Background: Skin aging can be delayed through therapeutic resources. In manual therapy, myofascial stretching has been used tomobilize the structures of the skin, fasciae and muscles in order to reorganize the collagen, improving the appearance of the skin.Objective: Investigate the effects of TENSI massage technique, associated or not with firming cream, on skin aging. Methods: Thesample consisted of 27 volunteers, over the age of 40, who had static and/or dynamic wrinkles caused by facial skin aging. Th eevaluation was performed using the facial evaluation protocol (FEP), photos, morphological analysis of the face by the Dolphin ImagingSoftware and questionnaires. The volunteers were divided into two subgroups: G1 - Manual therapy with 12 volunteers and G2 - Manualtherapy and cosmetics with 15 volunteers. The treatment was carried out in three cycles. Each cycle corresponded to 5 weeks, with twotreatment sessions per week for the first 3 weeks and one session per week for the 4th and 5th weeks. The protocol start ed with facecleaning, followed by cutaneous myostretching. Only the G2 used the firming cream together with the therapy. Results: The softwareanalysis showed changes in both groups, with improvement in the paralateronasal line, in the mandibular projection and in the nasolabialangle, however, these were better perceived in the volunteers of the G2. No adverse reactions were reported and few volunteersobserved hyperemia at the skin. The firmness of the skin was reported as “Much firmer” in the vast majority of volunteers, as well as theclassification in “Excellent treatment”. Conclusion: The myofascial stretch caused by the TENSI Method proved to be effective inimproving skin aging, however, its results are even more satisfactory when adding firming cosmetics

Facial skin aging has been in the sphere of human interest since the earliest times, but relatively recently, along with the new branch of medicine — aesthetics there have appeared opportunities both for its slowing down and the instrumental study of the process. Recently, the emphasis is on the use of autologous preparations, especially on the basis of the own blood, among which the promising procedure seems to be CGF Harmony (stem cells labeled with CD34+ antigen and concentrated growth factors). The aim of this paper was to assess both subjective and objectified matured facial skin before and after CGF Harmony administrations, based on medical photographic documentation (the Fotomedicus system) and instrumental examination of skin parameters (Cutometer Dual MPA 580). The presented results show high variability and dynamics of obtained values. At the same time, they suggest a sustained improvement in the visual correction of the face oval and flattening of wrinkles, perceived positively by both the patient and her surroundings, and amelioration visible in photographic and instrumental studies in terms of skin elasticity (parameters R2 and R7). From the research and the manufacturer's proposal, it appears that one should suggest treatments in a semi‑annual cycle preceded by facial skin examinations.

All areas and tissues of the face will go through age-related changes; however, aging occurs at a faster rate in the lower third of the face than in other areas. This study presents the anatomical and physiological aspects of age-related changes in all areas and tissues of the face, mainly in the lower third, such as the skin, subcutaneous fat, muscular-aponeurotic system, deep layers of adipose tissue, and bone structures of the face. Involutional changes were differentiated by taking into account the constitutional and architectonic features of the face. Heterochronous and heterotopic characteristics of age-related changes, cutaneous, and treatment components of facial aging were identified. The most commonly used visual scales to assess cosmetic effects and determine chronological aging included global aesthetic improvement scale, Glogau scale, Fitzpatrick wrinkle classification, and Merz visual 5-point aging scale. According to the classification of age-related changes proposed by Kolgunenko, five morphotypes of aging are distinguished: tired, wrinkled, deformation, mixed, and muscular. Understanding the pathogenesis of involutional changes in the lower third of the face in patients with different morphotypes of aging allows for an objective and individualized choice of optimal therapy methods.

