Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of a Novel Radiofrequency Device for Vaginal Treatment
on Jun 03 2018
Vaginal laxity and atrophy are caused mainly by aging and vaginal childbirth, which lead to a loss of strength and flexibility within the vaginal wall. As a result, women may experience vaginal, pelvic, sexual and urinary symptoms that significantly affect their quality of life. the aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel radiofrequency (RF) device for internal and external vaginal treatment.

Nonsurgical Vaginal Rejuvenation
on Jan 01 2018
- In the past 5 to 10 years, a surge of interest in female intimate wellness, specifically vaginal rejuvenation, both surgical and nonsurgical, has been witnessed.
- For both cosmetic and functional reasons, increasing numbers of women have sought alternatives to traditional therapies for dealing with the common but unwelcome changes that occur to the vaginal and vulvar tissues induced by maternity, weight fluctuation, hormonal change (sometimes following cancer care), natural aging, and menopause.
- Traditional nonsurgical options of improving vaginal well-being for the premenopausal as well as postmenopausal woman have proven to have limited long-term benefit, and therefore, patient compliance with these methods can be poor.

While the field of noninvasive body contouring is booming, many patients still note a lesser result than they might achieve with a single session of liposuction or dermolipectomy. The duration of a noninvasive fat reduction treatment series can be daunting. Patients have questioned the worth of these procedures when the expected benefit is modest and the time they devote to the project is significant. An eight-patient mini-study was performed to see if two or three "megasessions" could be substituted for eight weekly sessions of bipolar radiofrequency based fat reduction treatments.

Bipolar radiofrequency (RF) is capable of heating dermal collagen fibers and inducing skin tightening by collagen remodeling. Objective: To substantiate safety and improvement of skin laxity following skin heating with a novel temperature- and impedance-controlled non-invasive radiofrequency (RF) device by histological and biochemical evaluations

Clinical Evaluation of Hair Removal Using an 810 nm Diode Laser With a Novel Scanning Device
on Nov 03 2016
Diode lasers are often considered as the gold standard preference for hair removal due to the deep penetration and effective targeting of the hair follicle. A wide variety of diode lasers are available, which can differ in terms of their parameters (such as fluence, pulse duration, repetition rate, scanner, and cooling).

PEAK POWER EFFECT ON SKIN REJUVENATION USING IPL: LUMECCA IPL EVALUATION
on May 18 2016
Intense pulsed light (IPL) technology has become a common tool in medical aesthetic practices for skin rejuvenation. The popularity of IPL technology has increased because of its simplicity, low cost and versatility, allowing for treatment of a variety of vascular and pigmented lesions. The broad spectrum of IPL covers the visible and near infrared spectrum and can be easily adjusted for specific applications by using filters and optimizing lamp parameters. The spectrum of IPL may be used for treatment of pigmented lesions with different levels of aggression; it includes multiple peaks of hemoglobin absorption, and penetrates into the skin down to a few millimeters at longer wavelengths.

Noninvasive fat reduction is claimed by many device manufacturers, but proof of efficacy has been difficult to establish. This prospective study was designed to measure the reduction of fat thickness and actual volume reduction in 20 female patients treated with an external radiofrequency (RF) device. This device combines RF heat, suction coupled vacuum, and oscillating electrical pulses that induce adipocyte death over time.

To date, there have been no objective measurements of subcutaneous volume loss following treatments with a noninvasive radiofrequency (RF)-based device. Twenty female patients were treated with a suction-coupled bipolar RF device using external RF energy combined with pulsed electromagnetic RF energy for subcutaneous fat reduction. Parameters followed included weight, Vectra measurements of abdominal circumference and torso volume, and high-definition ultrasound measurements of fat thickness. Measurements were taken before treatment and three times following treatment.

Liposuction of the arms alone may be inadequate for aesthetic improvement because of skin laxity. Radiofrequency-assisted liposuction (RFAL) and aggressive superficial liposuction (SupL) have been described to stimulate soft tissue retraction to improve results. We compare the techniques and describe a classification scheme that factors skin laxity, skin quality, and Fitzpatrick type to provide treatment recommendations.
