The Art of Liquid Face Lift (Dermal Fillers)Osama Moawad
Soft tissue fillers are flexible substances that can be injected into the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plump lips, fill hollow cheeks, repair various facial imperfections, improve scars, and elevate deep folds. Perhaps nothing is more gratifying for cosmetic patients than having an immediate correction of rhytides or scars as a result of the injection of a dermal filler The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance with minimal "downtime" and maximum safety. Prof. Moawad uses a variety of soft tissue fillers, including, hyaluronic acid, and autologous fat (one's own fat) among others. Since filler substances do not involve major surgery and are generally cost-effective, men and women are using these youth-enhancing techniques more than ever. With the increasing desire for people to achieve a more youthful appearance, the aging baby boomer population, and the increased demand for "lunch-time procedures," the pharmaceutical market has responded by providing the cosmetic surgeon with an increasing number of options to meet the demands of the cosmetic patient.

This document discusses facial aging and the use of hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane to address signs of aging. It notes that nearly half of Americans are unhappy with their appearance and aging affects the face through thinning skin, loss of fat pads and volume. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the body and stabilizing it through cross-linking allows fillers to last longer while degrading slowly over time through isovolemic degradation, maintaining the initial volume. Non-animal fillers like Restylane use minimal cross-linking and purification processes to closely mimic natural hyaluronic acid for a biocompatible and forgiving product with long-lasting but gradual results.
Presentazione nell'ambito del corso di Sistemi Operativi Avanzati 14/15 della magistrale in Informatica dell'Università degli Studi di Salerno. Autori: Giovanni Grano & Gino Farisano
Reversal of a HLA dermal filler induced facial artery occlusionDr. Patrick J. Treacy
Severe vascular adverse events, such as occlusion, can occur after treatment with dermal fillers in the glabellar and nasolabial regions. The author proposes that late onset vascular occlusion may be caused by hyaluronic acid expanding and compressing underlying arteries after injection. To treat impending necrosis from filler-induced vascular occlusion, the author recommends higher than normal doses of hyaluronidase, intravenous steroids, and other measures to increase blood flow and oxygen delivery. While most adverse reactions are mild and transient, practitioners must understand vascular anatomy and have protocols in place to promptly treat more serious complications like vascular occlusion.
Measurement Of Facial Skin And Soft Tissue Laxityplasticclinic
The document describes a new quantitative method for measuring facial skin and soft tissue laxity developed by Dr. Mohamed Makboul. The method involves a two-step process of physical examination and photographic assessment to classify patients into one of six classes of laxity for four facial regions - upper, middle, and lower face as well as the neck. The physical examination identifies superficial, deep, or mixed laxity using pinch tests, while the photographic assessment divides the face into regions and rates laxity in each region and side based on distinguishing signs. Two case studies demonstrate how to use the classification system to rate laxity levels in the different facial regions.
This document discusses facial aesthetics and beauty. It begins by examining what makes a face beautiful, including harmony and proportions of features like the eyes, nose, lips and chin. It then discusses psychology related to beauty, noting attractive people are often judged more positively. The document outlines features of a young face and how aging affects the skin and volume. It promotes Restylane dermal fillers and skinboosters as natural, safe products to reduce wrinkles, add volume, and rejuvenate skin from within by replenishing hyaluronic acid levels. Treatments are described as quick and painless, with minimal side effects, and results are visible immediately with long-lasting effects.
RADIESSE® — For Volume and Contours
The treatment of individual wrinkles is often not enough to restore a youthful and fresh appearance. In order to counter the effects of gravity and regain a younger shape, the face needs real volume. This can be achieved with a dermal filler which also re-stimulates natural collagen production for effective and lasting volume.
Thanks to a special gel-matrix, Radiesse® volumising filler creates immediately visible results. With its fine calcium microspheres Radiesse® volumising filler stimulates the body's natural collagen formation to create long-lasting volume. The gel itself, as well as the microspheres, are completely broken down by the body over time.
