Dr Leroy Young presents the
findings of the ASAPS-led study ... |
|
|
At this year’s
meeting
of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) in May, a
2-year study on injection lipolysis, which had
already been approved by the FDA, was presented under the direction of
Dr Leroy Young...
The compounds
required
for the study were manufactured by MASTERPHARM LLC, NY; our
partner pharmacy for the NETWORK PPC-DOC formula. Once again, this
choice has
reassured us that we have the right partner in MASTERPHARM. More than
20 patients
have been treated by the physicians. All demonstrated measurable
results and there
were no serious side-effects. Leroy Young and
his colleagues are currently working on a publication on their findings
for the Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
We will, of
course, let you know as soon as this is available; keep your eyes on
this space!

Novabel® by Merz® is currently no longer
available for delivery
The
recently introduced algae-based filler by Merz® is no longer available
for delivery ...
|
|
|
The recently introduced
algae-based filler by Merz® is no longer
available for
delivery. Unfortunately, the concerns raised some time ago by our team
of instructors about the possible lack of a treatment protocol for
emerging complications, have been justified. One expert, for example,
has stated that although he finds the basic approach very interesting,
he does not wish to take on the risk of using Novabel® as a treatment
method, because 1 or 2 patients with irreparable complications is
already enough to cause major problems for his practice. It is
commendable that the manufacturer has taken the decision not to
distribute the product until a complications protocol has been
developed.

ISAPS: Plastic Surgeons
treated more than 65,000 patients with Injection-Lipolysis
The
International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery has published the
2009 statistics ... |
|
|
In 2009 the Plastic Surgeons
alone did more than 65,000 treatments with injection-lipolysis. In
comparison to liposuction (1,600,000 treatments) IL shows a huge growth
potential.
In the future we expect a
ratio of 80:20. IL is the first option for small fat deposits or in
case when liposuction is uncomfortable for the patient like in facial
treatments or dorsal bulges. Additionally for indications where IL is
clearly the first choice (lipomata) and for patients who don't want to
undergo surgery for aesthetic reasons.
Top countries amongst the
Plastic Surgeons are the US and Canada for IL treatments. If other
faculties would be added we suppose Germany to be the No. 1 country for
IL treatments.

Publication by Dr Michael
Weidmann in Kosmetische Medizin
2.10
First
presentation of the NETWORK-AestheticMeso treatment protocol ...
|
|
|
In
edition 2/2010 of Kosmetische Medizin,
a lengthy article by Dr Weidmann
on mesotherapy has been published, which provides experienced users
with an easy-to-digest overview of the newly developed NETWORK
treatment protocol on the indications for MesoLift, MesoGlow, MesoHair
(hair loss) and MesoCellu (cellulite combination treatment - injection
lipolysis and mesotherapy)
Dr
Weidmann invites all experienced users to take part in the further
development of the protocol. Through standardised treatment protocols,
the aim of the NETWORK is to use the data received from user
observations for greater objectivity on treatment results.

