Wrinkles, ageing skin, scars …People started to look for ways to fix these aesthetic defects many centuries ago. Ancient people removed the skin’s top layer by using abrasive materials and burned skin with acids obtained from natural products. Modern methods include the use of lasers, microwaves and ultrasound. However, despite all the diversity of methods and tools, their general approach is the same: burning in order to force the body to regenerate the skin to a somewhat better state than before. And even the simple mechanical removal of the epidermis (that seemingly happens without any...

From stars to.. scars “Horribly disfigured from this laser procedure. Permanent stamp-mark scars on neck, chest, and face. Totally destroyed my dermis layer”. “It been almost a year since I had this painful and negative life changing procedure done and the grid spider-man scarring on my chest has not gone away at all”. “It was the worst decision of my life. I have lost so much fat in my face, my skin texture is horrific, and I have microscarring (holes) all over my cheeks”. (quoted from www.realself.com) Fractional photothermolysis (FT) is an approach to laser skin resurfacing that creates...

Another side of lasers The laser is the most precise and most powerful tool given to us by nature. Lasers have been used in medicine for more than 50 years, and the sphere of their use expands with every passing year. However, in the mass consciousness, lasers are strongly associated only with their ability to cut and burn although this is far from all of which they are capable. While developing the RecoSMA technology scientists employed a completely different method. They managed to transform laser energy into powerful mechanical waves which degrade the membranes of individual cells at...

therapy” of traditional laser and non-laser methods? Introducing a new laser technology called RecoSMA. The method was developed and Fig. 1 patented by The Linline Company, and it is implemented throughout the Multiline series of devices. In this method Erbium laser radiation is used with wavelength of 2936nm (well absorbed by water) which is spatially-modulated so that the rregularised structure of the maximums and minimums of light dosage forms on the processed surface. Setting of optimum values of light dosage from 2 to 3 J/cm² and of the optimum laser pulse length permits getting local...

RecoSMA is a non-invasive laser technique which simultaneously lifts the skin and underlying musculoaponeurotic layer which ensures the retention of soft tissues from sagging. The procedure completely restores all skin structures damaged by extrinsic ageing mechanisms. The stimulation of the production of collagen and elastin is under the influence of the laser beam in the connective tissue of the muscleaponeurotic layer. It leads to enhanced elasticity of the connective tissue, dermis and the general augmentaton of skin. We should also note very little discomfort as one of the advantages...

Interview with Professor Jean-Paul Meningaud University professor, Paris 12 Head of the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery of Henri Mondor Hospital, Paris Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration Professor Meningaud, you are a famous maxillofacial surgeon and you have collaborated in major global firsts, some of which were incredibly complex and difficult, such as the simultaneous face and hand transplant. Can you explain how does one become one of the best plastic surgeons in the world? (He smiles). I cannot answer the question about it being said that I am...
