "fit" in our actual occidental standards of what is accepted as natural or attractive.

This talk is just about the nose shape. The nose by itself means the organ of the elegant, refinement (resembles the English Aristocratical look of the XIX century applied to modern societies) but it is also known that is considered as the organ for the "reputation" as example in some cultures in which it has been "punished" or mutilated just to "mark" a socially undesired behaviour. So, the first manuscripts held in the Susruta Samhita 7000 BC described the first attempts to reconstruct an abladed nose with a "frontal median flap" performed by artisans other than doctors.

There are many ethical and aesthetical considerations we can do all about the importance of the nose with its inherent beauty confirmation message every individual receives from it every day, starting by what it means to the individual in her or his social context, but the most important is to consider that a beauty balanced face in its "pure" natural occurrence is as rare as 1:15,000 individuals (and maybe more, depending on the race and population we attend) perfectly balanced "standarized" relationship of balance of the face at all: bone structures (between frontal, maxillary and mandibular areas), eyes shape and color and nose size, length, width, etc. Which is more, it is also accepted by our cultures no give a very "sinister role", as we can see in the shape of the "terror" figures in our society as the aging process emerges giving a "witch nose/face" a Halloween category that not so many wish to have in their social relationship context.

The last consideration we have to start doing for this conceptualizarion of the nose's beauty powering properties is the fact of that the so called Aesthetic Plastic Surgery procedures( face lifting, eyelid plasties, mammoplasties, abdominoplasties, etc.) are oriented to restore 2 basic human features: or compensating the aging process effects or giving the body an improved sex appeal. That's all, and, on the other hand if a person looks "ugly" by nature, even with the best and utmost result, she or he will look in the best result with a "refreshed" or age lessed look, but with the same basic natural attractive. It is an often practice to misunderstood these concept so everybody offers beauty, confusing the inherent attractiveness of the young aged people, but this doesn't necessarily means real beauty.

In the other hand, and this is the point, a person that has been relegated by the society as "ugly", sometimes is just because for the shape of her or his nose( size, length, tip "sinister" orientation, etc.) is often capable to give a 360 degrees change in the look with a good rhinoplasty result, just by the fact that all the rest of facial anatomical structures are naturally in balance, and it is just at the time of seeing a Rhinoplasty result, that every surrounding people gives attention to details, and comments as " wow...even your eyes look great, or smile, etc.)

The purpose and message of this script, is to give the basic rules to choose a procedure according to each individual and not in a "serial factory results" look.

The key to succes in rhinoplasty is just that: to individualize each patient anatomical, ethnical, gender features and applies a technique that gives a natural and longlasting result that fits perfectly in the individual's personality.

In this day and age consumers are making it a priority to become more educated regarding their health and their appearance. Their desire for being healthy and looking healthy is a growing goal and it is our reasonability to insure we’re giving them the

correct information to fit their needs and concerns. As the laser and injectable world continues to grow we as providers need to be able to grow with it and gather as much knowledge as possible to be able to transfer that information to our patients so they can then make an educated decision on which path to take to get them to their desired result.

Within the past 10 years we have noticed a large number of patients between the ages of thirty and mid-forties desperate for treatments to improve the lower face and neck area without having surgery, until just recently are only options were a series of treatments using radio frequency and/or light source devices which gave short term dermal tightening and achieving only fair results to the majority of patients.

The most recent advancement has come in the field of Ultra sound technology; Ultherapy™ is the first and only device in the US that has been FDA approved for lifting tissue, first in 2009 for non-invasive lift in the Brow region then in 2012 receiving a non-invasive lift indication for the neck and submental region. This treatment is set apart from prior devices because of its ability to target not only the dermal tissue but also the deeper tissue region SMAS and platysma layers which is responsible for the sagging in the lower face and neck area, by using Mirco- focused ultrasound beams that deliver precise energy during each pulse the result is a non-invasive lift without affecting the skin’s surface. This precision results in consistent patient outcomes which were nearly impossible to achieve with Radio-Frequency and Light source treatments due to all the variables involved such as energy setting, tissue properties (impedance of fat vs. tissue),and application time(partially a factor of patient discomfort).

While Ultherapy™ will lift the sagging jowls, tighten the submental and neck areas it will not correct age -related volume loss. As we age, fat atrophy often occurs in the cheek areas causing the mid face to flatten and sag resulting in the loss of our youthful Ogee curve. The ogee curve (The union of a concave arc flowing into a convex arc) is used in facial aesthetics to describe the S-shaped curve from the cheekbone to the midcheek hollow. When volume is restored to the midface a more youthful look is obtained. The most common treatment to correct this loss is dermal fillers such as Voluma, Perlane, and Radiesse which will last most patients between 12 -24 months. This is a relatively fast and comfortable in office treatment with amazing result.

When ultrasound therapy combined with Midface volume restoration is addressed expect superior results and a very pleased patient you will retain for the life of your practice.

Cosmetic dermatology facial enhancementNeil SandhuMohs surgeon, USA

Cosmetic dermatology has come a long way. With the aid of technological advances and further understanding of the skin and all its layers and keys structural components, we are now able to enhance and reverse the signs of aging with the use

of minimally invasive in office procedures. Botox is the number one cosmetic procedure done in office. This is used to correct dynamic rhytides to make us all look more youthful and pleasant looking. Fillers have revolutionized the cosmetic industry. Various fillers are now available to correct many and almost all areas of tissue loss, including the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, maxillae, temples, lips, tear troughs, dorsal hands, etc. Lasers are a great tool for eliminating textural and pigmentary changes of the skin. We can now treat anything from solar lentigines to hemangiomas to static rhytides so our patients can feel and look better.

