Update in minimally invasive periorbital rejuvenation with a focus on platelet-rich plasma: A narrative review.
2020
Background The periorbital region is among the first areas to be affected by the process of aging, which is influenced by genetic and constitutional factors. As the region plays an important role in overall facial appearance, rejuvenation of the area has immense cosmetic benefit and various treatment modalities have been used to achieve the same. Aims This article reviews commonly used non-surgical and minimally invasive modalities for periorbital rejuvenation. Methods The literature research considered published journal articles (clinical trials or scientific reviews). Studies were identified by searching electronic databases (MEDLINE and PubMed) and reference lists of respective articles.…
Complications of harvesting a connective tissue graft from the palate. A retrospective study and description of a new technique
2017
Background Connective tissue graft (CTG) is considered as the gold standard for the treatment of gingival recessions (GR). There are few studies assessing the complications that can arise in the donor site when harvesting a connective tissue graft (CTG) and how the harvesting technique can influence those complications. Material and methods A retrospective clinical study was carried out in order to compare the complications observed in 40 patients with Miller class I, II and III GR ≥ 3 mm, after using the trap-door technique (TD) in the control group and a newly described technique, the "UPV/EHU technique", in the test group. Patients were consecutively allocated to each treatment group. Pa…
A diagnostic trap for the dermatopathologist: granulomatous reactions from cutaneous microimplants for cosmetic purposes.
2007
We present a case of late granulomatous reactions from silicone that first appeared in a site different from that of the injection causing an incorrect diagnosis of liposarcoma in the beginning. The histological picture was a cystic-macrophagic granuloma in both the injection site (upper lip) and the migrating site (paranasal regions). We think that the foreign body has undergone an antigravity migration from the upper lip to the right paranasal region. To our knowledge, such a phenomenon has not been yet reported in literature.
Evaluating resurfacing modalities in aesthetics.
2022
Abstract Skin resurfacing for cutaneous rejuvenation has evolved with the development of a plethora of nonsurgical and minimally invasive modalities. We have highlighted the advances in laser therapy, chemical peels, radiofrequency, microneedling, and platelet-rich plasma therapy. We have also included studies providing head-to-head comparisons between procedures and discussed relevant debates in the field. We have examined additionally combination treatments and resurfacing in acne scars, melasma, and skin of color.
Kosmētikas industrijas ilgtspējīgās attīstības reklāmu multimodālā analīze
2020
Mūsdienu komunikācija un informācijas apmaiņa notiek ne tikai izmantojot valodu, bet arī dažādus citus komunikācijas izteiksmes veidus, kā piemēram, attēlus, žestus, krāsas, mūziku un balsi. Multimodalitāte kosmētikas nozares ilgtspējīgās reklāmās tika izvēlēta, ņemot vērā pašreizējo pieaugošo pieprasījumu pēc ilgtspējīgiem izstrādājumiem, kā arī tendences komunikāciju izpaust dažādos citos veidos, ne tikai ar valodas palīdzību. Šajā pētījumā tika izmantota kvalitatīvā multimodālā analīze, balstoties uz Kresa un van Līvena (2006) (Kress and van Leeuwen) vizuālo komunikāciju modeli. Pētījuma korpuss sastāvēja no divpadsmit ilgtspējības reklāmām no dažādiem kosmētikas zīmoliem Latvijā, Amerik…

UV filters: From sunscreens to human body and the environment
2007
Recognition of the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the skin has triggered development of organic chemicals (commonly referred as UV filters) that can absorb UV radiation and attenuate the negative effects of sunlight exposure. Depending on the properties and the intended degree of protection, a wide array of combinations is being marketed as delivering protection against most kinds of UV-induced skin damage. However, some UV filters have dermatological implications, so maximum applicable concentrations have been established. To monitor to what extent commercial products comply with the mandatory limits, several analytical methods have been used for their determination in co…
Advantages of Hyaluronic Acid and Its Combination with Other Bioactive Ingredients in Cosmeceuticals
2021
This study proposes a review on hyaluronic acid (HA) known as hyaluronan or hyaluronate and its derivates and their application in cosmetic formulations. HA is a glycosaminoglycan constituted from two disaccharides (N-acetylglucosamine and D-glucuronic acid), isolated initially from the vitreous humour of the eye, and subsequently discovered in different tissues or fluids (especially in the articular cartilage and the synovial fluid). It is ubiquitous in vertebrates, including humans, and it is involved in diverse biological processes, such as cell differentiation, embryological development, inflammation, wound healing, etc. HA has many qualities that recommend it over other substances used…
