Dysport Proves Safe, Effective Anti-Wrinkle Treatment, Plastic Surgeons Find

Added By admin on August 4th, 2009

The new anti-wrinkle facial filler Dysport, which could be used as an alternative to Botox, noticeably reduced frown lines between the eyes, according to users and independent reviewers in a study involving plastic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medical Center.

“Our study confirmed that Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a safe and effective tool in fighting wrinkles,” said Dr. Rod Rohrich, chairman of plastic surgery at UT Southwestern and one of the study’s authors. “It also confirmed that the dosage should be tailored to one’s facial muscle mass to be most effective. So it’s important to visit with a certified plastic surgeon to ensure the dosage is correct.” More

Smallest Year-Over-Year Growth On Record For Cosmetic Procedures

Added By admin on March 27th, 2009

March, 27, 2009, Showing sensitivity to weaknesses in the U.S. economy, plastic surgery was not spared from the recession’s grasp. According to the newest national procedural statistics report from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), in 2008, doctors performed over 12 million cosmetic plastic surgery procedures – encompassing both surgical and minimally-invasive procedures. Surgical numbers dropped nine percent and minimally-invasive numbers rose five percent. Nearly 5 million reconstructive plastic surgery procedures were performed, slightly more than the previous year.

“Like most sectors, plastic surgery is feeling the effects of the economic downturn,” said John Canady, MD, ASPS president. “However, repeat patients and those putting off surgery, likely sustained demand for some minimally-invasive procedures. Growth in demand will likely return as the recession eases and baby boomer’s offspring begin to explore surgical options.” More

February 9, 2009, In spite of the turbulent economy in 2008 and the gloomy outlook presented by financial analysts and economic experts, Americans may still be fueling a few spending streaks in 2009. The American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) is predicting a significant increase in demand for certain types of cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures, in addition to trends where consumers are prepared to ‘try’ new and innovative procedures entering the market.

In a December 2008 press release, the ASAPS highlights the increasing growth and popularity of cosmetic fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Evolence, especially as more injectable fillers enter the market. Reloxin, an alternative to Botox, has been under FDA review and may be the latest competition for Botox and other wrinkle removal treatments. More

Cosmetic procedures are still evolving

Added By admin on December 17th, 2008

December 17, 2008, Cosmetic surgery is constantly changing as it is shaped by technology and innovative procedures. In the last two years, for example, plastic surgeons have begun offering several new liposuction techniques.

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, laser-assisted liposuction — or SmartLipo — is a body contouring surgery that uses laser energy during a significant portion of the procedure. As one of the newest liposuction techniques, it was introduced in 2007. And SmartLipo is the first laser to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration for fat dissolution. More