Radiesse® volumising filler puts volume back exactly where it was. With gentle volumising deeper wrinkles and hollow or sagging cheeks disappear, and the natural facial contours return.
Dual effect volume formation
Immediate effect due to elastic gel-matrix
Long-acting effect thanks to collagen stimulation
Safe to use
Comprehensive clinical studies confirm effectiveness and tolerance
Ask your doctor what Radiesse® volumising filler can do for you

Dr Treacy is considered one of the most influential aesthetic
practitioners in the world, having forever altered the field of
aesthetic medicine. With anecdotes taken from his extraordinary memoir – and reveals why he finally decided to lift the mask.
A 53-year-old Irish female presented with an intractable trigeminal neuralgia pain in the region of her left maxillary nerve (V2) who did not respond to pharmacotherapy including pregabalin 300mgs bd and gabapentin 300mgs bd. She had been admitted to hospital for one month for intravenous oxycodone hydrochloride. She had also more than fifty nerve blocks in the previous years and had undergone stereotactic gamma knife radiosurgery which had work for five months but later resulted in uncontrollable dysesthesia pain in the region of her left maxillary nerve. She defined this as a continual unpleasant sensation of something 'crawling' under her skin in her left periorbital. There was a sensation of intense pain in her left external nasal area and that of electric shock, burning, and pins and needles and left mental area.
One of aesthetic medicines most notable characters,
Dr Patrick Treacy shares some of his favourite anecdotes
from his extraordinary memoir and reveals why he finally
decided to lift the mask.
Although having a facial disfigurement secondary to trauma, a birthmark, a birth defect or some abnormality does not affect a patient’s health; society deems it often leads to stigmatisation and limitations of opportunities afforded to others.
Split earlobe injuries are relatively common in individuals with pierced ears. They result from various forms of trauma, including babies pulling earrings, spousal abuse, and heavy earrings. Complete lobe clefts usually occur from either sudden pull injuries or from chronic traction.
Dr Patrick Treacy shares some of his most challenging cases. This month he ta...Dr. Patrick J. Treacy
A 61-year-old Irish female, presented with complete pulled earlobes bilaterally as a consequence of possible low placement of original piercings and pendulous ear-rings. She wanted repair of the defect so she could begin to wear her earrings again. The patient was in no distress the defect had caused scar tissue along the involved cleft.
Dr Patrick Treacy shares some of his most challenging cases.
This month he talks about treating Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma. Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. They typically occur in the skin but may rarely occur in the mouth, intestines, or eye. In women they most commonly occur on the legs, while in men they are most common on the back. Sometimes they develop from a mole with concerning changes including an increase in size, irregular edges, change in color, itchiness, or skin breakdown
A 32-year-old male patient presented with a large wart on his second finger and numerous warts on his right foot. Warts are a common skin infection caused by HPV that can persist for many years. Diagnosis of warts is usually not difficult to make clinically or histologically. Treatment options for warts include cryotherapy, which the author uses to treat digital warts, CO2 laser for foot warts, salicylic acid, photodynamic therapy, lasers, and other topical treatments. While many treatments are available, evidence for their efficacy is sometimes limited.
Dr Patrick Treacy on devices for dealing with post-pregnancy baby weightDr. Patrick J. Treacy
Pregnancy leads to many changes in a woman’s
body, mainly through the interaction of steroid
hormones, lactogen and cortisol on the underlying
tissues and structures. The growing foetus itself
causes mechanical change also by stretching
skin, muscle and fascia and demanding an increased
calorific supply. The amount of extra weight gained
during pregnancy varies among women.
1) The document describes a case of a 47-year-old man who developed gustatory sweating (Frey's syndrome) after undergoing endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy surgery 16 years prior.
2) Frey's syndrome causes sweating, flushing, and warming of the face and neck in response to eating. It is treated using botulinum toxin injections, which were effective in resolving the patient's symptoms.
3) Botulinum toxin injections of 3 mouse units per square centimeter is an effective, minimally invasive treatment for Frey's syndrome that can provide relief of symptoms for over 12 months.

