In our 10th Annual Cosmetic Dermatology issue, dermal filling agents and injectables in general remain a hot topic. This month, we bring you several articles focused on injectables, as well as a well-rounded look at new research and trends in other areas of cosmetic dermatology. Here’s a quick glance at what you’ll find in this month’s issue.
Minimizing Bruising
Beginning on page 48, Leslie Baumann, M.D., and Susan Schaffer, R.N., B.S.N., C.C.R.C., give their advice for what to do before and after procedures with injectables to minimize patients’ bruising.
Optimizing Results With Sculptra
Poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) has been FDA approved for treating facial lipoatrophy, and a cosmetic indication is expected by the year’s end. This month, Douglas R. Mest, M.D., and Gail M. Humble, M.D., discuss their approach to selecting patients and avoiding overcorrections, and they share their injection techniques, beginning on page 60.
Can You Help Patients “See” The Cosmetic Improvements You’ve Made?
Richard Fried, M.D., Ph.D., a dermatologist and psychologist, thinks so. He offers excellent advice for helping patients form realistic expectations of cosmetic procedures and then helping patients to “see” those results post-procedure. He gives insight into a four-step program to help you give patients this insight. His article begins on page 45.
These articles and others that focus on new research (page 67), a review of noninvasive procedures (page 38), and the effects of cosmetic patients on medical dermatology patient scheduling (page 42), and more can be found between the pages of this month’s issue. Enjoy.
Allergen Focus Guest Writers
Beginning with this month and continuing into 2008, the “Allergen Focus” column, founded by Sharon Jacob, M.D., as an educational column about contact dermatitis, will open its pages to other contact dermatitis experts around the country.
This month, Bryan Anderson, M.D., discusses the agents used in many synthetic rubber products. See article beginning on page 16. We hope you will find these upcoming columns valuable to your practice and will continue to enjoy this column that Dr. Jacob has shaped over the last 3 years
