Heterogeneous crow's feet line patterns and customized botulinum toxin rejuvenating treatment.

Background: From early dynamic lines in smiling and squinting young people, crow's feet lines in the lateral canthal region evolve through prolonged tissue remodeling into mature, stable rhytids after the mid-to-late thirties, and requests for rejuvenating treatment. Because of the heterogeneous fanning behavior of crow's feet lines, individualizing neuromodulation with botulinum toxin injections might be a sound strategy to maximize aesthetic outcomes.

Aims: To investigate the prevalence of variable crow's feet line patterns at maximum contracture and while smiling and comment on the relative distribution of such patterns and the influence of aging.

Midface 3D restoration with an innovative high G' filler.

Background: In the evaluation of the facial aging, the midface certainly represents the part that undergoes the most modifications and in which the aging process is most evident. The filling and redefinition of this part are fundamental to modify the perception of the age of the face and create a global rejuvenation effect. In general, high G' fillers with a deep implant are used to treat the midface, taking advantage of the high lifting capacity and persistence of the implant in place.

Open-Label, Post-Marketing Study to Evaluate the Performance and Safety of Calcium Hydroxylapatite With Integral Lidocaine to Correct Facial Volume Loss.

Background: Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA, Radiesse®) with integral 0.3% lidocaine (CaHA(+)) has recently been approved for use in aesthetic medicine. This study assessed the performance of CaHA(+) in subjects undergoing treatment for facial volume loss and evaluated subject and physician satisfaction.

Treatment of Lateral Periorbital Lines with Different Dilutions of IncobotulinumtoxinA.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite for Augmentation of Face and Hands: A Retrospective Analysis in Italian Subjects.

To assess the use and safety of calcium hydroxylapatite for volume restoration of the face and hands in clinical practice, subjects from four Italian aesthetic clinics who had received calcium hydroxylapatite augmentation treatment between January 2012 and December 2013 were recruited. Records were retrospectively reviewed for demographic characteristics, number of treatments, area treated, injection depth and volume, method of administration, and adverse events. A total of 1,783 treatments were administered to 800 subjects (female: 93.

Non-sequential fractional ultrapulsed CO2 resurfacing of photoaged facial skin: preliminary clinical report.

This study evaluates results, adverse side effects and downtime of the protocol 'ActiveFX' for photodamaged facial skin. A non-sequential fractional ultrapulsed CO2 laser with specific settings is used in addition to a new computer pattern generator (CPG). From September 2006 to March 2007, 55 patients underwent this new 'soft' single-session, single-pass and full-face ablative fractional treatment.

Intense pulsed light treatment of 1,000 consecutive patients with facial vascular marks.

Background: Facial teleangectasias or vascular marks often represent a very cosmetically detracting problem for the affected patient, who tries to cover the lesions by camouflage strategies. This study describes the response of these vascular lesions after an intense pulsed light source was used on 1,000 consecutive patients.

Methods: Between October 1998 and April 2005, 1,000 consecutive patients with various skin types (Fitzpatrick I to IV) were treated with Photoderm VL.