Prevention and correction of external signs of the face and neck aging are the main direction of modern cosmetology. The study of the skin functions of various zones of face and neck will allow to carry out more effectively cosmetic effects. The aim is to study the features of the elasticity of facial skin (forehead, skin around the eyes, cheeks) and neck in patients without external signs of skin aging. Material and methods. Elasticity of the face and neck skin was determined in 63 women aged 20-30 years, who made up four comparison groups: in the 1st group (22 women) the elasticity of the forehead skin was studied, in the 2nd group (43 women) - around eye, in the third group (49 women) - cheeks, in the 4th group (24 women) - the neck. To measure the elasticity of the skin the Cutometer MPA 580 (“Courage Khazaka”, Germany) was used. Results. The comparative analysis was performed with the forehead skin. The skin around the eyes was 61-68% more stretchy (R0, R8), 65% worse returned to the initial state (R1), including 26-62% with repeated suction cycles sensor (R3, R4, R9), by 1-11% less elastic (R2, R5, R7), by elastic-viscous properties (R6) is 26% better, but overall its elasticity is lower by 35-53% (F0, F1). The cheek skin is 91- 104% more stretchy (R0, R8), worse returns to the initial state (R1) by 22%, including by 10-82% with repeated suction cycles by the sensor (R3, R4, R9),13% more elastic (R2) and 15% less elastic (R5, R7), the elastic-viscous properties (R6) 41% better, but overall its elasticity is lower by 31-100% (F0, F1) . The neck skin is 186-257% more stretchable (R0, R8), 6% worse returns to the initial state (R1), including 13-164% with repeated suction cycles by the sensor (R3, R4, R9), by 11-28% more elastic (R2, R5, R7), by elastic-viscous properties (R6) 50% better, but overall its elasticity is lower by 88-153% (F0, F1). Conclusion. The skin of the forehead, around the eyes, cheeks and neck, according to the elasticity indices, has significant differences. The obtained data should be taken into account when carrying out various cosmetology techniques, further study are needed.

AbstractSoap facial cleanser is needed to keep the facial skin to keep them clean and healthy. The purpose of this study to make soap cleanser with natural materials such as hard water deposits leri. This is because the use of leri water starch or starch granules of fine particles contained in water leri dansel dust can shed the dead skin on the face because of the essential amino acids contained can regenerate skin cells. In addition, water leri can brighten the face because the leri water oryzanol contain substances that can update the development and formation of the pigment melanin, which is effectively to ward off ultraviolet rays. The process of making soap using the principle of saponification reaction, namely the reaction between the oil and the KOH/NaOH. Facial cleansing soap made in this study is solid soap. Based on the results of quality test, soap solid leri water has a pH of 11.1, saponification number is 33, the water content of 46% as well as respondents to the test aspects of aroma and foam shows good results so this water leri treatment can be an alternative solution to prevent the use of soap facial cleansers that contain harmful chemicals. Keywords: air leri, soap cleanser, saponification  AbstrakSabun pembersih wajah sangat diperlukan untuk menjaga kulit wajah agar tetap bersih dan sehat. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk membuat sabun pembersih wajah dengan bahan alami berupa endapan air leri.

This report describes the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and histopathologic features of oculodermal melanocytosis in a young dog. A 3-year-old male neutered Labrador Retriever presented with conjunctival and scleral hyperpigmentation of the right eye, with concurrent ipsilateral cutaneous hyperpigmentation involving the right side of the face. Initial skin and conjunctival biopsies revealed an accumulation of histologically benign melanocytes within the dermis and conjunctival stroma, respectively. Enucleation was elected 19 months later by the referring veterinarian due to the progression of ocular pigmentation with concurrent marked corneal lipidosis and the suspicion of a scleral mass. On gross and histopathologic examination of the globe, there was marked panuveal melanocytosis with extension into the sclera, bulbar conjunctiva, and connective tissue surrounding the optic nerve, as well as sharply demarcated ipsilateral hyperpigmentation of the facial skin. The findings are characteristic of oculodermal melanocytosis (nevus of Ota), a dermal melanocytic hamartoma presenting as cutaneous facial hyperpigmentation that corresponds to the distribution of the ophthalmic and maxillary branches of the trigeminal nerve, often with ipsilateral ocular involvement.

AbstractFor optimal results, facial rejuvenation procedures should address both the tissue laxity and volume deflation associated with facial aging. The lift-and-fill face lift, in which fat grafting provides volumetric rejuvenation to the face while surgical lift effectively repositions and removes ptotic and redundant tissue, has revolutionized the plastic surgeon's approach to the aged face. An understanding of the intricate anatomy of distinct facial fat compartments and a systematic method to assess areas of fat atrophy and volume depletion are keys to provide patients with a natural and youthful result. Fat grafting may be used to improve contour in any area treatable by nonautologous injectable fillers, including the temples, forehead, upper and lower orbit, cheeks, perioral region, nasolabial fold, jawline, and chin—with the benefit of a more natural contour and integration with native tissue.