A different view to laser hair removalVali A AbbaspourRussia Institute of Laser, Iran

Nowadays, using LASER in medicine is one of the competent and workable methods of removing undesirable hairs. In ordinary method, the hair is shaved most of the times. In this approach, large part of the hair remains in the hair channel;

thus, much more LASER energy is consumed by this hair and LASER is radiates to the melanin content of epiderm cells and damage them.

In the proposed method, which is scarcely tested and experienced, the hair is not shaved, but instead it is uprooted. Based on the anatomic location of the hair, the opportunity for growing again (2 to 3 days). Thus, the activity of follicles and melanocytes increase while simultaneously the hairs move to anagen phase. Up to this time, the hairs have not been grown such long that could come to the outer layer of skin, and the volume of hairs shaft and amount of melanin molecules are less.

The mentioned stage can be carried out in three methods: Direct radiation of LASER (the method which seems to be most applicable, effective, and most easy to use)Radiation

of LASER to “bulb” via the core of a narrow needle, which is sent to the hair channelReverse radiation from under the skin towards epiderm and hair’s root by using special tools and follicleDecreasing LASER radiated energy to the skin, especially in second and third methods, and the unique competent destruction of hairs more than the ordinary methods are the advantages of the suggested method.

Appropriate approaches in cosmetic tattooing, collagen induction therapies, and medical tattooingFrank SalazarTransitions Cosmetic Tattoos, USA

Are our clients safe? Everyone wants to do Cosmetic Tattooing and in some cases “Medical Tattoos”. Some are doing variations on Collagen Induction Therapies. Are the tools appropriate or effective? Research included in depth study and

review of Dr Des Fernandes, Dermaroller, Medical Documentation from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, the University of Kansas Medical Center, Clients and Tattoo Associations. Clients were recruited through various bulletin boards and were requested to post the progression of results. Special consideration is taken when working on re-epitheilized tissue due to potential damage. The implementation of appropriate tools is necessary. Procedures conducted included Areola Pigmentation, Scar Camouflage, Macerated Tattoo Repair, Stretch Marks, Laser Burns, Wrinkles, and Needling. Healing time was consistent throughout the group and clients required 2 to 3 services. Clients’ appointments were scheduled 5 months apart. The specialty tools we used provide spacing between needles and/or the use of thinner needles for finer penetration. These tools could be used in a manual system or with certain machines. Standard tattoo needles and rotary pen machines can lengthen healing time due to thickness and closeness of needles and associated invasiveness. In some cases, the use of a tattoo machine resulted in additional scars. By using a more refined and simplistic approach to Cosmetic Tattooing you can reduce the healing time, discomfort, bruising, and bleeding. Any tattooing without consideration of using the right tool can result in scarring, extended healing, scabbing, poor color retention, longer service and a poor client relationship.

BiographyFrank Salazar attended various collages accumulating 6 years of education specializing in Business Management. He was a Business Consultant over 10 years. Became SofTap Certified Technician 1999 and a Certified SofTap Instructor and Distributor in 2002. He developed specialized needles for the use on re-epitheilized and scarred tissue.

Fractal morphometry of skin surface irregularities: A methodological proposal Gabriele A LosaInstitute of Scientific Interdisciplinary Studies, Switzerland

In the time regained the last volume of A’ la Recherche du Temps Perdu, Marcel Proust in his attempt to depict people getting old wrote “And they did not even appear to have aged”. There were other men and women who did not seem to have aged;

their outlines were as slim, their faces as young as ever”, “Their age, like the presence of infusoria in a glass of water, was brought about less by the progress of years than by the scale of enlargement in the observer’s vision”. Such observation that aging may depend from the distance at which the face is examined rather than from the passing of years, suggest that aging occurs through an irregular scaling free process could evoke a main principle of the Fractal Geometry. An experimental procedure exploiting the mentioned principle would enable to gain data suitable in evaluating the real effect of anti-aging and cosmetic treatements applied to human skin. Pictures of skin may be taken on faces from untreated and treated individuals by a random systematic procedure, projected onto a plane and skin outlines segmented. Segmented profiles may be analyzed by means of a performant program recently developed and the degree of skin irregularity expressed by a peculiar fractal numerical dimension (non integer value). The lower the value of the fractal dimension the smoother the skin surface. In short, that is an objective approach for evaluating the cosmetic effect on the physiological stage of skin.

Several properties unique to hypnosis can be clinically applied to problems commonly encountered in cosmetology.This presentation describes some of the mental techniques that enhance skin health and appearance. These include hypnosis,

meditation, and autogenic training.Another clinical use of hypnosis concerns the resolution of wounds secondary to cosmetic and surgical interventions, via hypnosis’ well-known physiological capacity for circulatory stimulation and modulation of inflammatory response.Finally, short-term hypnotherapy can address self-image and self-esteem considerations, thus strengthening the client’s relationship to body image and encouraging more realistic expectations of cosmetic procedures

Physiology of the fat tissueGustavo LeibaschoffWorld Society of Cosmetic Gynecology, USA

