Stop the Clock: Lift and Tighten Without the Knife

Excerpt

Forget the facelift. In the last five years, a flurry of new noninvasive cosmetic procedures have come along, promising to turn back the clock on aging skin without as much risk and recovery time as surgery.

From fillers to lasers, 83 percent of all cosmetic procedures performed in the offices of cosmetic plastic surgeons in 2010 were nonsurgical, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

Of course, not all of the wrinkle-busting, skin-tightening treatments out there are worth the time and money. And because most require refreshing every few months or years — or look better used in combination with each other — they can be as expensive as surgery in the long run.

Unlike surgical lifts that simply pull the skin or muscles tight, however, these no-scalpel treatments increase the collagen and elastin in the skin, making it feel younger. “Some of these devices are changing the quality of the skin,” says New York City dermatologist Neil Sadick.

Botulinum Toxin Used on Perioral ‘Bar Code’

Patients who don’t like the vertical lines that form above the lips when they pucker up may benefit from botulinum toxin injections.

“Many patients look at themselves in the morning and they’re not concerned about lip volume, but they’re concerned about these radiating lines that go around their mouth. We call this the ‘bar code,’ ” Dr. Joel L. Cohen said.

These patients may complain of radiating lines when the mouth is animated, of lipstick bleeding out from the lips, or of a hollowed look around the mouth. The injection of botulinum toxin into the orbicularis oris muscles can “soften” the columns that appear when the mouth moves, he said at the annual meeting of the American Society of Cosmetic Dermatology and Aesthetic Surgery in Las Vegas.

Botox Injections for Overactive Bladder

Botox treatments may be safe for OAB.

Botox is a promising new treatment for people with overactive bladder (OAB), or urge incontinence. But is it safe to rely on repeated injections?

A new study says the answer is yes. Botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox, has offered relief to patients with OAB symptoms where previous medications had failed. Read more

               

Comparing a Facelift to Nonsurgical Options

In recent years, facelifts have been declining in popularity. This is partly due to the dramatic increase in nonsurgical options for facial rejuvenation. But how do nonsurgical options really compare to a facelift?

HOUSTON, TX, December 31, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ — In recent years, facelifts have been declining in popularity. This is partly due to the dramatic increase in nonsurgical options for facial rejuvenation. But how do nonsurgical options really compare to a facelift?

 

Recovery

 

A short recovery time is one of the main advantages of nonsurgical treatments like BOTOX Cosmetic and injectable fillers. These procedures can be performed on your lunch hour, taking only twenty or thirty minutes, and you can return to work–especially nonstrenuous work–immediately after. No downtime, and little discomfort other than some soreness at the injection site. You may have to explain away some swelling and redness, but if you’re prepared for that you don’t need to take any time off for recovery.

 

A surgical facelift, on the other hand, requires at least a week away from work and other activities for recovery. There will be significant discomfort, bruising, and swelling. There will likely still be some swelling and bruising when you can return to your normal activities, but you will be cleared for using concealing makeup. Read more

               

Happy New Year: The Busiest Season for Cosmetic Surgery

Beauty takes no holiday.

December, particularly the latter half, is the busiest time of the year for many plastic surgeons, cosmetic dermatologists and doctors who perform weight-loss operations like gastric bypass. Some doctors say they do twice as many of these elective procedures per day in this period as during the rest of the year.

The reason: After many cosmetic procedures patients want to go underground during the days-long recovery period, which might involve swelling, bruising and oozing. The holiday season makes it easier to avoid interacting with others at work or in school car pools. This year, with Christmas and New Year’s both falling on weekends, a patient can be under the knife or laser beams early in the week and still be presentable by the time the parties start.

In 2012, the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums with Botox ® Training Stand Alone

The IAPAM leads its competitors in offering the most complete botox ® training and aesthetic medicine education in North America. In 2012, attendees at the IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums will have the competitive advantage of learning from board-certified dermatologists and experts in the fields of botox ® training, lasers & IPLs, dermal fillers, hCG for weight loss, medical grade chemical peels and medical micordermabrasion. Beyond the hands-on botox ® training and aesthetic medicine instruction, the resources physicians receive from the IAPAM position it as the most respected physician training association in North America.

  

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (IAPAM) Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with botox ® training is different than any other physician training program offered in North America.  The IAPAM (http://www.iapam.com) offers comprehensive aesthetic medicine education and long term support for physicians of all medical specialties. The IAPAM is where the world’s physicians come together to learn and share their experiences in aesthetic medicine. The IAPAM offers a suite of aesthetic medicine training programs from botox ® training (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) to hCG training (http://www.hcgtraining.com), along with aesthetic practice business training.  Unlike programs offered by a private company, the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is certified by the IAPAM, a voluntary professional association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession.  Read more

               

IAPAM Announces the 2012 Dates for Symposiums with Botox ®Training and hCG Training

Patient demand for Botox ® and other minimally invasive cosmetic procedures is at an all time high. The IAPAM is helping physicians enter this lucrative market by offering their dermatologist-led, 2-day Aesthetic Medicine Symposium with Botox ® Training. Physicians learn everything they need to start offering Botox ® and other in-demand aesthetic medicine procedures.  Today, the IAPAM announced its 2012 dates for its respected Aesthetic Medicine Symposiums and hCG Physician Training seminars.
 
Two recent surveys, published in the article “Impact of the Current Economy on Facial Aesthetic Surgery,” appearing in the September 2011 issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, reveal that “many patients are delaying facial plastic surgery and instead seeking out less-costly nonsurgical options due to the impact of the current recession.   “That the current economy is affecting patients’ choices around facial rejuvenation is not so surprising, since previous surveys from ASAPS have shown a decrease in aesthetic surgical procedures and a slight uptick in nonsurgical procedures over recent years,”  said T. Jonathan Kurkjian MD, of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, who served as lead author of the study.
 
Physicians considering the launch of a medspa are making a wise business decision, as they capitalize on this “uptick” in non-surgical procedure demand. To assist physicians in entering this lucrative market, The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s (http://www.iapam.com)  Aesthetic Medicine Symposium (http://www.aestheticmedicinesymposium.com) is designed by physicians for physicians to support the addition of aesthetic medicine modalities, including botox ®, to an existing practice, or launching a medical spa.  This 2 day educational event showcases the most important clinical and business aesthetic medicine training.  Physicians who complete the IAPAM’s Symposium have a competitive advantage.

Treatment Options for Hemifacial Spasms

15 in every 100,000 women have hemifacial spasms, a condition in which the patient has frequent and involuntary contractions of the facial muscles, according to the University of Maryland Medical School. With a hemifacial spasm, the muscle contractions occur on only one side of the face.Both women and men can have this neuromuscular condition, though women have it more often. Patients begin having symptoms of this disorder in their 40s.

To diagnose hemifacial spasms, a physician will conduct a neurological exam. Different scans may be ordered to rule out conditions that can cause these symptoms……

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke noted that the most effective treatment for hemifacial spasms is botulinum toxin injections. Read more

               

Are Botox Injections On Their Way Out?

A novel topical gel formulation of botulinum toxin type A is now in the developmental pipeline, and it may expand the range of cosmetic problems that can be tackled with the botulinum toxins. The topical gel, called RT001, is being developed by Revance Pharmaceuticals. It combines botulinum toxin type A with a proprietary carrier peptide that can transport the neurotoxin across the skin all the way down to the musculature. Even without an injection, patients can experience results that are similar to what we see with Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) or Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA). It is currently being studied for the treatment of crow’s feet. The gel is in clinical trials (Phase II) and not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Read more
