Abstract:

Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is renowned for its inhibitory effects on the neuromuscular junction and is widely used in cosmetic dermatology. The evidence for its use in cosmetic dermatology and in non-dermatological indications is well established and more and more applications of its use beyond cosmetics are being discovered. In this presentation the currect evidence for the non-cosmetic dermatological uses of BoNT will be presented as well as my own personal; experience. The use is ion a multitude of dermatological diseases, including (but not limited to) hyperhidrosis, Darier’s disease, Hailey-Hailey disease, pompholyx, scarring, rosacea and hidradenitis suppurativa. Tips regarding the method of use and combination treatments will be discussed.

Abstract:

Hair loss is the most common hair problem and a prompt diagnosis of the type of alopecia may sometimes be extremely challenging. Methods commonly used to investigate may be invasive (biopsy), semi invasive (trichogram) or non-invasive (hair count, weighing shed hair and pull test). 'Trichoscopy' represents a valuable, noninvasive technique for the evaluation of patients with hair loss. It allows for magnified visualization of the hair and scalp skin, and may be performed with a manual dermoscope or a videodermoscope. The usual working magnifications are 20-fold to 70-fold. Although the hand-held dermoscope with 10-fold magnification may give easy and quick evaluation of hair, it does not precisely measure or document. Trichoscopic observations can be broadly grouped as hair signs, vascular patterns, pigment patterns and interfollicular patterns. In this presentation, we will briefly describe the trichoscopic findings in the common categories of cicatricial and non-cicatricial alopecias such as androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, tinea capitis, trichotillomania, lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus and hair shaft disorders. This method is simple, quick and easy to perform, reduces the need for scalp biopsy, is well accepted by patients, and is useful for monitoring treatment and follow-up. It represents a valuable link between clinical and histologic diagnosis. New data show that trichoscopy may easily replace light microscopic evaluation of pulled hairs in genetic hair shaft abnormalities.

Abstract:

While traditional dentistry focuses on oral hygiene and preventing, diagnosing and treating oral disease, cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the teeth, mouth and smile. In other words restorative, general and/or family dental practices address dental problems that require necessary treatment, whereas cosmetic dentistry provides elective – or desired – treatments or services. Technological advancements in natural-looking, tooth-colored dental materials make today’s cosmetic dental treatments more durable and predictable than in years past. Additionally, dentists are now using more conservative techniques to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, depending upon specific clinical situation.

Increased interest in cosmetic dentistry continues to spark profound interest in procedures such as laser whitening, computerized smile analysis and straightening.This makes procedures such as smile makeovers more comfortable and convenient for patients, as well as helps to reduce recovery time.

Abstract:

The lips and the perioral soft tissues play a key role in facial attractiveness. The correct soft-hard tissue balance is important for achieving and maintaining a pleasing aesthetic appearance and function.The perioral region is considered one of the most difficult areas to treat as it is the most dynamic.A safe and effective cosmetic practice relies on a thorough knowledge and detailed understanding of facial anatomy. When assessing a patient for perioral rejuvenation, it is essential that the practitioner understands the perioral anatomy so that high-risk areas may be identified and precautions are taken to prevent serious adverse events from occurring.
Rejuvenation of the perioral complex can be very challenging because of the many factors that affect the appearance of this area. To create a more youthful, natural-looking form, the physician endeavours to reverse some of the changes that occur due to ageing. Environmental issues must also be addressed, such as smoking, diet, sun damage, and poor dental health.Ageing of the perioral region seems to be amongst the main reasons people seek surgical or nonsurgical aesthetic treatments. Understanding the components of facial ageing will result in a better understanding of the patient’s individual needs and therefore better-tailored treatment plans.When discussing ideal aesthetics and treatment planning for patients, it is important to recognise the differences in races, genders, cultures and aesthetic ideas.