Adipose tissue (AT) has long been regarded as mainly a resting tissue dedicated to energy storage and release. In recent years, this view has dramatically changed following new insights into the endocrine activity of adipocytes and the

immunological functions of AT. The biology of AT is a “black hole” in the field of dermatology, aesthetic medicine, plastic, aesthetic and cosmetic surgery. The demand for surgical procedures involving the manipulation of subcutaneous AT is rising every year: surgical removal, liposuction and lipofilling procedures, lysing with hypo-osmotic solutions or phosphatidylcholine/biliary salt mixtures, radiofrequency devices, external ultrasound, cryolypolisis etc. The physicians sucking out AT and placing it elsewhere or using different noninvasive devices with rather crude technology must think carefully about the fate of the tissue and cells they manipulate. Those performing techniques aimed at adipocyte rupture must question the evolution of the products appearing in AT after lesions promoted by such treatments. Obesity is recognized as having an impact on clinical medicine, nutrition and aesthetic medicine but the acknowledged physiological role of subcutaneous AT on skin biology is largely unknown and research is neglected. AT is also an abundant, accessible, and replenish able source of adipose derived adult stem cells that can be isolated from liposuction. These adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are multipotent, differentiating along the adipocyte, chondrocyte, myocyte, and osteoblast lineages. ASCs cells could have potential applications for the repair and regeneration of acute and chronically damaged tissues. Nevertheless, a number of additional pre-clinical safety and efficacy studies will be needed before the promise of these cells can be fully realized. The actual use of PRP and his action over the survive of the fat grafting give a great impulse to the technique of lipografting

The need for a better understanding of AT biology and physiology has never been so acute in the field of medicine, dermatology, aesthetic medicine and aesthetic surgery to improve treatments, surgical practices and outcomes. This presentation will focus on the recent findings in human fat cell (adipocyte) metabolism and AT physiology. AT tissue is now recognized as a key endocrine, autocrine and paracrine organ with white adipocytes, but also cells of the stroma-vascular fraction of AT, secreting a number of hormones and paracrine factors involved in endocrine and/or local regulation inside the AT.

Trans-epidermal pigment releaseGustavo LeibaschoffWorld Society of Cosmetic Gynecology, USA

TEPR is a modern version of on an old technique for removing tattoos. The removal of tattoo pigments using this technique is described as Trans Epidermal Pigment Release (TEPR). An understanding of alternate methods of tattoo removal and

how the skin heals will help in understanding how TEPR works.

Making a tattoo: Tattoo pigments are injected into the skin using needles that deposit them at a particular range of depth. The epidermis is disrupted by the process and heals afterwards in the manner of a graze or superficial burn by re-epithelialisation. Now being intracellular, the pigment is protected from further elimination by the immune system and therefore remains, pigmenting the skin when seen by an external observer through the translucent layers above.

Lasers rely on the principle of selective disruption and destruction of pigment and the cells within which they are contained. Released, broken up pigment molecules are thus exposed to the immune system and recognised as “foreign”.

The problem of tattoo removal from the skin: The efficacy of removing tattoo pigment from the skin without leaving evidence that a tattoo has been there or that an injury to the skin has occurred whilst trying to remove it. The depth at which pigment is placed by the tattooist’s needle varies in absolute millimetres.

Tran’sepidermal pigment release: (TEPR): TEPR utilises the theory of partial thickness wound healing in modified form. Its advance is to rely upon small surface area, closely spaced partial thickness injuries with intervening skin bridges of intact epidermis and dermis. TEPR techniques first create circular patches of de-epithelialized skin in a pattern which covers the area of tattoo.TEPR uses medical grade micro-needles set to precise user defined penetration depths.

Face remolding with volumizing fillerHussein AhmedKaya Skin Clinic, UAE

Introduction: It has been shown that loss of fat in specific compartments of the face is one aspect that contributes to facial aging. One technique to inject facial filler is to fill a specific line. This is most commonly done to fill the naso-labial lines. While this may give some results, other injection modalities were done to achieve better results.

Aim of the work: Injection of the specific facial fat compartments that have lost volume with volumizing filler.

Patients: 10 patients who attend the clinic for anti age service with loss of volume due to aging, or patients who lost face volume after considerable weight loss.

Results: Injection of the voluminizing filler to replace volume loss can markedly improve face contour and restore younger looking.

Biography Hussein Ahmed has completed his MD at the age of 24 years from Suez Canal University, Egypt and got his master Degree in Dermatology and Veneorology in 2003. He had his fellowship in Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland OH in 2006-2008 and his European Board of Dermatology and Veneorology in 2010. He is an Assistant Lecturer of Dermatology and Veneorology in Suez Canal University, Egypt, and a trainer faculty in Centre of Reproductive Medicine, Cleveland Clinic, and USA.

Fat grafting in cranio-maxillofacial regionJed BouguilaSahloul Hospital, Tunisia

Objective: Fat graft is now part of the armamentarium in face plastic surgery. It is successfully used in burn scars, trauma, and congenital malformation. The aim of our study is the discussion of the value of this technique in optimizing cosmetic result in cranio-maxillofacial region.

Material and Method: Twenty-seven adult patients with facial asymmetry due to onchological resection, congenital anomaly, or craniofacial traumatism were selected. The patients were treated by injection of adipose tissue harvested from abdominal subcutaneous fat and processed according to Coleman's technique. Two to three injections were administered at the dermohypodermal junction. Ages, sexes, aetiology of facial deformity, recipient sites, quantity of fat injected, aesthetic results are discussed.

