Introduction: Novel topical products formulated using tri- and hexapeptide technology (TriHex Technology ; Alastin Skincare , Inc) are used to clear the extracellular matrix, stimulate neocollagenesis and elastogenesis, decrease inflammation, and accelerate the epidermal healing process.

Aims: This study assessed the efficacy of two topical tri- and hexapeptide-containing products pre- and post-treatment with radiofrequency (RF) microneedling of the photoaged neck with respect to healing and aesthetic outcomes.

Subjects/methods: In this open-label, nonrandomized study, eligible subjects underwent one screening visit, one RF microneedling procedure and follow-up visits on post-treatment Days 3, 7, 30, and 90.

Introduction: Visible leg veins are a common cosmetic concern treated mostly by 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser that has become the chosen laser therapy for treating all leg veins up to 3 mm in size. The objective of the current prospective study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a new 1064 nm diode laser for leg veins and spider veins on the lower extremities.

Methods: A total of 15 female subjects seeking leg veins and spider veins treatment were recruited to this study.

Background: Skincare cosmeceutical products have been shown to address intrinsic and extrinsic skin aging. Radiofrequency (RF) with microneedling is effective and safe in improving skin laxity and texture. Pairing skincare cosmeceutical products pre- and post-procedure is beneficial as it enhances patient results, patient results, patient experience, and reduces patient downtime.

Background: The aging process is often associated with undesirable effects on facial skin such as skin redundancy, reduction of elasticity, and increased wrinkling. Radiofrequency (RF) and light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used, clinically proven technologies for skin rejuvenation.

Study Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and usage compliance of the home-use device, utilizing RF and LED energies, for self-treatment of periorbital wrinkles and improvement of skin appearance.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combination facial treatment by 3 technologies.

Materials And Methods: Eleven patients completed the clinical trial that consisted of alternate treatments of intense pulsed light (IPL) in 3 sessions and continuous + fractional bipolar radiofrequency (RF) in 3 alternating sessions, 3 weeks apart. Follow-up visits were made at 6 and 12 weeks following the last treatment.

Introduction: Public interest in noninvasive, aesthetic treatments for the rejuvenation of appearance continues to grow. The following prospective, open-label, nonrandomized trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of micro-focused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) for achieving lift and tightening of lax skin above the knee.

Materials And Methods: Healthy adult women (N = 30) with mild- to moderate bilateral skin laxity above the knees were enrolled.

Introduction: The Q-switched 1064-nm laser is associated with rapid vaporization and thermal expansion stresses leading to skin mechanical damage and is typically used for correction of exogenous and endogenous deep pigmentation. Giving the common place of fractional, infrared-domain milliseconds non-ablative lasers in aesthetic dermatology, a novel non-ablative fractional Q-switched 1,064-nm laser was studied for photoaged skin concerns.

Materials And Methods: Ten healthy female subjects (Age range: 35-53 years, mean: 44.
