Dermal Needling is quickly becoming the skin rejuvenation modality of choice for many aware aesthetic skin care practitioners around the world. In the face of so many high profile modalities, such as lasers and other micro-injury techniques that can deliver less than optimal results, dermal needling is providing, in many cases, equal or better results with less cost and effort. The key to needling is the healing response that the process stimulates. Until recently, the keratinocyte, which as considered less important than the fibroblast in creating healthy skin, was abused shamelessly with a variety of ablative treatments. New research, however, suggests the humble keratinocyte is responsible for releasing several key growth factors that conduct the orchestra of cells beneath it to facilitate ideal skin rejuvenation. Find out why dermal needling is the only rejuvenation treatment that maximizes penetration of essential cell nutrients and maximize release of growth factors associated with the positive aspects of wound healing simultaneously. Discover why dermal needling eliminates the risk of melanocyte heat injury and actually optimize cell function, making it the ideal treatment for all skin types. This expanded edition challenges the conventional wisdom of prolonging the inflammatory response in rejuvenation response in rejuvenation, and includes which product ingredients to avoid, and why. This book provides a concise guide to this exceptional modality, explaining everything a practitioner needs to know about the how's, why's, and when's of dermal needling. Anyone serious about understanding skin rejuvenation will find the content of this book a comprehensive source of valuable information. It is perhaps the "bible" of dermal needling and cosmetic rolling -- Publisher's website.

Radiofrequency (RF) has been used in many areas of medicine for some time, but only gained popularity in aesthetics in the early 2000s. Although initial procedures provided variable results, the field of RF has grown dramatically. Currently, a multitude of devices which offer an array of technologies, each geared to specific applications, are on the market. In this book, a comprehensive discussion of the evolving area of RF is provided, and the current and cutting-edge technologies which span from noninvasive treatments of facial wrinkles to invasive body contouring procedures are discussed in detail. The methodologies covered include thermal and ablative modalities, volumetric and fractional approaches, as well as practical aspects of application in clinical practice. Included are also pearls on patient management and prevention and treatment of complications. Finally, RF-based procedures are compared with equivalent laser and surgical approaches in a risk-benefit evaluation. Reviewing the standard of care for RF-based treatments and providing information relevant for clinical decision-making and practice management, this publication is a valuable tool for dermatologists, plastic surgeons and all practitioners who use or are contemplating the introduction of RF into practice.
