2011-04-28

NEW YORK, NY, April 28, 2011 (Press-News.org) When you are plagued by unsightly facial lines and wrinkles, nothing can be more satisfying than immediate correction with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers consist of biocompatible materials, such as concentrated hyaluronic acid, that are injected beneath the skin to enhance subtle contours and soften facial creases and wrinkles brought on by old age. If you would like to regain your youthful appearance without the downtime required for facelift surgery, dermal fillers may be right for you.

How to Select a Dermal Filler For Your Needs

There are dozens of dermal fillers on the market today, each of which is suited to addressing particular skin imperfections. The following is a list of popular dermal fillers and their uses to help you determine which is right for your needs:

- Restylane , Perlane and Juvederm -- these dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance already present in your body. These three fillers work to add volume and shape to lift up wrinkles and folds in your face. Within the Restylane and Juvederm lines, there are two options available (Perlane and Juvederm Plus) for differing product consistencies. Thicker consistencies are used to treat the deepest wrinkles and folds
- Radiesse -- Radiesse is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel. This dermal filler not only adds volume in treated areas, but also stimulates your natural growth of collagen, rebuilding your skin's foundation without the risk of permanent dermal fillers
- Sculptra -- this dermal filler is made of a synthetic material known as poly-L-lactic acid, an acid used in dissolvable stitches and soft tissue implants. Sculptra is injected below the surface of your skin where it stimulates your body to produce additional volume

Common Treatment Areas

Board-certified plastic surgeons use dermal fillers to treat fine lines and wrinkles of the face. Some common treatment areas include:

- Around the eyes
- Brow and forehead
- Bridge of the nose
- Around the mouth
- Jaw line and cheeks

Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume to your lips and may even last longer than normal collagen injections. Dermal fillers should not be used for wrinkles in your hands, to add volume to breasts or any other part of the body other than the face. In some cases, dermal fillers can be used to treat scars, cellulite dimples or other small depressions in your skin.

If you live in Westchester, Manhattan, New York City or anywhere in the state of New York and would like to speak to an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon about your options with dermal fillers, please contact Dr. Scott E. Newman at Advanced Plastic Surgery today to schedule your free initial consultation.

Spanish scientific journals must raise professional standards in order to compete

2011-04-28

A study by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) shows a lack of standardisation in the peer review systems whereby independent experts assess the content of scientific publications published in Spain. This results in a low level of international competitiveness among these publications. "We studied the entire peer review process, beyond the fact of such a review simply being stated in the publication. Our research showed a low level of standardisation in these processes. This reflects a need to work to professionalise some of the Spanish scientific ...

Government Shutdowns, Budget Deficits and Social Security Benefits

2011-04-28

Government Shutdowns, Budget Deficits and Social Security Benefits With a government shutdown recently narrowly averted, many people wondered what happens to Social Security benefits during a government shutdown. While the Social Security Administration is able to operate on its own during a shutdown, shortcomings in the SSA's funding as well as issues with the federal deficit and debt ceiling may signal trouble for the SSA and people receiving Social Security benefits in the future. Government Shutdown During a government shutdown, only "essential" ...

Large differences in mortality between urban and isolated rural areas

2011-04-28

In urban communities, less than 1 in 100 inhabitants died from Spanish flu in 1918, but in isolated communities up to 9 out of 10 died. An important explanation for the differences is due to different exposure to influenza in the decades before the Spanish flu came. Those living in urban communities probably had a higher degree of pre-existing immunity that protected against illness and death in 1918 than those living in very isolated rural areas. This is shown in a new study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. Previous studies have suggested that an important ...

Study suggests lower risk of coronary heart disease from alcohol, even with hazardous drinking

The analysis assesses the 12-month prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in individuals according to their category of alcohol use. The 2001 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions study (the NESARC study, n = 43,093) identified 16,147 abstinent individuals, 15,884 moderate consumers, 9,578 hazardous drinkers — defined as exceeding sex-specific weekly limits established by the World Health Organization, and 1,484 alcohol-dependent subjects. Diagnoses were generated using the Alcohol Use Disorder and Associated Disabilities Interview Schedule-DSM-IV ...

Car Accident Reports Impacted by Latest Ohio Transportation Budget

2011-04-28

Car Accident Reports Impacted by Latest Ohio Transportation Budget One important bit of wisdom that most people understand about the aftermath of an Ohio auto accident is to wait for police to arrive so you can provide your take on events for the police report. The information that law enforcement includes regarding a car crash or trucking accident is important for both criminal charges and civil liability. But the latest transportation and public safety budget passed by the Ohio General Assembly and signed by Governor Kasich limits the circumstances under which police ...

New test shows promise for detecting warning signs of joint replacement failure

2011-04-28

A new test shows promise for detecting the early stages of a major cause of failure in joint replacement implants, so that patients can be treated and perhaps avoid additional surgery. More than 1.5 million total joint replacement operations are performed worldwide each year. While the success rate is 90 per cent, almost 10 per cent of implants fail and require additional surgery, report appears in the ACS journal Molecular Pharmaceutics. Dong Wang and colleagues at University of Nebraska Medical Center and the Hospital for Special Surgery of New York explain that wear ...

Tropical blueberries are extreme super fruits

2011-04-28

The first analysis of the healthful antioxidant content of blueberries that grow wild in Mexico, Central and South America concludes that some of these fruits have even more healthful antioxidants than the blueberries — already renowned as "super fruits" — sold throughout the United States. These extreme super fruits could provide even more protection against heart disease, cancer and other conditions, the report suggests. It appears in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Edward Kennelly and colleagues note that although there are over 600 species of blueberries ...

Preventable Medical Errors Happen Too Frequently in U.S. Hospitals Study Finds Hospital Safety Not Improving Fast Enough A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found patient safety in US hospitals is not improving -- despite the renewed focus in many health care centers on improving the delivery of patient care and reducing the incidence of medical errors.

A better imaging agent for heart disease and breast cancer

2011-04-28

Scientists are reporting development of a process for producing large quantities of a much-needed new imaging agent for computed tomography (CT) scans in heart disease, breast cancer and other diseases, and the first evidence that the material is safe for clinical use. The imaging agent is a tantalum oxide nanoparticle, which is inexpensive, and stays in the body long enough to image many different organs. The report appears in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. Taeghwan Hyeon, Seung Hong Choi, and colleagues explain that CT is one of the most widely used medical ...

Laser printing speeds parts on demand to manufacturers

2011-04-28

Pull into the auto repair shop with a smashed bumper, and there's no wait while they order a replacement. Instead, the technician downloads specifications from the manufacturer's database. You both watch as a laser beam probing a container of liquid plastic material almost magically builds a new bumper inch by inch. The scenario may sound like science fiction, but advances in polymer materials are moving the technology for 3-D printing" of prosthetic limbs, hearing aids, designer furniture, surgical tools and other products out of the designer's studio and into the ...
