anti aging/atrophy

The growing presence on the North American as well as European market of food products enriched with fish oil as a source of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) omega-3 in the diet requires evaluation and comment. Research exploring health influence of the consumption of fish oil started in 1990

Skin aging is a complex biological process.The physiological changes associated with aging of the skin are manifested in xerosis, dramatic loss of skin elasticity due to damage to collagen and elastin fibers; as well as barrier function, modification of rhytides and deficiencies in the regenerative

Skin aging is a complex biological process that can be categorized into either extrinsic or intrinsic aging. Intrinsic aging is an inherent degenerative process caused by decreased proliferative capacity leading to cellular senescence. Extrinsic aging is caused by factors such as UV radiations,

Vocal fold atrophy and resulting dysphonia (also known as presbyphonia) is a condition affecting millions of aging Americans, up to 35% of those 65 or older. Currently used treatment methods include voice therapy, injections of inert fillers, and laryngeal framework surgery. These modalities are

Recently, there has been interest in treatments which are orientated to more biologically regenerative therapies, with several studies demonstrating successful use for PRP in skin rejuvenation. Although PRP is widely used in clinical dermatology, experimental studies confirming the effects of PRP on

Bruxism is different from temporomandibular joint disease because of long periods of muscle contraction. It is considered an eloquent contributory factor in the etiology of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The incidence of bruxism is estimated to be approximately between 5% and 10% of the adult

The Profound System is a bipolar fractional radiofrequency device which uses microneedles and thermal heat to stimulate neocollagenesis. Based on the its effect on facial skin, it can be hypothesized that bipolar fractional radiofrequency will stimulate similar effect on suprapatellar skin, lifting

Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is characterized by symptoms such as vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, irritation, urinary incontinence, overactive bladder , and urinary tract infections. GSM replaces the previous term vulvovaginal atrophy as agreed upon by a joint terminology conference

Anti-aging medicine is a burgeoning field. Accumulating evidence implicates the cellular process of autophagy as a primary mechanism of normal aging and the diseases associated with it. Autophagy is a process of "cellular recycling" and is known to affect a spectrum of health and disease states

This is a single center, prospective, randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind, split-face trial using micro-injections of Restylane® Silk for correction of mid to low cheek fine lines and wrinkles. Twenty (20) subjects will be enrolled. Each subject will receive Restylane® Silk to a defined area

Vulvar lichen sclerosus (LS) is a well-characterized dermatosis resulting in labial atrophy, synechiae and introital narrowing and can often cause dyspareunia, itching and co-existent vulvar pain. Biopsy is necessary to confirm the clinical diagnosis and the mainstay of treatment usually consists of

Facial skin aging is a complex and multifactorial process combining extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Major extrinsic factors include sun exposure and smoking while intrinsic factors are believed to be genetically programmed. Changes in the dermis are responsible for many of the important clinical

Understanding the age-related changes in periorbital adipose tissue is crucial for improving current rejuvenation techniques, or developing new ones. However, no such study has been reported in the literature. Hundreds of people came to our hospital requesting upper blepharoplasty every year. Taking
