Polynucleotides as a novel therapeutic approach in androgenetic alopecia: an analysis of effectiveness and safety.

Feb, 2025

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a highly prevalent condition that poses a significant challenge to quality of life, yet the US Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments remain limited. Polynucleotides (PN) stimulate tissue regeneration by reducing inflammation, activation of growth factors and accelerating angiogenesis, which are vital for hair regrowth. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of PN in promoting hair regrowth by measuring changes in hair diameter and density in patients with AGA. This prospective study evaluated 28 patients with AGA who received four injection of DOT™ PN (DNA Fragment Optimizing Technology Polynucleotides) at four-week intervals. Hair diameter and density were quantitatively assessed using dermoscopic analysis. Treatment efficacy was also evaluated using patient and dermatologist satisfaction survey. Both hair diameter and density showed significant improvement, with hair diameter increased notably one month post-treatment and continuing to rise throughout the study. Total hair density improvements were evident from one months post-treatment onwards. Additionally, the dermatologist's assessment indicated stabilization in 60.7% of cases, while the patient assessment score indicated improvement in 82.1% of cases, with no serious side effects. This study demonstrates that PN effectively promotes hair regrowth in AGA patients. This is likely due to increased angiogenesis and anti-apoptotic effects. PN offers a promising new alternative for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments. leer más

Customized Treatment Using Microfocused Ultrasound with Visualization for Optimized Patient Outcomes: A Review of Skin-tightening Energy Technologies and a Pan-Asian Adaptation of the Expert Panel's Gold Standard Consensus.

May, 2021

Noninvasive facial-rejuvenation devices, such as nonablative radiofrequency (RF) and laser-assisted technology, are increasingly replacing higher-risk surgeries for face and body skin laxity. We sought to review published information on noninvasive energy device safety and efficacy in aesthetic skin tightening, compare these with our experiences in Asian patients, and disseminate a consensus for optimizing microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) in Asian patients. A broad, nonexhaustive, nonsystematic literature search of published studies indexed in PubMed was performed to compare selected energy technologies to MFU-V for noninvasive face and body skin tightening, in particular, among Asian patients. This was supplemented with internal documents to provide evidence and support arguments if no peer-reviewed data were available. We highlighted the differences between devices and platforms and identified factors requiring attention and caution. Due to the increase in new devices lacking strong supporting clinical evidence of both safety and efficacy in Asia, it is necessary to convene physicians with substantial experience in MFU-V and devise a consensus on Asian patient selection, treatment planning, and customization. Many platforms duplicate or claim similar technologies, efficacy, or safety without significant peer-reviewed scientific or clinical evidence. We showed that MFU-V satisfies this clinical imperative. Further, the patented DeepSEE technology allows users to noninvasively "see" through the skin to ensure treatment precision, facilitate optimal skin lifting and tightening, and enhance patient comfort and safety. Therefore, we believe that MFU-V is the gold standard for nonsurgical lifting and skin tightening. leer más

Case Report: The role of intradermal micro-droplet hyaluronic acid injection in the correction of filler nodules complication.

Nov, 2020

Filler injection has been widely used as a non-surgical intervention for skin rejuvenation and augmentation for the past decade. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is considered the most common treated material with high safety profile. Various mechanisms, including promoting collagen synthesis are postulated the efficacy of this powerful skin rejuvenation. The greater number of its used, the more complications were seen. Among the non-vascular complications from filler injection, the most frequent one is nodule formation. It could occur as early or late onset even with HA injection. One of the causes of these nodule formation is from poor injection technique leading to visible skin beads and lumps. The current treatments of these filler side effects mainly aim to remove or reduce excessive or displaced filler product. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no report of using the intradermal injection of the micro-droplet HA to correct filler nodule and simultaneously revitalize the skin quality. This novel treatment technique could be a safe alternative for nodule formation correction. leer más

Severe vision loss caused by cosmetic filler augmentation: Case series with review of cause and therapy.

Oct, 2018

Hyaluronic acid (HA) injection is a popular nonsurgical, facial rejuvenating procedure. Due to the rapidly expanding use of HA injections, significant potential complications have also increased in frequency. Among these complications, the rare but most devastating one is arterial occlusion, which can result in skin necrosis or blindness. To describe the mechanisms behind vision loss secondary to hyaluronic acid injection and the efficacy of treatments to restore vision and associated ocular functionality. We reviewed six cases of patients from October 2011 to December 2017 who experienced vision loss after receiving facial HA injections and the subsequent treatments undertaken to attempt to reverse the vision loss and additional eye complications. Of the six patients, four received nose, one received forehead, and another one received temple injections. All six patients developed vision loss secondary to hyaluronic acid embolization in retinal or ophthalmic arteries. Additional complications included severe periorbital pain, ptosis, impairment of extraocular muscle functionality. Recovery of vision was dependent on the type, frequency, and duration of subsequent treatment. Vision loss is a rare but catastrophic complication caused by hyaluronic injection that occurs secondary to hyaluronic acid embolization in retinal or ophthalmic arteries due to retrograde flow from facial vascular anastomoses. We suggest the early supratrochlear/supraorbital hyaluronidase injection, ocular massage, and re-breathing into a plastic bag as safe, uncomplicated and effective methods to restore the retinal circulation and reverse vision loss. leer más

Current Practices in Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler Treatment in Asia Pacific and Practical Approaches to Achieving Safe and Natural-Looking Results.

2022

Complications such as delayed inflammatory reactions (DIRs) and unnatural outcomes can sometimes arise from hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler treatments and can be challenging to address. Given the popularity of HA dermal fillers for aesthetic procedures, there is a need for preventive strategies to minimize these complications. Two hundred practitioners from 10 regions in Asia Pacific who administer HA fillers completed a survey on prevention of DIRs and unnatural outcomes. Thirteen global experts convened to evaluate the current practices and propose practical approaches for safe and appropriate use of HA dermal fillers. From the survey, the top three measures used to reduce the risk of DIRs included choosing an appropriate HA filler, aseptic technique, and patient selection. Key strategies employed to achieve natural-looking outcomes were treatment customization, understanding the rheological properties and behavior of different HA fillers, and being conservative in treatment approach. The panel developed a concise reference guide aimed at minimizing the risk of DIRs while achieving natural aesthetic outcomes. Five practical considerations were recommended: patient assessment and individualization of treatment plan, choice of an appropriate HA filler, adequate knowledge of facial anatomy, strict adherence to aseptic methods, and proper injection technique. The panel highlighted the need for education efforts to increase awareness of differential immunogenicity between HA fillers and to improve understanding on the importance of preserving aesthetic individuality for optimal results. These practical insights from the global experts support practitioners in optimizing safety and quality of aesthetic treatment with HA fillers. leer más