Dr Patrick Treacy discusses dermal filler complications and how to deal with ...Dr. Patrick J. Treacy
At present, there’s a paucity of literature regarding both the prevention and management of serious events, despite the fact that these complications are the very things that patients and physicians both continually fear. Many physicians, (including myself), feel that corporate prefer not to address these issues and they are driven underground. Over the years, many of my colleagues have referred me their more serious problems and I consequently have developed a certain experience in this area. This insight into complications of dermal filler use will serve to highlight both of these problems and try to help one manage these complications if they should ever happen to you.
Dr. Patrick Treacy is chairman of several medical organizations focused on cosmetic medicine and aesthetic training. He has pioneered techniques for facial reconstruction and has trained over 800 medical professionals worldwide. Dr. Treacy will be giving a presentation at the British College of Aesthetic Medicine Conference on the risks of soft tissue fillers and the importance of proper injection technique to avoid complications like vascular occlusion.
This month sees the publication of Dr Patrick Treacy’s memoirs. Vicky Eldridge reveals what readers can expect from this fascinating insight into the life of one of the industry’s best-known doctors

Dr Patrick Treacy on Diagnosis and Treatment of Malignant Melanoma Dr. Patrick J. Treacy
A 23-year-old Siberian female patient presented with a changing lesion on her abdomen. The patient stated the lesion was present for about two years and it started
off from within a freckle, which started to grow larger and somewhat darken in appearance. It had the clinical appearance of a melanoma and the dermoscopy three-point checklist (designed to allow non-experts not to miss detection of melanomas) was used to determine whether this had a high likelihood of malignancy. It included:
Asymmetry: asymmetry of colour and structure in one or
two perpendicular axes
Atypical network: pigment network with irregular holes
and thick lines
Blue-white structures: there was some evidence of blue-
white veil and regression structures
This document discusses a case of idiopathic scrotal calcinosis (ISC) in a 26-year-old male who presented with multiple asymptomatic scrotal nodules. Physical examination revealed multiple firm subcutaneous nodules of varying sizes within the scrotal wall. Histology showed calcifications within cystic spaces and a foreign body giant cell reaction, consistent with a diagnosis of scrotal calcinosis. ISC is a rare benign condition typically appearing in men aged 20-40 years as hard, yellowish nodules within the scrotal skin. Surgery is the treatment of choice for cosmetic reasons, as the nodules can affect quality of life.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

4. Azzalure ® Azzalure ® Azzalure®, botulinum toxin type A, has been available in the U.K. and Ireland since the early 1990s as the brand name Dysport®, which has licences for various indications in 67 countries worldwide, including the United Kingdom and many European markets. It gained approval for cosmetic use in the UK in early 2009 and is marketed for this indication, with dosing specific to treat glabellar (frown) lines, under the brand name Azzalure®. It is manufactured by the French company Ipsen and commercialised by Galderma.
6. Bocouture ® BOCOUTURE®, botulinum toxin type A, has been available in the U.K. and Ireland since 2008 as the brand name Xeomin ®, which is licenced in Europe for blepharospasm and cervical dystonia. It gained approval for cosmetic use in the UK in July 2010 and is marketed for this indication, with dosing specific to treat glabellar (frown) lines, under the brand name Bocouture®. Bocouture® claims to be an innovative Botulinum type A formulation, in which the complexing proteins have been removed by an extensive purification process from the botulinum toxin complex.
7. Bocouture ® It is widely accepted that the bacterial protein present in other products play a role as promoters of an immune reaction, resulting in a loss of effect and reduction in duration of activity. Studies show that Bocouture®, without the complexing proteins, has the lowest content of protein of all of the available botulinum toxins and furthermore show that repeated application of Bocouture®, even in high doses, does not induce the formation of neutralising anti-bodies. This means that Bocouture® is able to provide similar results to those achievable with the other products without the risk of antibody formation, providing continual long lasting effects. This could be relevant when large doses are being used for medical indications, but many industry experts questions the relevance when this product is used for cosmetic purposes.
