Download or read book Botulinum Toxin in Cosmetic Dermatology Skincare Practice written by Elena Hernandez-Jimenez and published by Cosmetics & Medicine Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2024-10-25 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Botulinum therapy occupies a special place in modern aesthetic medicine, not only as one of the most effective methods with more than 30 years of successful medical history but also as a tool that raises many questions. However, all known medical books on botulinum therapy primarily consider practical aspects — determination of injection points, dosage, etc. While this is certainly valuable information for botulinum therapy practitioners, everyone else is more concerned with other issues — whether botulinum toxin is safe, how it works, what effects can be expected from its use, and how to maximize its duration. These and other essential questions are addressed in our book — no one has ever dealt with botulinum toxin and its possibilities in such detail! We will identify the critical points related to botulinum toxin and its use in clinical practice. After discussing the nature of the active ingredient — botulinum toxin — we will move on to a brief review of commercial preparations, followed by the main factors affecting the treatment efficacy and safety, backed up by references to authoritative scientific studies. We will outline and justify the main directions of applying botulinum toxin for aesthetic and dermatological indications. We will also discuss the specifics of combining botulinum therapy with other injectable and device-based methods within the framework of complex aesthetic programs to prevent and correct age-related skin changes. This book is part of the Cosmetic Dermatology & Skincare Practice book series, covering the most relevant topics in modern dermatology and aesthetic medicine. All books are structured, written in accessible language, and answer critical questions about the problem or technology at hand. The information in this book will be useful to aestheticians, dermatologists, physiotherapists, neurologists, ophthalmologists, and plastic surgeons — both practicing and those just beginning to master botulinum therapy — as well as medical students and all interested parties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dermal fillers are substances injected into the face to fill lines and add volume to areas such as the lips and cheeks. They are not permanent and usually last between six and eighteen months. Similarly, Botulinum toxin (Botox) injections relax the facial muscles to smooth out line and wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Botox is not permanent and usually lasts for three to four months. This book is a comprehensive guide to the clinical use of fillers and Botox. Beginning with an overview of the history and basic science of cosmetic injectables, the book is then divided into two key sections. Section one examines fillers, discussing facial anatomy, patient selection, anaesthesia, and injection techniques for different areas of the face. Treatment plans, patient consent, and before and after instructions, are also discussed. The second section covers Botox and its use for treating different types of facial lines, and includes chapters on complications and their management, and Botox in men. The extensive text is enhanced by nearly 300 clinical photographs, illustrations and tables.

Download or read book Rosacea and Couperosis in Cosmetic Dermatology Skincare Practice written by Elena Hernandez-Jimenez and published by Cosmetics & Medicine Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2024-06-26 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosacea on average affects 5% of all people on Earth, and couperosis — a problem for a considerable number of fair-skinned people that catches up with them, if not in their youth, then as they age — is one of the symptoms of photoaging. Therefore, any specialist working with skin cannot avoid "encountering" these conditions. However, even though rosacea was regarded exclusively as a dermatological problem for a long time, and couperosis was deemed virtually impossible to cope with, modern research and developments in the field of dermatology give specialists a variety of working tools to correct these unpleasant aesthetic defects. The specialty of our book is that we look at cosmetic approaches that can help patients with rosacea and couperosis. We not only vouch that these approaches work but know from experience that cosmetic care can slow down the progression of these diseases. Thus, it not only saves patients from aggressive dermatologic treatment but also significantly improves their quality of life. This publication will detail the current understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of rosacea. We consider these facts important to know because recent research has dramatically changed the primary image of the disease and the treatment approaches. We now understand that what used to be considered a cure by dermatologists may sometimes worsen the skin condition of rosacea patients. We will thus examine in detail how to build a primary therapy based on these modern findings, what methods and products can be used, and what should be excluded from therapy and care programs offered to patients with rosacea. The same applies to couperosis, as we will once again explain this condition and how it differs from rosacea, allowing specialists to apply the most effective therapy, particularly laser treatment. How do these methods work? How to prepare and protect the skin? Whether there is an effect from topical and injectable methods (and what kind of effect)? All these questions are discussed in detail in the relevant sections. This book is a must-read for all specialists in aesthetic medicine, students pursuing degrees in dermatological specialties, and even patients who want to effectively resolve the problems of rosacea and couperosis.

