Summary
Facial fillers and volumizers offer options for rejuvenation. Longer-lasting options provide durable facial volume restoration and youthful contours for non-surgical facial augmentation.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Cosmetic Surgery
Background:
- Facial augmentation and rejuvenation are common aesthetic goals.
- Physicians now focus on global facial restoration beyond single lines.
- Patient demand for non-surgical rejuvenation is increasing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review different categories of facial fillers and volumizers.
- To discuss their duration of action and ability to create natural effects.
- To compare temporary, long-lasting biodegradable, and permanent nonbiodegradable agents.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of facial fillers and volumizers.
- Classification based on duration and aesthetic outcome.
- Analysis of suitability for different facial rejuvenation needs.
Main Results:
- Fillers are classified as temporary, long-lasting biodegradable, or permanent nonbiodegradable.
- Temporary fillers address lines/wrinkles but may lack long-term cost-efficiency for global volume.
- Permanent fillers raise safety concerns and may not adapt to aging changes.
- Longer-lasting volumizers offer durable restoration of facial volume and contours.
Conclusions:
- Longer-lasting volumizers provide effective, durable facial rejuvenation.
- Combination therapies with temporary and longer-lasting options offer versatile solutions.
- Careful selection of fillers is crucial for safe and effective facial augmentation.

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.

01:19Restorative Care
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...
01:19Veneer
Veneer refers to a thin sheet of wood, typically produced to a thickness of about one-eighth of an inch or less. This material is crafted through various methods, the most common being rotary cutting. In this process, a log is mounted into a large lathe and spun against a knife edge, peeling off a continuous strip of wood as the knife penetrates deeper into the rotating log, creating a rotary-cut veneer.
Other veneering techniques include plain-slicing, quarter-slicing, and rift-slicing. These...

01:18Porosity in Cement Paste
The porosity of concrete is a measure of the void spaces within its structure. These spaces impact its strength and durability significantly. When water and cement interact, a chemical reaction called hydration creates a semi-solid paste. This paste includes combined water, making up approximately 23% of the cement's dry mass, and gel water, which fills minuscule voids known as gel pores, accounting for about 28% of the cement gel volume.

01:26Unsoundness of Aggregate due to Volume Change
Unsoundness in aggregates due to volume changes is primarily caused by the physical alterations aggregates undergo, such as freezing and thawing, thermal changes, and wetting and drying. Unsound aggregates, when subjected to these changes, result in volume change upon disintegration. This, in turn, contributes to the deterioration of concrete, including scaling, pop-outs, and cracking. Particular types of aggregates, such as porous flints, cherts, and those containing clay minerals, are...