9. Botox ® Currently the number one non-surgical aesthetic treatment in the U.S., Botox® is also the leading brand of botulinum toxin type - A in terms of documented clinical trials and practical use around the world. Botox® was the first botulinum toxin to gain a cosmetic licence endorsing its use for glabellar lines and wrinkles. It is approved for this indication in the U.S. and around twelve other countries in the world, and was licenced for this use in the U.K. in March 2006 under the brand name Vistabel ®
11. Dysport ® Dysport ® Dysport®, botulinum toxin type A, has been available in the U.K. since the early 1990`s and has licences in 67 countries worldwide including the United Kingdom and many European markets. It is manufactured by the French company Ipsen. The product is licensed for cosmetic use in a number of markets e.g. glabellar (frown) lines in Germany. It also gained approval for cosmetic use in the UK in early 2009 and is marketed for this indication, with a dosing specific to treat glabellar lines, under the brand name Azzalure ® by Galderma. .
13. Neurobloc ® Neurobloc ® Neurobloc® became available in the U.K. in 2001. There is limited experience in the use of this type of toxin, and the product does not currently have approval for cosmetic use anywhere in the world. As a result of this very few U.K. practitioners have any experience in the use of this product for lines and wrinkles. Generic name Clostridium botulinum type - B neurotoxin complex
14. Neurobloc ® Myobloc® (rimabotulinumtoxinB) Injection is soldin the US and approved in Canada. MYOBLOC is also being distributed as NeuroBloc® (Botulinum Toxin Type B) in the EU, Norway and Iceland and as Myobloc®(Botulinum Toxin Type B) Injectable Solution in Korea.
16. Vistabel ® Vistabel ® Botox ® was the first botulinum toxin to gain a cosmetic licence endorsing its use for glabellar lines and wrinkles. It was licenced for this use in the U.K. in March 2006. It gained approval for cosmetic use in France in early 2003 and is marketed there under the brand name Vistabel®. With dosing specific to treat glabellar lines, it is also marketed for cosmetic use in the UK under the brand name Vistabel® and is the first brand of botulinum toxin type A licensed for cosmetic use in the UK.
18. Xeomin ® Launched in the UK and Ireland in 2008, Xeomin® is the third botulinum toxin type A to be promoted in the UK. Xeomin® claims to be an innovative Botulinum type A formulation, in which the complexing proteins have been removed by an extensive purification process from the botulinum toxin complex. In contrast to the other commercially available preparations, Xeomin® contains the pure 150 kD neurotoxin.
19. Xeomin ® Studies show that Xeomin®, without the complexing proteins, has the lowest content of protein of all of the available botulinum toxins and furthermore show that repeated application of Xeomin®, even in high doses, does not induce the formation of neutralising anti-bodies. This means that Xeomin® is able to provide similar results to those achievable with the other products without the risk of antibody formation, providing continual long lasting effects. This could be relevant when large doses are being used for medical indications, but many industry experts questions the relevance when this product is used for cosmetic purposes.
26. Aquamid ® Aquamid™ This product was launched in the U.K. in 2003. Aquamid™ contains about 2 - 3% of cross-linked polyacrylamide gel network and with the remaining part of 97 - 98% being water. The molecule is not dissolved in water, but "swollen" like a sponge. The gel is in dynamic equilibrium with the surrounding tissue, but still the polymer retains its ability to hold water and remains elastic over an extended time.
27. Aquamid ® Aquamid™ has been used for aesthetic correction for more than ten years in 30,000 patients in the previous Soviet Union and Europe. Polyacrylamides have been used for many years in the United States and Europe for treatment of drinking water, and is also found in soft contact lenses, and tissue implant material.
29. Atlean ® Atlèan™ ßTCP French company ABR Development (now part of Stiefel Laboratories Inc.), the pharmacists who invented Sculptra ® launched their new volumising filler product, Atlèan™ βTCP, in the UK and Ireland in June 2007. As a result, you may only come across a few practitioners using this product currently.
