Morphological characterization of two dermal and hypodermal alterations in an adult man: surgical scar vs. stretch mark.

Scars and stretch marks are extremely common. For scars, evidence of alterations of the dermal and hypodermic layers is known, while for stretch marks, less data are available, and they are considered purely aesthetic conditions. The intra- and inter-subject variability of the skin makes the comparison between these two particularly complex.

The Use of Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid in Non-surgical Rhinoplasty Using Italian Technique.

Introduction: Projection and upper rotation to the tip is fundamental in the nasal rejuvenation, as a matter of fact the tip is the most important and has strongly effects on the improve appearance and quality of life. The aim of the present study was to evaluate reshaping the tip of the nose by cross-linked hyaluronic acid using Italian technique.

Methods: In a period between November 2019 and 2023, a total of one hundred and forty healthy, 95 females and 45 man patients, were performed with a mean age 44±5 (age range: 31-52 years old) affected by tip of congenital (22) or ageing nose hypotonia (118), and reduced volume that need of an elevation of the nose tip.

The efficacy of hyaluronic acid fragments with amino acid in combating facial skin aging: an ultrasound and histological study.

Background: Various techniques have been employed in aesthetic medicine to combat skin aging, in particular that of the facial region. Hyaluronic acid is utilized to enhance moisture levels and extracellular matrix molecules. This study aims to histologically assess the effects of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid fragments combined with amino acids (HAAM) on facial skin rejuvenation through intradermal microinjections.

Gluteal femoral subcutaneous and dermal adipose tissue in female.

Background: During the sexual maturation, gluteal femoral adipose tissue is subjected to numerous modifications, not observable in other regions, in particular in women and less in men. Other authors described this region, but they used imaging techniques having lower resolution, than MRI proposed in this study. High resolution imaging techniques might provide important and more detailed information about the anatomy of gluteal femoral region.

Heating of metallic orthodontic devices during anti-aging treatment with vacuum and electromagnetic fields: In vitro study.

Background: The physical appearance of an individual plays a primary role as it influences the opinion of the viewer. For this reason, orthodontic therapy to improve perceived aesthetics is in high demand among patients. This factor, combined with the increase in the number of non-invasive facial aesthetic treatments, has led to the need to understand potential risk factors in the application of medical devices to the perioral skin in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances.
