Perfectha® FineLines Laboratoire ObvieLine
Description Perfectha® FineLines is a hyaluronic acid-based wrinkle filler, with a syringe of 0.5ml E-Brid™ Technology, a unique cross-linking process which makes it possible to create covalent bonds within and between hyaluronic acid particles, has been developed to create a hybrid gel with the capacity to respond to the characteristics of an
effective hyaluronic acid-based implant. A long-lasting treatment, low volume providing high filling capacity, the product is easy to inject and hydrates the skin.
Indications Perfectha® Complement is injected in the superficial dermis by a certified physician. Perfectha® FineLines is recommended for fine lines and
in terms of treating lines and wrinkles,
particularly those associated with photoageing. A new layer of skin heals with deposition of a layer of collagen, which also tightens leading to an improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles (Figure 1). This treatment requires a period
of healing of at least 1–2 weeks but does lead to a definitive improvement in lines and wrinkles. However, it must be undertaken by an appropriately
trained
physician, usually a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, as the risk of scarring and altered pigmentation can occur.

Fractional resurfacing In order to try and reduce the downtime associated with laser resurfacing, lasers were developed to provide what is described as fractional resurfacing. This tended to lead to the removal of tissue at evenly placed intervals with undamaged skin between these areas. This led to a faster healing time. However, it requires a
NeoGen™ Plasma Skin
Regeneration System Energist Medical Group
Description NeoGen is a unique technology using nitrogen gas converted to plasma energy. During NeoGen treatments the photo-damaged layers undergo controlled thermal modification, whilst remaining intact, creating a natural dressing to provide protection and speed healing. At high energies the epidermis sheds, but only after a new, healthier skin architecture is formed beneath. NeoGen uniquely enables the practitioner to control the depth of the line of cleavage that forms between the shedding layer and newly formed epidermis, giving them a full spectrum of treatment possibilities from subtle to results comparable with full CO2
ablation (though with far shorter downtime).
Indications Fine lines and wrinkles, plasma skin regeneration and tightening Contact

Acne and acne scars
Non-ablative resurfacing Other lasers are being developed to try and stimulate collagen synthesis without causing damage to the superficial skin. There have been some studies2 suggesting an improvement in fine lines and this again requires a number of treatments. The use of radiofrequency for skin tightening is becoming more popular.
Cosmetic surgery
This involves repositioning facial tissue and altering the structure of
sagging tissue. For example, a facelift or mid-face lift removes excessive skin and tightens underylying muscles of the lower two thirds of the face (cheek and neck). Blepharoplasty can also be used and works by removing redundant skin and fat pads of the eyelids. In summary, there are a wide array of
methods to remove fine lines and wrinkles. Ablative laser resurfacing with the likes of the Er:YAG laser is still considered the gold
eTwo Syneron
Description eTwo combines the unique Sublime and Sublative applications for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. The Sublime™ applicator is a non-invasive wrinkle treatment that uses the elōs combination of safe and effective levels of infrared light and bi-polar radiofrequency energies to remodel the deep dermal layer of the skin by stimulating new collagen growth. The unique Sublative ergonomic applicator delivers bi-polar radio frequency energy via the matrix of electrodes placing heat energy effectively into the upper dermis where it can produce a significant increase in both collagen and elastin with minimal epidermal disruption.
Indications Both fine and deep wrinkle treatments, improved texture, tone, laxity, acne scars, scars and straie