"Aesthetic Holidays" - A celebration for
body and soul
Compared
to 25 physicians in June 2009, this year saw over 50 physicians take
advantage of our German-speaking “Aesthetic Holidays” in Mallorca.
During the 4-day break, the mornings were taken up with intensive work,
while, in the afternoons, participants had the opportunity to explore
leisure activities with family or colleagues ... |
|
|
|
According
to Dr Lutz Röhnert: "I took part in the Mallorca workshop for the first
time in 2010, and I have to say I’m impressed! You have really managed
to create a fine balance between work and leisure, which makes learning
enjoyable. The afternoons spent with colleagues at the pool come highly
recommended; that’s where the best tips for everyday work were ‘passed
on’”.
And
this is just one of many positive responses we have received following
the second “Aesthetic Holidays” in Mallorca. During the 4-day break,
the mornings were taken up with intensive work, while, in the
afternoons, participants had the opportunity to explore leisure
activities with family or colleagues.
Participants
had the opportunity to choose from 8 different workshops. The evenings
were used for the mutual exchange of ideas; for example, through both
forums, or in connection with the much-discussed lecture by Dr Michael
J. Weidmann on the subject of "Developments in Aesthetic Medicine
2010", which provided participants with an overview of all the latest
developments.
"Aesthetic Holidays" in the English
language:
Following the
experiences and extremely positive feedback from
German-speaking participants, we have decided to offer the “Aesthetic
Holidays” to English-speaking parties too. We are currently at the
stage of planning an event in Sharm El Sheikh from 4 to 6 March 2011.
Through our compact yet intensive programme, it’s an opportunity to
escape the dull time of year, to stock up on sunshine and to learn
about/broaden your knowledge on aesthetic treatments.
Those who are interested should contact us in good time. This
year’s event was already fully booked 3 months in advance. Beforehand,
English-speaking physicians are being offered the opportunity to take
part in our course in Frankfurt at the beginning of December, where
they can learn about the ‘NETWORK’ protocol on injection lipolysis.

Sculptra® receives excellent
ratings in a comparative study
New
study reveals very good results for nasolabial folds ... |
|
|
The
results of Sculptra® and CosmoPlast® for the treatment of nasolabial
folds have just been published in a multicentre comparative study. A
total of 233 patients of all ages were treated, 116 with Sculptra® and
117 with CosmoPlast®. The results have already been reported on through
the Medical News Today
website (link), and can be found in detail in the online
edition of the Journal of American
Academy of Dermatology.
The results concern both the effectiveness, as well as the safety of
both of the materials used. Sculptra® showed a significantly better
effect than the collagen preparation. The effect lasted for 25 months.

PPC warning
Many foreign
products are not suitable for lipolysis ...
|
|
|
|
We
are repeatedly offered phosphatidylcholine products, which we would
warn you against. Many indications suggest that these products could
contain excessively high concentrations of deoxycholic acid, which,
apart from severe side-effects, also causes severe pain. It is likely
that some products also contain far too little phosphatidylcholine for
successful lipolysis application.
Some
mixtures which are available on the market neutralise the
cell-protective effect of the PPC and, apart from powerful
side-effects, are unable to achieve any lipolytic effect.
The
topic of product safety is of such paramount importance to us that
NETWORK is planning, in the interest of physician and patient
protection, to have all available products of this type reviewed by an
independent German laboratory, and to make the findings available to
our members.

New ready-made mixtures for
aesthetic mesotherapy, in accordance with NETWORK protocol
For the first four
indications, the new ready-made mixtures; MesoGlow, MesoLift, MesoHair
and
MesoCellu, have been available through the NETWORK shop for the past 3
months. The compositions are the result of two years’
development work by dermatologists and experienced mesotherapy
practitioners
belonging to NETWORK-AestheticMeso ...
|
|
|
|
 After
the test phase, the
mixtures were released for widespread application. The purpose of these
ready-made mixtures is to simplify (mixing of the individual substances
is not required) and standardise treatment.
Given
that all users now use the same substances and protocols, and the same
concentrations of active substances are used every time, results can be
compared on a large scale for the first time in mesotherapy. So far,
the feedback from users on the results and handling of the NETWORK
protocol and mixtures is extremely positive. In addition, a
non-crosslinked hyaluronic acid (2%) with excellent viscosity qualities
has been developed, which mixes very well and has been optimised for
use in mesotherapy.
|
|
|
The
market price speaks for itself and is particularly agreeable. With our
range of products designed by physicians for physicians, we consciously
avoid any costly marketing gimmicks such as elaborately designed
packaging, etc., which ultimately only serve to make the product more
expensive. Test the mixtures for yourself and give us your own personal
appraisal! |

If
you wish to know more about lipolysis and aesthetic mesotherapy and
would like additional information on the scientific background, there
are various conferences taking place around the world where you can
