Filling and volumizing injection procedures are currently widely used for facial augmentation and re-establishing a youthful appearance. Aesthetic physicians have advanced from the practice of treating single lines and wrinkles towards filling large facial areas to globally restore natural facial contours and meet patient demand for nonsurgical rejuvenation. This review describes the different categories of fillers and volumizers based on their duration of action and ability to create a natural looking effect; they can be broadly classified as temporary or long-lasting biodegradable agents, or permanent nonbiodegradable agents. Temporary fillers are effective to correct lines and wrinkles, but may not adequately meet the need for global facial rejuvenation and volume replacement in a long-term, cost-efficient manner. Permanent fillers for global restoration pose the issue of long-term safety, and may not be compatible with changes in facial architecture with continued aging. Longer lasting volumizers provide patients with a durable, effective option for the restoration of facial volume and the re-establishment of youthful facial contours. Temporary fillers and volumizers may also be used in combination to provide a wide source of options for the global restoration and rejuvenation of the face.

Upregulation of Receptor Interacting Protein 1 Induced by UVB Contributes to Photodamage of the Skin Through NF-κB Pathway In Vivo and In Vitro.

Background: Ultraviolet (UV) B can reach the epidermis and superficial dermis of the skin, inducing sunburn, inflammation, immunosuppression, cancer, and so on. Our former research found that receptor interacting protein (RIP) 1 could be upregulated in human dermal fibroblasts(HDFs) after UVB irradiation by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry techniques. Besides, our further research found that RIP1 was involved in the UVB-induced production of ROS and MMPs in HDFs.

Skin is the human body's largest organ, protecting it from various environmental threats. At the same time, it is the most accessible organ of the body, which ensures the reception of stimuli and contact with the environment. Such common signs of skin aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and discoloration, result from both extrinsic and intrinsic factors that act for a long time.

Facial wrinkles include static and dynamic lines formed through different mechanisms and require diverse treatment approaches. Peptides perform well in anti-aging and wrinkle removal but exhibit poor transdermal efficiency. In this work, a novel neuro-soothing ionic liquid, GALA, prepared from γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and lactic acid (LA), is applied in the transdermal delivery of hexapeptide-9, which promotes collagen production.

Peripheral tissues such as skin and adipose tissue play a crucial role in the intracrine formation of sex steroid hormones, complementing the endocrine and paracrine systems. These mechanisms involve the conversion of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and its sulfated form-DHEAS-into potent androgenic and estrogenic hormones. In vitro studies using tissue-specific cell lines are essential for unraveling the complex intracrine synthesis of these hormones.