Results: Patient age ranged from 14 to 75 (average 34). Indications for grafts included volumetric defects derived from traumatic sequelae (11 patients), congenital facial anomalies (6 patients), scleroderma (5 patients), oncological resections (4 patients) and radiation injury (2 patients). The clinical appearance, discussed by 3 surgeons and subjective patient feelings, after a 6-month follow-up period suggest considerable improvement in the mimic features, skin texture, and thickness. The result is good in 82% of cases and acceptable in the other cases.

Conclusion: This technique is easily reproducible and provides excellent results. The application of this technology in facial asymmetry may help to obtain good cosmetic results. The technique for harvesting fat from the donor site and reinjecting it into recipient sites can be easily done and easily taught. There is no significant morbidity, and there are no significant complications. Lipostructure seems to complete and improve the results of the standard surgical approach in facial surgery.

Harmony and facial attractiveness: Is golden number yet usable?Jed BouguilaSahloul Hospital, Tunisia

Objective: Since antiquity, philosophy, painting and classical architecture were marked by the search for perfect proportions and magic numbers. The number (ζ = 1.618 ), called Golden Number (The Golden Mean, The Phi Ratio The Fibonacci Ratio, The Divine Ratio, The Golden Section ), is one of those. This number can be traced in the Greek temple in the great Pyramid of Egypt, in the wild and even in the human body defining a certain harmony and beauty. A literature review was performed to analyse facial harmony criteria proposed in the literature.

Material and methods: A systematic search of Pub Med Database between January 2003 and January 2013 was performed. Keywords searched included: « golden number, facial harmony, Facial attractiveness, Facial proportion, Golden ratios, and neoclassical cannons. The level of evidence (LOE) was ranked for each article on a scale from 1 to 5Measured variables in this review included publishing specialty journal, the type of study, year of publication, study population and criteria of facial harmony proposed.

Results: 52 articles remained after duplicate and unrelated citations were removed. These papers included 43 retrospective reviews, 1 Meta-analyze and 8 expert opinions. Orthodontic journals published 31 articles, Oral and maxillofacial surgery journals have published 8 articles and informatics journals published 7 articles. The populations studied were mostly Caucasian or Asian, respectively (35%) and (25%).

Conclusion: The golden ratio is still valid and artificial intelligence is the future. Many mathematical models for attractive faces have been proposed in the literature. But the artistic sense of the surgeon remains, nevertheless, a fundamental element in facial cosmetic surgery.

This presentation is an overview of how stem cell therapies are being performed globally. The presentation entails an overview of the different methods of harvesting and obtaining stem cells through various methodologies and the various

ways the patients are receiving the stem cells. The presentation will also go into detail on the various applications for stem cell therapies and also the clinical studies currently underway for treatments of various conditions, including illness, disease, physical conditions and cosmetic and aesthetic applications. The discussion will also entail a detailed report on some of the drawbacks and false claims made by unethical practitioners who are making claims that cannot be validated or verified through independent third party analysis, lab results and clinical studies. The presentation will also go into detail on all of the newest devices and services that have recently become commercially available for regenerative medicine and where these technologies are being utilized. The science of regenerative medicine and stem cell technologies continue to advance but the commercialization aspects of utilizing these therapies are problematic as each of these need to be cleared through Healthcare Ministries and be in compliance with regulations as established by each country individually. Navigating through the registration process is a matter of great difficulty because the science is ahead of the regulations. The discussion will entail how to get products registered and the hurdles that need to be overcome to establish a presence internationally.

Mechanical or chemical resurfacing? Combine for optimal transformationLaura L McDermottDerma Sweep, USA

Mechanical resurfacing and chemical resurfacing techniques have been around for thousands of years. Both methods of skin resurfacing can produce results for patients with pigmentarydisorders, fine rhytides, acne scarring, oily/sebaceous

skin and overall tone and texture. Both methods have evolved into popular non-invasive cosmetic procedures for photo-aging and other common cosmetic concerns. Which method of resurfacing is better, mechanical or chemical? The objective is to show that optimal results are obtained when the two procedures are combined during a single treatment. Mechanical resurfacing (aka microdermabrasion, mechanical exfoliation or micro-resurfacing) employs the use of a medium, such as crystals, a diamond tip or a bristle tip. The medium is combined with vacuum for exfoliation of the stratum corneum as well as circulation, which supports the inflammatory response in the dermis. An increase in collagen remodeling is shown as well as the stratum corneum normalizing and achieving a healthy "basket weave" appearance, according to studies in the Journal for dermatology surgery. Also increases hydration by improving the barrier function of the skin.

Chemical resurfacing (aka chemical peels or chemical exfoliation) uses a chemical, such as glycolic, salicylic or trichloracetic acid (TCA), to exfoliate the stratum corneum. There are different levels of chemical resurfacing, from superficial to deep peels. The stronger the peel, the better the results but along with deeper peels come risks and complications. Some of the most popular agents used for chemical resurfacing are glycolic, lactic, salicylic and TCA. When the stratum corneum is removed from the mechanical resurfacing im mediately prior to chemical resurfacing, the peeling agent will have increased penetration into the skin. This will also decrease downtime since peeling agents usually go after the keratin. Both methods show an improvement in the skin, but the combination of mechanical resurfacing and chemical resurfacing delivers a synergistic result. Not only are results vastlyimproved but downtime is also decreased. Today, patients want results with little to no downtime, and the combination of mechanical with chemical resurfacing during a single treatment capitalizes on these demands

Healthy skin 365: Suggested steps for healthy, hydrated skinLaura L McDermottDerma Sweep, USA

