tier1 Microwaves Versus Combined Microwaves and Fractional Carbon Dioxide Laser in the Treatment of Postpartum Abdominal Laxity Among Filipino Patients in a Tertiary Hospital: A Randomized, Prospective, Assessor-Blinded, Simultaneous Split-Abdomen Trial.
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Postpartum abdominal laxity is a growing concern for women. Noninvasive options like microwave technology and fractional carbon dioxide (CO2) laser show promise, but their combined efficacy and safety require further investigation. AIM: To compare the efficacy and safety of microwaves versus combined microwaves and fractional CO2 laser in the treatment of postpartum abdominal laxity...

View on PubMedtier2 Efficacy and Safety of Microwave Energy-Based Device for Facial Rejuvenation: A Retrospective Comparative Study With High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound.
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Facial aging is characterized by soft tissue atrophy, subcutaneous fat redistribution, and dermal laxity, most pronounced in the lower face and submental region. High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is the benchmark noninvasive lifting modality, whereas microwave energy-based devices (MEBDs) have recently emerged, targeting adipose tissue and dermis. Although MEBD has been validated in body...

Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUNDS AND AIMS: Submental skin laxity (SSL), manifesting as sagging skin and double chin, can significantly affect patients' self-perception and social interactions. While surgical treatments exist, non-invasive methods are increasingly sought for their minimal recovery time. This study assesses the safety and effectiveness of a novel microwave-based device for treating SSL, aiming to provide long-term...

View on PubMedtier_other Non-invasive system delivering microwaves energy for unwanted fat reduction and submental skin tightening: Clinical evidence.
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Cervicomental contour represents an important aesthetic problem. AIMS: This research evaluates the safety and the efficacy of a new non-invasive system delivering microwave energy for the treatment of submental skin laxity and fat. METHODS: Forty-eight subjects underwent submental treatment with the device at hand at Poliambulatorio San Michele, Reggio Emilia, Italy.

View on PubMedtier_other Combined microwaves and fractional microablative CO2 laser treatment for postpartum abdominal laxity.
Abstract summary (English) BACKGROUND: Postpartum abdominal changes represent a major esthetic concern affecting women. As the abdomen stretches during pregnancy and some of the muscles lose tone, there is an increased skin laxity and a loss of abdominal elasticity. As a result, the abdomen becomes saggy.

View on PubMedtier_other Low-temperature atmospheric plasma increases the expression of anti-aging genes of skin cells without causing cellular damages.
Abstract summary (English) Efforts to employ various types of plasma in the field of skin care have increased consistently because it can regulate many biochemical reactions that are normally unaffected by light-based therapy. One method for skin rejuvenation adopted a high-temperature plasma generator to remove skin epithelial cells. In this case, the catalyzing effects of the plasma were rarely used due to the high temperature.
