Customizing cryolipolysis treatment protocols through the use of multiple applicators and multiple same-day treatment cycles can provide more natural-looking results for patients seeking fat reduction in the arms, according to a study published in the September 2018 issue of Lasers in Surgery and Medicine. Jason K. Rivers, BSc, MD, FRCPC, FAAD, et al, simultaneously treated bilateral arms of 15 eligible subjects (mean age of 51.1, mean BMI of 26.8) using one or two CoolSculpting vacuum applicators with flat contours. Their goal was to investigate the safety and efficacy of a new small applicator used in conjunction with an existing medium-sized applicator for the customized treatment of arm fat.
The researchers evaluated the shape of the fat bulge in each subject's arm and delivered up to two treatment cycles (−11°C for 35 minutes each)—using either one or both of the vacuum applicators—in one session. They assessed the subject's level of comfort, as well as sensory and motor nerve effects throughout the procedure and at the end of each treatment cycle. Efficacy was assessed through photographs taken at baseline and 12 weeks post‐treatment. Subjects also completed patient satisfaction questionnaires.

Skinade is a leading professional skincare drink that nourishes the skin from inside to reduce the signs of aging. Engineered for optimal absorption and efficacy, each daily dose is packed with the highest-quality marine collagen and essential nutrients. By focusing its effort on increasing awareness around the benefits that liquid supplementation can have on general skin health, the message of skinade is simple: we must look beyond classic skincare treatments for the best results.
Paul Banwell, MD, a plastic and cosmetic surgeon with a special interest in skin health, uses skinade in The Banwell Clinic. “The skin drink contains several co-factors and nutrients that will improve skin elasticity and the density of the collagen structure. I was skeptical at first. However, we trialed skinade with our patients and have had some astounding results, in terms of improved skin appearance and patient satisfaction,” he says.
Benji Dhillon, MD, from London aesthetic clinic, PHI, explains how skinade works and why he recommends an inside out approach to clients that are looking to do the best for their skin. “The field of supplements and nutraceuticals is rapidly growing. We are now becoming increasingly aware that...

The site features researched content, product reviews and insider profiles, together with the latest beauty news and trends.