The uppermost thin layer, stratum corneum, plays a crucial role as a water impermeable skin barrier. After acute damage, it recovers automatically, but with aging, psychological or oxidative stress, the recovery is delayed.The main goal of a skin care

regimen is then to rebuild protect the stratum corneum barrier, and to allow repair and improve recovery processes to maintain its structural and functional integrity. Healthy skin begins with a healthy stratum corneum, the outer most layer of skin that serves as a barrier against desiccation and environmental stressors.The key to a healthy skin barrier is a continuous cycle, which includes: cleansing, exfoliating, nourishing, moisturizing and protecting. The cycle for healthy skin is a skin care regimen which includes the use of medical grade skin care at home and in-office treatments.The cycle to healthy skin and a healthy skin barrier begins with cleansing.The natural acidity of the facial skin acts like a skin barrier that fights bacteria and other environmental aggressors.It is important to use a cleanser that won’t strip your acid mantle and that will leave your skin at a 4-6 pH.Exfoliation at-home can be done by using alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs).AHAs dissolve the cement that holds the dead skin cells together, which increases cellular turnover.They also help to support a healthy skin barrier.In-office exfoliation treatments would include chemical peels (chemical exfoliation) and micro-exfoliation (mechanical exfoliation)treatments; which cause an intraepidermal injury, which then stimulates fibroblast activity and leads to collagen remodeling. After exfoliation, nourish the skin with an antioxidant to help with premature aging.Antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals and can help to rebuild the skin’s barrier.In-office micro-exfoliation also nourishes the dermis through circulation, bringing nutrients & O2 to the surface.Next, moisturizing the skin helps to reduce TEWL, increases hydration and helps to repair the skin barrier.Last, protecting the skin with a broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30+ is imperative for a healthy skin and skin barrier.All skin types, whether oily or not, need a moisturizer.Achieving and maintaining a healthy skin barrier and healthy skin requires a synergistic approach by combining the use of medical grade skin care (proper pH, active ingredients, etc) at home and in-office chemical peels (chemical exfoliation) and micro-exfoliation (mechanical exfoliation)treatments with a trained skin care professional..

Combination therapy: Mechanical resurfacing with adipose derived stem cell media infusionLaura L McDermottDerma Sweep, USA

Background: Mechanical skin resurfacing can produce results for patients with dyschromias, fine rhytides, acne scarring, and oily/sebaceous skin, and can increase overall tone, texture and skin rejuvenation.Adipose-derived stem cell conditioned media, display multi-lineage developmental plasticity and secrete various growth factors that control and manage the damaged neighboring cells.The essential functions of adipose derived stem cells produce and secrete growthfactors which in turn have diverse regenerative effects in the skin.Conditioned medium from adipose derived stem cells stimulatesboth collagen synthesis and migration of dermal fibroblasts, which can improve the wrinkling, accelerate wound healing and improve overall appearance of skin according to Experimental Dermatology May 2011 issue.The overall result is that the skin looks healthy, radiant and exhibits improved aesthetic appearance.Mechanical resurfacing has evolved into a popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure for photo-aging and other common cosmetic concerns and ADSCs are emerging as a leading ingredient in today’s skin care products.

Objective: The objective is to show that optimal results are obtained when combining mechanical resurfacing followed by an ADSC media infusion applied during the same in-office procedure.

Methods: Mechanical resurfacing (microdermabrasion, mechanical exfoliation or microresurfacing) employs the use of a medium, such as a diamond or bristle tip.The medium is combined with vacuum for exfoliation of the stratum corneum as well as circulation, which supports the inflammatory response in the dermis.An increase in collagen remodeling is shown as well as the stratum corneum normalizing and achieving a healthy "basket weave" appearance.There is also increased hydration by improving the barrier function of the skin. When the stratum corneum is removed from the mechanical resurfacing immediately prior to an adipose derived stem cell media infusion, the ADSC media will have increased penetration into the skin.This will maximize the results of wound healing properties and skin regeneration from theADSCs.

Results: Both mechanical resurfacing and the use of topical ADCSs show an improvement in the skin, but the combination therapy of mechanical resurfacing and using an ADSC media infusion immediately post delivers a synergistic result.Not only are results vastly improved, but any downtime is also decreased with the wound healing benefits of ADSCs.

Conclusion: Today, patients desire results with little to no downtime, and the combination therapy of mechanical resurfacing with an ADSC media topical or infusion during a single treatment capitalizes on these demands.

Improving the face of cosmetic medicine: An automatic three-dimensional facial analysis system for facial rejuvenationMichael K Molton Cosm & Derm Laser Surgery, Australia

Technical imaging in medicine is of the highest importance in patient management. With assistance of X-rays, MR, CT and Thallium scans for example, our colleagues assess and diagnose illness and monitor the results of patient interventions.

Accurate imaging to assess and monitor the results of cosmetic medicine has not been paralleled by the advances of technical imaging used in other areas of medicine. The assessment of progress of patients in cosmetic medicine continues to be largely limited to variable and qualitative 2D photography. This presentation demonstrates the use of engineering-quality polygonal best-fit 3D video scanning to firstly assess the patient and secondly to produce a single 3D picture that has been melded from the before and after images to quantitatively demonstrate the results of intervention. In addition, this presentation will highlight research into the impact of cosmetic medicine upon dynamic facial expression changes. .

Endonasal and open approaches in rhinoplasty for management of drooping noseMohsen NaranghiTehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran

Objectives: To know different factors contributing to the nasal tip ptosis. 2) Acknowledge different methods for correction of drooping nose with the advantages of augmentation. 3) Learn and apply efficient augmentation techniques for prevention of tip ptosis during rhinoplasty.

