FINAL PROGRAM 6TH EDITION - EuroMediCom

Proslimelt is an apparatus, that uses specific focalized low frequency ultrasound waves that produces a breakage of the cellularmembrane of the treated tissue and the exiting of the adipocytes from the cells, leaving the surrounding areas undamaged, with atermo-mechanical effect, in a comfortable, fast, safe and non invasive way.Dr.Vannini will show that the results reached by using this device have been encouraging in the consideration of stable and long lastingeffects with low frequency ultrasound waves are used for eliminating excess of localized fat.Based on these results, the author believes that this type of treatment could be an excellent alternative or complement to traditionalsurgery.SKIN LAXITY IMPROVEMENT AND BODY CONTOURING, USING A COMBINATION OF BI-POLAR RADIOFREQUENCY,INFRARED LIGHT AND TISSUE MANIPULATIONCOMBINAISON RADIOFRÉQUENCE BIPOLAIRE, LUMIÈRE INFRAROUGE ET MANIPILATION MÉCANIQUEFRANCESCA DE ANGELIS(ITALY)AESTHETIC DERMATOLOGY & SURGERYBack ground: In response to the global rise in non-surgical body contouring treatments, we studied the effects of a new platform,based on elos combination of bi-polar radiofrequency and infrared light energies, combined with negative pressure and tissuemanipulation.Methods: Ten subjects affected by cellulite of the thighs and/or buttocks underwent treatment to reduce both cellulite andcircumferences of the treated areas. Ten additional subjects with sagging skin on their abdomen, waist or thighs following liposuctionin these areas within 9 to 24 months were also treated. All subjects were treated once a week for a total number of four treatments.Subjects were evaluated using standardized photographs and by having the investigator and an independent evaluator grade visualimprovement. Measurements of body weight and circumferences of the treated areas were performed at baseline, several times duringthe treatment course and four weeks after the last treatment.Results: Preliminary results indicate a rapid reduction in the circumference of the treated areas and a smoother appearance of theskin's surface in almost 85% of the areas treated. Based on treatments conducted so far, we report circumferences reduction of atleast 1cm (and up to 5.2cm at the end of the treatment series). We also observed a reshaping effect, manifested mainly by lifting ofsagging skin and improvement of skin texture, in those patients previously treated with liposuction. Side effects were limited to transienterythema in most patients; bruising was observed in two patients after the first couple of treatment sessions, but not as the treatmentseries progressed. High patient satisfaction rates were noted during and after the treatment course.Conclusions: This device demonstrated to be effective and safe for body contouring and improvement of skin laxity, with no downtime or side effects.Saturday April 12 th / Samedi 12 AvrilAESTHETIC DERMATOLOGY & SURGERYBLUE AUDITORIUM / AMPHI BLEUSESSION 13REJUVENATION OF THE EYES: MEDICAL AND SURGICAL APPROACHES PART 1LE RAJEUNISSEMENT DE LA ZONE PÉRI-ORBITALE : APPROCHES MÉDICALE ET CHIRURGICALECHAIR: CÉDRIC KRON PLASTIC SURGEON (PARIS, FRANCE)ROBERT PETERSON PLASTIC SURGEON (HONOLULU, USA)8.30 am / 8h30PARTICULARITIES OF PERI-ORBITAL ANATOMYPARTICULARITÉS ANATOMIQUES DE LA ZONE PÉRI-ORBITALEJACQUES LAGIER(FRANCE)This lecture deals with corpse anatomic dissection performed in the anatomic laboratory of the faculty of Medecine in Nice.The Human anatomy forms the basis of all medical and surgical procedures .Firstly, the eyelid skin is the thinnest and the most mobile part of the body.With time, sun exposure and smoking, a lot of changes occur, namely a misposition of the eyebrows, dermatochaliasis, fat bag, lines,and rings .These changes are accounted for by the gravity forces and thus result in facial fat drop and muscular weakening .Secondly, I would like to point out the "SMAS" and its continuity with the orbicularis muscle .You can see how to use the fasciasuperficialis flap in oculoplastic surgery .Thirdly, the anatomy of the glabellar area shows you how to treat glabellar lines with botulic toxin. Moreover, the anatomy of thesuperior and inferior orbital rim shows you how to perform the lipostructure graft.Lastly, deeper, under the orbicularis muscle, you can see the levator eyelid system.To conclude, I will show you an example of surgical procedure directly applied from anatomy.63
