Enhancement of Facial Rejuvenation Through a Combination of 1565 nm Non-Ablative Fractional Laser with 30% Supramolecular Salicylic Acid
Published on: September 27, 2024
Summary
This study presents a multistage hand rejuvenation protocol targeting both skin and subcutaneous tissues. The innovative approach combines topical treatments, intense pulsed light, and autologous fat grafting for comprehensive anti-aging effects.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology and Plastic Surgery
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Regenerative Medicine
Background:
- Hand aging manifests as skin thinning, volume loss, and textural changes.
- Previous rejuvenation methods often address only superficial skin layers.
- A comprehensive approach is needed to address both skin and deeper tissue aging.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a multistage protocol for hand rejuvenation.
- To evaluate the combined efficacy of topical therapies, intense pulsed light, and autologous fat grafting.
- To achieve significant skin thickening, volume restoration, and textural improvement in aging hands.
Main Methods:
- Application of topical therapies and intense pulsed light (IPL) for skin enhancement.
- Injection of autologous fat into multiple tissue layers for volume restoration.
- Surgical excision of excess skin via a concealed ulnar incision.
Main Results:
- The protocol effectively thickens the skin and improves texture.
- Age spots and leathery skin are visibly reduced.
- Subcutaneous tissue is augmented, addressing volume deficits and creating a more youthful appearance.
Conclusions:
- This multistage hand rejuvenation protocol offers a comprehensive solution for aging hands.
- Combining topical treatments, IPL, and fat grafting provides synergistic anti-aging benefits.
- The procedure effectively rejuvenates both skin and subcutaneous tissues for improved aesthetics.

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.

01:12Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular cells,...
01:33Whole Body Regeneration
Regeneration is the process of restoring injured or lost tissues, organs, or body parts. While simpler organisms generally show greater ability to regenerate their whole body, few complex animals show similarly exceptional regeneration. For example, planarian flatworms have a unique regenerative potential making them a popular study organism among biologists to understand the mechanisms of whole body regeneration. Other organisms, such as hydra, also show extreme regeneration potential; even...
01:19The Effect of Aging on Tissues
Several body functions deteriorate with age. The external signs of aging are easily identifiable. For example, the skin becomes dry, less elastic, and thins out, forming wrinkles. The skin of the face begins to appear looser due to a decrease in the levels of elastic and collagen fibers in the connective tissue. Additionally, melanin production in the hair follicle decreases with age, resulting in gray hair. Moreover, the senses of sight and hearing decline, so glasses and hearing aids may...
01:24Liver Regeneration
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are large...

01:19Overview of Regeneration and Repair
Regeneration and repair processes are critical in healing damages caused by injury, disease, and aging. In regeneration, the damaged tissue is entirely replaced with new growth that restores the original architecture and function. In contrast, tissue repair usually results in a fixed tissue architecture involving scar formation. Scars generally do not reestablish tissue function and may also exhibit structural abnormalities at the injury site.
