Combination Facial Aesthetic Treatment in Millennials
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology : JDD
|January 10, 2022
Summary
Millennials seeking cosmetic treatments reported higher satisfaction with their facial appearance after combining botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. This multimodal approach also improved psychosocial functioning and reduced perceived age.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Aesthetic Medicine
- Cosmetic Procedures
Background:
- Growing demand for minimally invasive cosmetic procedures among millennials.
- Botulinum toxin and dermal fillers are popular aesthetic treatments.
Purpose of the Study:
- Evaluate patient satisfaction and psychosocial impact of multimodal aesthetic treatment in millennials.
- Assess changes in facial appearance, self-perceived age, and social functioning.
Main Methods:
- Single-center, prospective, rater-blinded pilot study.
- 20 millennial participants received combination facial aesthetic treatment (botulinum toxin and dermal fillers).
- Assessments at baseline and 2 months post-treatment.
Main Results:
- Significant increase in overall facial appearance satisfaction post-treatment (P<0.001).
- Reported improvements in lips, cheeks, facial lines, self-perceived age, and psychosocial functioning.
- Positive outcomes in satisfaction with various facial areas.
Conclusions:
- Combination botulinum toxin and dermal filler treatment is safe and effective for millennials.
- Improves overall facial appearance satisfaction and specific facial areas.
- Decreases self-perceived age and enhances psychosocial functioning.

Confocal microscopy is an advanced microscopic technique. The prime advantage of the confocal microscope over other microscopy techniques is its ability to block the out-of-focus light from the illuminated samples using pinholes. It is widely used with fluorescence optics to obtain high-resolution, sharp contrast images. Unlike optical microscopes, confocal microscopes use a focused beam of light laser to scan the entire sample surface at different z-planes. These microscopes are, therefore,...

01:24Facial Feedback Hypothesis

Charles Darwin proposed that facial expressions are an evolutionary adaptation for communication. He argued that these expressions are not influenced by culture but are universal across species. For example, a snarling expression with exposed teeth signals a threat in many animals, including humans. Darwin also suggested that displaying an emotion can intensify the feeling. Smiling, for example, could enhance one's sense of happiness. This idea laid the foundation for understanding the role...

01:14Muscles for Facial Expressions
3.0K
The craniofacial muscles are a collection of approximately 20 thin skeletal muscles situated beneath the skin of the face and scalp. These muscles, primarily responsible for the vast array of human facial expressions, originate from the bones or fibrous structures of the skull and extend outwards to connect with the skin. While most skeletal muscles in the body are enveloped in thick fascia, facial muscles generally have a more delicate fascial covering, with the buccinator muscle being a...

01:12Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells
2.7K
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...

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
1.8K
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.

The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