Maintaining long term results in rhinoplasty is the state of art in nasal plastic surgery. Numerous parameters in nasal wound healing and nasal support mechanisms have made rhinoplasty as the most difficult plastic surgery. In the recent years the role of augmentation for tip support has been emphasized by many authors to prevent unwanted long term changes. Unpleasant appearance on animation, inducing aging face and impairing nasal valve function are considerable effects of ptotic noses. Nasolabial angle and tip location are affected by different factors. These factors include the cartilaginous framework of the lower third of the nose and the motor unity of this portion consists of levator labii superioris alaeque nasi and depressor septinasi. The cartilaginous framework and these muscles stand for the static and dynamic factors respectively. This presentation will demonstrate one of the most effective augmentation techniques to make very stable long term results for prevention of nasal ptosis. Multiple aesthetic parameters should be assessed before and at least two years after surgery to evaluate results for drooping tips.The pearls and pitfalls of strut cartilage insertion will be discussed. Open structural and endonasal approaches will be presented with results of both.

Beauty in profile: The magic effect of combined rhinoplasty and genioplastyMohsen NaranghiTehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran

Introduction: The chin like the nose is in a prominent position on the face and plays very important role in facial profile. The important relationship between the nose and chin may be underestimated by plastic surgeons and facial plastic surgeons who perform rhinoplasty. In this article, the author presents personal experience on osteoplastic advancement of chin in patients undergoing rhinoplasty.

Methods: 71 patients underwent genioplasty as a complementary procedure to rhinoplasty. Age of patients ranged from 17 to 43. All procedures were performed under general anesthesia with intraoral incision. After exposing the mentum, horizontal osteotomy was performed for chin advancement at the extent which was estimated on preoperative evaluation. The advanced segment was fixed in place with titanium plates or screws.

Results: Patients were followed 6 months to 7 years after operation. Improvement of facial parameters was observed in all patients. No permanent complication occurred. Three had prolonged hypoesthesia up to 3 and 18 months after surgery.

Conclusion: Advancement genioplasty by osteotomy could be performed in patients with chin problems during or after rhinoplasty to make a beautiful profile. Our experience with osteoplasty showed satisfactory results with no important complication.

Are cosmetics used in developing countries safe? Use and dermal irritation of body care products in Jimma town, southwestern EthiopiaWeyesa AmesaUniversity School of Biological & Chemical Science & Technology, Ethiopia

Background: Rabbit skin model was used to test skin irritation of the most commonly used cosmetic products in Jimma town, southwestern Ethiopia. The most commonly used cosmetics were Dove, Glysolid, College, Top Society, Fair and Lovely, Nivea, Lux, Magic fruit world, Solea, Body talk, Kris, Holly, Victoria, and Sweet Heart.

Methods: Intact and abraded rabbit skins were tested for erythema and edema under shade and under sun exposure. Draize Primary Irritation Index (PII) was used to calculate skin irritation of each cosmetic. Cosmetic ingredients were analyzed from the labels.

Results and Discussion: Only Dove cream caused no skin irritation except for an abraded skin under sun exposure for five consecutive days. It has been identified that application of cosmetics on abraded skin under sunny condition worsens the irritation. Cosmetic labels revealed that most ingredients used in all products were those restricted chemicals due to their adverse health effects.

Conclusion: This study has concluded that use of cosmetics under sunshine and also on abraded skin increases skin irritation. Hence, those users who have abraded skin are advised not to apply those cosmetics on continuous basis specifically under sun exposure.

UAL Remodeling to obtain straight and elongated legsNikolay SerdevNew Bulgarian University, Bulgaria

The surgical use of ultrasonic energy for liposculpture is a selective destruction of the adipose tissue (its fluid fraction=90% of its volume). We have used "sculpture", SMEI s.r.l., Italy since 1994. It is producing low range ultrasounds kHz 20

- 40. The chemo-physical effect of strong sound waves in a fluid acts: 1) a micromechanical effect - violently displacing intracellular molecules, breaking up of chromosomes and missing DNA duplications, 2) a cavitation phenomenon with cellular fragmentation and lipolitic action, 3) thermal effects - restrained extremely. We use 4-6 minutes energy application per ca. 200 cc adipose tissue. Vascular and nervous structures remain undamaged. Indications are: beautification, cellulite, adiposity, lipodistrophy. In our practice we treat 1 to 12 areas at once - face, chicks, fat pads, double chin, body areas: mammary and infra mammary, posterior thoracic, abdomen and pubic, flanks, hips, buttocks, lateral and posterior thigh, medial and anterior thigh, inner knee, calf, ankle, post deltoid etc.). No blood loss could mean unlimited number of areas treated, but the main limitation is the local anesthesia amount per kg body weight. We use local tumescent and additional intravenous monitored anesthesia - mild sedation and i.v. analgesia (opioids - alfetanyl infusion). In the last years we use Vaser in our practice with the same positive effect.

Leg form correction and elongation using ultrasonic liposculpture is done by reducing the fat depots in order to obtain the normal bone-muscle structure form of the normal body, following the aesthetic proportions and principles. The dominant depots spoiling the aesthetic beauty are located at the calfs, ankles, knees, inner thighs, external and dorsal thighs. We use the micromechanical and cavitation phenomenon of the low range ultrasounds KHz 20-40.

