Summary
A combined therapy using microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V), neuromodulator, and filler injections effectively rejuvenates the neck. This multimodal approach showed significant clinical improvement in Asian patients, particularly those with more pronounced signs of aging.
Area of Science:
- Aesthetic medicine
- Dermatology
- Cosmetic surgery
Background:
- Neck aging results from multiple contributing factors.
- A multimodal approach is crucial for effective neck rejuvenation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of a combined therapy for neck rejuvenation.
- The study assessed microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V), neuromodulator injections, and filler injections.
Main Methods:
- Ten patients received sequential treatments in a single session.
- Treatments included MFU-V or calcium hydroxyapatite for skin laxity, hyaluronic acid filler for horizontal lines, and neuromodulator for platysmal bands.
Main Results:
- All ten patients demonstrated clinical improvement in neck aging post-treatment.
- Greater improvement was observed in patients with more significant baseline neck aging.
Conclusions:
- Multimodal neck rejuvenation is effective in Asian populations.
- Combined therapies offer a comprehensive solution for age-related neck concerns.

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
2.2K
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
3.1K
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...

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;...

01:19The Effect of Aging on Tissues
3.9K
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...

01:19Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells
3.3K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

01:21Stem Cell Therapy for Tissue Regeneration
4.7K
Stem cell therapy is a method used in regenerative medicine to repair and restore function to damaged tissues and organs. Stem cells have the potential to proliferate and differentiate into various tissue types, making them ideal candidates for tissue regeneration. For example, hematopoietic stem cell transplants are commonly used in blood cancer treatment to replenish damaged bone marrow and restore healthy blood cells.
