Objectives: Describe the latest trends in whole body rejuvenation

Introduction: The latest paradigm shift in aesthetic dermatology is adopting whole body rejuvenation. In this the three layers (epidermis, dermis and fat) are targeted simultaneously to improve tone, texture and tightening, while lift is added via volumetric augmentation approaches. Combination of these approaches requires strategic planning by the physicians and collaboration with the patients individual goals.

Materials / method: Combination approaches were designed to provide upper body rejuvenation, specifically fat reduction, skin tightening of the chest, neck, decollete, arms and abdomen. Specific patient paradigms are presented

Results: Combination of fractional lasers/peels with skin tightening technologies and fat removal approaches can result in optimal rejuvenation of the upper body. Addition of fillers in the medial arms, chest, and abdomen area can aid in providing additional contour. The best sequence of treatments is initiating with fat removal following by epidermal/dermal tightening and remodeling. Combination therapies may be done the same days and maintenance programs can secure the clinical outcomes.

Conclusion: Upper body rejuvenation using combination approach can lead to successful results for the patient without requiring downtime or surgery.
