Two monozygotic twins (Fitzpatrick skin type II 56-year-old women) with significant photoaging and mild to moderate global fine lines based on the modified Griffiths 10-point scale were enrolled in the study. The past medical etymology and laboratory evaluation were unremarkable. Each subject followed a standardized skin care regimen with topical platelet renewosomes (human platelet extract [HPE]) daily for a 12-week duration.

Facial aging is determined by skin quality and the condition of underlying muscles, which contribute to the overall appearance by lifting heavy facial structures. This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of the novel radiofrequency (RF) and high-intensity facial muscle stimulation (HIFES) technology for treating wrinkles by facial tissue remodeling. This trial assessed the 3-month data of 24 subjects seeking facial wrinkles treatment.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness and safety of synchronized high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) + radiofrequency (RF) for the treatment of lateral thigh adipose tissue.
Materials And Methods: Ninety-three subjects (21-70 year old) received 4, 30-minute HIFEM + RF treatments of the lateral thighs.
Background: Exosomes are regenerative mediators for skin rejuvenation. Human platelet extract (HPE) is an allogeneic exosome product derived from US-sourced, leukocyte-reduced apheresed platelets with consistent purity and potency.
Objectives: The authors sought to better characterize the safety and tolerability of novel HPE (plated) Intensive Repair Serum (Rion Aesthetics, Rochester, MN) and its maximal effects on skin rejuvenation at 6 weeks.
Background: Myosatellite cells are myogenic stem cells that can transform to provide nuclei for existing muscles or generate new muscle fibers as documented after extended exercise programs.
Objectives: The authors investigated whether the simultaneous application of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) and Synchrode radiofrequency (RF) affects the levels of satellite cells similarly as the prolonged exercise does to achieve muscle growth.
Methods: Three 30-minute simultaneous HIFEM and Synchrode RF treatments (once a week) were administered over the abdominal area of 5 Large White swine aged approximately 6 months.
Exosome therapy is a promising new approach for the treatment of hair loss. Current treatments for androgenetic alopecia, the most common form of hair loss, fall short of providing satisfactory efficacy with minimal side effects; thus, the fact that exosome therapy delivers impressive hair growth with no reported adverse events makes this therapy an attractive avenue to be explored; nevertheless, due to the novelty of this treatment, clinical trials to confirm its efficacy and safety are lacking. The current state of knowledge that is publicly available on the efficacy of exosome therapy for treatment of hair loss is reviewed, and the potential of exosomes as an alternate therapy for hair restoration is discussed.

Objectives: This study aims to verify or refute previous single-study histological evidence and further investigates the proposed mechanism of apoptotic induction.
Methods: The thigh of two Large White pigs was treated with HIFEM for 30 minutes.
Medium depth chemical peels offer an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation. The improvement in rhytids, dyschromias, and photodamage with relatively little downtime confirms its importance in the facial plastic armamentarium.
