Oxytocin Levels Inversely Correlate With Skin Age Score and Solar Damage.

Background: Studies have shown oxytocin (OT) and its carrier protein neurophysin 1 are found in the epidermis. The oxytocin receptor, which is found on human fibroblasts has been shown, when activated by oxytocin, to inhibit senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). SASP activation induces the release of proinflammatory cytokines which contribute to skin aging.

A Clinical Evaluation of a Next Generation, Non-Invasive, Selective Radiofrequency, Hands-Free, Body-Shaping Device.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of a noninvasive selective radiofrequency (RF) eld device (BTL Vanquish METM, BTL Industries Inc., Boston MA) with its predecessor (VanquishTM, BTL Industries Inc., Boston MA).