Buttocklift and flank reduction also produces optical elongation of the legs. Serdev techniques in UAL are time saving, preventing trauma and bleeding. Post op period is short, no downtime, no or minimal bruising, immediate or very fast return to work and social life.

Fill/Traction to Fill/StimPier Antonio BacciRoma International Estetica, Italy

The process of aging of the face is caused by a series of mechanical, physics, and physiological chemical alterations that reduce the normal metabolic activities and the vascular functions. So we have those alterations and chronic degenerations

characterized by cutaneous excess, reduction and alteration off at tissue, prolapse of the skin. According to the type and of the degree of ageing of the face different treatments can be used, such as surgical or dermatologic cosmetic treatments, on respect of different aesthetic pathologies. In advanced cases, we have traditional lifting but today we can use different mini invasive strategies too. In patients without a true cutaneous excess and tissue prolapse and where the aesthetic pathology is characterized by a reduction of the "structure" and of the "tropism" of the skin, traditional lifting is not always suitable and is not the first indicated treatment, even if it can be sometimes of help. These cases, as a rule, represent the large majority of the patients of 35 to 50 years old. The name “Fill-Traction” means an integrate protocol of treatment for a new youth of the face using in the same session fillers, botulin toxin and absorbable unidirectional barbed threads (Medical Fill-Traction). After 10 years of experience this integrate methodology provides us good results improving the quality of the skin, reducing wrinkles and folds, and harmonizing external aspect. Today we can use a not invasive methodology by PDO micro threads (normal, cog or screws) providing us an interesting stimulation of the tissues, thanks to the improvement of the vascularization and cellular activity. This strategy of bio stimulation may be improved by a periodical use of external oxygen propulsion in association to an external not ablative laser power by a diode laser at 1470 nanometers. This way provides us the stimulation of the mitochondrial activity and the cellular metabolism, the use of the PDO micro threads, inserted as a “quilting way”, provides us an interesting and topical rejuvenation of the tissues

Versatality of a fractional CO2 laserRahul PillaiKkris Skin Care Center & Laser Clinic, India

A fractional CO2 has changed the role of dermatologists-cosmetologists, giving opportunities to explore more into aesthetic surgery as the author truly believes that no one knows the skin better than a dermatologist. It has helped him deliver

better results with minimal downtime for various conditions, at times in a single sitting alone unlike many non-ablative lasers or traditional ablative CO2 lasers. While the potential risks has relegated the use of these lasers to a smaller group of laser surgeons with the expertise to perform various procedures and the willingness to risk potential adverse affects, the results achieved is far superior to any other non ablative lasers. There are few if any, scientific papers on fractional CO2 from Asia, none from the Indian subcontinent, nor are there any recommendations in terms of patients’ selection and parameters for the various FDA approved indications. For any new aesthetic surgeon there is a huge learning curve, which they have to master by trial and error before concluding the best parameters and indication ideally for the treatment. Especially since the Indian sub continental skin type is becoming more popular in Europe and North America, many cosmetic surgeons practicing there also find it difficult to understand and treat this skin type due to lack of studies in it compared to Fitzpatrick skin types 1, 2 and 3. This session is intended to give an idea about the right patient selection, indications and parameters for a fractional CO2, especially for fitzpatrick skin type 4, 5 & 6 for the ideal treatment, minimize complications and downtime, and to give better results, as all FDA approved indication don’t yield good results with a fractional CO2, especially considering the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and other complications that could occur.

Outpatient rhinoplasty under local tumescent anesthesia-Technical note and initial experienceRaúl Jiménez BellingaUniversidad Complutense de Madrid, Spain

Background and objectives: We present our experience using the technique of tumescent local anesthetic infiltration for nasal cosmetic surgery including osteotomies and functional surgery in the septum.

Material and Methods: We present the technique of tumescent local anesthetic infiltration step by step, as well as the surgical technique in a series of 95 cases of cosmetic septorhinoplasty from November 2012 until April 2014. In several cases septoplasty and osteotomies were performed.

Discussion: We try to show the advantages of this new technique in our private practice, reducing costs and offering another option to the patient. Every case was successfully performed, without pain or discomfort. Surgical time varied between 45 minutes and an hour and 35 minutes.

Conclusions: Rhinoplasty performing local tumescent anesthesia is a perfectly valid option in cases of purely cosmetic surgery of the nose and to correct septal cartilage disorders. It is cheaper and offers the same results than the traditional method.

Skin nutrition-Pay it forwardSusana DantasThorn Hill, Canada

We often neglect the needs of skin assuming our diet and DNA will dictate the state of our skin. But is that enough? What if we had more control in maintaining healthy skin? Skin nutrition is the most valuable precursor to maintain beautiful

skin for a lifetime. Through skin nutrition we are able to nourish vitamin depleted skin. The results, healthy skin that can withstand harmful environmental elements, receive optimal results from treatments such as peels, microdermabrasion, laser and injections and of course the battle against father time. So what do we feed the skin? How do we feed the skin? How do we reverse existing damage? We need to focus on what is in the products we apply to our skin. We need to acknowledge the need for active ingredients in our products. We need to ensure that our products are packaged effectively. We need to protect and implement a means to administer these products to cellular level to correct, restore and maintain skin health. It is of upmost importance to ensure that we up our game in our homecare regime to preserve the integrity of the skin day by day and to receive the best results from our industry’s selection of antidotes for anti-aging.

