Management and Prevention of Neuromodulator Complications.

The use of neuromodulators for cosmetic purposes has a remarkable safety record; nevertheless, unwanted effects can and do sometimes occur when neurotoxins are used for facial rejuvenation, such as neutralizing antibodies and eyelid ptosis. The primary objective of the following roundtable discussion was to review the most commonly reported complications from neurotoxins and summarize considerations for reducing the risk of complications. A roundtable discussion was held by 5 notable experts in their field during a special addition of the Thriving in Diversity webinar series on Thursday, February 15, 2024.

A Systematic Review on the Effectiveness and Safety of Combining Biostimulators with Botulinum Toxin, Dermal Fillers, and Energy-Based Devices.

Introduction: Aesthetic medicine has evolved towards minimally invasive procedures, with biostimulators like Poly-L-Lactic Acid (PLLA), Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), and Polycaprolactone (PCL) gaining attention for their role in collagen induction, improving skin texture, elasticity, and volume. Combining these agents with other treatments-such as botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, and energy-based devices (e.g.

A Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Comparator Controlled Trial Evaluating Topical Formulations for Skin Fragility of the Arms.

Background: Skin atrophy and fragility associated with Dermatoporosis result from chronic extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation. A current marketed product, ReFORM & RePAIR COMPLEX with TriHex Technology® (R&R, Alastin Skincare, Inc.), contains actives that aid in recycling the ECM with new matrix components that have been found to be deficient in patients with DP.

Science or Spectacle? A Critical Evaluation of the decade of Aesthetic Medicine Conferences using Punctuated Equilibrium Framework.

Introduction: The global aesthetic medicine industry is rapidly expanding, with conferences serving as crucial platforms for knowledge exchange and collaboration. However, concerns have emerged about the increasing prioritisation of commercial content over scientifically rigorous presentations. This study critically evaluates the balance between commercial and scientific content at aesthetic medicine conferences, utilising artificial intelligence (AI) tools to analyse the impact of industry sponsorship and live procedural demonstrations on educational value.
