Innholdsfortegnelse for Nov - Jan 2016 (#70) i CosBeauty Magazine

Welcome to our 70th issue of Cosmetic Surgery & Beauty Magazine. The years have passed so quickly, yet this industry never fails to remind us that everything old becomes new again; fashion trends come and go, and beauty is no different. While ‘less is more’ is still the catch-cry, and non-surgical procedures such as fillers and wrinkle-relaxing injections have become mainstream, the move away from facial surgery has reversed. This is due to the realisation that sometimes surgery is the only option to achieve the best anti-ageing result for a suitable patient. On page 46 we have a rundown of all the surgical options for facial rejuvenation. You’ll also want to read our feature on light-based therapies (page 62) and their infinite applications in aesthetic enhancement, as well as our…

On October 8 to 10, 2015, the Australasian Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery (AAFPS) joined forces with the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to deliver the most comprehensive and insightful rhinoplasty meeting in Australia, with the leading rhinoplasty experts from around the world all under one roof. Held at the waterfront National Maritime Museum in Sydney, Dr George Marcells, President of the AAFPS and Symposium Co-Convenor, and Dr Peter Callan, ASPS Member and Co-Convenor, welcomed delegates to the Annual Conference & Masters’ Symposium on Functional and Aesthetic Rhinoplasty. ‘Nobody knows more about noses than the keynote speakers we have attracted to this meeting,’ said Dr George Marcells. The collaborative nature of the meeting provided an opportunity for sharing close to 1500 years of combined knowledge and hands-on experience with…

Done the hard yards with your diet and exercise but your tummy’s still more tubby than taut? Let me introduce you to CLATUU – a new non-surgical body sculpting technology that uses controlled cooling to ‘freeze’ and permanently destroy fat from stubborn areas such as the abdomen and thighs. In both clinical and pre-clinical trials, CLATUU, distributed in Australia by Cryomed, has demonstrated its efficacy in eliminating stubborn fat. It works by gently drawing fatty areas into the patented 360˚ applicators and cooling the area to a temperature that causes fat cell apoptosis – while keeping normal cells intact. To be a good candidate, you should be at or near your ideal body weight, eat well and exercise regularly but still have stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to a healthy…

The healing power of light has been recognised and used for thousands of years, dating back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans. Over the millennia, our understanding and use of light-based therapies have continually evolved to optimise results, reduce downtime and treat a wide range of skin conditions and ageing concerns. For cosmetic indications, light-based treatments can be broadly categorised as intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy, light-emitting diode (LED) therapy, photodynamic therapy and laser therapies. Today’s light-based technologies can significantly diminish and even reverse many of the tell-tale signs of ageing – from early lines, uneven pigmentation and broken capillaries to deep wrinkles and severe sun damage. They can reach much deeper levels and affect far more significant changes than would be possible with most other cosmetic treatments, and without…

A beautiful smile should be natural looking, symmetrical and striking. Sydney aesthetic reconstructive dentist Dr Sarkis Nalbandian takes a minimally invasive approach in preserving, improving and maintaining a patient’s natural smile. ‘Optimising the smile should be about imitating nature and working with what’s already there,’ Dr Nalbandian explains. ‘It is essential that the smile is considered in relation to the rest of the face. The shape and shade of the teeth, as well as the arch shape, should be recreated according to the facial frame. It’s really about the face, not about the teeth – that’s true aesthetics.’ While Dr Nalbandian uses a variety of techniques to create aesthetic and functional results in smile rejuvenation, he often recommends composite porcelain and ultra-thin porcelain veneers to achieve noticeable results with minimal…

MEDITERRANEAN DIET SLOWS AGEING OF BRAIN Following a Mediterranean-style diet slows the rate at which the brain shrinks by five years, research suggests. The study indicates a diet consisting of fruit and vegetables, fish and olive oil but little red meat or dairy products may be associated with losing fewer brain cells due to ageing. The findings add weight to the theory that a healthy diet can stave off the onset of Alzheimer’s disease by stopping the brain from growing older. The Columbia University study, published by the journal Neurology, shows that people following a Mediterranean-like diet had a larger brain volume than those who didn’t. Researchers say the difference between the two groups was about the same as five years of ageing. Study author Dr Yian Gu, of Columbia…

While many of us assume breast surgery only applies to younger women seeking augmentation, age-related changes to the breast such as loss of volume and shape are also common reasons for cosmetic breast surgery. ‘There are a number of issues associated with ageing that affect the breasts,’ says Dr John Flynn from Cosmedic & Skin Clinic on the Gold Coast. ‘These include loss of volume, texture and tone of breast tissue, and the inevitable sagging of the breasts. All women will be affected by some of these at some stage of their lives due to the natural ageing process.’ Breast rejuvenation surgery – whether augmentation, reduction or lift (mastopexy) – can significantly boost a woman’s self-esteem and confidence when chosen for the right reasons. Dr Flynn says many breast rejuvenation…

Minimally invasive procedures are key to rejuvenating the appearance and reversing the signs of ageing, believes Sydney cosmetic physician Dr Buddy Beaini from MD Cosmedical Solutions. ‘When selected appropriately and used in combination, minimally invasive procedures can make you look five to 10 years younger,’ he says. Minimally invasive options to refresh the ageing face have become one of the most popular areas of cosmetic enhancement. And for good reason – minimally invasive options can help reverse the outward signs of ageing without the need for more aggressive surgery. With a range of light therapies, thread lifting procedures and injectables at his clinic, Dr Beaini works with a range of modalities to tailor results to each individual patient. ‘Patients of all ages have been treated with excellent results,’ he says.…

