Use of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation for Abdominal and Quadriceps Muscle Strengthening: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Radiographic imaging has demonstrated muscle hypertrophy after treatment with noninvasive body contouring devices that target skeletal muscles.

Objective: This pilot study sought to evaluate whether increased muscle mass translated to improved functional strength and endurance.

Methods: A prospective, single-center, randomized open-label controlled study included 26 subjects randomized into 3 groups: 2 treatment groups and 1 control group.

Safety of Laser-Assisted Delivery of Topical Poly-L-Lactic Acid in the Treatment of Upper Lip Rhytides: A Prospective, Rater-Blinded Study.

Background: Perioral rhytides are a common complaint among dermatologic patients and can be notoriously stubborn and resistant to therapy.

Objective: We aimed to assess the safety of fractional ablative laser-assisted delivery of topical poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) suspension in the treatment of upper cutaneous lip rhytides.

Materials And Methods: Prospective, single-arm, rater-blinded trial.