30. Atlean ® Atlèan™ is a tri-calcium phosphate product in the form of a white gel which the manufacturer claims gives the same volumising and sculpting visual effects as the poly-l-lactic acid based filler, Sculptra™ but without the 4 - 6 week wait to see the benefits. This is due to the fact that Atlèan™ also contains hyaluronic acid which gives an immediate visible result, which lasts for up to 3 months, whilst the tri-calcium phosphate helps to stimulate the production of new collagen in the treated area for a longer lasting result. What does it contain? A 1ml syringe of Atlèan™ contains 70mg of Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP), 18mg of hyaluronic acid and 8mg of carmellose sodium (a stabilising agent), within a 1ml of buffered saline solution. TCP is bio-compatible (compatible with body tissues), bio-degradable, immunologically inert (i.e. does not effect the immune system) and non-toxic. It has been used in medicine for years, for example, in bone regeneration after fractures. The non-animal based hyaluronic acid is derived from bacterial fermentation.
31. Atlean ® The manufacturer claims that the product can help cause new collagen growth rather than just mechanically filling depressions, making it a sculpting agent rather than just a wrinkle filler; although the addition of a recognised wrinkle filling agent (hyaluronic acid) into the product means that patient satisfaction from an immediate visible result is greater. What does it contain? A 1ml syringe of Atlèan™ contains 70mg of Tri-Calcium Phosphate (TCP), 18mg of hyaluronic acid and 8mg of carmellose sodium (a stabilising agent), within a 1ml of buffered saline solution.
33. Ellanse ® Ellanséis a new and unique non-animal, non-bacterial and non-human derived dermal filler family which are said by the manufacturer to be cost-effective by requiring less product, compared to others, for the same indications. The Ellansé family (S, M, L, E) has four distinctive duration formulations to choose from, from 1 to 4 years or more. Ellansé is composed of totally smooth polycaprolactone (PCL) microspheres (diameter of 25 – 50 μm) suspended in an aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) gel–carrier and is constituted of 30% PCL microspheres suspended in 70% gel carrier.

38. Evolence ® Launched in the UK at the beginning of 2005, EVOLENCE™ is a new, collagen-based dermal filler manufactured by ColBar LifeScience (now part of OrthoNeutrogena, a division of Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc., a Johnson & Johnson company). It was officially launched in Europe in October 2004 at the 13th EADV Congress in Florence, Italy. It is intended for the correction of wrinkles, nasolabial folds, scars, atrophy from disease or trauma, defects secondary to rhinoplasty (nose surgery), skin graft or other surgically-induced irregularities and other soft tissue defects or deficiencies.
39. Evolence ® What does it contain? The highly purified collagen in EVOLENCE™ is derived from porcine (pig) tendons. Due to their high degree of compatibility with the human body’s immune system, porcine collagen materials are often used in human medicine, e.g., in heart valve replacements, implantable lenses, and surgical wound dressings. How is it made? Using their patented Glymatrix™ technology, they firstly break down the source material into pure collagen molecules.
41. Novabel ® Novabel® is not a hyaluronic acid based injectable product but is in fact a patented, plant-based or alginate composition from sea algae which it is claimed results in an easier injection with much less swelling, making results more visible. An 18 month study has shown excellent safety results according to the company. Early indications are that results should persist for 12 months or more. The product will be available through trained UK cosmetic practitioners towards the spring and summer of 2010. Information will be updated at that time.
42. Novabel ® *** IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT *** Sales and marketing of Novabel® temporarily suspended. Merz Aesthetics has suspended sales of its new flagship facial shaping product, Novabel®, amid concerns following reports of a few patients treated with the product in the infra-orbital region who suffered adverse reactions. In a letter out to its customers, Merz said; “Given the unique composition of Novabel an effective treatment has not yet been identified to quickly resolve these events. Reported: 30th June 2010