MonaLisa Touch, distributed in Australia by High Tech Laser, is a new non-surgical way to treat vaginal atrophy. MonaLisa Touch can also be used for aesthetic purposes, to counter the effects of ageing and achieve a rejuvenating effect by restoring vaginal tissue. ‘MonaLisa Touch has been developed to help patients suffering from symptoms such as urinary incontinence, painful intercourse, dryness, itchiness, burning, vulval and vaginal pain, prolapse and laxity or looseness,’ explains Dr Fariba Behnia-Willison, a gynaecologist from South Australia. ‘These symptoms are part of a common condition known as vaginal atrophy. Additionally, because of how the treatment works, it can be used for vaginal rejuvenation.’ ‘Almost all of my patients have noticed a significant improvement following the MonaLisa Touch procedure – some have even described the treatment as life-changing,’…

BOHO BEACH WAVES We all love that soft and tousled, just-rolled-out-of bed, beach waves look, without stepping a foot on the sand. However, this seemingly ‘effortless’ and messed-up summer style can actually require a lot of effort! Luckily we’ve rounded up some of our favourite products to get beach-ready, perfectly unkempt waves, no sweat! Starting off with De Lorenzo Elements Ocean Mist ($24.50 for 195ml), spray onto damp or dry hair and hand surf your style for a ruffled, beach look. Scrunch and allow hair to dry naturally.

Scrunch and leave to dry naturally or gently…

24% FAT REDUCTION IN 25 MINUTES In a clinical trial, those treated with SculpSure saw reduction in fat layer thickness of up to 24 percent, six and 12 weeks post-treatment. SculpSure can treat multiple anatomical areas in 25 minutes – that’s less than half the treatment time of other non-invasive body contouring devices. What if I told you that you could lose 24 percent of fat off your abdomen in 25 minutes? You’d probably say I was dreaming. Well, dreams can come true. Cynosure, a leader in energy based aesthetic solutions spanning 120 countries, has just launched SculpSure, the latest in non-invasive body contouring. SculpSure is the world’s first FDA-cleared laser treatment for non-invasive lipolysis of the flanks (love handles) and abdomen. It is also being used to target fat…

Ultherapy is a type of non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the appearance of facial ageing by lifting the skin. Well known to be highly effective for lifting skin on the face and neck areas, Ultherapy can also effectively address the décolletage, targeting lines, wrinkles and sun damage with no surgery and minimal downtime. Dr Joseph Hkeik, director and founder of All Saints Cosmedical, has been an early adopter of Ultherapy and is particularly impressed by the results that can be seen in just one treatment. THE HISTORY BEHIND ULTHERAPY High intensity focused ultrasound, which the Ultherapy system uses, is probably the most interesting type of energy, achieving a level of precision that have not been successfully achieved by other energy-based systems using Radio Frequency (RF) and lasers. The technology…

Ageing is a multifaceted process, and can result in a number of changes to our appearance, including the emergence of fine lines and wrinkles, discolouration, uneven texture, surface veins and lax skin. So a multifaceted cosmetic approach to anti-ageing makes sense. If you’re serious about looking your best without looking ‘done’, and without the downtime of surgery, nothing beats combining different modalities to tighten and brighten skin and restore facial volume. Skin Renu laser and skin clinic in Balmain, Sydney has an all-encompassing approach to anti-ageing and provides patients with an individualised program of non-surgical facial rejuvenation options. ‘A personalised programme of skin rejuvenation that deals with issues such as skin laxity, fine lines, pigmentation and vascular imperfections can achieve significant results,’ says Sylvia Down from Skin Renu. ‘Whatever the…

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy helps kick-start the body’s natural processes that stimulate healing, repair and tissue strengthening, effectively reversing signs of ageing from within. With a history spanning decades in the medical industry, PRP is a regenerative and rejuvenating procedure with countless options for application. It has been used to combat autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren’s syndrome; in sports medicine for treating injured joints and muscles; and now – thanks to companies such as Regen Lab PRP who were first to market in the cosmetic medicine field eight years ago – PRP has entered the cosmetic anti-ageing arena as a ‘natural’ way to rejuvenate and beautify skin. PRP can be used to treat a number of different concerns, including pigmentation, sagging skin, fine lines, scarring and uneven skin tone.…

Consumers are constantly bombarded by the global corporate brands with marketing claims and media hype promising much and delivering little. Skin professionals and clinical therapists are highly skilled in the area of skin analysis and recommending clinical-grade products containing active ingredients that actually make a difference. Of course, the condition of our skin is due to numerous factors, including genetics, environmental stress, nutrition, health status, topical skincare and clinical treatments. All of these factors must be considered both independently and in relation to each other. A cosmeceutical skincare regimen is an integral part of the equation. Mass market department store brands are generally unable to offer the high grade of skincare that clinical skin professionals can offer for the following reasons: Packaging vs product High street brands often spend more…

I think we’re all in agreement that when it comes to packing your evening bag with cosmetics: less is inevitably more. Unless you fancy sitting down all night babysitting a product-plumped, over-sized handbag that could fit a small dog in it, you will probably want to carry a small handbag or clutch. So when space is at a premium, think like a strategist – weighing up the minimum number of tools to turn your look from day to night with maximum impact. If you stock your purse or a desk drawer with these items, you’ll never be caught short transitioning from office to evening out. Pare it back to basics but don’t forget to tailor your makeup itinerary to include what works best for you. THE MAKEUP ESSENTIALS COVER Achieve…