Download or read book Lasers in Cosmetic Dermatology Skincare Practice written by Elena Hernandez-Jimenez and published by Cosmetics & Medicine Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2024-09-14 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about lasers, but only a few books cover laser cosmetic dermatology from beginning to end. We decided to address this gap and collected all the information that would be useful for specialists in this book. It focuses on modern laser and photodynamic technologies and deals in detail with various issues concerning high-energy and low-intensity devices. The book consists of three parts. In the first part, we explain the nature of laser radiation and provide a general understanding of how a laser device is constructed. A separate chapter is devoted to the interaction of laser radiation with the skin — the targets and mechanisms of laser action and the essence of photothermolysis. This part also considers the features of intense pulse light (IPL) treatment, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and photodynamic therapy (PDT). The second part is devoted to practical issues — the specific capabilities of light-based and photodynamic technologies. The entire spectrum of dermatological and aesthetic problems in which lasers and IPL devices yield significant results are considered. These are laser rejuvenation, removal of benign growths, treatment of vascular and pigmentation disorders, scars, acne, psoriasis, and onychomycosis, as well as tattoo, unwanted hair (epilation), and fat deposit removal. In this part, we also discuss the current perspectives on the combination of laser treatment and injectable procedures, and the possibilities of using lasers for the transdermal delivery of active ingredients. A separate chapter on complications associated with laser procedures and ways to reduce their risks concludes the second part. The third part touches on some key organizational aspects, such as requirements for safe operation and the choice of laser devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of injectables, known as dermal fillers, is becoming ever more popular in aesthetic medicine.

In addition, dermal fillers can be successfully used for body remodeling, for example in patients with bow legs and those requiring breast remodeling.This book outlines the fundamental principles of the use of different fillers and injection techniques in the treatment of facial and body areas. An impressive collection of sequential color photographs illustrate the procedures step by step and demonstrate the results.

Download or read book Comprehensive Cosmetic Skincare in Cosmetic Dermatology Skincare Practice written by Elena Hernandez-Jimenez and published by Cosmetics & Medicine Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2024-06-26 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive skincare with the help of cosmetic products is the key to maintaining health and youthfulness. Even the most unproblematic skin needs care with properly selected cosmetic products that preserve the skin's own resources and help resist external influences that accelerate aging. Moreover, any popular injection or physical treatment can give maximum effect only if the patient consistently follows a professional and home-based skincare regimen. This is the responsibility of the skincare practitioner, who must be able to not only perform the cosmetic procedure but also help select and explain to the patient the importance of using suitable products for their skin type. This book is dedicated to a detailed review and justification of the importance of all stages of cosmetic care for different skin types — preparation with cleansers and exfoliants, intensive action aimed both at stimulating metabolic processes in the skin and solving various aesthetic problems (e.g., rejuvenation, whitening), and completion of procedures with active cosmetic agents, thereby consolidating the results and increasing the renewed skin's protective potential. We explain in detail how classic and modern products work and why they can be used in some cases and are undesirable in others. We further discuss the most common questions that arise from skincare practitioners and their patients. In addition, separate sections of the book are devoted to skincare for the eyelids, lips, and hands. The book is useful to all professionals working with skin — long-time specialists and novice skincare practitioners, dermatologists, and consultants in selling skincare products, as well as students. In addition, it is of interest to all people who want to have healthy and youthful skin — the publication will expand their understanding of what a beautician does, and why it is so important to provide the necessary care for the skin, and, of course, what exactly it should be.

It relies on the accuracy of a microscope to trace and ensure removal of skin cancer down to its roots. This procedure allows dermatologists trained in Mohs Surgery to see beyond the visible disease and to precisely identify and remove the entire tumor, leaving healthy tissue unharmed. This procedure is most often used in treating two of the most common forms of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The cure rate for Mohs Micrographic Surgery is the highest of all treatments for skin cancer--up to 99 percent even if other forms of treatment have failed.