Vitiligo repigmentation-Through Unani medicine, scope of an integrated approachWaheed M A, Samad M A and Ali SkCentral Research Institute of Unani Medicine, India

Vitiligo a dermatological, cosmetic, social and not always a genetic problem is affecting 0.5-1% of the World population. 10,475 self reporting clinically diagnosed vitiligo patients were compared in a double blind parallel group study. They were

treated and evaluated once in three months for 18 months in relation to their mode and rate of regimentation as follicular and peri-lesional in relation to the site and extension of lesions. The response was assessed for different ages, duration of disease, clinical involvement (types of vitiligo) as non-dermatomal, dermatomal, mucosal, acrofacialis, focal and mixed Vitiligo. 4775 patients were treated with UNIM 001 + 003(A) & 5700 patients treated with UNIM 004+ 005(B) (coded) drugs for both systemic and topical use. Both the formulations were effective in regimenting the depigmented macules. However, non-dermatomal vitiligo showed mean 67.38+16.18 and dermatomal vitiligo recorded 59.16+19.21 mean percent repigmentation with UNIM 004+005(coded), had significantly responded than other types of vitiligo p<0.001 and mucosal Vitiligo regained 39.05+14.89 repigmentation p<0.05 with UNIM 001+003(coded). The formulations were equally effective in both extensive and non-extensive depigmented macules. However, lesions on scalp, face, limbs and trunk have responded significantly than other sites p<0.05. The non-repigmented macular surface needs surgical intervention once the disease becomes stable. The scope of the surgical intervention in vitiligo management as an integrated approach will be discussed at length.

Combination therapy PDO beauty lift threads + LPGAndrzej Kepa SwedenMed beauty, Poland

PDO Threads: The production of collagen occurs more effectively in a humidified environment with appropriate presence of suitable amount of hyaluronic acid. Treatments affecting the increase in the amount of endogenous hyaluronic acid, also indirectly affect to increase and enhance the production of collagen. Polidioxanone threads (threads PDO) is a kind of pacemaker tissue which, once placed in the appropriate layer of the dermis results in stimulation of tissue response in the form of the production of new collagen. This process usually begins after about 10-14 days after the treatment and lasts as long as the PDO threads remain in the body (typically about 9 months). PDO Threads + LPG Mechanical stimulation of the dermis using LPG endermology also increases the amount of endogenous hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin. Combination treatment using threads PDO threads and procedure of using cyclic endermology may significantly affect the severity of the aesthetic effects of either method. Using LPG endermology procedure preceding implantation PDO threads is designed to prepare the skin and stimulate appropriate reparative and regenerative mechanisms leading to stimulation of fibroblasts. Period of 14 days break between the injection of the PDO threads and endermology treatments is to enable the appropriate implant PDO thread and sufficient positioning her in the dermis. Endermology performed from 3rd week after the treatment of PDO threads is to maintain the skin at a sufficiently high level of metabolism, which in turn leads to a greater production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Another very important element in stimulating the production of collagen is micro-irritation of the dermis located inside the PDO thread, which stimulates a specific cascade of responses in the form of foreign body reaction and, consequently, leads to increased production of natural collagen. Extending the indications LPG + PDO implantation PDO threads directly in the fat tissue to stimulate the natural process of lipolysis. This indication is used for the reduction of fatty deposits in the cheeks, jaw line and chin. This PDO threads property was also used in the treatment of cellulite on the type of fat and mixed. Extending the indications LPG + PDO The combination endermology and thread PDO in fat reduction surgery will significantly improve the effectiveness of both treatments. The combination endermology and PDO threads in fat reduction treatment will significantly improve the effectiveness of both treatments.

Endermologie is a proven and effective method for influencing the improvement of the condition and structure of the skin. New research confirms the effectiveness of LPG in the stimulation of the production of hyaluronic acid, elastin and collagen in a huge way to extend the range of indications for its use PDO threads is a novelty with proven efficacy in clinical trials in the field of non-surgical face lift and body. Its mechanism of action is to stimulate the production of new collagen, the linear positioning along the implanted thread allows for the effects of a facelift. A combination of LPG and PDO threads sets new trends in the field of non-invasive aesthetic treatments in the range of face and body. The consequence of the coming months will be to implement uniform procedures for the treatment of both methods.

Accelerating the healing mechanism of Pseudomonas aeruginosa contaminated injuries by ELF electromagnetic waves of resonance frequency for collagen molecules: A new methodFadel M AliCairo University, Egypt

Injuries infected with Pseudomonas Aeruginosa (PS) suffer from slow and resistant healing process. In a previous work it was found that PS activity was inhibited after being exposed to 0.8 Hz electromagnetic waves (EMW) for 1 h. Therefore, in this

work, a new method was used to accelerate healing process of PS contaminated injuries by activation of collagen in the injured area with the inhibition of PS activity. The resonance frequency of collagen molecules was determined by dielectric relaxation study. The results indicated that dielectric relaxation of the collagen molecules was at 1 MHz. 45 rats were subjected to injuries in the thigh and equally divided into three groups named A, B, and C. In group B and C injuries in rats were contaminated with PS. Animals of group C were exposed to a amplitude modulated waves (AMW) of 1 MHz carrier frequency and 0.8 Hz modulation frequency for a period of 3 days at a rate of 1 h per day. The results also indicated that the exposure of group C injuries to AMW cause the acceleration of healing mechanism of the infected wounds and hair started to appear in injured areas, 3 weeks post infection, as compared with groups A and B. It may be concluded that the use of 1.0 MHz EMW as a physiotherapy for improving skin activity is a promising new technique.
